I have to say, after listening to Scott Ferrall on Sirius Satellite Radio for the past few months I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed his show (M-F 8PM on 101) until this evening when some hack was filling in for him.

Athletes Just Don’t Die
I’m busy dodging the treacly stories on Jon Lester’s triumphant return to health/MLB/no-hit status. Not because I’m a bitter cynic (which I am) but because this story’s Hollywood ending was never in doubt…

How Would You Score On The Wonderlic?
Since I assume that the majority of the readers of this blog would not be able to compete in the 40 yard dash, the leaping competition or the bench press, let’s see how you would score on the Wonderlic test.

The Ultimate Act of Sportsmanship
Sometimes I will admit I rag on girls for playing sports, but realistically one look at Jenny Finch striking out major league ballplayer after major league ballplayer and my point gets pretty washed away.

NBA Lottery Betting
Well you can bet on the next President of the United States, when the first Mars landing will come to fruition and now as a natural progression why not bet on the outcome of the NBA draft lottery.

T-Shirt Is Funny - Get Over It
Apparently people have gotten to the point where we can fully not take a joke any more. Papa John’s Pizza issued an apology to Cleveland and the Cavaliers for making T-shirts…

Zack Greinke - Great Comeback Story
If you want to read the story of a true human being and not just an athlete, then Zack Greinke is your man. As previously noted here, Greinke is more than just a tremendous baseball talent.

Clemens To Drop Suit?
Listen, I’m no lawyer, oh ya yes I am. So Roger Clemens is finally considering throwing in the towel on his defamation suit against Brian McNamee.
May 3rd, 2008 | Michael | 0 comments | ContinuedMr. Green - Super Jew
An interesting article from the New York Times about Shawn Green and his moving to the New York Mets. The jist of the article is that Green is the best Jewish ball player since Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg. Being a Blue Jays fan and growing up in Toronto, I had the pleasure of seeing [...]
August 29th, 2006 | Michael | 0 comments | ContinuedFat Pitchers
There was a story in the news a couple of weeks ago about a push to have the words “fat” and “obese” expunged from the vernacular. Apparently there’s a stigma involved in clinical and lay-terms alike when it comes to being overweight. My guess is that’s not the case with MLB pitchers. With obesity stats. [...]

After watching AJ Burnett land on the 15 day DL with yet another bout of elbow trouble I realized that first of all, this could be one of the most expensive doctor visits of all time ($55 million is riding on it) but my curiosity actually picked up more on the fact that for as [...]

For my money, the best hockey action pic since Eastman met Kodak.
Credit to David Bloom, who took the picture. The guy getting stung is Saskatchewan Huskies student trainer Davin Peterson. No, not the guy crumpled on the ice…the guy on the bench who looks like he just stepped on the third rail. This is [...]

Athletes usually need their agent’s to help them negotiate contracts, but Andre Kirilenko may have negotiated the greatest (sorry I am a guy afterall) contract himself. No I’m not talking about his contract with the Jazz or some endorsement deal, the contract is a little one at home with his wife.
According to the Salt [...]
JR - Self Proclaimed Best American
If you follow hockey on any level whatsoever or if you caught Sportscenter after the American Olympic Hockey Team was announced, you would know that Jeremy Roenick was pissed and called his not being picked for the Olympic team the biggest snub of his career. Recently David Amber (formerly of TSN and now on ESPN [...]
January 12th, 2006 | Michael | 1 comment | ContinuedStanding Room Only
Platinum tickets for the upcoming January 28th tilt between the Maple Leafs and Canadiens will cost you $700 for a pair. If you’re interested in watching the game on your feet you can shell out $175 for a couple of standing-room-only ducats.
You’re watching the same game, only you’re standing. Is that worth $535 to [...]
Do Sports And Reality Mix?
In the wake of another Todd Bertuzzi-induced fiasco (this one stemming from his appointment to the Canadian Olympic Team), I figured it’s time to ask a question I’ve rarely heard discussed. I tuned into the FAN590 this morning (the local Toronto-based talk-radio station), and was amazed, again, to hear the depth of people’s emotional investment [...]

Yao’s Big Toe, And The Weird (And Maddening) World Of Sports Injuries
Am I advocating amputation? Let’s back up for a second. By now you might have heard that Yao Ming, all 7′6″ of him, is going to be out “several weeks” with an infected toe. He underwent surgery today (20/12/05) in Houston and is going [...]
Drew Rosenhaus For President…Of Something
Yes, he’s also a lawyer. Drew Rosenhaus must have decided it was time to show off that new haircut. The fact that the guy could stand on Terrell Owens’s lawn, in front of a microphone, and declare in true Lincolnian fashion, “I love this man!” just goes to show this ain’t reality TV.
A [...]
Larry Rodriguez vs. Kenny Rogers
We all remember Larry Rodriguez. Well, maybe you don’t recognize the name, but you remember the story: he’s the TV cameraman who was shoved by Kenny Rogers.
Rodriguez filed a lawsuit yesterday in a Tarrant County, Texas court, alleging Rogers injured him in an unprovoked attack.
Now the only thing missing from this story is the six-figure [...]
