The Sports Blogosphere and Today’s Latest News

And finally, as a tie-into relevant headlines of today, what's really wrong with the sports blogosphere… Because it, like the mainstream sportswriting landscape is filled with and run by far, far too many utterly soulless white people. Because you - the utterly soulless ones - demand that everyone think and perceive just like you. Because there are too many black people who acquiesce ...

The Black Quarterback: Running from the Devil

This is an article that has been on my mind for some time. The subject matter originally was Vince Young and race. You know, black quarterback who, in college is a star - make that super nova. But everyone can see that his mechanics are not those of the "prototypical" QB. In the pros he has a great year and ...

Lookin’ Back

It was about two months ago that I was sitting in the interview conference room of the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. At either end of the roughly 120-foot long room were podiums fronted by rows of chairs, while the center of the room maintained stands for cameras. The center of the room was also broken up by groups of round ...

NFL Draft Diary: Reloaded

There are so many events in the world of sports that are over-hyped to death. Very few of them so much as scratch the surface of their expectations. One of the few that delivers year in and year out, however, is the NFL Draft.I still can't quite put a finger on why the annual selection meeting has become almost as ...

Hart Surgery: Vince & The Draft

Saturday will mark the 70th edition of the NFL Draft, and a more highly anticipated version of it I cannot recall. Maybe it's because media coverage surrounding every sporting event grows in intensity with every passing year, or maybe its because this particular draft class provides as tantalizing a group of top prospects as there has ever been.The hyperbole meter ...

Hart Surgery: RedMo

With the start of the Sweet Sixteen and the second round of the NCAA Tournament this weekend, two of college basketball's brightest stars could conceivably be taking the court for the last time.JJ Redick, the senior sharpshooter and resident Public Enemy #1 for Duke University, and Adam Morrison, the (somewhat) mustachioed offensive genius from Gonzaga, have wowed fans all across ...

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

My roommate Will and I are competitive in everything we do. From golf to scrabble, from bowling to poker, you name it we are out to take each other down. I mention this because recently we have been trying to one-up one another in Text Twist, a game easily found on the internet that requires you to scramble six letters ...

NFL Combine Speculation At Full Throttle

There's a peculiar feel to the NFL Combine. It's not that it isn't important, but if there is a more speculative media event that has ever been conceived, (aside from an Oscars pre-party) I'd like to know where it is.And who caters it. At one point this weekend, I found myself ten feet in front of Tony Dungy's podium, and ready ...

Mike Davis “Resignation” No Racial Divide

I don't know what's worse, the fact that Wayne Gretzky's wife, Janet Jones, gambled half-a-million dollars on pro football, or the fact that The Great One never noticed that his wife gambled half-a-million dollars on pro football....Even if Darko Milicic finally gets to play significant minutes after being traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Orlando Magic this week, I ...

Blips, Blurbs & Blasts

OK, Tom Brady, let's review. Your team has won three of the last four Super Bowls, and you've been the MVP in two of those games. Most football experts believe that the Patriots are the only team with any chance of knocking the Colts out of the postseason. You are currently dating Bridget Moynahan, one of the most drop-dead gorgeous ...
