Sporting News Calls It: Andruw Jones Career Possibly Over
Published 2 days ago by alex at dodgerfan.net
OK, so everyone likes to hate on Andruw Jones these days. We’re certainly no strangers to this activity here at dodgerfan.net, but The Sporting News had a great take on the contract restructuring and its implications to doing a deal prior to Spring Training: Jones so wants out of Los Angeles that he agreed to restructure the final year of his contract. He came to understand that the Dodgers couldn’t trade him if he was still owed $22 million in 2009. Now he’ll take $5 million in base pay in 2009 instead of $15 million and will get the rest of his money paid out at zero interest over 15 ...

SEVEN YEARS LATER, THE “TUCK RULE” REARS ITS HEAD
Published 23 days ago by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com
We mentioned in passing on Sunday the connection between referee Walt Coleman’s stunning replay reversal that delivered a win to the Steelers and the infamous “tuck rule” ruling from nearly seven years ago. In both cases, Coleman made the criticial decision. As explained in our fresh-off-the-nonexistent-presses SportingNews.com Ten-Pack, via citation to the rules and application of common sense, Coleman should not have overturned the call ...

The morning after: All the links fit to read
Published 11/30/2008 by KyleVeazey at The Blog
Twenty-four hours have passed since Sylvester Croom and Mississippi State parted ways after a half-decade with him as the school's head coach. There's much to read on the subject this morning, so let's go straight to the links.   First, in today's Clarion-Ledger, some comprehensive team coverage. The Croom story ran as the top story on the front page of the newspaper, with my main story summing it all up and David Brandt's sidebar on national reaction.    In the sports section, we lead with my ...

No matter how much his own general manager would like to limit it. -- Eric McErlain, NHL FanHouse and The Sporting Blog NHL on the Fly ... For hockey starved Americans who get ...

Published 10/29/2008 by derrick eckardt at RotoNation
The Sporting News is running a pretty simple promotion to keep its users engaged in the off-season. Ask the Sporting News Fantasy Source a fantasy question, and you could be the proud owner of a copy of the 2009 Fantasy Baseball Yearbook. Not bad for trying to find out if David Price is for real, should you keep Ryan Zimmerman in your keeper league, or is it still okay to joke about Jose Canseco with your team name? Woo-Hoo!

Clemson Loses To Gerogia Tech 21-17. Dabo Swinney Gets Yelled At By Clemson AD.

... together after the game and leave the field as a group, so don't expect much from the Tigers in the coming weeks. By the way, is Lane Kiffin the answer for what ails Clemson? I have no idea, but he couldn't make things much worse, that's for sure. Plus, Clemson is more or less the college version of the Raiders anyway, so you'd have to think Kiffin would easily be able to slip right in and feel totally comfortable.

Did SeaTown Sports Curse Seattle Sports?
Published 10/11/2008 by noreply@blogger.com (karazekevin) at SeaTown Sports
It's official. The city of Seattle has dropped to No. 32 in the Top 400 sports cities. In 2006 we were 15th. Things are going downhill for sports in Seattle. This year has probably been the most depressing year for the Seattle sports scene in a very long time. I sure hope that Big Lo isn't going ...

Masters of the Gridiron: The 1985 Cleveland Browns?
Published 10/9/2008 by Andrew Stoeten at TheScore.com Blog
Great find here by First Cuts, a blog from the Sporting News. And by "great" I, of course, mean seriously, seriously awful find here. Oh God. Why am I watching this? Why am I suggesting other people watch it? Why was it even made? Why did Ernest Byner have to fumble that ball in the '87 AFC Championship? These are all questions that are probably best left unanswered, but what the hell, let's vaguely answer them anyway... Masters of the Gridiron is some kind of a football-themed fantasy thing that stars members of the 1985 Cleveland ...

An unfriendly reminder: the weekly Monday Night Football live blog/chat is tonight at 8:30, assholes.  We’re going to try to make it a little less frenetic than in past weeks.  (Translation: quality over quantity in the number of comments.)  Featuring Captain Caveman, Monday Morning Punter, flubby, a few trusted commenters, and special guest Orson Swindle/Spencer Hall.  It’s just barely better than watching the game alone.

Who are the 2 Coolest Sports Bloggers?
Published 9/26/2008 by ethanator1088 at NESW Sports, Sports Videos
Who are the 2 coolest sports bloggers. Please keep in mind that this is completely subjective, but I am most likely right. The 2 coolest sports bloggers are the brothers Jamie Mottram and Chris Mottram. They are Uber Sports bloggers. Chris is the editor of the Sporting Blog, and Jamie is an editor at Yahoo Sports Blogs. Their list of accomplishments are too long to list here, but this is a short rundown. They have one of the best sports blogs, Mr ...

Pirates need to find something to play for... How about the fans?
Published 9/12/2008 by Deaner (noreply@blogger.com) at Blue Collar Baseball
Goals are important. They keep us going on a daily basis. They allow us to better ourselves, mark our progress, and ultimately make us feel accomplished. The Pittsburgh Pirates do not look like a goal-oriented team right now. They've lost six straight and 17 out of their last 20 games. With 16 games left the Buccos are seriously in jeopardy of losing 100 games in 2008. The Pirates only need 3 more wins to prevent this but right now that doesn't look do-able. The team has simply laid down and given up, something that I didn't think they would do earlier in the season. So here's a goal Pirates, if you aren't going to play ...

Your Olympic Video Du Jour: No One Seems To Understand The Whole European Congratulatory Kiss

... Awkward! "You're going to take this third kiss even if it means it might come across looking like we're necking!" In Italy, two kisses is reserved for a greeting, but three kisses is for someone who just did something really good. I just love the determination from the Italian Gymnast, that's the kind of love the world needs! Good for her.
