Former Denver Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan: ‘I’d Look At Anything…’

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Only 7 months or so removed from being relieved of his duties as the head coach of the Denver Broncos, Mike Shanahan isn't yet jonesing to get back in to the game. He won't stay away from the game too long, though. I think most people would agree on that. ...

Randy Couture: I’d Like A Rematch With Brock

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Brock Lesnar versus Randy Couture was definitely a little disappointing.  Brock said all the wrong things going in to the match - disrespecting his legendary opponent by calling him old, etcetera - but in the end, he simply overpowered the wrestling machine.  Do we want to see this rematch considering ...

The Original LT (Lawrence Taylor): ‘I Don’t Watch Football, I’d Rather Watch Two People…’

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Wow. Lawrence Taylor is a great interview. I suppose I wouldn't label him a lunatic, but I'd certainly say that he's, um, eccentric, confident and probably not the best person in the world to upset. The Hall of Fame linebacker also happens to be an avid and accomplished golfer. He ...

Steve Spurrier Hoping To Guide Gamecocks To Bigger, Better Things In Fifth Year At South Carolina

Monday, July 20th, 2009

With college football coaches not allowed to meet with their players just yet, South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier jaunted off to Lake Tahoe to participate in the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament this past weekend. The Gamecocks are coming off a 7-6 season in which they went just ...

Rookie Of The Year Matt Ryan Eager For Encore Performance

Monday, July 20th, 2009

We're just about there. Training camps around the National Football League are set to open before the end of July. For the Atlanta Falcons, there likely will be tremendous optimism and energy in year two of the Mike Smith era. Last year, nobody expected much out of the Falcons. This ...

Phillip Rivers: ‘Come On, How Bad Would It Have Looked If I Had Won My Own QB Challenge..’

Monday, July 20th, 2009

San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers is just about as excitable a guy as there is in the National Football League. Some consider his flamboyance on the field as disrespectful, annoying and cocky, but love him or hate him, he's still one of the better signal callers in the league. ...

George Karl: I Told Dunleavy Iverson Could Work In LA

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Do the Clippers want to take this chance?  Really?  A team with a wretched history finally has things turning around, finally has a couple young studs in Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin, finally has fans mildly enthusiastic about the future, and they're thinking about signing Allen Iverson?  I love AI ...

Jeff Francoeur Traded To Struggling New York Mets

Friday, July 17th, 2009

The New York Mets seem to be going through their annual swoon at just the wrong time.  Whether it's a stretch of poor pitching, an inconsistent bullpen or a dry spell from the bats, the Mets just seem to have a knack at doing just enough to not quite get ...

Peter Vecsey: I Thought About Declining Hall Of Fame Induction

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Peter Vecsey has never shied away from being critical and relaying his take on NBA players, whether nice or not.  So did you think he would stop now because he's been elected to the Hall?  Not bloody likely.  His words, as you'll read below, remain sharp and poignant.  His work ...

Drew Bledsoe On Losing Job To Tom Brady: ‘There Was Some Soul Searching Going On…’

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Drew Bledsoe was always Mr. Cool out there on the field during his very good, if not great, NFL career. His nonchalant demeanor is one of the reasons, I'd argue, that the former #1 overall draft pick in 1993 threw for over 44,000 yards during his 14 year playing career.  ...
