Brown Bag it, Baby
I’m all for guys looking for mental edges when it comes to competing on the field. If a player thinks he’s going to win because he has one sock on inside-out, or because he watched his favorite movie the night before, or because he ate …
It wasn’t long ago that Manny dropped one of the best lines by an athlete in recent memory. In October of last year, while Manny was crushing NL pitching, my stock portfolio was riding high, and gas was $4 a gallon, Manny proclaimed, “I …
Alright, so I’ve already done my share of ripping Joe Torre for co-authoring his “don’t call it a tell-all” tell-all book. I reserved some judgment because I hadn’t yet read it, but still considered the entire gesture to …
If there’s one thing that’s near and dear to my heart, it’s definitely mascot folly. We haven’t had a ton of it lately unfortunately, leaving me to watch the Oregon Duck/Houston Cougar fight to get my fix. But on Wednesday …
One of the major, unavoidable topics of the week, has been whether or not Kurt Warner is a Hall of Famer. In fact, the pregame talk leading up to the NFC Championship game centered on how much bearing it had on the impending legacy of both Warner and …
With the economy going south and the big three automakers in Detroit possibly going under, it’s great to know that one of our true Patriots is doing all he can to help his country. Oops! Randy Moss Motorsports announced Wednesday that it will …
Ed Werder has been taking a lot of heat for his story during the season in which he said T.O. was jealous of Jason Witten’s relationship with Tony Romo on and off the field. The story was based on an “anonymous source” that Werder …
Every year, one of the questions people want to know the most as they’re preparing to watch the Super Bowl is what time does it start. The networks always give you an earlier time to try and get you to tune into the pre-game show where …
Doug Williams was in Tampa on Tuesday for Super Bowl week. Williams was the MVP of Super Bowl 22 with the Redskins and also was the first Black quarterback to play in the Super Bowl. Additionally, Williams was a successful coach at Grambling State …
I think I was really just eager to work “Shaqovich” into a post more than anything else. For all of those who haven’t yet heard, Shaq gave himself another nickname, the most recent being Shaqovich. The name started when The Big …
Dallas, this is your backup tight end, Martellus Bennett … (warning, language NSFW) Thanks, sorta, to PFT for the video. The last time we saw a player rapping on YouTube, it got freshman Josh Jarboe kicked off Oklahoma. I’m not so sure …
Tom Verducci wants to make it clear that the book he has co-authored with Joe Torre is a third person narrative, not a tell-all by Torre. Fine. Verducci says you need to read the book to understand the context of the quotes that have been revealed. …
The original title in working was, “Beat a School 100-0 and You Will Be Fired.” Only problem was that’s not entirely representative of the truth. Micah Grimes has been fired by the Covenant School in Dallas in the wake of his …
What is it with Houston and their aggression toward the Pac-10? First it was the Cougar mascot getting into it with the Oregon Duck mascot. Now it’s Aubrey Coleman stomping on Chase Budinger’s face in the game between Houston and Arizona …
I know there were probably two fights higher on your agenda Saturday night — Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski, and Shane Mosley vs. Antonio Margarito. Yes, those were pretty significant battles in the sports world. But I’d like to …
I’m guessing this isn’t necessarily at the forefront of Laker fans’ minds considering the team went to the finals last year and appear poised for another run this year. Still, despite the strong start and the focus on the matter at …
