Visanthe Shiancoe: Sometimes I See A White Guy, Sometimes I See A Black Guy

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Visanthe Shiancoe is one funny man.  I doubt he found it very funny when he was caught with his pants down - literally - on national TV last season, but he's taken it all in stride, so much so that he can joke about it now.  Speaking of taking it ...

Tito Ortiz: Last Time I Was 100% I Was World Champion

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I wonder how this will all end for Tito.  I know he says he's 100 percent, but come on, waiting to heal and doing some exercise is a little different than rolling around with a grown man.  Who the hell am I to question whether or not he can have ...

Now That Kurt Rambis Is Gone, Phil Jackson May Stick Around For A While

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

In sports, there's always a story behind the story and unfortunately we rarely get to hear it.  That's why I enjoy books like Jim Bouton's "Ball Four" or Jack McCallums "Seven Seconds or Less" where you truly get access,  not the access that the PR departments of each team decide you ...

Paul Cambria: Patrick Kane Did Not Commit A Crime

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Patrick Kane faces four charges related to an incident with a cab driver in Buffalo.  Kane was apparently involved in the beating and robbery of said cab driver, but his lawyer, Paul Cambria, claims none of this occurred and will be proven in court.  What Cambria does not deny in ...

HasselBACK Key to Seahawks Rebound

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Matt Hasselbeck was one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL last season. His bulging disk in his lower back was so bad last season that it actually was contributing to a knee ailment as well. The nerve from the disk not only shot down to Hasselbeck's knee, but ...

Joe Girardi: I Can’t Believe We’re Going Back On A 10-Day Road Trip

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Is it just me or are the Yankees harder to hate right now?  I really want to despise them as I, and many, many other baseball fans have for years, but they seem more likable.  I don't know what it is, they still have a good majority of their players ...

Kurt Rambis: This Opportunity Was A Better Opportunity For Me

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Man, this guy is thorough.  I suppose Kurt has learned a lot, and taken a lot from both Phil Jackson and Pat Riley, both as an assistant and a player.  For a young team like the Timberwolves, there needs to be a teacher at the helm who has patience for ...

Rick Neuheisel Ready For Bigger And Better Things In Year Two

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Former Bruins QB Rick Neuheisel returned to his alma mater last year to help restore pride - and more victories - to the beleaguered Bruins program. Though the season started with a bang with a win against Tennessee, the Bruins were miserable for the better part of the year. Particularly ...

Look Out NFL – From The Mouth Of Troy Polamalu: ‘I am light years ahead of where I was last year when I didn’t practice at all during camp.’

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Steelers free safety Troy Polamalu had a monster year in 2008. For starters, and perhaps most importantly, Polamalu played in all 16 regular season games plus all three of the Steelers playoff victories in route to winning Super Bowl XLIII. Polamalu had a team-high 7 interceptions last year and helped ...

Roddy White: We Didn’t Have Matt Ryan For A Lot Of OTA’s Last Year

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I retired from fantasy football this season (it may be a Jordan type retirement), but when I drafted Roddy White last year, many people scoffed.  Of course, I did not expect to get the output Roddy provided, but based on his numbers the year before with Joey Harrington throwing him ...
