Lakers Edge At Least Entertaining
The Lakers served notice to the world that they are still capable of beating a talented opponent. It's either that or they just realized that the Clippers are not all that used to success and
therefore you can screw with their head.
It's probably that second thing I said.
It's no secret to anyone that these Lakers are suspect. But for one better than ...

Jurassic Eli, Raiders New Coach, Prince Fielder, New Orleans Hornets
If you listened to Tuesday's 87 Live, this is what I was talking about- see if you can spot a young Eli Manning in this clip:
The Oakland Raiders have hired Broncos D-Coordinator Dennis Allen to be their new head coach. Allen beats out a field that ...

Championship Sunday Thoughts
In the week leading up to the AFC Championship game, Joe Flacco became the center of the Ravens universe, both good and bad.

In light of S Ed Reed's comments that he looked like he didn't have a grasp of the offense against the 2nd ranked defense in the NFL, the Houston Texans, there was much discussion about just
what Flacco is as a quarterback.
Paterno Legacy Polarizing
Joe Paterno passed away Sunday from complications from lung cancer.
I'm not going to rehash all my feelings about him. If you follow this blog or my twitter account you know how I feel about the recent events at Penn State.
Paterno has become the definition of the tragic figure. The long tenured head coach of one of the more successful football teams in the ...

Keith Grieve: Lakers Just Don't Have It Where They Need It
Shame on me for not going on the record, but I knew the Lakers were going to lose that game to the Heat last night.
This Lakers team leaves you less than satisfied when you watch them. Kobe's Kobe, and he always will be. It's once again his supporting cast of characters that come into question.
PG and SF is where the Lakers are their ... << MORE >>

Billups, Darvish, Irsay, ESPN-Tebow, and Flacco-Reed
Los Angeles Clippers G Chauncey Billups lived up to his nickname, "Mr. Big Shot", in the closing seconds of last night's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
That was the least he could do after that abhorrent attempt at a pass in the lane moments earlier.

#NFL Saturday Thoughts, Sunday Preview- Multimedia Edition!
To quote the great American poet Meatloaf: two out of three ain't bad. OK, so it was one out of two, but there's no song about that so leave me alone.
Give credit to the San Francisco 49ers- no, on second thought give credit to 49ers QB Alex Smith. He made some big throws and one great play with his feet when he had to and kept the Saints on

NFL Divisional Round Saturday Preview
So you say you've got some playoff football to watch this weekend? WELL, without further adieu...
New Orleans Saints vs San Francisco 49ers While I was driving to the old day job today, I heard Mike and Mike debating about how we'll find out whether or not
the old adage "Defense wins championshps" still rings true. When you think about it, this game is about a battle ...

The Time Is Now For Eli To Prove Elite Status
This weekend is Eli Manning's moment.
Sure, that whole Super Bowl win over the then-undefeated New England Patriots was big. As magical that ending was, there was something lacking as far as the referendum on Manning's career. That
improbable catch by David Tyree that kept the crucial drive alive made it feel a little too lucky.
The NFC Championship game that year also relied on ...

NCAA National Championship Game- Multimedia Style!
So have you heard the one about the college football team who gets ranked #1, goes to the National Championship game, and then has all its players' and coaches' brains sucked out through their ears
in the days leading up to the big game?
Me neither.
This is the best analogy I could find for what transpired last night. Drago is Alabama, Apollo Creed ...
