Brett Favre Retires

After 17 years Brett Favre retires, no really. I hate to say it, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that I am old. I clearly remember when Brett Favre came into the NFL as an Atlanta Falcon. And think about that, after one year in Atlanta they traded Brett Favre to the Green Bay Packers for a 17th round pick, can you say OOPS.
Being a Dallas Cowboy fan it is pretty obvious that I am not a Green Bay Packer fan, however, if there is one guy I really respect in Pro sports, it is Brett [...]

Dallas Cowboys clinch Playoff berth !

Thanks to Tony Romo and Marion Barber III I have a reason to watch NFL football for the rest of the year (while I wait for Nascar to start up again!). Although I will admit that I would keep watching the New Orleans Saints too !
Being a Drew Bledsoe fan the move to Romo was hard to watch at first, but, this kid looks like the real deal. And Marion Barber has certainly been playing at a top notch level.
Go Dallas Cowboys !

Addidas and Reggie Bush know how to advertise.

Reggie Bush got some extra headlines this week for the $10,000 fine levied on him by the NFL for wearing Addidas cleats in last weeks pre season game.Just goes to show that Addidas may have figured out what The Golden Palace casino learned a long time ago. A different way to advertise.
The NFL only allows players to wear Nike or Reebok shoes during games. So how is another shoe company supposed to make good on endorsements it has with football players? Simple, have them wear your shoes and pay the fine.
Basically Addidas just paid $10,000 for a whole lot of [...]

Matt Leinart finally signed

The first-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals signed a six-year contract.Out of 255 players taken in this years NFL Draft, Leinhart was the last to agree to a contract. Financial terms were not disclosed, but you can be assured it was way too much. ESPN reported that the contract was worth a max of $50 million, yes, $50 million. When the 10th overall pick and the second quarterback taken is worth $50 million there is something out of whack. No wonder the average family can not afford to go to a football game.And how does the 10th pick get almost [...]

Clinton Portis dislocates shoulder

In the first preseason game of the year for the Washington Redskins, Clinton Portis dislocated his shoulder attempting a tackle on a Mark Brunell pass that had been intercepted.An MRI has already confirmed the injury and now it will be a waiting game to see how bad the injury is and how long the rehab will take.The Cincinnati Bengals went on to win the game.

The Saints are holding their Training Camp at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi.

Ready for some Football

It’s that time again. NFL Training Camps are up and running, draft picks are holding out. Old timers are trying to find that new team to help ignite their career one more time.The Top 10 from Draft day are certainly under the microscope, that is, if they showed up to Training Camp yet.

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 [...]

Hook ‘em Horns

Texas 41 - USC 38
How sweet it is !! First college game I have watched in a long time. And well worth the time too. My wife made the comment that it looked like Texas was totally dependent on the play of Vince Young and that made her nervous. Well, true as it was, he came through in the clutch and won the game. Congratulations TEXAS !
USC is no doubt a great team, and this was a great game by all accounts. Matt Leinhart played a great game as did LenDale White & Reggie Bush. This game will certainly go [...]

Back to Work

Finally back to work today. I have been off since last Wednseday, and I was ready to come back to work. Vacation and Holidays always sound great, but, after a few days I am always ready to get back to my regular schedule. I know, I must be sick or something. I really enjoy my work and look forward to each day in the office. Oh yeah, I have those days where I am tired of it, but, for the most part I really like it.
The NFL season is over and my beloved Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs again. [...]

Devils v. Rangers…Giants v. Browns…MLB Playoffs

Oh, today is going to be a fun sports night. Of course, in my mind, it is highlighted by the New Jersey Devils going to the Garden to take on the NY Rangers. It is early in the season, but whenever the team from Newark crosses the Hudson to play the Blueshirts, it is going to be fun. But also on this evening’s sports schedule, the Giants play on Monday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns. While the guy writing in the Sporting News Today wants people to pull for the Browns, please. The

Hopefully, This Delirious Outburst by Lou Holtz Put the Final Nail in the Final Verdict

For whatever reason, ESPN has fallen in love with 71-year-old codger Lou Holtz, even though he’s not nearly as funny as Beano Cook, and most of the time, his analysis leaves the other talking heads on set stifling laughter. Late Saturday night, Holtz lost his shit in the lame “final verdict” segment, apoplectic at the thought that Texas QB Colt McCoy was having a better season than UF’s Tim Tebow. “You’re talking about one game. One damn game,” Holtz blurted, and laughter is heard throughou

Shand Uncensored: Part I

Last week I had the pleasure of sitting down with former WTKA morning show host and former NHL and Michigan hockey player Dave Shand. The 90 minute interview was held at Mac’s in downtown Saline a couple days after Michigan’s stunning loss to Illinois. Shand is in the middle of a lawsuit with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin, who Shand claims directly caused his dismissal from the Ann Arbor radio station. The interview is broken into a few parts, first we’ll start with the basics: What

What's On Tonight: 'War Room' Update and War Results

They sound a little smug now, those behind the scenes workers in Bill Clinton's 1992 bid for the presidency. And they're familiar too - many of the faces graduated to become today's TV pundits including James Carville, Paul Begala and West Hartford native Frank Luntz. But their organization of their political team as "The War Room" (Sundance, 10:30 p.m.) set the tone for campaigns to come on both sides of the aisle. So the filmmakers have gathered the principals back to reminisce back on t

Week 7 College Football Review

Week 7 College Football Review 10/13/08, 7:52 AM Posted by : moneyline Florida Atlantic Owls +3.583 +100 (4) - Loser The extra .083 didn’t make a difference. The Owls had a kickoff bounce off the top of one of their up-men’s head for a Troy recovery, and they also had a made FG ruled no good by the officials. It was not meant to be. Tigers/Cardinals Under 56 -103 (2) - Loser There is a disturbingly strong correlation between my under plays and the occurrence of absurd special team

I Am the Kiss of Death

To the Dallas Cowboys. My first marriage was riddled with many problems, not the least of which was my love of football. The Ex, you see, is the “creative, sensitive” type, and loathes sports. Particularly football. So, I didn’t get to watch a lot of football during our 12-year marriage. And since I didn’t get to watch football, the Cowboys were the best team in the league and won three Super Bowls in 4 years. I missed it all. Thank you, The Ex. Oh, I’ve been around in the years since,

The grass isn’t always greener

The grass isn’t always greener October 13th, 2008 by Cat Envy is one persistent emotion. It’s easy to want what other people have, especially living in Hawai’i. You see friends buying designer handbags that cost more than your monthly car payment. You see cars with surfboards strapped to their roofs as you’re stuck in rush-hour traffic on your way to work. You hear about people with second homes in Kahala and Pupukea while you’re still renting in ‘Ewa Beach. Then you have TV. Everywhere you
