MLB: Game 162 counts the most

One game.  One title. 
The Mets and the Phillies are all tied heading to the last game of the season.  The Mets play Florida.  The Phillies play Washington.  If they both win (or lose), they will play a one game playoff for the division in Philadelphia. 
San Diego has the wild card almost wrapped up with a [...]

MLB: Mets gasp

The only race left is the Mets and Phillies and believe it or not but the Phillies lead the division by a game.  This is just unbelievable.  Here are the Mets stats - lost 5 straight, 11 of 15 and 8 in a row at home.  This is the first time since May 15 that [...]

NFL: QB hot seats

The Bears heard the chants … “Griese, Griese” … from their fans and they listened.  Brian Griese will start over Rex Grossman, who again struggled to get the Bears offense going on Sunday night. 
What other quarterbacks are on the hot seat?
Matt Leinart…the second year pro was benched for Kurt Warner who then led the team [...]

MLB: Playoffs? No thanks.

That is kind of the feeling you get from the Mets and the Cubs as of late.  With only a few days left in the regular season, the Mets can’t beat the Nationals and the Cubs were swept by the Marlins, who travel to NY to ruin their Fall plans.
The Phillies are now tied for [...]

NFL: Week 3

Now things get interesting. 
Teams with slow starts (San Diego) are now counting losses in hopes to not get behind the 8-ball.  New England is unstoppable and Randy Moss looks like a man reborn.  Speaking of reborn…Brett Favre and the Packers look like contenders after an impressive 31-24 win against the Chargers.  The Eagles changed their [...]

MLB: Races tight…especially across the NL

The National League has the most exciting races right now.  The Mets can’t buy a game and the Phillies can’t lose.  NY now has a two game lead.  The Cubs have a game and a half on the Brewers, who almost died somewhere around July.  And, the Diamondbacks are down to a half game lead [...]

Floyd Landis found guilty

Was there even a Tour de France this year?  Here is a guy who was tested after each leg of the race and sometimes twice and he never failed.  All of a sudden (because he is American) there are charges he used synthetic steroids.  Apparently, he poked holes through the entire US Anti-Doping Agency’s case [...]

NASCAR: Dale Jr’s new ride

Tatoo me another 8!!!

Good article on McNabb

I read this on FoxSports.com by Jason Whitlock and he shows how the black athlete and his teammates are sometimes harder on the black QB than they would a white QB - his example Terrell Owens calling McNabb a sell out for not supporting his contract demands and Tom Brady and the Patriots high profile [...]

MLB: Moose is back

Back from his vacation, Mike Mussina pitched a gem - 7 innings, 3 hits, 6 Ks.  The Yankees beat the Orioles 12-0 and move to within 2 1/2 games behind the Red Sox.  The lead used to be 15 at one point but after the Sox lost again to the Blue Jays they are in [...]
