More briefs
February 25, 2008
Not much going on in sports right now, so here are a few fringe stories. The Yankees appear to have much competition for bullpen spots. To some, this might suggest that the late innings will be a rocky time in the Bronx this season. Most championship bullpens, however, are comprised of a few established... Read more
Cactus Eclipse
February 23, 2008
Bringing Shaq to the desert was the right move for Suns’ GM Steve Kerr. The Big Cactus has won four championships in the last seven years and could very well add another with Phoenix. Plus, at nearly 37-years-old Shaq is still the most dominate big man in the NBA when he wants to be. And, after... Read more
A few briefs (not boxers)
February 21, 2008
A-Rod caused some commotion yesterday when he claimed that last season he was drug tested 9 or 10 times last season. Normally, a player is tested twice unless they have previously tested positive for a banned substance (stimulant, steroid, etc). Yankees beat reporter Peter Abraham has more on this on... Read more
Ocho - Stinko
February 16, 2008
The Cincinnati Bengals are not willing to trade Chad Johnson. However, I think the Bengals should reconsider. After all, the last thing this team needs before starting the 2008 season is another distraction like the stretch of nine Bengals players arrested in nine months or more of Johnson’s trade-me...

Around the World of Sports
February 7, 2008
I’ve been away from the blog for a couple days because of schoolwork. Media Ethics paper. Don’t wanna talk about it. In the meantime, during what is usually a slow time in the world of sports, between the Super Bowl and Spring Training, a few interesting stories have arisen. Roger Clemens... Read more
Gotham-sized Upset
February 4, 2008
The New England Patriots were 2:42 away from NFL perfection. Then, a remarkable game-winning fourth quarter drive by Eli Manning and the New York Giants shook up Super Bowl history and stalled (at least temporarily) the Patriots dynasty. Super Bowl XLII MVP: Eli Manning (19-24 for 255 yards with 2... Read more
Super Bowl Roundup
February 4, 2008
I’ll start this off by admitting my Giants bias. I am writing this while wearing my Eli Manning authentic home jersey. That said, the Giants showed up to play, especially on defense. The key to the game was the Giants’ defensive line getting through against a believed-to-be-impenetrable Patriots... Read more
