If I wasn't as astonishingly brilliant as I am, I might think that sports hernias were contagious. After McNabb's ordeal in 2005 and LJ Smith's fiasco last year, the plague continues as Kevin Curtis will likely miss at least 5-6 weeks after having surgery to address his hernia. White Lightning is down. I repeat: White Lightning is down. Shit. A WR situation that wasn't looking great ...

No, not Prime Time . . . Primetime . Last year we were all forced to watch NBC's "Football Night in America" to get all the NFL highlights on Sunday evenings. It was truly unbearable, but unfortunately NBC has the exclusive rights to the extended highlights packages. Just ask Conniesmack if there is anything worse than listening to(or trying to listen to) Shannon Sharpe talk about his opinions ...

Anquan Boldin wants out of Arizona . They promised him and his super- asshole agent Drew Rosenhaus they'd redo his contract, but no progress has been made. Does this sound like a familiar scenario to anyone? "Although Boldin previously denied asking for a trade, he said Tuesday that his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has asked the Cardinals to consider it now. “At the beginning of camp, I hadn’t ...

No, we won't have Cliff Huxtable there cheering his son on (though his alter-ego Bill Cosby has been known to watch some Temple hoops at the Wachovia Center), but we will welcome back Theo Ratliff to the 76ers rotation. Reports are that he'll sign a 1-year, $1.4 million deal to ride the pine for ~30 minutes a game. I hate to sound unenthusiastic, but how excited can you really get when you ...

ESPN launched a fan poll last week asking fans of all 32 NFL teams to vote for their team's " Franchise Player ." Yes, this is one of those Worldwide Leader gimmicks (see the Who's Now debate and Titletown, USA), but it start up an interesting conversation. Who do you think is the greatest Eagle of all time? Here is how the fans voted on ESPN: Reggie White , DE The minister of defense ...

We first reported on this last week , but last night the deal became official. The Sixers lock up Iggy for the next 6 years for a cool $80 mil (although according to Sixers.com "terms of the deal have not been released"). So with this deal official, here's how the Sixers roster is shaping up for 2008-09: PG Andre Miller Lou Williams Royal Ivey SG Willie Green Kareem Rush SF Andre ...

Like Barry Bonds' record breaking home-run ball, this game must be stamped with an asterisk. The rain and field conditions made it tough to accurately evaluate the performances of some players. For whatever reason, the wet ball seemed to affect the Eagles more than it affected the Panthers. But the real heroes were the Eagles cheerleaders who stayed in their white bikini-tops even after ...

Last night's Eagles game was strange, to say the least. This game featured an hour long lightning delay in the first half and torrential downpours throughout the second half. Despite the strange weather, DeSean Jackson was able to put together his 2nd straight solid performance. No, this isn't a high school kid, its the Eagles biggest deep threat Jackson was far from perfect, but he ...

Maybe you've seen the video or maybe you read that the comments were made. Either way, J-Roll done gone and FUCKED up with this one: J-Roll Best Damn by TheFightins I don't have a problem with Jimmy thinking the fans are front-runners — he's right.

That makes two games in a row that I had to witness a walk off hit by the Dodgers. It also makes two straight games that the Phillies could/should have won. And the bullpen has now surrendered two straight games to a mediocre team. It also means that the Phillies now stand in a tie for the NL East lead. The game started out so well, so promising, that we thought the Phils were on pace for a ...

Have you ever seen that terrible JLo movie The Cell ? In the movie, JLo gets to walk around inside a killers head, its like his subconscious is a world unto itself. I would love to be able to walk around inside Chad Johnson's head. Nothing he says has ever made sense to me, but I love it all. So a few days back Chad was busy telling people about how much Dade County he has in him. Yesterday on ...

(photo from ESPN ) The picture above is of Spain's men's basketball team. In case you can't tell, the players are all making their eyes "look more Chinese." This wasn't a regrettable drunk photo that surfaced ala Matt Leinart or Vince Young. This was an entire team, posing, for an advertisement. This ad has been running in a Spanish newspaper for almost a week! There were so many chances ...

A walk off single in the bottom of the 9th after blowing another solid Cole Hamels start will feel like that. The Phils just couldn't hold off ManRam and the Dodgers and the usually dependable bullpen surrendered the game to LA, making it two in a row for the guys in blue. Both starting pitchers threw good games. Although it appeared in recent games that the Phil's bats had come alive, ...

Although it's not confirmed, and ESPN has a habit of running some inaccurate stories, I do trust and respect Henry Abbott. If you don't check his True Hoop blog, you should. Sources are reporting that the Sixers and Andre Iguodala have agreed to a 6 year, $80 million dollar contract. That is a substantial raise from the approximate $57 million he was offered last year. If it goes through, ...

In case you missed MNF last night, there was actually something entertaining that didn't include the name "Brett Favre." Chad Johnson was interviewed by Suzy Kolber on the sideline during the 2nd half of the game. I could explain to what happened, but I'd rather just have you check it out for yourself (video via Awful Announcing ): Chad by bsap11 To be honest, I'm a little scared. I ...

Well, there wasn't too much to report back from last night. Victorino's catch in the bottom of the 1st inning was awesome and Werth hosing someone down in the 4th to stop the bleeding topped the list. After KK served up 6 runs in the 3rd, it was rough sailing until a few late runs that made it a close game. Utley delivered in the top of the 9th, leaving the Big Fella with a chance to silence ...

As you may remember, we here at PoorSports were decidedly less than riveted by the Soul’s AFL championship run. So today I’m reading this article by ESPN Page 2 columnist Mary Buckheit about the Soul visiting some sick kids at a hospital in New Orleans and I’m feeling a little guilty. I mean, these guys did represent the city well…even if their claim to have ended Philly’s professional ...

Well, they are for me at least. To say that I'm excited for the Phils to be in Southern California is a bit of an understatement; I've had these games circled since the schedule was released. I'll be attending all three games in LA and will be sure to report back with the perspective of a Philadelphia fan in the heart of Los Angeles. I'd love to head down to San Diego afterwards for a few more ...

This news was kind of lost amongst all the Phillies/Olympics/Eagles preseason hype, but its noteworthy nonetheless. It appears that Smith will be lost for the season after tearing his ACL during an NBA camp in Las Vegas last week. Smith was on pace to be a strong contributer for what should be a very competitive Sixers team next season. Sure, it could be worse, the Sixers could have lost a ...
