Vick Not Allowed To Play

The NFL has told Michael Vick, the $130 million quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, to stay away from early training camp. He was told to get his legal house in order while the League reviews the federal case against him. On the local news stations around Atlanta, they're firing off Vick's name...

The Rocket Pulls Down 350th Win

Roger Clemens won his 350th game tonight. He is 8th on the all-time wins list. He is 13 behind sixth place Warren Spahn, who, by the way, was the last pitcher to pass the 350 mark in 1963. Joe Torre, Clemens manager, was catching for Spahn that day. Clemens pitched eight innings. It was a high note... Sign in to see full entry.

The Tragedy Of The Male Soap Opera That Is Pro Wrestling

It still isn't clear why Chris Benoit killed his wife, his child, then hung himself. It is known that he e-mailed his friends, telling them to come to his home. His last visit to his doctor showed no abnormal actions on Benoit's point, according to his physician. But a professional wrestler told... Sign in to see full entry.

Spurs Win It All!!! Can You Say "Dynasty'?

I'm a Spurs fan. And I was offended by an ABC promo for the NBA Finals that questioned whether San Antonio was a dynasty by winning only three titles in the past eight years. Well, they can shut the hell up about it now, because the Spurs won Game Four, swept the series, and took home the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ducks Are One Game Away From The Stanley Cup

I watched Game Four of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight on NBC (and I must say that ESPN and Fox do a much better job with their hockey coveage). The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim won 3-2 and get to play Game Five at home. If they win, the 2007 Stanley Cup is theirs to haul around for awhile. It was a good... Sign in to see full entry.

Danica Patrick Indy Ads To Hot For Racing Fans?

Danica Patrick has made several commercials for her sponsor GoDaddy.com that are becoming the talk of the racing world. She co-stars in the commercials with Playboy model Candice Michelle. In fact, one of them was so "racy", the race team blocked it from being aired during the Indy 500. In the ad,... Sign in to see full entry.

Ever Seen An Ambidextrous Pitcher? The NCAA Has Two

Pat Venditte, Jr. pitches for Creighton University. He's ambidextrously gifted. He pitches equally well from the right or left. For people who follow baseball, this can be one hell of an asset. Being able to switch whichever arm to pitch to whichever type of hitter is a definite advantage to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Securing The Border Through NASCAR?

The U.S. Border Patrol has been charged with recruiting 6,000 new agents by 2008. To do this, the agency decided to advertise. And who better to advertise with than NASCAR? So the agency shelled out nearly $1 million ($975,000 to be exact) dollars to sponsor the No. 28 Busch Series car of the... Sign in to see full entry.

In a city known for it's soap opera, the Dallas Cowboys have contributed more than their fair share to the continuing plot. And so the ball spins... T.O. showed up in minicamp and actually practiced with the team in an unscripted shocker to Dallas fans and players alike. Of course, team owner Jerry... Sign in to see full entry.
