Tim Donaghy may be going away 15 months for his game fixing, gambling and other indescretions but that hasn’t stopped the people running Houston from making a big bet. The bet is on Ron Artest and the gamble is can he not tear apart the Rockets from the locker-room out? It’s even money that he’ll [...]
Well that sweepstakes didn’t last long. Hardly any time had passed from the moment the Braves announced that their slugging first baseman/pending free agent after 2008, Mark Teixeira, was on the trading block before they sent him packing. In fact, they barely even waited for teams to beef up their offers and sent him to [...]
Well, it’s that time of year… With NFL training camps now open and some players either holding out or showing up disgruntled or even being told to stay home, you get to see just how happy some guys are where they’re playing.
Pacman Jones may not actually be reinstated yet, but he’s looking pretty good for [...]
A lot of things happened in the sporting world this weekend while we, the public were relaxing in July weather. Some were interesting, some weren’t so much and at least one was potentially embarrassing and idiotic. Let’s start with that last one…
The NBA has filed copyrighting documents to register six potential names for the new [...]
I don’t know how it happened, but Roger Federer, who is arguably one of the best tennis players ever, is on a losing streak. Two games in a row in fact. Not shocked at this horrific slump? Well you should be. The key thing to remember here is that tennis is not like any other [...]
What does the recession in the U.S. do to sports? More than you’d think. If you haven’t noticed, more and more professional athletes — mainly hockey and basketball players — are heading overseas to ply their trade. And why wouldn’t they? It may not be the big name guys leaving their North American squads — [...]
I don’t know what logic the Astros were using by dealing for Randy Wolf who was supposed to be a lock to go to, and help out, a contender. Yes, a contender, not Houston who are a dozen games back (when I’m writing this). But maybe they’re smarter than we think: They could just be [...]
Sure, on the field, Jeremy Shockey may now be a Saint, but we all know he’s just a pompous buffoon who made the most of a few big games, a fiery, patriotic image and a big mouth. How well will he fit in New Orleans, well, that remains to be seen.
The biggest problem with New [...]
Well the MLB trade deadline is coming up quite quickly — only 10 days left to land that final piece of the puzzle guys! — but the NFL stole the trading show of the weekend when the Dolphins (finally) sent away their franchise player for two picks. After fighting with management over off-season training (Dancing [...]
Well, since Phil Mickelson’s awful performance, the Shark’s surprising play and the poor conditions at Royal Birkdale won’t actually interest me until, well, Sunday’s final round, how about some bold predictions about baseball’s “second half?”
Oh come on, like you could say no to me.
Despite what people are thinking and managers are saying, the Rays cannot [...]
