Jason Richardson: I Still Buy Ramen Noodles And SPAM

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

When both media and the blogosphere analyze the upcoming season for the Suns, Jason Richardson's name is rarely mentioned.  There's talk of Steve Nash's extension, the Shaq trade, and the Grant Hill re-signing, but J-Rich is a solid player who is often overlooked.  I get the feeling J-Rich hasn't been ...

Jim Brown’s Turn At The Mic

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Hall of Fame running back and Renaissance Man extraordinaire Jim Brown mostly keeps a low profile and remains out of the eye of the public, particularly during the NFL offseason. But with training camps set to open around the league later this week, not to mention the recent developments surrounding ...

Carlos Boozer: I Love Miami

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

As Carlos sits by the phone and waits for the Utah Jazz to trade him, that pending transaction might have a great affect on another big man moving.  Lamar Odom still hasn't decided between the Lakers and the Miami Heat - if Boozer was to get shipped to Miami, wouldn't ...

Antoine Winfield Gets Paid

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield finally got the contract he was looking for late last week when he re-upped with the Vikings for five years. The extension includes $16 million in guaranteed money. The 11-year veteran had his finest year as a pro last year. He scored two defensive touchdowns, ...

Roger Goodell Explains Decision Behind Michael Vick Reinstatement

Monday, July 27th, 2009

After weeks of speculation about whether or not NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would reinstate embattled quarterback Michael Vick, the debate has ended.  To a certain extent at least. Goodell announced the former Atlanta Falcons star would indeed be reinstated for the final two games of the 2009 NFL preseason and ...

Nicole Matthews of PETA: Vick Needs Psychological Testing

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Matthews, a representative of PETA, is adamant that Michael Vick undergo further psychological testing before the NFL reinstates him.  In a general sense, I agree that a man who harmed and killed dogs the way Vick did should take a test or two of his choice for his own knowledge.  ...

Graham Harrell: Canadian Football Is Fun

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Graham Harrell recently signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.  As a Canadian, I feel I should have known that fact, buy I truly had no idea.  That's how much of the CFL I watch, but what Harrell says is true, the game is pretty, pretty exciting.  ...

Jim Parque Admits to HGH Use After Injury in 2000 ALDS

Monday, July 27th, 2009

What’s Jim Parque pushing? A book? Amway products? Why on earth would anyone come out, more than six years after throwing his last pitch in the Majors, and admit that he was juiced up during his career? My first reaction was that Parque was pushing some kind of product, and ...

John Kuester: I’m An Experienced Rookie Head Coach

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I don't think there's any doubt that Michael Curry could have been better prepared to deal with the ups and downs in his only season as an NBA head coach.  Listening to John Kuester months before he fills Curry's seat, the man's wheels are in motion on a whole other ...

DeWayne Wise: By Far, The Best Catch I’ve Ever Made

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I've watched DeWayne Wise's catch which saved Mark Buehrle's perfect game over and over and I still can't believe it.  In my opinion, great catches in baseball can start looking identical after a while, but those ones against the wall are perfection in and of themselves.  There isn't another way ...
