Fand ‘em & Followed ‘em
The Cost of Business
It finally happened. After weeks of inconsistent and head-scratching decisions the NFL’s replacement officials directly impacted the final result of a game. The events that transpired in the closing minutes of Monday night’s Packers vs. Seahawks game were a disgrace to the quality of a league that is revered as the pinnacle of professional sports [...]
Calapari indirectly shows us: Pay players
It’s another year, another dollar (or millions) for John Calipari. The old Kentucky hoops coach has got this recruiting thing down huh? John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight leave. Enter Terrence Jones, Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague. I guess with this revolving door of elite basketball talent, any of else [...]
Suzuki, Darvish, Aoki won’t play in WBC
Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki will not be participating in the World Baseball Classic this summer. “I appreciate being asked to play for Japan again at the WBC,” Suzuki told the Associated Press. “But after the second tournament in 2009 I never considered playing in the third event.” Suzuki, who turns 40 next year, helped Japan [...]

NFL asks judge to dismiss Vilma motion
The saga continues, and no I’m not talking about P.Diddy and the Bad Boy Family. Although, I will say this case “can’t stop, won’t stop” being in the news. Friday, the NFL asked a U.S. District Court judge to dismiss New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma’s motion to have his season-long suspension overturned. The 6-foot-1, [...]
NCAA Investigators spent time at Miami
Not much is known as to why NCAA investigators are at Miami, but Hurricanes fans can’t be happy. Reports surfaced earlier this week that NCAA investigators spent several days in Miami earlier this month. According to sources who informed The Associated Press, the inquiry may involve the school’s compliance department. Standard operating procedure would be [...]
Denver Nuggets waive Chris Andersen
Bad news tends to come in threes. For Denver Nuggets – former – reserve center Chris “Birdman” Andersen, this is number two. He was waived from the team Tuesday. Andersen averaged 5.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.44 blocked shots in 32 games with the Nuggets last season. It was his tenth NBA season. He joined [...]
