Eagle Rock High coach might not be so popular with his players

fightonusc fightonusc posted 11/12/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

The football coach at Eagle Rock High is recovering after a former player put on a helmet at practice and drilled him in the back when he wasn't looking. Meanwhile, the player escaped as the team did nothing to help the coach. Is that a sign that the team might have quit on you?

81-year-old Joe Paterno, seething after his Nittany Lions were jumped by Texas Tech for the No. 2 spot in this week's BCS rankings, vowed to do everything he can to make sure voters know just how old and feeble he is to gain valuable sympathy votes to move back ahead in the BCS rankings.

Let's whore Morrissey out for every NFL team

fightonusc fightonusc posted 10/15/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

The NFL Network is using Morrissey's "Everyday Is Like Sunday" as the centerpiece of their new advertising campaign. So if we're going to whore Morrissey out, why not do it for every team? Like using "Panic" to promote Patriots games? Or "You're The One For Me, Fatty" for Andy Reid and the Eagles?

Red Sox trade Manny to Boston, hope he doesn't catch on
Red Sox trade Manny to Boston, hope he doesn't catch on

fightonusc fightonusc posted 7/31/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

The Red Sox, ending weeks of speculation, traded disgruntled star Manny Ramirez to Boston today, hoping that the eccentric slugger wouldn't catch on that it's the same place. The plan appeared to be working, as Ramirez told a throng of reporters that he was "very happy" to be heading to Boston, and "glad that the Red Sox granted his wish to leave."

Favre ready to send in reinstatement letter as soon as he can find a damned stamp

fightonusc fightonusc posted 7/29/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

At a hastily-called press conference outside of his home, Brett Favre today announced that he had signed his letter asking the NFL for reinstatement, and that he planned on mailing it in as soon as he could find a stamp. "I've turned this damned place upside down looking for a stamp, and I ain't got anything," Favre said. "Maybe if you reporters had one, maybe in your wallets or purses."

What got into the drinking water in Ohio this weekend?

Carson Palmer basically dunking himself in gasoline an running into a fireworks testing facility by ripping on Ohio State? Danica Patrick and Milka Duno getting into a sexy* catfight at the Mid-Ohio race track? Columbus Crew fans rumbling with English soccer hooligans? Seriously, what the hell was going on in Ohio this weekend that was causing everyone to lose their damned minds?

Your 1990 Fantasy Football Preview

fightonusc fightonusc posted 7/22/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

Just in time for the 2008 NFL season, we take a look at Cliff Charpentier's 1990 Fantasy Football Preview to see who he thinks are going to be the standout running backs 18 years ago. Seriously, Greg Bell over Thurman Thomas? This, and the fact that the author is clearly some sort of French-Canadian, do not bode well for the rest of the picks.

A bad scene for Oscar Diaz

fightonusc fightonusc posted 7/17/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

As I type this, welterweight Oscar Diaz is being carried out of the ring on a stretcher after collapsing between the 10th and 11th rounds of a brutal fight with Delvin Rodriguez on ESPN2's Wednesday Night Fights. They played the footage and audio of Diaz, whose right eye had closed from constant punishment, staggering around like a drunken sailor before mumbling and collapsing to the ring ropes.

NFL is pretty sure Peyton Manning is a Crip

fightonusc fightonusc posted 7/16/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

NFL officials, reviewing past game film for the possible use of gang signs by players, today announced that they are pretty sure that they saw Peyton Manning flash a sign of allegiance to the Kitchen Crips, a powerful gang in South Central Los Angeles, during a game last year against the Cleveland Browns. But at the same time, they conceded that he might have just been signaling for an audible.

Statuatory thinking: Ideas for alternative baseball stadium statues
Statuatory thinking: Ideas for alternative baseball stadium statues

fightonusc fightonusc posted 7/8/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

The Los Angeles Times had a story yesterday about statues at baseball stadiums, and a suggestion to add one of Sandy Koufax to Dodger Stadium. I think a statue of Fred Claire giving Pedro Martinez a plane ticket to Montreal would be more appropriate. It got me thinking of honest statues for other MLB stadiums. Tropicana Field needs a statue of Rocco Baldelli in an MRI machine at once!

Dozen of tractors overturned in Fresno following College World Series win

fightonusc fightonusc posted 6/26/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

Law enforcement officials picked through the debris Thursday morning after celebrations turned violent following Fresno State's College World Series-clinching win over Georgia the previous night. Raucous fans left overturned hundreds of pieces of farm equipment and left countless heads of cattle, sheep and other livestock "startled but otherwise unharmed."

Coverage of Kalitta crash raises questions

fightonusc fightonusc posted 6/23/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

ESPN's coverage of the crash that killed champion drag racer Scott Kalitta on Saturday raises a lot of questions about how sports broadcasters should handle fatal crashes. Do they need to show replays at all? Is replaying a fatal crash serving the public's right to know, or is it just appealing to their baser instincts. Not surprisingly, there are no black and white answers.

Big Huge Labs has a fun program where you can make your own "Motivational" poster. You know, the one that your cheesy boss has of a rock climber that says something like "Endurance: Having the grit to hang tough"? So I thought, there are certainly some posters that could be made involving athletes in the news.

Earthquake felt across Southland attributed to Laker fans ripping flags off of cars

fightonusc fightonusc posted 6/19/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

Cal Tech researchers reported that a massive earth movement that registered 4.3 on the Richter scale Tuesday night was not an earthquake as previously thought, but the result of hundreds of thousands of small Laker flags being thrown to the ground in disgust after the team's series-clinching 131-92 defeat by the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

NASCAR is more screwed than the NBA

fightonusc fightonusc posted 6/12/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

In case you missed it on Monday, there was a story that broke featuring allegations that, if true, could potentially be so damaging as to cripple an entire sport. No, I'm not talking about the NBA and its continuing ref scandal - I mean NASCAR and a just-filed $225 million discrimination lawsuit filed by a former employee.

Five non-conference trap games for national title contenders
Five non-conference trap games for national title contenders

fightonusc fightonusc posted 6/10/2008 from www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com

Every year, you can go through the college football schedule and find several games involving national title contenders that just jump out at you as all sorts of potential trouble. It doesn't always work out that way - sometimes the "better" team does what they are supposed to do and takes care of business. But sometimes these games lead to dogfights...and upsets.
