Houston Redux
Published 9/28/2007 by Dave D. at NJ.com: Nets Blast
You want complicated? Try this: Allan Houston is about to become a father for the third time - Tami is due to deliver today, as in any minute - and he still has a few teams tapping their feet wondering when he's going to make up his mind about accepting their invitation to camp. We're told that he's narrowed it down to the Knicks and Nets, basically, with Cleveland as the third option. No surprises there. How can a guy leave home a few days after his child has arrived, when it's much easier to commute to work and have some semblance of a home life when he needs it most? But here's the snag: He hasn't made up his ...

Boras as Borat?
Published 11/18/2007 by Jodie at Gossip On Sports - The Latest Dish On and Off the Field
Sundays are great. We read the Sunday paper, kick back in the afternoon, and chill out until its time for the Celtics and the Patriots, respectively, to further improve their flawless records.  Well, it’s true, isn’t it? What do you expect a cocky New England sports fan to do, be humble about it all? That’s like asking Barry Bonds if he took steroids and expecting the truth. Oh wait . . . Anyway, we thought we’d share with you some fun from our satire pals over at www.etruesports.com. Check out their spoof of oft-sleazy agent to the superathletes, Scott Boras. ...

Boras, Bonds, and Baseball Legacies

Frank Coffey and his satire specialists at www.eTrueSports.com are kindred spirits when it comes to poking fun at certain, shall we say, “characters” in the sports world. Two gentlemen whose personalities render them sports jokes waiting to happen are agent Scott Boras and everyone’s favorite Steroid King Homerun King Under Indictment, Barry Bonds. Thanks to some solid investigative reporting by Frank & Company, new information has called into question a shady element of Scott Boras’ past.

So while we are all eagerly awaiting the Roger Clemens interview with Mike Wallace this coming Sunday in which Roger, no Brad Ausmus in the brains department, tries to explain how he can possibly prove that McNamee didn’t inject him with anything and why it isn’t necessarily so that if a person tells a truth about one thing he must therefore be telling the truth about everything else… here are a few new websites to check out.
