I bet Roger Clemens was involved somehow
Posted Thursday May 01, 2008, About: Clemens linked to Daly's ex-wife
It's obvious what Roger must do next: run for Governor of New York. He'd be a perfect fit for the job.

The Big XII might be falling apart, so Missouri is a natural pick for the Big 10 as it fulfills the Big 10's desire to add a new state to the mix,

"They played Texas the first game after Vince Young in McCoy's first game ever"

They also played Texas the previous season when Vince Young was still QBing and on their way to a national title. So what was your point?
Posted Tuesday April 29, 2008, About: McCready confirms Rocket affair
If McCready isn't lying, then she didn't have sex with Roger until she turned 18 (according to her Wiki bio, she was 18 when she moved to Nashville), so statutory is out. Still creepy though, that he was hanging around her since she was 15 ... probably waiting until she 18.

ravens: OSU played Washington as their 'major' non-conference opponent last season. They played Texas previously, and have USC this and next year, with Miami, Georgia, and Oklahoma in the future. Notre Dame plays the same schools year in and year out.

LSUDYNASTY: Even if the Big 10 adds a 12th team, they probably won't schedule a conference championship game.
Posted Wednesday April 23, 2008, About: Bibby rips Celtics fair-weather fans
"Everyone has fairweather fans, even in green Bay"

Nope, not there. I'd also reckon Montreal Canadiens fans aren't fairweather.

"The Braves always draw well, and are embraced by the city, so don't compare the two."

Except the Braves can never sell out a playoff game in Atlanta unless it's the World Series. So there IS a comparison there.

"Let them have the Lions, Millen, and Ford. Detroit can start an expansion team

Umman"

How would you tell the difference?
Posted Thursday April 17, 2008, About: Latest NFL stadium plan for LA
Vikings or Cardinals to Los Angeles is probably the most realistic, with the Saints third in the list. Of course, maybe David Stern can get involved and force the Seahawks to move.

If Vikes move to the Left Coast, I wonder if they'll swap the Rams and Vikings in their respective divisions.
Posted Wednesday January 02, 2008, About: Is Peterson's injured knee worse?
Fortunately for AP, he plays for the Vikings so he'll have all of January off to recover for the next season.
Posted Thursday December 20, 2007, About: Hornets rethinking New Orleans?
"It's a possibility considering that the Charlotte franchise is named "Bobcats" and I don't see the connection there..."

1) Bobcats are native to North Carolina
2) Synergy with Panthers
3) Synergy with 'Bob' Johnson

The original team was called the Hornets because of the "Hornet's Nest" that the Carolina backcountry became during the American Revolution. So by that definition, the New Orleans Hornets is as inappropriate as Utah Jazz or Los Angeles Lakers.
Posted Thursday December 20, 2007, About: Hornets rethinking New Orleans?
If it hadn't been for Katrina, the Hornets would've moved already. George Shinn is the worse owner in the league, and the owners should've forced Shinn to sell the Hornets rather than let him move. They knew this was coming five years ago, yet I'm sure they'll act surprised.

Dear New Orleans Hornets Fans:

Welcome to the club. We tried to warn you, but no one listened.

Sincerely,
Charlotte Hornets Fans

Posted Tuesday November 20, 2007, About: NFL investigating Packers bonuses
Cousin Kyle: Except the player who hit AP was a D-Back, not a D-Line! Why would Harris want to give away money by guaranteeing a result.

Oh, and Pats fans: You guys sure are funny.
Posted Tuesday November 20, 2007, About: NFL investigating Packers bonuses
PS: In case you're wondering how much of a non-story this is, ES "we overblow everything now" PN has already dropped the story from their NFL page to the More News section.
Posted Tuesday November 20, 2007, About: NFL investigating Packers bonuses
" If the Vikings or any other team would have offered incentives to there lineman to limit Brett Favre to passing yards or worse taking him out of the game"

No one offered to take AP out of the game, so you can't compare the two. And I guarantee the Giants would've used their bonus pool (see previous link I posted) against Favre.

I guarantee all the whiners have AP on their fantasy teams.

Besides, the Packers know how to Bounty. Am I the only one who remembers the 80s, and the Jim McMahon sack? This was no bounty.
Posted Tuesday November 20, 2007, About: NFL investigating Packers bonuses
I wonder how come the league isn't investigating the Giants?

Posted Monday October 22, 2007, About: Bobcats lose another star for season
Yeah, if anyone was going to get injured on this team and have the least impact, it was Morrison.
Posted Saturday September 22, 2007, About: Favre discusses '08 return
"Please, Brett, just sign a 5 year extension so we don't have to go through this EVERY year? It just gives the media another backstory to run into the ground, while turning you into a CLASH song! You have still have the arm, the skills, and the desire, just keep playing until you just can't anymore!"

Why would Brett sign an extension, he's already signed through 2010 (11?). Heck, all of his signing bonuses are off the cap, he only hits the cap with his salary. He's not Clemens, waiting until the season starts before making a decision on whether to play and who to play it with. Only one offseason has Favre waited past the start of Free Agency to announce his decision to return; and considering that was after the 4-12 debacle I don't blame him.

And Favre doesn't generate this story; the media does. They've been asking him about retirement since 2001.
