Bonds, Salazar, Melo, NFL, and Lawrence Taylor

Barry Bonds' perjury trial is underway and there's already been a witness claiming to have seen Bonds and trainer Greg Anderson go into a bedroom with a needle and come out with 25 home runs. Thank you!

I made a joke on our facebook/ twitter account about Luis Salazar becoming a Big East basketball official now that he only has one eye, but holy crap. I can't imagine hanging out in the dugout one minute and being airlifted to a hospital the next needing reconstructive surgery on my face and losing an eye.

Write it down kids, this is the only time I'll have empathy for anyone associated with the Braves.

Just for the record: the Denver Nuggets are 11-4 since they traded Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks, who are 7-10 since that same event. I'm not sayin'- I'm just sayin'. If Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson are the gold standards to compare NBA players to, Melo is a case study for the opinion that there are tons more Scottie Pippens and James Worthy's than there are Magic's and Michael's. Really good players who can help a team but can't necessarily lead a team anywhere.

The NFL and NFLPA are still waiting for court dates to try to begin to settle their little pissing contest. I need to be clear on this: I fault the players for walking away from the table and I fault the owners for refusing to justify their need for an extra billion dollars.

People go off on these employer-employee tangents and it really doesn't apply to professional athletes. The two need each other equally. They are more business partners than anything else and to think otherwise is downright delusional.

The NFL did pass a rule change the other day moving kickoffs to the 35 yard line, reportedly to address the injuries that happen on kickoff returns. Anyone watch a football game recently? Just being on the field can result in an injury.

If you're going to move the kickoffs up, which will inevitably lead to more touchbacks, why not just do away with the opening kickoff completely and just have teams start at the 20 yard line? From here on out, the only drama on a kickoff is going to be whether or not the wind blows the ball off the tee.

And speaking of blowing, former Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor stated that he doesn't ask his prostitutes for proof of age. Great. Do I really need to say anything?
