College is for the kids. Basketball is just a game. College basketball is still just a game played by kids. However, there is a dark side to College Ball. A political-esque corruption, if you will. Its run by the suit on the sideline. Or in the pressbox. With the greasy hair and nice car. The Smooth Talker. The Rick Pitino. The John Calipari. C'mon, you know what I'm talking about.
There was always this sort of, aura about Pitino and Calipari. They're both damn good coaches. They can *recruit,* win, and build programs. But, everytime I see one of…

Many professional athletes can retire pretty much whenever they want. Thats not like most Americans who will give whatever they have for that kind of freedom. I mean, if Matt Ryan wanted to, he could wait until his contract is up and just retire. Enter: Brett Favre, the 17 year NFL vet, who is a sure Hall of Famer and will see his bust in Canton sooner rather than later has said he wanted to come back. Unfortunately, for Brett his old team, the Green Bay Packers don't want him. (Sound familiar, Jeff Bagwell.) There are many different arguements ranging across…

Alright, Alright. I knowI'm probaly going to take alot of heat for this but I truly believe Philadelphia is the BEST town for Basketball. And I dont mean just professionaly. So, here are a few facts to back-up my statement.Six Division I schools in the city. Six! I know down in North Carolina they are a hot-bed for hoops but nothing comes close to the tradition of the Big 5 and the Penn Palestra.

I am in a tournament with 16 people all about Phillies sports. I am ranked 15th and I am taking on the 2 seed about who is the best Phillies player ever. I need your vote. I am going for the upset.

Cool...

Except BLIND optimism...again, MOST Eagles fans are homers in that they only see their players or team as the best even if they were 2-14 the year earlier...it will be SUPER BOWL Victory this upcoming year for them...but they end up going 1-15... Anyway, I don't see you as a Homer. I don't think I've ever seen you say that Dawkins is the best safety in the league today (and thank god in not in history) or that Westbrook is the BEST back in the NFL...two VERY homeristic things to do (I think I just made up a word: homeristic).
