Brady Quinn Opens Can Of Worms With GQ Article

We all thought it. Some of us who don’t play professionally have said it out loud. But Brady Quinn, the “superstar” career backup quarterback of the Denver Broncos, decided he was going to break professional protocol and weigh in on what he thought was a “lucky” run by Tim Tebow and the Broncos this past season. Keep in mind, up to this point the most action we have...

The Pittsburgh Pirates Would Do Well Avoiding...

Three years ago I made a plea to the Pittsburgh Pirates not to blow up the team they were building. Needless to say they didn’t listen to me and went in a direction that is admirable. They’ve cultivated quite the farm system in Pittsburgh, and with the selection of Gerritt Cole have begun the groundwork of building their rotation. So imagine my surprise when of all the rumors in the...

I’m an Atlanta Falcons fan and I have no problem with my favorite teams players talking a big game so long as they can back it up. That is why it is always funny to hear Roddy White talk after...

Jeremy Lin: Broadway's Newest Star

As stories go, Jeremy Lin’s is an astounding one. They say it takes 10-15 years to become an overnight sensation. To call this story such would be a disrespect to all the hard work this guy has put in over the years. Nevertheless where did he come from? Quick background: born in Los Angeles, California, Lin was an All-State basketball player and player of the year in high school. He...

Chauncey Billups Season-Ending Injury A Big Blow...

Things just got a little more interesting in “Lob City.” Chauncey Billups went down Monday with a torn Achilles tendon. It was announced today that Billups would be lost for the year, leaving a big hole to fill for the Clippers in their offense. Billups, 35, was averaging 15 points and four assists from the two spot on the floor. Where the five-time NBA All-Star will be most missed...

Thoughts On Eli, Coughlin, Super Bowl, Patriots,...

That’s a wrap on this NFL season. Congrats to the New York Giants on winning their second Super Bowl in four years and eighth (league and Super Bowl combined) overall.

Peyton Manning Situation Proof That Sports All...

“Business is a combination of war and sport.” -Andre Maurois The Colts had a lousy season. There really is no other way to describe a season that saw the team go (2-14), lose its star quarterback, and go through two back-up quarterbacks; one of which was summoned out of retirement. Things were tough in Indy, but you never got the sense that something major was going to happen...

National Signing Day 2012: Urban Meyer Already...

So much for the good feelings. Urban Meyer, the newly minted head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, made headlines for more than just being Urban Meyer. It has been reported that Wisconsin head coach, Bret Bielema, was less than impressed about some of Meyer’s recruiting practices that differ from the longstanding tradition of recruiting for the conference. From SB Nation: “One...

National Signing Day 2012: Top Five Recruiting...

These are my top-5 recruiting classes of 2012: 1.) University of Alabama: Impact Player-Landon Collins: Sadly another case where “parents gone wild” overshadowed a recruits hard work. In any case Collins (ESPN150 #6/Dutchtown High School, Geismar, LA) has off the charts ability in the secondary and is a huge pickup for the Tide who took the #1 recruit out of the state of Louisiana ...

National Signing Day 2012: The Circus That Was...

National signing day is supposed to be the culmination of four-years of hard work by a prep athlete getting validated by an offer from some of the finest institutions in the nation. That was not the case for University of Georgia signee Josh Harvey-Clemons. Harvey-Clemons (ESPN150 #17/Lowndes High School, Valdosta, GA) was the number one outside linebacker recruit in the country and the number...

National Signing Day 2012: Les Miles Needs Another...

Obviously things have been rough the last four weeks for Les Miles. After getting thumped in the BCS National Championship game by Alabama you would think he would have gained a little bit of humility. They, for all intents and purposes, did win the Southeastern Conference and their division all while holding the number one spot in the country for most of the season. That being said his bravado...
