These Professional Leagues Are Just Too Greedy

Our four major sports leagues, MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL apparently never are happy with their revenue stream. There is no such thing as too much. I have to disagree with that position. When the NHL announced that the Detroit Redwings and St Louis Blues would open next season in, not Detroit, not St... Sign in to see full entry.

30 Teams Have Legit Chance At NCAA Title…But

If you want to go by Sagarin’s ratings, a system based on statistics and strength of schedule, there are no less than thirtyteams that have a real legitimate chance to win the title game on the first Monday night in April.

Selig Appears to Be Using Some Rare Common Sense

Bud Selig would like people to think that he actually has a functioning brain, and is capable of using it. That's right. If you want the real story, you go right to the horse's mouth, right? In Bud's case, I think we get the real scoop by talking to the other end of the horse. Literally hours after... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS BUD SELIG DOING NOW??

The same genius that suspended a World Series game that never should have started is at it again. It is bad enough that baseball has handled the steroid problem poorly to this point. It is bad enough that baseball has made an example of J.C. Romero for a non-infraction compared to some of the... Sign in to see full entry.
