I haven't respected Mike Vick for awhile. But I didn't hate the guy. He was more just a joke for me because all of his controversial actions were just stupid. He had the James Bond-esque water bottle that was...
Last year, the first home run the Mets hit was off the bat of David Wright. This year, David Wright is the only starter not to hit a home run. The rest of the lineup has. Reserve Damion Easely...
No matter what anyone tells you about the Texans' decision to draft Mario Williams over Reggie Bush, believe this one thing: it was all over money. All things being equal, the Texans would rather have had Bush, but they...
When you're a member of the media, if you've got a scoop, it's best to break it in a timely fashion. Not...say...3 years after the fact. The great story we were talking about the other night was that famous...
I know it sounds like I only bring up baseball here to knock the Yankees. I'm sure some portray me as one of those stereotypical, unimaginative blind Yankee-haters. Not true. I don't hate the Yankees. Mainly, I hate their...
Joe Thomas' decision to forego the glitz of the NFL draft weekend in New York for a fishing trip with his father has raised a curious, unexpected stink. Actually, maybe it's not so unexpected, as I get the feeling...
All is well. A few days ago, with the Devils staring down the barrel of a 2-1 series deficit, looked dead in the water. Martin Brodeur was off his game, the offense couldn't outwork the Lightning forecheck, and Vincent Lecavalier...
I don't typically like to get too newsy or serious here. I mean, in the wake of something as awful as the Virginia Tech shooting, what am I supposed to say? Nick Dallamora, however, has plenty of interesting, insightful...
_image_02.jpg&autoPlay=0" /> _image_02.jpg&autoPlay=0" > A lot of ink (do computers have ink inside of them?) has been spilled about EA's decision to place Vince Young on the cover of Madden 2008. Forget about the curse, I think the downfall...
The news that Yahoo(!) Sports has bought Rivals.com for $100M is further proof: anyone with a website -- about anything from scouting prep football players to the Rottweiller's susceptibility for hip displacia -- can sell it for a lot...
The NHL playoffs are upon us. Tonight, the Devils start their journey towards the holiest of grails with a tilt against the Tampa Bay Lightning. I, frankly, am urinous with anticipation. The NHL has, bar none, the best playoffs of...
The shiny new (and excellent) NHL FanHouse brings good news regarding the typically terrible TV coverage of hockey in America -- we get Don Cherry! NBC doesn't do hockey terribly -- Doc Emrick certainly helps -- but I still...
I was flipping through the channels last night and decided to stick with David Letterman for Andrew Bird (who, as you can see above, was awesome), but there was a bonus to be found. The show had a pre-taped...
NFL Commisioner Roger Goodell decided to take a stand on off-the-field transgressions that seems to be plaguing the league. He chose the two with the most well-known troubles and showed them, and the league, how he would tolerate them....
For awhile, Sam Cassell held one of the NBA's most well-known awards. Not MVP. Not 6th Man of the Year. Nope, he's held the NBA's Ugliest Man Award. This used to be a highly-debated point when I was in...
Nicknames should be sacred. They are, amongst most guys. Take me and Tom for example. All of our friends call Tom, Tom4. Why? Don't ask. Nonetheless, if someone else named Tom wanted to be called Tom4, I'd have to...
The baseball season is now four days old, and there's a lot of ball to be played this season. As is the case with baseball more than any other sport, teams will come on strong, teams will falter, players...
My two favorite things on the planet are sports and music. Even though it obviously doesn't apply, to me the stereotype still sticks out that music geeks, the real hip brainiac types (not the salt of the Earth music...
I don't think I've touched college basketball all season, except for the glorious "This Is Why You Suck" video. Well, apologies. The truth is, I absolutely cannot sit through a college basketball game. It's tough enough for me to...
When I saw "Devils" in the top stories on the front page of ESPN.com, I knew something was afoot. It could have been one of two things -- that I had missed the word "Blue" and it was another...
This is my first of many Mets-related posts to come this season so get pumped. I was all ready for Opening Day. I had purchased my black Reyes jersey, the Mets boxers were ready, and I was wearing my...
As far as I'm concerned basketball has two redeeming qualities: Gilbert Arenas and buzzer-beaters. Rejoice....
I've been trying to get more recognition for the wonderful game of hockey for years. Hasn't happened. Even in the midst of a 30+ year record on the brink of destruction by not one but TWO goalies, you've got...
An Opening Night victory over the Cardinals probably does little to appease the pain of last year's season-ending playoff strikeout, but baseball means that spring is upon us, and spring equals hope. With last night's 6-1 victory over the...
