One moment he was humming along, and the next...

Posted Monday September 22, 2008, About: Cassel or Quinn could be Vikings' next QB

Way to render this column obsolete, Matty.

Posted Sunday September 14, 2008, About: Red Sox covet Rangers catcher

Salty for Buchholz? I might do it. I'm not convinced Buchholz has the head for the majors - you can see it in his face when things go wrong. Pitching a no-hitter in his second major league start was probably the worst thing that could happen to him.
Not all these gold-plated prospects make it. Look at Craig Hansen - Pittsburgh sent him back tio the minors.

Posted Sunday August 24, 2008, About: Did Manny stiff clubhouse tips?

Ah, the demonization of Manny by the Boston media continues. They just won't let it go.

The Boston Herald hint-hint-hints that the aforementioned Ms. Watney may not be just reporting a story here. Wonder if she'll show face on NESN tomorrow night.

Posted Wednesday August 13, 2008, About: Why Red Sox traded for Byrd

Is it just me, or was pitching a no-hitter in his second big league the worst thing that could've happened to Buchholz? He looks scared bleepless out there. The Penthouse Pet girlfriend, the Sox' decision to send him to Arizona instead of having him travel with the team in the World Series...you wonder if there are maturity issues here.

Posted Thursday June 05, 2008, About: Arlovski leaving UFC for Trump

I'd love to see what happens the first time Trump tells one of these guys "You're fired."
Hopefully, they leave the hair intact.

Posted Thursday June 05, 2008, About: Tiger: Nobody watches hockey

There was some excitement on NBC last night while Tiger was home playing with his putter.

Is Zaza Pachulia the Spanish phrase for "punk"?

Posted Wednesday April 30, 2008, About: Source: Clemens flew women on jet

So THAT's why they call him the Rocket.

Posted Wednesday April 30, 2008, About: Did Pierce flash gang sign?

Stern's that sure it's a gang signal, eh?
So he's the only white sixtyish Jewish guy who takes a daily stroll through the Bed-Stuy.

Posted Saturday April 19, 2008, About: Why Rays broke bank for Longoria

Imagine if they gave Rocco Baldelli this deal?

Posted Saturday April 19, 2008, About: Steelers owner endorses Obama

God forbid somebody in the sports world NOT toe the old harccore conservative line.
Laugh at the whiners, Mr. Rooney.

Posted Saturday April 19, 2008, About: Brodeur won't shake Avery's hand

I'd rather have seen Brodeur give Avery the stinkpalm (re: Jason Lee in "Mallrats").

Posted Tuesday April 08, 2008, About: Seton Hall denies Gonzalez rumors

If the Hall is talking about turfing Gonzalez after only two years, there;s got to be more to the story than just his won-lost record.
Maybe that explains why the Friars haven't made a hire yet. Gonzalez was a very popular assistant here, and he'd be reunited with Jeff xavier.

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side...

If Tupac lived long enough to meet 50 Cent...

Posted Friday March 21, 2008, About: Update on Trickle's health

Keith Olbermann sends his best wishes.

Posted Friday March 21, 2008, About: Gay fans criticize Rangers

It's New York. It's the jock mentality. The chants are coming from guys who can't get l..d.

Posted Friday February 22, 2008, About: Rumor: Bruins pursuing Hossa trade

No Kessel (with Bergeron's future uncertain). No Lucic. No Rask.
Providence is having a tremendous year, though. There's some talent down there that can be packaged along with Murray. Much as I hate to part with Axelsson, he has become injury-prone over the years. Throw a defenseman in there, and I'll do it.

Posted Friday February 22, 2008, About: Providence coach in jeopardy

Hova, you might want to give Roberts one more year with that freshman class he's got and see if he gets more out of it than Welsh. I suspect he might.
