He Ain't His Brother

The Miami Dolphins cut a few more players from their roster, including the brother of celebrated talent Michael Vick. Marcus Vick was given his walking papers. If you know anything about Marcus Vick, you know he's nowhere near the talent, nor does he have half the class of his brother. While at... Sign in to see full entry.

How 'Bout The 'Eers? And How 'Bout Them Vols?

Steve Slaton picked up where he left off against Georgia back in January, leading No. 5 West Virginia to a 42-10 victory over intra-state rival Marshall. Slaton scored two touchdowns and ran for 203 yards (he ran for 204 against Georgia in the 2006 Nokia Sugar Bowl). Erik Ainge led No. 23 Tennessee... Sign in to see full entry.

The Games Of Autumn

I love this time of year. Not only for the cooling off from summer, the multi-hued panorama of foliage, or those great holidays Halloween and Thanksgiving (my favorites), but because it is the beginning of football season. Some high schools and a few college games have already been played, but the... Sign in to see full entry.

T.O. Still An F.O., One Grandstanding S.O... B.

He did it in San Francisco. He did it in Philadelphia. He's doing it in Dallas. Why Jerry Jones would thinke that Terrell Owens would be any differenet wearing Dallas' colors is beyond me. Owens still believes he's better than anybody (everybody) else, doesn't have to practice with the team (any... Sign in to see full entry.

Today Was A Good Day For Nolan Ryan

Back in 1989, Nolan Ryan, arguably one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, struck out Rickey Henderson, no doubt one of the age's best hitters and a base-stealing threat, to record strike out number 5000, becoming the first pitcher (and only, so far) in baseball history to reach that...

Another Performance Enhancement Drug Scandal

Marian Jones, 5-time Olympic gold medalist and arguably the fastest woman in the world, has tested positive for performance enhancement drugs. Of course, she says she's never taken any type of performance enhancer in her life. Personally, I hope she's telling the truth. I'm getting sick and tired of... Sign in to see full entry.

Is It Just Me, Or Has The World Lost Interest In Barry Bonds?

I recall that, a few years ago, the media couldn't get enough of Barry Bonds and his constant hammering of home runs. If it wasn't his hitting that made the news, it was his puerile and base behavior off the field. But lately... well, not so much. Is it because no one wants to see him break the...

The Only Minister Of Defense Worth Noting

Given the poor performance of our Defense Secretary and the worthlessness of Iraq's Minister of Defense, it is my pleasure to see that there was one Minister of Defense who stood up, stood out, and stood for something -- with unqualified and unquestionable success. That Minister of Defense was... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, It's Official -- Landis Took Designer Drug

Need I say more on this? I am disgusted, but the findings explain how Landis made that tremendous comeback during the mountain portion of the Tour. For more on this, refer to the previous post or go to the New York Times article. Sign in to see full entry.

How Stupid Are These Guys Anyway?

Floyd Landis won the Tour de France Sunday. Or did he? After the mandatory testing for enhancing substances usage, Landis scored a positive and he has been suspended from the Phonak Team pending further investigation. That investigation includes a backup sample that, if it returns a positive result,... Sign in to see full entry.
