Brown Bag it, Baby
A lot of the news surrounding Vince Young recently revolved around him appearing shirtless in a photo with several other men, seemingly at a club. VY recently apologized because the photograph sends the wrong message about him to kids. I’m not …
I always thought guys at the Major League level make it to that point and stay there because they work hard. Sometimes I even chuckle at TV and magazine fluff pieces that try to convince you how hard team A or player B works; they all work hard, …
True story. It’s so old school, it’s fantastic. There were always rumors of players being traded for a bucket of balls or a few bats, but this one is actually real. As FanHouse points out, John Odom was traded from the Calgary Vipers of …
I was planning to write up on this yesterday when I first saw this quote, but as you probably noticed, I didn’t do any posting. You can chalk that up to LBS being out with “flu-like symptoms.” Funny how multiple athletes have …
Last month I was defending overweight MLB players from irrational criticism by the media. I would like to add that since the writing of the post, C.C. Sabathia has a 1.45 ERA, and Prince Fielder has five home runs and has raised his slugging …
I’m not exactly expecting you to know who Patrick Kane is because the last hockey players you probably followed included Gretzky and Messier. I’m not too far off. But Patrick Kane is a 19-year-old winger who was drafted first overall by …
When most players are asked about an opponent they prefer to face, they usually stay pretty P.C. on the issue giving the “We don’t care who we play” line, or the “We’ll come out ready to play regardless of who the …
Now that The Dude has officially called it quits, the discussion begins: will Piazza go into the Hall as a Dodger or a Met? First off, The Dude goes down as the best hitting catcher in the game. He was crappy behind the plate and couldn’t throw …
As if wearing a Giants hat to a Celtics game — in Boston no less — wasn’t enough to start a controversy, Brady may have had another trick up his sleeve. I don’t know where they get this stuff from, but the Detroit Free Press …
I feel as if I’m not allowed to say anything negative about the guy because he overcame cancer. I mean no ill-will towards Jon Lester, and I certainly respect him for having dealt with such a severe issue and making it to the major leagues …
While watching the end of the Hornets/Spurs Game 7, there was one thought that consistently ran through my head: why the hell is Jannero Pargo taking all the shots? With talented players like Chris Paul and David West on the floor, I couldn’t …
I’m sure this crossed my mind last year when the news about Spygate first came out. It got us all wondering how legitimate the Patriots’ success was. It made me wonder how good their defense, offense, and coaches really were if they had …
Life just hasn’t been the same since Marco stopped adding to the Terrible Jersey Hall of Fame on his old blog, Just Call Me Juice. It was a great, creative idea for a recurring feature, and the epitome of what makes sports blogs so much fun. In …
The fine gentlemen of MLB FanHouse had a good roundtable going in which they asked the question: if you were building a team and had your choice of one pitcher and one hitter to start with, who would they be? There’s obviously no right or wrong …
I dunno, I saw 45 points, a Game 7, and the Cavs making it to the Finals last year. Seemed to me like LeBron carried his squad well last year, and even overachieved with what he had this year. Seems to me like he has stellar numbers and plays well. …
For anyone who’s played team sports, you know that attitude is just as important as talent. If you’re well-prepared to win, focused on winning, and believe you’re going to win, there’s a good chance you’re going to win. …
