Brown Bag it, Baby
I understand he’s all about getting value and giving second chances, but honestly why is Jerry Jones going after Lapdance Jones? The track record speaks for itself: the success of T.O. after he single-handedly blew up the Eagles — a …
I’m not exactly sure whether or not this is public knowledge, but it’s news to me. Sports by Brooks points me to a 2003 article with Time Magazine in which Hideki Matsui tells of his extra-curricular activities, shall we say. Being about …
My faithful Indian companion. Couldn’t resist it. For some reason or another, probably because they suck, the Miami Heat have been a great source for outstanding quotes this year. And this isn’t limited to just their players and coaches …
Last year if you recall, I spent a busy few weeks writing up individual previews for each team. It was a nice way for me to brush up on all the off season moves but for some reason I didn’t get around to it this year. So in its place are my …
1. Yankees — The Yanks had a terrible start to the season and they still finished with 94 wins. Every pitcher in their system got hurt in the first few months and they still hung on. This team is deep and their front office is creative. Their …
1. Tigers — Just look at their lineup, OK? I dare you, DARE YOU, to find a better offense in the game. They’re simply stacked. Even if they get two-three injuries, they’ll be good enough to withstand it. And I really think their …
1. Mariners — Any offense that begins with Ichiro at the top is already off to a good start. Richie Sexson will be back to his old self, while Beltre, Ibanez, Johjima, and Vidro will be solid but not spectacular. The Erik Bedard trade puts them …
1. Mets — Easily the most complete team in the NL, thanks in large part to the addition of Johan Santana, no coincidence. I thought the trade of Milledge yielded better returns than most critics gave them credit for. Reyes, Wright, and Beltran …
1. Cubs — I’m not as in love with the offense as I think other people are, but Soriano, D. Lee, and Aramis are enough to keep them going. Their starting pitching is their strong point and quite deep, with Hill and Marquis giving them the …
1. Diamondbacks — The best got better acquiring a front line starter like Dan Haren. Their bullpen is weaker without Jose Valverde closing games, and overall it should regress from their stellar performance last year. On the other hand, their …
Honestly, I don’t get this guy. Maybe he’s like Gary Sheffield or something where he always needs an enemy as motivation to stay focused. Because for some reason Shaq can’t be traded to a new team without getting in some parting …
With everyone’s focus being on the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 Games coming up, everyone may have lost site of the tournament that really matters. That’s right, well before the Final Four matchups take place, the real title game will have …
Credit Sports by Brooks with another Mitch Johnson-like dish today. Jason over at SbB caught the news that one of Stanford’s finest Twin Trees is dating none other than the most overhyped golfer in the world, Michelle Wie. This is quite the …
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of you aren’t into kiddie porn. I’m going to go out on another limb and guess that most of you know better than to surf for and store such deranged material on your work …
I’m sick and tired of people questioning Chad Johnson. I’m sick and tired of people making an issue out of Ocho Cinco. I’m sick and tired of people saying he’s a cancer who needs to go. Chad Johnson is one of only three good …
The way those scouts operate … man, if they took one look at his vertical, he’d definitely go on Day 1. If you remember a while ago, I posted the video of the amazing, superhuman Gathright jumping cars in a parking lot. I compared …
