Los Angeles Dodgers and Frank McCourt

Normally I am not a fan of Baseball. Not that I don't enjoy it but I don't really follow it like I do Football. One story in Baseball I have been following is drama surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers. The drama all started when Frank and Jamie McCourt announced they would be getting divorced....

Big Weekend in Sports

Saints handed their first loss and early morning picks

I am here in the frozen tundra where the beer is cold and the ground is colder. I have been here for 2 weeks and will be here for another 2 weeks. Yes one whole month of watching bad local sports newscasters (they think they are funny but are really nerds), and enjoying the cold, snowy weather. Last... Sign in to see full entry.

Brett Farve returns to Lambeau today

Today Brett Farve returns to Lambeau field for the first time since signing with the Minnesota Vikings. It should be an interesting game, not only because Minnesota and Green Bay are big rivals, but because Brett will be booed the minute he steps onto the field. He made a lot of enemies in Wisconsin...
