The Sweet Science: Mayweather / Mosley
It may not be the fight we were hoping for a few weeks ago, but it should still be a good one. After years of flirting with the idea, Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather jr. has agreed to fight Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1st at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Dwight Freeney… Ticket To Saints Victory!
Its Super Bowl week, and all eyes are on Dwight Freeney more specifically, Dwight Freeneys Ankle. The super stud Defensive End hasnt practiced since injuring his ankle in the AFC Championship Game, and no one is certain whether he will be able to play in the Super Bowl. The Sports Report Girl offers her thoughts, along with her Super Bowl Pick!
How To Fix The Pro Blow… I Mean Pro Bowl
Okay, enough is enough its time the NFL fixed the Pro Bowl once and for all. And Im using the word fix in the most Sopranos-esque manner possible. Its time the NFL iced the Pro Bowl. No one cares about a meaningless football game played at half speed. Which is why they should replace the Pro Bowl with a series of fun Skills Challenges.
Arenas & Crittenton Banned For Season
Gilbert Arenas is still waiting to hear the full extent of his fate, but that's not the case with Javaris Crittenton. The Wizards guard reached a plea deal with prosecutors that was accepted by the judge, resulting in one year's worth of unsupervised probation. As for Arenas, he's still waiting to get setenced... but seeing as how he was charged with a felony, it certainly won't be as soft of a punishment. Either way, Commisioner Stern threw the league book at booth, banning them for the remainder of the season!
Bruins & Red Wings Blow Ass!
What's the deal with the Boston Bruins and Detroit red Wings? Last year these were two of the most polific scoring teams in the NHL... but this year, they're both dead last in their respective conferences. Goal Tending and Defense has been decent, so they both have a chance to get their acts together and make a run for the playoffs. Hope the Olympic break doesn't mess up their continuity. Then again, the way they've been playing, that might not be such a bad thing!
Brett Favre Has To Come Back
After another interception prevents Brett Favre's return to the Super Bowl, talk has (of course) turned to the inevitable... Will he or won't he retire? And at this point, after what we've seen from him the past couple years, the safe money should be on him returning for one last shot. But something has me wondering this time if he isn't ready to say goodbye for the last time. Even without a trip to the Super Bowl, he couldn't ask for a better season than the one he had, and the odds of him repeating that are pretty slim. So ...
The 2010 NFL Playoffs Suck!
This time of year is usually a second Christmas for me. But this year the Wild Card Round blew (except for one game) as did the Divisional round. So what gives? Why the sucky playoffs this year? Whatever the reason, I'm not feeling too good about our prospects for an exciting Super Bowl.
Clint Dempsey’s Injury Not As Bad As First Feared
The US National Team's World Cup prospects suffered another major setback with the knee injury suffered by Clint Dempsey over the weekend. The full extent of the damage won't be known until the results from an MRI come back, but preliminary signs don't look good.
Mark McGwire, Pete Carroll & Lane Kiffin Walk Into A Bar…
In the last seven days we have seen some of the craziest sports stories of the new year... from Mark McGuire finally admitting to his use of steroids during his chase of the homerun record in '98, to the coaching carousel in Seattle, Southern California and Knoxville.
Mike Leach… An American Football Tragedy!
Adam James may well be the poor character kid Mike Leach portrayed in his recent statements with the press... but it still doesn't justify locking him up in a closet or shed. And for that lapse in judgement, Mike Leach's coaching career in college is almost certainly over. At least with respect to any programs that actually matter.
Looks Like The Joke’s On Gilbert Arenas!
Hey everyone, nothing to worry about as Gilbert Arenas and Javarus Crittenton were only joking around... well, at least Arenas was. And the guns weren't even loaded, so really, there's nothing to worry about. Right? Someone wanna tell David Stern that? Or maybe he did himself with that "Guns Up" salute before last night's game. Way to go, Gilbert! Way to go!

Is Tiger Too Tainted Even For Nike?
First Tiger Woods decided he would take an indefinate leave from the PGA Tour... The next day, Gillette put his ad campaign on hold... And the day after that, Accenture dropped him all together. Is the sky falling for Tiger Woods? Can Nike really stand by his side as he sticks his head in the sand?

I’m still recovering from the party I attended last night, but in between sips of coffee and popping Tylenol this morning, I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on what everyone loves about the Super Bowl… The Commercials. All in all, I felt it was a pretty down year for Super Bowl Commercials. So many of them had what appeared... [Read more of this review]

Highlights From The Tim Tebow Bowl (formerly known as the Senior Bowl)
Tim Tebow’s stat line for the Tim Tebow Bowl wasn’t exactly superlative; he was 8-12 for 50 yards with two fumbles and no interceptions. But even though Tebow didn’t play great, there were a number of things we definitely learned about his possibilities at the next level. The positives: His drop was very good. He was noticeably better than Tony... [Read more of this review]

Around the Association 1-23-2009
All-Stars Proving once again that the general populace can be trusted with not even the slightest of responsibilities, Allen Iverson was voted into the Eastern Conference All-Stars. The NBA did side step embarrassment when Tracy McGrady was finally outpaced in voting. This did not deter the public at large from voting in Iverson as a starter in this... [Read more of this review]
A’s Prospect Headed To The Padres?
Some of you may have heard that one of the top prospects of the Oakland A’s, Grant Desme, has retired from baseball. It’s not that Desme wasn’t good enough to play in the majors. No… he was good all right. In fact, this past year, Desme was the MVP of the Arizona Fall League, hitting .315 with 11 home runs and 27 RBIs in... [Read more of this review]

HAITI NEEDS OUR HELP!
I live in earthquake country, but fortunately, I am blessed to be in a place that has the infrastructure in place to avoid such a catastrophe. While we would definitely suffer some severe damage, it would be no where near the wreckage caused in Haiti, a third world country where their buildings and roadways are below earthquake standards. The devastation... [Read more of this review]
Tony Romo: Cowboy Casanova or Candy-Coated Misery?
*Just in case you were wondering, this title is from Carrie Underwood’s song, which is speculated to be in reference to her former fling. Eons ago, I wrote a piece for this site ranking the top 10 worst teams in the league. While a majority of them I still stand by, it pains me to say that one of those teams needs to be removed from that list... [Read more of this review]
