Monday, August 24th, 2009

The 'young vet' as he refers to himself, Amir Johnson, is a fairly grizzled 22-year-old in the NBA.  He was the last player selected from high school back in 2005, and mid-way through his four years, he was given some nice guaranteed money by Joe Dumars and the Pistons.  But ...

Tom Brady: I Try Not To Think About My Knee

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Lorenzo Neal: ‘I understand I’m not as good as I once was, but I know I’m still a good player.’

Monday, August 24th, 2009

I guess the Oakland Raiders thought veteran fullback Lorenzo Neal was too upstanding a citizen or too reliable as a teammate and player to keep him on their roster for the 2009 season. Neal was cut Wednesday by the Raiders, leaving him without a team for the moment in what ...

Larry Fitzgerald: “At the End of the Day All I Really Do is Catch a Football. I’m Not Saving Any Lives.”

Monday, August 24th, 2009

If you want to talk about stand-up acts, at a position where there are maybe two or three marquee players who actually have a decent personality, Larry Fitzgerald is not only the best wide receiver in the game currently, he could also be one of the most genuine players in ...

Nick Saban: ‘We certainly want to make the sacrifices we have to make to give back to our fans…’

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Love him or hate him, it's hard to argue with the results that Nick Saban has produced at the collegiate level. Everywhere he's gone, he's won. In his first year directing the Alabama Crimson Tide program - one that was in desperate need of a shot in the arm. Saban ...
