If Ben Roethlisberger or Carl Edwards Looked Like Brittney Griner…
Brittany Griner grabs a rebound over Jordan Barncastle. Earlier his season I openly wondered two things about NCAA basketball: 1) Why the game officials were allowing so much physical play to occur and 2) Musing that, because of the referees refusal to put an end to the constant banging and bumping, it was a miracle there were no major fights in [read more...]
Tiger Woods, the Aftermath
The 12-step program for Co-Dependents of Sexual Addicts reads: 1. We admitted we were powerless over compulsive sexual behavior — that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God. 4. Made [read more...]
Of the Sports Godhead Network and Tiger Woods (of ESPN and public and not-so public lynchings)
Ever wonder what his young mind was really thinking about being thrust into the public's eye at age, before anyone will even listen to him? Thursday afternoon, Steve Bunin hosting Outside the Lines, asked this question about Tiger Woods’ pending Friday at 11 A.M. press conference: And isn’t opening himself up to a roomful of reporters and taking their questions for an [read more...]
Vonn had shot at another gold, but falls.
In the super-combined, Lindsey Vonn led after the downhill portion, but clipped a gate and fell in the slalom part (the 2nd and final half). Teammate Jill Mancuso, who finished second to Vonn in the downhill, picked up another silver medal, only this time finishing second to Maria Riesch of Germany, who just happens to be Vonn’s best friend. Afterwards, Vonn [read more...]
Short Notes: Tiger (with more info), MLB, Olympics, 2 New NBA Trades (more to come)
Lindsey Vonn after her Gold Medal run in the Women's Downhill. Tiger Woods is holding a press conference Friday at 11 A.M.: “While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him,” Mark Steinberg said in an [read more...]
A target on his back.
I’m not one for braggadoccio, although I did like Ali. But the Reggie/Manny “stand and admire my HR,” Buddy and Rex Ryan statements, Miami Hurricanes of the day…that kind of me-first, my s**t don’t stink attitude isn’t me. I’m more the shut up and get it done type. It’s why I like Mo, Jeter, etc. Class personified. Girardi doesn’t fall into the Rex or [read more...]
Coonin’, on a Sunday Afternoon
Yes they do... both Black and White. Paul Mooney said it best in “Why We Laugh: Black comedians on Black comedy”: “They know what they’re doing… It takes practice to coon.” And the practice of cooning occurs across the board in America. Politicians coon -just ask Michael “You aren’t going to blow my high, baby” Steele. Entertainers coon – ask way too many [read more...]
More on Monahan
In today’s NY Post, Paul O’Neill and David Cone talk about the importance of guys behind the scenes…the trainers. The Yankees have been fortunate to have Gene Monahan as head trainer for 38 years. They are just as fortunate that with Monahan out for a while, that assistant Steve Donohue has been there 25 years, so the transition should go smoothly until Gene [read more...]
Jemele Hill, Tim Tebow, and Church: Apocalypse Anyone?
James Dobson, speaking during a "Yes on 8" prayer event held in San Diego in 2008. The ballot initiative banned same-sex marriage in California. For various reasons I generally steer clear of ESPN.com. However, I was sent an e-mail asking me to read Jemele Hill’s latest column. Her subject? Tim Tebow. The headline? “Laud the Courage in Tim Tebow’s Stand,” with [read more...]
Early candidates for 2010 SI Sportsman of the Year?
Brett Favre already won SI’s Sportsman of the Year in 2007. That’s not to say that he can’t win it again should he be raising the Lombardi Trophy in a couple of weeks. After all, Tiger Woods won it twice (and no, not for what he was doing in the bedroom). No, the early candidates for 2010 SI Sportsman of the Year [read more...]
