Good Riddance To Allen Iverson!

So “The Answer” is retiring and I have yet to figure out what the question was. 
Maybe it was “what self-serving player is going out exactly as he deserves, unwanted?”  Or “What supremely talented player never won anything in the NBA?”
Then there’s “what knucklehead couldn’t be bothered to see that actually practicing helps the whole team [...]

Coaching Conspirarcy! Dick Jauron Fired On Same Day NFL Coaching Veteran Frees Himself Up For Duty! (Let’s Draft Jerry!)

The Buffalo Bills are 3-6 and their ancient and so rightfully impatient owner can’t take it anymore.  Today, Dick Jauron got the axe in Buffalo.  Outside of criticizing an in season move, I don’t see how you can debate this one.  Three straight years of mediocrity and a disappointing season in what was supposed to [...]

When It Comes To The Playoffs, Manny Is All Wet!

I just heard on ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike In The Morning that while the Dodgers were blowing game four against Philly, Manny Ramirez was busy contributing to the effort by taking a warm shower.  Manny had been removed early in the game and as is his custom when he’s pulled from games early, he headed [...]

Is This The Last Great Season For Derek Jeter?

Enjoy it now, Yankee fans.  This will be Derek Jeter’s last great season.
Growing up a non-Yankee fan in the New York area, nothing has grated at me more over the years than the intensity of the man crush that typical Yankee fans have on Derek Jeter.  It reminds me of those old SNL skits about [...]

Brett Favre & The Economy Have One Thing In Common!

Brett Favre, Minnesota’s new starting quarterback and the United States economy have one thing in common.  They’re both not worth following on a day by day basis.
Will Brett play another year?  Will it be for Minnesota?  Will he stay retired?  Who knows, until it happens.
The same is true with the economy.  Each morning on the [...]

Jamie Moyer Is Wrong To Feel Tricked!

It’s not often that a division leading baseball team sends its winningest pitcher to the bullpen.  Then again, it’s rare that a staff “ace” has an ERA approaching six.
Jamie Moyer, the “ace” in question is 46 years old, leads the Phils with 10 wins and has one of the worst ERAs among baseball’s starting pitchers.  [...]

Tonight, My DVR Killed The Red Sox!

Yes, I’m a Red Sox fan.  Yes, getting swept in the Bronx this past weekend was pretty hard to take, but my DVR made it even worse tonight.
Earlier this evening, I was watching a show called “Baseball Seasons” on one of the many sports channels my TV package includes.  My seven year old son, who [...]

Hank Aaron, The True Home Run King, Is Dead Wrong About Steroids!

Read somewhere online that Hank Aaron wants the 2003 list of steroid abusers made public.  I greatly respect Mr. Aaron.  I have taught my kids that he’s the true home run king, which of course, he is.
Despite all of this Hank Aaron could not be more wrong on this point.  Players only submitted to the [...]

Mets And Omar Minaya Give Clinic On How Not To Fire Someone! (Just Two Easy Steps!)

Mets’ GM Omar Minaya let his Veep of Player Personnel Tony Bernazard go today and he did it poorly.  It’s not so much how he broke the actual news to Bernazard, who was let go after among other things recently challenging the Mets’ Double-A players to a fight. 
Bernazard even went so far as to take [...]
