These days we’ve been reading a lot about
the uncertainty of Michigan’s current coach, Rich Rodriguez. We
hear all these rumors, such as yesterday’s ridiculous statement by Michael Wilbon in which he said RichRod is done at Michigan. The pending NCAA investigation, along with the recent ...

Let me be real clear before I go
any further. Quite frankly, it’s getting harder and harder
to vouch for Allen Iverson. I’ve defended him throughout his career. He rejuvenated basketball in Philadelphia but throughout his time in the “City of Brotherly Love” the fans didn’t show him enough of ...

I’ve waited about two years to write this
article, so bear with me if I go on
and on about my hatred for such a traitor. Your father played football under Bo in the 60’s. You grew up a Michigan fan while living in enemy territory, and you committed to play for the University of Michigan. ...

So this is it. This is what it
all comes down to. It’s Michigan-Ohio State week. For
every day this week I’m going to fully disclose the state of the Michigan program and will also plead to you how important this game is for everybody, but most importantly Mr. Rich Rodriguez himself. This season ...

1. ATLANTA HAWKS (7), 8-2 – After defeating
the Celtics on the road, the Hawks take over
the top spot this week. They have a difficult slate of games this week, however, as they face the Blazers, Heat, and Rockets. Fortunately for them, they’re all home games. 2. DENVER NUGGETS ...

Following Pacquiao’s complete decimation of Miguel Cotto in
yesterday’s “fight”, the thought of a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight has
the casual fight fan absolutely crazed right now. Pacquiao has been absolutely ruthless since his second victory over Juan Manuel Marquez back ...

Unfortunately this game was not on television nor
was it available online so I could not watch
it so I’ll limit my thoughts on this one. After all, I am relying only on the box score. We should’ve won by more than 11. Valpo shooting 44.4% from long distance is unacceptable. These ...

Riding high off of the Yankees’ 27th World
Series Championship, I was prepared to see a competitive
Knicks squad that would attract marquee free agents this summer. While a playoff berth was unlikely, it wasn’t impossible. I figured the Knicks would finish the season with about 35 ...

A much better performance tonight by North Carolina
albeit against a much weaker team. It was worrisome
early as the Eagles kept up right out the gates but the boys in blue ended the game on an absurd 70-22 run. Some thoughts: UNC outrebounded FIU by 21. They outrebounded NCCU by 26. But it ...

Anderson’s NFL Week 9 Power 10 1. New
Orleans Saints (8-0) – The Saints just keep finding
ways to win regardless of the score. After never trailing in their first 5 games, New Orleans has had to come from behind in their last 3 games played. While Sunday’s deficit against the ...

North Carolina opened the season tonight against Isiah
Thomas’s Florida International squad. Here are my thoughts from
watching the game: Way too many careless turnovers by UNC. Dexter Strickland had five in 11 minutes of play. The good news: Larry Drew only had two. Speaking of Larry ...

Elizabeth Lambert is one crazy bitch. How did
she not get thrown out of the game after
any one of these incidents? Awful job by the refs or whatever they are called in soccer. Give her a damn red card. Damn. #7 on BYU is pretty hot though. Definitely a boo.

1. PHOENIX SUNS (9), 6-1 – Despite getting
smoked by the Magic in Orlando, the Suns made
up for it by beating the Celtics on the road. Steve Nash is playing like an MVP and is shooting better from 3-point land than 2-point distance. Are the Suns for real? This week will be a good [...]

Exactly 8 years after the heart-breaking loss to
the Diamonbacks in the 2001 World Series, the Yankees
are once again the World Series champions. After not fully appreciating the 4 title run in the late ’90s, this playoff run will long be remembered for me. And before I go into some ...

For comparing Manu Ginobili’s swatting of a bat

I haven’t yet read Andre Agassi’s tell-all saga,
but by all accounts it is an incredibly revealing
book about his self-destruction into crystal meth addiction, his tumultuous and public relationship (and nasty break-up) with Brooke Shields, and his abusive relationship with his ...
