I'm sure they're going for a QB in next draft. Look what Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez are doing...

Posted Saturday October 24, 2009, About: American wants Euro salary cap

We do need some policy where you have a spending limit. When you see how much money big teams spend every year while having a lot of debt and where smaller teams have a harder time to break through international competitions ...

a new Oden-like case

Posted Tuesday August 18, 2009, About: Marbury confirms smoking pot on video

I don't know why people make such a big deal of a person smoking a little bit of pot.
It's once more going to be a storm in a glass of water. In other words, blown out of proportion.

Let the ones, who never did anything wrong, cast the first stone.

I'm sure you're supporting the team who won the Super Bowl.
So every year another team.

Posted Monday August 17, 2009, About: Seahawks in market for RB

I do ... boy ...
What crappy team are you "supporting"?

LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR

Posted Sunday August 16, 2009, About: Sources: Burress likely suspended 8 games or more

the whole story reminds me of that movie where Patrick Swayze (playing a criminal on a surfboard) and Keanu Reeves (playing a cop) play counterparts.

In that movie there's a scene where Anthony Kiedis (if I'm not mistaken) shoots himself in the foot because he's being sandwished between a door and a wall

Posted Sunday August 16, 2009, About: Sources: Burress likely suspended 8 games or more

suspend him the entire season

Posted Sunday August 16, 2009, About: Why Spurs are opening the vault

Spurs time is over. They had their time. Duncan isn't getting younger and Ginobili and Parker are more and more often injured.

Posted Saturday August 15, 2009, About: Source: Broncos' Marshall should return soon

... but not with the Broncos.

It's better he leaves town. It will ruin his season and the whole Broncos team spirit

Posted Wednesday August 12, 2009, About: Gilbert: Clijsters can be top five player in '10

I hope she triggerd a some reaction in Justine Henin.
I hope she comes back too.

The women's tennis will have regained 2 great competitors.
The Williams sisters should be afraid, very afraid.

Hunterlaar went to Stuttgart or Hamburg. Or is at least leaning heavily towards germany

Posted Sunday August 02, 2009, About: Phone call brought Odom back to Lakers

and the point of this story is ...

Miami will end up with almost the same roster as last year.
They only got departures and no incoming players.

I fear for the Heat fans that Wade won't stay for long

Posted Sunday August 02, 2009, About: Adu wants Benfica future defined

D-Wreck

I have to make a correction to the statement you wrote a little bit Higher
Adu NEVER played at Standard, it was Gooch who played there. Gooch played in the UEFA CUP and in the Champions League QUALIFIERS, not the tournament itself.
Adu even never played in Belgium. I should know, I'm freakin' belgian.

I'm sorry to say it guys but I think most of american players (and especially Adu) are overrated.
I'ts not because you had a good run in a world cup (7 years ago by the way) and at the recent tournament that the US can win the world cup now.

The US beat Italy and Spain because they caught them off-guard and those national teams where too confident.
What was the score again in the final off the Gold Cup again? 5-0 for F*** Mexico who didn't win against the US in more than a decade. Why? The US got too confident.

We belgians know it of experience. We played the European Cup finals in 84 (lost against France) and the semi finals in the 86 World Cup (lost against Argentina). We had a very good team at that time but it was finished after that because of retirements and lack of results.
We only now are starting to get back hope because we have a lot of young talent.
We are not braging about it too much (not like you americans) because we first want to see some results.

The problem in all sports today is that people intend to idolise guys at a very young age, saying that they are "the special one". And if the kid hasn't the correct entourage, he's starting to act like a brat, asking huge salaries while he never showed something significant on the field.
The only two athletes who came from high school and made a direct impact (and whom I really respect for their achievements) are Kevin Garnett and LeBron James. Those two lived up to the expectations and beyond. A special mention goes to Phelps as well you know ...

Posted Sunday August 02, 2009, About: Regrouping Heat cancel Tinsley interview

It won't take long for Wade to leave te team (by trade or at the end of his contract) if Boozer doesn't come to Miami

Posted Sunday August 02, 2009, About: Knicks to talk to Jason Williams

why not get Marbury back? They could also try to trade for Heinrich? And Baron Davis could be prolific again under D'Antoni

Posted Sunday June 07, 2009, About: Arsenal shopping for defenders

They already signed Thomas Vermaelen from Ajax for about 11m euros

Posted Sunday May 31, 2009, About: Thunder favoring Harden or Hill?

@ The Action Brown:

Sure, the town loves them ... but for howlong? Do you think the fans will come in mass after a few years of mediocrity? I don't think that. I think, that's what you saw the last years in Seattle (and what you see with the Clippers and the Grizzlies).
And the management knows that too. That's why a week or two ago, you saw a post saying that the Thunder would like to draft that player/hero from Oklahoma.
