So I hear that today ESPN will hold a "town hall meeting" to discuss race in America and how it pertains to today's black athlete. Race is and will always be a hot topic, especially with events like this that in reality won't solve anything but will try to stimulate...

So if you recall, in my last post I mentioned how so many players who played for Da Bears coach, Mike Ditka, were becoming head coaches in the NFL. The response, in a word, was embarrassing. For NY Giant fans. I got texts, phone calls, e-mails, all going on and...

In the NFL coaches are judged as much by who was on their staff as how much they won. When you go through all the great coaches, they all have their "tree" of assistants who went on to become great coaches, thus cementing that they must have been doing something...

First off, it's now the annual rite of winter for the "Should Pete Rose be allowed in the Hall of Fame" discussion. And, as is the norm, my answer is no. Hell no. And please, please, please let me get what I want, to quote another big baseball fan Morrisey,...

My first question of the day is simple; how did Marvin Lewis get a contract extension from the Cincinnati Bengals while the Oakland Raiders fired their coach Tom Cable? Seems only one of them had his team going in the right direction, and it wasn't the guy who got the...

Ok, so now we're to believe that two masseurs from Brett Favre's one season with the NY Jets two years ago deserve reparations due to his behavior. Really? He was a rude jackwagon two friggin' years ago and now, NOW, these fine ladies have decided to come forward? While I...

Is it a little too early to look back on 2011? Me thinks not. This is the first year since I was young that Brett Favre hasn't played a football game, and won't. Da Bears are in the playoffs, which is nice to see. And the Patriots once again appear...

So which side do you weigh in on in the Michael Vick saga? Apparently our President feels this is an important enough topic that he needs to let it be known; he's down with Vick. And so a certain Tucker Carlson has now said that he is not. In fact...

Alright, I'm going to go down the path of least resistance and mention Rex-gate. So the guy likes his gals hoofs, big deal. Don't tell me that you don't have a kink that you wouldn't want your friends to know about, let alone the entire free world. (and even parts...

All hail the UCONN's women's basketball team for now being the greatest team in the history of D-1 sports. Yeah, and Milli Vanilli were two of the best vocalists in all of music. Now I don't want to take anything away from these young ladies achievement, but can we pump...

Rather than do a "Night Before Christmas" poem about how Da Bears smacked down Brett Favre in their last game against him I think I'll just gloat. So to all those out there who have doubted all season long I say; hmm, (that's me clearing my throat) "Told ya!!!!! You...

Yeah, Donovan McNabb, QB of the Washington Redskins, has played about as bad as the McRib sandwich tastes, but realistically what else are they gonna do? Well in a move that's absolutely not right out of one of the best cheesy football flicks, "The Replacements", Coach Shanahan is making a...

So now Mark Cuban is going to fix college football. After being shut out of the MLB game, regardless of the fact that he was the highest bid on the Texas Rangers, my man is thinking about buying college football. Here's a guy who see's a problem, i.e. the BCS,...

See what I did there? I used the names of the two major sports stories in the title of my post. Geez am I some kind of genius or what? The biggest story to me is how Cliff Lee is leaving some $30 odd million on the table. And I...

Ok, so the Giants vs. Vikings game has been rescheduled for tonite. There will be more people reading this blog than attending the game, but that's fine. What has me really irked is a statement Brett Favre made on Sunday about his ailing, well, body. He said that if the...
