Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Disrespected Ryan takes dig at Moss
Back when people were calling Sanchez San-chise Ryan didn't have a whole lot to say. Now that he's Intercept-chez he's whining and crying all the time.

Well you hear this whining in baseball and basketball all the time too. And a couple of years ago when the Patriots were scoring like crazy, teams moaned about it too.
Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Cowher to Bears or Texans?
None of these big names that are out there are shuffling off to Buffalo. With Gruden and Dungy not coming back to coaching, that leaves Cowher, Shanahan and somebody else I can't think of right now with rings and none of them want to deal with a rebuilding project.

Athletes and coaches portray themselves as these uber-macho tough guys...but they sure do seem to feel disrespected an awful lot.

Al Skinner is a really nice guy who deserves better.
Posted Saturday November 14, 2009, About: Safin content with retirement decision
I'm not sure it's a height problem. In the cases of Philipposis and Ivanisevic, they were both pretty one-dimensional players. The serve was really their only weapon so if the first serve was off they would lose. And Philippousis was really injury prone too. Safin's problem was more mental. He had all the talent to be a real rival to Sampras and Agassi but he just didn't have the psyche to hang with them.

Usually I hate when players speak out against their coaches like this...but in this case it is more than warranted.
Posted Sunday November 08, 2009, About: What's wrong with Sosa's face?
Maybe he needed to bring his translator to his doctors appointments.
Posted Sunday November 08, 2009, About: What's wrong with Sosa's face?
Well we always knew he was a clown..now he's starting to look like one. Maybe he inherited Michael Jackson's skin-lightening products?
Posted Thursday November 05, 2009, About: Japanese team eyes Twins free agents
Why?
Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Report: Viking FB hurt in locker-room horseplay
This would be a real story if the result was AP being the one who was hurt and had to miss the game. But now they get the bye week, plenty of time for Tahi to get back on the field.
Posted Sunday November 01, 2009, About: Marbury clashes with Knicks security
Well I've sat in the wrong seat at variosu events as I'm sure many of have (whether it's to get a better seat or by accident) and when asked to move, most of us would just move, not storm off in a huff. So while this isn't in Marbury's Top 10 Bizarre Moves, it is pretty odd.
Posted Wednesday October 28, 2009, About: Gophers rethinking Brewster extension
I really thought the Gophers would be better given the pretty high marks Brewster got for his recruiting. And now with Decker out, looks like no bowl game this year.
Posted Monday October 26, 2009, About: Cardinals handle McGwire hiring with care
The Cards hired a guy who hit .263 and had only 30 more hits than strikeouts for his entire career to be their hitting coach. Sounds like a great plan.
Posted Sunday October 25, 2009, About: Safina to reclaim No. 1 ranking
The rankings are meaningless other than as a basis for seedings. Tennis history will remember that Serena won all those majors and she won them being seeded #1, #7 and even unseeded. There seems to be this unwarranted hatred by some towards Safina. The rankings aren't her fault. And there are several players who didn't win majors until late in their careers-Davenport, Capriati, Goran Ivanisovic...so it's not fair, and may not be wise, to write Safina off just yet.
Posted Friday October 23, 2009, About: Fuentes wanted to pitch to A-Rod
Yeah I get that they figured they'd gain some speed with Guzman...but like you said, where is the proof of that? Arod stole 14 of 16 bases, Guzman 4 of 5 so ARod isn't exactly slow. Not sure it's worth it because if the Yanks had tied or taken the lead (which they almost did) they'd have to play without him and that weakens the whole lineup. And as you pointed out they pull ARod but keep Swisher in? Really dumb.
Posted Friday October 23, 2009, About: Fuentes wanted to pitch to A-Rod
Why would Girardi put in a pinch runner for ARod after he'd been walked? If they had tied the score or taken the lead, the Yanks would've had to have finished the game without their best bat are arguably their best glove.
Posted Friday October 23, 2009, About: Ex-GM's wife rips Titans, Fisher
So sports radio in Tennessee (I assume) is having the wives of fired GMs as their guests? Wow.
Posted Friday October 23, 2009, About: Nets may move to Newark
Newark has improved alot. It certainly deserved the reputation it had for a long time. But with the Prudential Center (home to the NJ Devils) in downtown Newark, the area has really flourished. And it's easily accesible via mass transit so more people could easily get to the games. The biggest problem is the "product" they'll be putting on the court...they're easily one of the 5 worst teams in the league this year and possibly THE worst. You could have this current team play their games in the middle of Times Square and people wouldn't want to go.
Posted Thursday October 22, 2009, About: Mets owner entangled in Madoff money
Weren't we told, since this Madoff scam broke, that the Mets had LOST a boatload of money and how it was going to limit their ability to buy free agents? Now we find out that not only did they not lose money but they made a profit?
Posted Wednesday October 21, 2009, About: Report: Vikings, Childress talking extension
Why not just wait to see how the season plays out before commiting more money to Childress? 6-0 is nice but the last time they started 6-0 the Vikes missed the playoffs. Granyed Childress wasn't the coach then, but it just proves that old old adage "it's not where you start it's where you finish".
