The Milwaukee Brewers are hitting their stride quite a bit earlier this year than they did in 2007, when it took a late summer charge for the Brewers to get on a roll. Despite losing C.C. Sabathia to the Yankees this offseason and seeing their other ace, Ben Sheets, not ...

Shane Matthews On The Urban Meyer/Gators Controversy

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Shane Matthews is a former quarterback of the Florida Gators and now hosts a radio show.  From time to time, he comments on how his old team is doing, and he even refers to them as "we."  To my knowledge, he talks about plays, what the team should be doing, ...

BLOG WARZ: The Indy Star Fights Big Blue Stampede, Hilarity Ensues

Monday, May 18th, 2009

I'm not going to get into a big thing about blogs vs. the MSM (Lord knows you don't need another 5,000 words tacked onto this post). But I will say that I freaking love blog wars. It's a great excuse to scream "BLOG WARSSSSSS!!!" in the Cartman voice which is ...

Joe Girardi On The Yankees’ Rough Start, Joba, And A-Rod

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Joe Girardi, as a second year Manager for the most storied team in baseball, is doing a fine job in my opinion.  Injuries, new players, and most especially this Alex Rodriguez drama, are enough to cripple a man.  Many people criticized his hiring but it takes a special man to ...

Jeremy Staat may not have made a name for himself in the National Football League, but he sure deserves recognition for his commitment to his country and his convictions about what is most important in life. Staat, a 2nd Round Draft Pick in 1998, started 11 games for the Pittsburgh ...

Jeff Fisher Thinks Jim Schwartz Will Win in Detroit

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Jeff Fisher is phenomenally underrated -- the Tennessee Titans always seem to win and under his watch, there have been very few losing teams. Yet Fisher almost universally gets less love than many other coaches in the NFL. And this year, the Titans will probably be good again; of course, it ...

Chauncey Billups In Familar Territory With 7th Straight Conference Finals Appearance

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Lucky number 7 or at least the fans in Denver are hoping so. Chauncey Billups has been to seven conference final series in a row now that his Nuggets have disposed of the Dallas Mavericks. Chauncey has been the catalyst on the court for the Nuggets through this playoff run. He’s ...

Quincy Carter Talks About Being a Victim, Wanting His Money

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Quincy Carter didn't make my list of worst draft picks a while back, but I suppose he could have -- he was supposed to help save the Dallas franchise. That, um, obviously didn't happen, and now Carter is struggling through a series of personal problems as well various random football ...
