Knicks Want Woodson, Lakers Have Work To Do
I really thought for sure Phil Jackson was going to be the next coach of the Knicks. Apparently, according to ESPN, the Knicks are trying to get a deal done to keep Mike Woodson as their head coach.
What's the worst that could happen?
Sure he had an 18-6 regular season record but the Knicks have real personnel problems. Can Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire coexist? Is ...

Wright Is Right, LeBron is LeGone In 4th....Again
God, do I love David Wright.
In case you missed last night, while the Mets were getting blown out by the Brewers, Mets reliever DJ Carrasco was ejected for hitting a batter. Wright was due up the next inning so Mets manager
Terry Collins informed Wright that he was going to be pinch-hit for. Collins' thought process, apparently, was to protect Wright from any possible retaliation from the Brewers and ...

Goodell Intentions: Roger Means Well, He's Just Gone Too Far
Everyone's already sounded off on the NFL's one year suspension of Jonathan Vilma- and they're right. How is a player following the lead of his coaches as culpable as those who set the example?
Sure, he should miss some time if Commissioner Roger Goodell is serious about making this one example the example that hopefully eradicates this practice from the game, but if there is some
incredibly damning evidence the ...

Petrino's Texts, Mets Hot Start, Bulls Beat Heat
Bobby Petrino's text messages in the wake of his little fiasco were released yesterday. The only thing offensive I found about them: substituting "no" for "know". What are you, 14?
The Mets start off 4-0. David Wright jams his pinkie, can't play, and suddenly the Mets bats go silent. I think this personifies every Mets fans' feelings:

The Payton- Petrino Connection
What do the Sean Payton suspension and Bobby Petrino's firing have in common? They both are more the result of their attempts to mislead their employer (Yes, I know the Saints are technically
Payton's employer, but they all subject themselves the Commissioner's office) rather than their individual actions.
As my twitter timeline blew up with people calling NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell everything short of Stalinist, the opinion that Goodell ...

Manning's a Bronco, Didn't See THAT Comin'...
Welp, I'm over the plague and now back to sharing my thoughts with you all. All two of you, that is. So you got that going for you...
Peyton Manning is Denver Bronco. My brain is still marinating on this whole concept. We all knew Elway wasn't buying Tim Tebow as a starting QB but to go out and get Peyton ... << MORE >>

Dolphins Losing Manning A Reflection On Ownership
Peyton Manning is favoring the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals as his new place of employment, according to ESPN.com.
How's that crap taco taste, Miami?
Let's tally up the ole' scoreboard, shall we? Last season, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross effectively alienated then-coach Tony Sparano in his over-zealous attempt to attract Jim Harbaugh to come
coach the Dolphins. The fact that he thought there was a snowball's ...

Bounty Practice Indefensible
"Bountygate" is old news by now but the ole' Twitter-feed is still full of people trying to dismiss/diminish/justify this revelation.
There are a couple of different angles to consider when talking about this issue. The first justification is that "everybody does it". Do I even need to address this? I'm worried I can't express
my scoff at this explanation without sounding like an overbearing parent and asking you if ...

Lin, NBA All-Star, Mets, T.O., and RG III
Lin-sanity continues.
In other notes, the NBA All-Star game was played tonight. Even Switzerland was impressed by the lack of defense. Thank YOU!
In all seriousness though, I know it's an All-Star game. It's an exhibition for the fans. I get that. But REALLY LeBRON???
Dwayne Wade is getting closer and closer to my Hall of Nemeses. ...

Why I'm Pulling For Ryan Braun
Ryan Braun held a press conference in which he said, among other things, that "the truth was on (his) side". He may be right, but this whole fiasco is more of testament to how jaded baseball fans
have become. I mean, who could forget this?
