San Diego Chargers
A lot of people have been griping that an 8-8 Chargers team made the playoff while the highly qualified 11-5 Patriots are sitting at home this January, but in reality the Patriots have no one to blame but themselves. Losing at home to the Jets and Dolphins, and getting pounded in San Diego [...]
“Zero hour is upon us. Let us seize the day.”
That’s right, folks…its time for the NFL Playoffs. We’ve waited all year. We’ve endured a wild season…from the Jets’ collapse, to the Colts’ uprising…from the Lions’ winless season, to the Dolphins unprecedented return to the playoffs after a 1 win season…football fans have seen it all. And [...]

East Rutherford, NJ - Eric Mangini was fired on Monday but Woody Johnson forgot to include the other two stooges, Mike Tannenbaum and Brett Favre. The New York Jets collapse can very easily be placed on one man, and that man is Mangini. Although GM Tannenbaum and Favre had just as much to do [...]
Yea, I know…it’s only the Meineke Car Care Bowl but it’s also the 4th consecutive bowl win for the West Virginia Mountaineers, most notably quarterback Pat White. Saturday’s 31-30 shootout victory against North Carolina in the Tarheels‘ own backyard does more than save Mountaineer fans the embarrasment of a 5 loss season, it puts [...]
Whoa! (Joey Lawrence). The Yankees are having a historic off season, signing the likes of C.C. Sabathia, Nick Swisher and A.J.Burnett. But today, the New York Yankees solidified their offseason dominance by signing free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira in principle for 8 years, 180 million dollars.
Teixeira, who was being pursued by the Angels, Red Sox, [...]

In a dispicable effort to ride the coattails of the ACC Big Ten Challenge and its enormous success, the SEC and Big East conferences have teamed up with the anti-Christ of media (aka ESPN and its affiliates) to feed to the masses a so-called basketball “competition” between the 2 conferences. Instead of giving the fans [...]
Sabathia “Welcomed” To New York
With headlines like “He’s no Johan!”, newly signed Yankees starter C.C. Sabathia can get a good idea of what he’ll be dealing with for the next 4-7 years. In NY, you have to prove yourself in the pinstripes before they roll out the red carpet for you. And by prove yourself, [...]
Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao dominated Oscar De La Hoya to the point of submission after 8 rounds of boxing at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Friday Night in Las Vegas. It truly was an embarrassing defeat for DLH. There is no point in me rehashing the details of the fight. DE LA HOYA GOT HIS ASS HANDED TO [...]
Some notes on Major League Baseball in the middle of the damn winter…
K-Rod will go to the Mets (3 yr/ $37M). Citi Stadium will be alive and well in its inaugural season. The Mets might have the better roster in New York for the first time since 1990.
Kerry Wood will be in a Cleveland Indians [...]

Las Vegas, NV - Tonight, the biggest active name in boxing takes on the sport’s pound-for-pound kingpin when Oscar De La Hoya (39-5, 30KOs) and Manny Pacquiao (47-3, 35KOs), square off at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. As we learned from the Pavlik-Hopkins bout, styles [...]
Some thoughts on the haps:
The Stephon Marbury saga with the New York Knicks is grinding to an end (we hope anyway). Mike D’Antoni knows what kind of product he gets with Starbury. The first year Knick coach has dealt with Steph’s antics in Phoenix and he gets the credit for weeding the NBA’s 2nd highest paid player out of the organization. Nobody [...]
