Bonds Tests Positive To Drug Use -- Why Is This News?

So the man tested positive for amphetamine use. He also lied about using steroids. It is obvious that Barry Bonds uses drugs. So... again... why is the positive testing news? Maybe because he may not get that huge $16 million/one-year contract because of it? Good. Then Hank Aaron's record will... Sign in to see full entry.

Ohio State Goes Down Hard; Florida Gators National Champions

Well, it's over. And oddsmakers all over the country are paying out big time. The much underestimated Florida Gators won the game handily, 41-14. So what happened to that vaunted Ohio State offense? It was nearly shut completely down by the Florida defense. Sacking Heisman trophy winner Troy Smith... Sign in to see full entry.

Glenn and Romo Fumble Dallas' Win Away

Well, Dallas is going back to Dallas. Seattle will continue on. They beat Dallas, 21-20. And it shouldn't have been so, but Dallas just couldn't hold on to the ball in the 4th Quarter. With a 20-13 lead, Dallas had the ball inside their own five, when Romo passes to Glenn down the goalline. Glenn... Sign in to see full entry.

West Virginia Boy To Coach Crimson Tide

Nick Saban has agreed to coach at Alabama, a non-eniable position in that it entails attempting to fill the shoes of the late and great Paul "Bear" Bryant, something that has yet to be done and may never be done. Saban is a good coach, but in a sport that has "parity" written all over it and a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mounties Come Back From 18-Point Deficit To Win Gator Bowl!!!

It looked like all was lost. Georgia Tech was picking away at the vaunted West Virginia defense via the Bennett-Johnson pass connection. West Virginia's 4th place Heisman candidate, Steve Slaton, was sidelined. With a halftime lead of 11 points, Georgia Tech gambled on the opening kickoff of the... Sign in to see full entry.

It Took Him Only 880 Games To Do It

Bobby Knight surpassed Dean Smith as college basketball's winningest coach today as Texas Tech beat New Mexico, 70-68. In a career that has spanned 41 years as a coach, Knights record is amazing: 880 wins, 354 losses. He spent 29 years as head coach at Indiana, where he won most of those games and...

A Good Weekend For New York Teams

The Giants got into the playoffs on the back of Tiki Barber's 234 rushing yards last night against the Redskins. The Jets made it in by destroying the hapless Raiders. So New York is well represented for the playoffs, even if the teams are both wildcards. However, a wildcard has never won the Super... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Watched Livestream Hockey On Comcast...

And loved it! I watched the Dallas Stars overpower the Colorado Avalance 5-4. This is the second game I've watched via livestream. I enjoy it immensely. Not only can I watch the game, but I can read and write and surf while the game plays on. Don't you just love modern technology? Sign in to see full entry.

Damn Those Cowboys!

What the hell is wrong with the Cowboys! I turn my back for a couple minutes and they get crushed by the Eagles. The only good thing about this terrible loss was that I didn't get to see it. Missed the entire game. A Christmas mercy gift, if you will. It seems that Jeff Garcia and company trounced... Sign in to see full entry.

Favre's Finale

Was it it Favre's last game at Lambeau Field? By most accounts, it's a wrap. At least it ended with a win, even though it wasn't a particularly flattering game for Favre. The Packers beat Minnesota last night, 9-7. They did it with three field goals and the seven points Minnesota put on the board... Sign in to see full entry.
