NFL - Race an issue
I really do not understand this. Why do people have to be racially motivated to stir up trouble. In an article on ESPN by Michael Smith, he says…
“And so the NFL’s diversity record remains six African-American coaches out of 32. A disappointing loss and an opportunity lost, for sure. But as can be the case with blowouts, minority coaches’ going one-for-nine (and counting) isn’t as bad as it looks.” Link - Race an issue, but networking is still the key
Why is this even a statement? If he checked the population records he would find that the African Amercian population stands [...]

A “Gentleman’s Game” Indeed
You may have already heard about golfer J.P. Hayes, whose honesty last week wound up costing him a shot on the PGA tour: Hayes shot a 74 Wednesday and a 71 on Thursday, putting him in good shape to finish in the top 20 and advance to the final qualifying stage in December. But on Thursday night in his hotel room, Hayes realized that [an] errant golf ball might not have been on the approved list. “It was a Titleist prototype, and somehow it had gotten into my bag,” he said, according to the J
We Can’t Call Everyone “The Big 3″
AP Photo My buddy Joe emailed me a rant that I think needs to be shared. I happened to have the ESPN NBA pregame show on tonight and all throughout they kept referring to the big 3… that would be McGrady, Ming, and Artest of the Houston Rockets. Are you kidding me? Has this been the case since the start of the season? The Big 3 is a legendary Celtics moniker, that was reborn last season when the Celtics got 3 legit stars. McGrady is an all-star, but Yao is just a guy who’s always hurt th

FSD History Flashback: November 20, 1982
Make photo slide shows at www.OneTrueMedia.com Hello, I'm David Funk, and welcome to this edition of FSD History Flashback for November 20. Today's FSD History Flashback is a play that has been seen time and time again in highlights. It is also one that was difficult to imagine when it happened. On November 20, 1982, the Stanford Cardinal were at Berkley to take on the California Golden Bears in the "Big Game", and the conclusion was quite possibly the most talked about in sports history. Ov
Killer Content
One of the first sessions as PRWeek’s Next Conference yesterday was “Killer Content.” Moderated by Marian Salzman, CMO at Porter Novelli, the panel featured quite an array of speakers: Bonnie Fuller, former editorial director of American Media and founder of Bonnie Fuller Media; Bill Persky, screenwriter famous for his work on “That Girl” and “Kate and Allie”; and Michael Zimbalist, VP of R&D for The New York Times Co. Fuller caught my attention the minute she said that she owed a great de
The reason behind the reason
Past sending a message to other agents that it’s “my way or the highway”, there’s more to the AKA hitjob than being sick of a specific agent. Many of us have been saying that lifetime videogame rights are a pretty strange straw to break the camel’s back. But it looks like that straw might actually be an anvil in the form of THQ being pissed off that the UFC misrepresented the situation to them on fighter rights: It appears that the UFC may have gotten itself into a bit of a predicament as sour
King Hal
I’ve been saying this for nonths, but now it is official: Hal Steinbrenner has taken over control of the New York Yankees. MLB owners approved a change of control from his father George, to Hal. Here is the story from ESPN: NEW YORK — Major League Baseball owners approved the shift of control of the New York Yankees from George Steinbrenner to his son, Hal, on Thursday. Hal Steinbrenner and his brother, Hank, took over most of the daily operation of the Yankees from their father last fall.
Ocho Cinco Benched For Being Imbecile
In late breaking news (stolen shamelessly from ESPN’s never-ending crawl of doom), the Bengals have deactivated star wide receiver/flamboyant showman/obnoxious twat Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco for tonight’s tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The story posted on ESPN did not elaborate as to why the World’s Greatest Wide Receiver (who’s caught only 4 touchdowns) was banished to the bench except to say he “violated team rules.” Speculation runs rampant on the blogosphere as to which rule Chad b
Interview with Tom Crean at ESPN the Mag
On top of the blogging I do on these here Internets, I also throw on the Real Journalist cap here and there at ESPN the Mag as a contributing writer. I had the opportunity to speak to Tom Crean last week, and the interview ran today. Here’s a quick quote from Crean on his relationship with T to the Izzo from it: I’m in (Tom Izzo’s) backyard if I’m at Indiana, but when he’s at Indiana, he’s in our backyard. It’s just one of those types of situations. Nothing will ever change or affect our frien

Slim Pickings: Change we can all get behind
Politics are a sticky matter. A political debate can easily ruin the mood of a party. Emotions flair and tempers rage all over stuff that probably won’t affect our day-to-day lives. Your thoughts on Obama aside, I think we all know the guy knows how to make a splash. On Election Night Eve, he did a rather mundane, cookie cutter interview with Chris Berman on Monday NIght Football. Well, mundane and cookie cutter until he threw this little nugget in. Yep, he just hit on the most controversial

Good Morning Hoops Nation: November 20
NEW YORK CITY -- I didn't get a chance yesterday, but I wanted to thank all the folks who stopped by during the ESPN SportsNation chat component of the College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon. I ran the anchor leg and I held it down mid-major style for two hours, and I noticed a couple of things. First, having some sort of opening day for our sport is absolutely crucial, an announcement that We're Back. It was obvious that a lot of casual fans noticed, and a lot of people came out of the woodwork and w
