Brown Bag it, Baby
One of the topics I hit on for my show Friday overnight was that the Nuggets and Magic could be standing in the way of the much-hyped Lakers/Cavs showdown in the NBA Finals. With the Lakers taking Game 3 in Denver, it appears as if they have control …
The South Florida Sun Sentinel posted this weekend about Dolphins left tackle Jake Long and his contract. Apparently the writer was cruising through the NFLPA and saw that Long’s going to be making some serious coin in the upcoming seasons. The …
Honestly, this is getting ridiculous. So Jeremy Shockey goes partying in Las Vegas, gets passed out drunk, and now it becomes a big story? The way TMZ told it it became absurd. They described the story as Shockey being found “unconscious” …
The Indy 500 wasn’t a good race for Vitor Meira this year. The Brazilian racer finished second last year at the Brickyard but he would have been lucky to cross the finish line this time around. With 28 laps to go, Rafael Matos bumped into Meira …
The moment Frankie Rodriguez signed with the Mets I knew things wouldn’t end well. I’ll admit they have started out well on the field considering K-Rod has gone 12/12 in save chances, tying for the major league lead. Well if it …
The Mets and Red Sox met on the first night of interleague play in MLB on Friday with Johan Santana squaring off against Daisuke Matsuzaka. Johan went seven innings giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits, picking up his sixth win of the …
I don’t know what the deal is with Shaq or what’s crawled up his behind lately, but for some reason he has a desire to play another three seasons in the Association. Check out the crazy comments the Big Fella made on Sporting News Radio …
Pretty much only Jerry Jones and a few people inside the Cowboys inner-circle know the real reason why Terrell Owens was released this offseason. Everyone else has a guess at it — albeit a good one — but we don’t know the real …
So you were looking for a signature LeBron James moment? For him to win a game with an outside shot? Reason to believe the NBA isn’t as scripted as it seems? Look no further: I’m still in shock. The timeout rules in the NBA are bullcrap …
Who can really fault Kobe here? The guy was just focused on playing some good defense and stopping the player who got the ball. I guess he was too focused and forgot about the guy inbounding the ball. Chauncey Billups made a play just before halftime …
There are plenty of guys who turn out to be busts in the NFL, though many of them aren’t on the same scale as Ryan Leaf. That’s probably why Leaf’s problems post-playing days seem to be so intriguing. Done with his job at West Texas …
It seems like wherever Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going and whatever he’s doing the guy is always putting on a show. The man who claims he’s back to “steal more money” because he can, because he’s “Money …
It’s only been about seven weeks of the season, but the attendance figures are already down for MLB this year. The most glaring and immediate cause would be the recession that has left many people jobless and/or fearful of spending. More …
With the Steelers making their appearance in D.C. to be honored for winning the Super Bowl, James Harrison was missing. President Obama I’m sure was told about his comments but did not address it. Instead, he limited the talk to those in …
Usually I take a pretty hard-line stance when it comes to disciplining athletes for off-field issues, especially when it’s something that involves hurting other people such as driving drunk or using steroids. Michael Vick’s case is pretty …
The last time we checked in with Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib he was brawling with Cory Boyd at the rookie symposium. A year later, we see that not much has changed; Boyd is no longer on an NFL team and Talib is still fighting with teammates. …
