So what do you write about on the day that there is no professional sports being played? One of the two days a year that is true — except the other one (Monday) had the Home Run Derby so you have a subject right there. Well there are a few things that can be talked [...]
Having a corner on the summer sports market might be the biggest blessing that major league baseball has. Thanks to the fact there are no other sports on the day of their all-star game (except tennis but I mean, come on) I had a rather slow night and got to enjoy the thrilling midsummer classic [...]
It’s all-star weekend in baseball, only it takes place on a Monday and Tuesday night. But that’s pretty much a weekend, right? I mean it is two days off for those guys in a row and you’ll never see that during the regular season, unlike in every other team sport.
Wow, I knew Josh Hamilton could [...]
Well, the Tampa Bay Lightning might have made an Isiah Thomas-like blunder, but you can’t really blame them seeing how their owners just bought the team. Was signing Vincent Lecavalier to an 11-year contract extension a good idea? Sure, if you think he’s still going to be good when he’s 40. Vinny, who is 28 [...]
Some call it a contract, others call it slavery. Well at least that’s what FIFA president Sepp Blatter called it. Comparing the way that soccer players — with contracts that they have agreed to — are bought and sold on the transfer market to “modern slavery” might be the dumbest and most uninformed thing I’ve [...]
After that ridiculous embargo on signing free agents and making roster moves that the NBA demands, the first true day of free agency kicked off with a bang.

… It’s a god-damned arms race.
Firstly, I apologize profusely for quoting Fallout Boy. But after a busy weekend of trading, that’s that the NL central is looking like.
Just a day after the resurgent Milwaukee Brewers beefed up the front end of their rotation, literally and figuratively, by landing C.C. Sabathia for one of their numerous [...]
Talk about a no-win situation. Is there any possible way that everyone involved in the latest Brett Favre un-retirement can come out not smelling like shit? The scenarios all have a loser and none of them have a real winner. What do i think they should do? Well my answer’s one that either I haven’t [...]
What’s that? An all-star roster was announced? Ahh, that’s what the griping is all about! Yes, major league baseball has announced who will get to participate in the mid-summer classic and of course, there were snubs. But, for the first time in years, every club has actually gotten a player onto their respective all-star roster [...]
North America, say goodbye to Jaromir Jagr. One of (if not) the most successful European players to ever lace up his skates and play in the NHL is headed to Russia. Jagr has reportedly agreed to a deal with Avangard Omsk, the team he played for during the 2004-05 lockout but there’s something even bigger [...]
