What has happened to all the loud mouth receivers in the NFL?Randy Moss everyone’s favorite boisterous juice entrepreneur, has stopped running his mouth and instead has been running his touchdown total up to point where he might pass Jerry Rice’s single season record of 22 touchdowns in the strike shortened season of 1987.Terrell Owens, a man who nobody in the NFL has been able to shut up, is

What has happened to major league baseball?In a span of 48 hours, three of baseball’s biggest stars made headlines and not for petty things such as disputes with coaches, etc.In the last week, Alex Rodriguez has come to the New York Yankees to renegotiate a contract. Barry Bonds was finally indicted on federal counts of perjury and obstruction of justice, and Derek Jeter has been accused of tax

The higher the expectations, the tougher they are to meet.We had been hearing about the game between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts since what seemed like the beginning of the season.It was called Super Bowl XLI½, The greatest regular season game ever, and just about anything else the media types could think of.There’s only problem with generating that much hype for a sporting

I don't usually cover the sports world of individual cities, but I’m a Michigan native and there is something going on in that state that I must bring to your attention.Two of the most frustrating football teams in the country professional or collegiate resign in the state of Michigan. I’m talking about the Michigan State football Spartans and the Detroit Lions, two teams that have traditionally

Just a quick post. As far as this World Series is concerned I have gone back and forth on my pick. My heart tells me to go with the Rockies. I would love to see them win for the city especially if it's a sweep. 11 in a row, what a story that would be.I hate the Red Sox but my mind tells me to go with them. They have the top two pitchers in the Series both of whom dominate in October. They also

I am starting to get really sick and tired of hearing about performance enhancing drugs and their effects on sports.Granted if a person takes performance enhancing drugs it is going aid their performance, but to what extent?Barry Bonds, the poster man for performance enhancing drugs was ALREADY a Hall of Famer before he allegedly began using steroids. If you look at Bonds’ statistics he was on

I love baseball. It is my favorite sport for many reasons. I love the fact that there is no time clock. Watching a baseball game helps me to understand what it might have been like to live in the Victorian era, when the world moved slowly and people could take a break and go watch a ball game for entertainment.I love how none of the 30 MLB parks are the same. To my knowledge, it is the only sport

So is Kobe going to get traded or not?Everyday I hear something new out of L.A. One day Kobe says he wants to get traded, the next he changes his mind. One day management says that they are not listening to offers for Kobe and then later on we find out from Dr. Buss that Kobe has been on the market all summer.People say Shaq is a goofball and this is true, but I'd rather be goofy than loony.

There are just some cities that shouldn't have certain sports teams. Sometimes the markets are just too small (I'm sorry New Orleans but you couldn't hold two teams BEFORE Katrina), sometimes the sports are just not relevant in the city(HALF of the NHL teams to fall into this category), and then other times you have a fan base that is just completely and utterly indifferent to sports in general.

Okay let's be real, we all knew it would happen some day soon. Terrell Owens has officiallystarted running his mouth again this year.Granted it is not as bad yet as in previous years, but he might just be getting started. Unfortunately I thought that maybe this was the year that Owens would go a whole year and not use the media to call out a teammate, coach, or opponent. Looks like I was

Just a few observations now that the divisional round of the MLB playoffs are officially over.First, I don't want to brag (okay maybe I do a little) but I believe it was me who said the Rockies were the team to beat in the National League. They were the hottest team in baseball and still are the hottest team in baseball after polishing off the supposed hottest team in baseball in three straight

What is up with College football? I mean seriously since when are California, Boston College and South Florida such powerhouses? Remember when Nebraska, Michigan, Miami, and Penn State dominated college football, like oh I don't know, a couple of years ago? Where are those teams now? None of them are ranked this weekNow listen I love College Football and there's nothing like a good upset (

So apparently the NHL hockey season starts tonight (actually it already started in England, but come on, I can hardly stand watching hockey anymore, so I can't imagine the Brit's would even know what the hell was going on). Was somebody planning on telling me this? If so when? After the first fight appeared on Sports Center? Maybe I would have to wait for 6'7" 270 Derek Boogaard to get his first

Ben Wallace will once again be able to wear a headband while he plays defense in the NBA. Scott Skiles is showing that he realizes his job as coach is to put his team in the best position to win and that means keeping Big Ben happy.Not that Big Ben needs to be able to wear a headband to be happy. Wallace has a four year $60 million contract to essentially stand under the basket on defense so that

Now that the Colorado Rockies have officially wrapped up the NL Wild Card, the playoffs can officially start. While all four series (Yankees/Indians, Angels/Bo Sox, Cubs/Diamondbacks, Rockies/Phillies) should make you TIVO your regularly scheduled late night programming, the one that is most intriguing will be the one that took the longest to develop: Rockies/Phillies.While this series features

The Irish are bad. They are 0-5 and on the fast track to 0-8. Their next three games are at UCLA, and at home against #7 Boston College and #2 USC, two teams the Fightin' Irish usually don't put up much of a fight against. The Irish are 0-8 against the Eagles and the Trojans since 2002, and don't be surprised if they are 0-8 agianst everybody since August three weeks from now.Notre Dame's offense
