« Previous Entries Next Entries »Speaking of the good million dollar athletes could do
Monday, October 17th, 2005Imagine if the New York Yankees players, as a team, contributed 1% of their $210 million payroll to a common cause this year, which King George matched on behalf of the Empire. $4.2 million’s nothing to sneeze at. Now imagine, hypothetically speaking, that Generation Xcel, was that cause. We could operate approximately 56 Xcel After [...]
One of the good guys retired
Monday, October 17th, 2005NBA all-star Allan Houston called it a career today, unable to recover from chronic knee injuries that forced him to miss most of the past two seasons. Houston is one of the good guys of sports, a class act and standout performer who, despite the pressures of a $100 million contract, still earned the respect [...]
Why the Yankees lost
Tuesday, October 11th, 2005- Their vaunted offense forgot how to hit. – Three RBIs from their three 100 RBI men. – Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina performed like bottom-of-the-rotation pitchers when they needed to play like the gazillionaire first and second starters they are. – Roger Clemens, Andy Petite, Orlando “El Duque†Hernandez, and Jose Contreras pitch for [...]
Haters, get over it
Sunday, October 2nd, 2005Haters everywhere mocked for the better part of the entire baseball season that the greatest franchise in the history of professional sports was going to miss the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. A broken pitching staff and ominous Boss would supposedly tarnish the Yankees’ Torre mystique. Then, less than two weeks [...]
As if his credibility wasn’t already shot
Friday, September 23rd, 2005Rafael Palmiero tried to pass the buck for his positive steroid test by blaming a teammate, whose only offense was giving him a vitamin B-12 pill. Enough with the fingerpointing. Update: Orioles tell Palmiero his season’s done.
Third
Wednesday, September 21st, 2005“New York, which won for the ninth time in 10 games, took over the AL East lead from Boston, which lost 7-4 at Tampa Bay. The Yankees had been in sole possession of first place for only two days this season: after an opening night win over the Red Sox and after a July 18 [...]
Things he now talks about
Sunday, September 18th, 2005“The Pro Bowl wide receiver thought he was alone in his inner struggles, and too proud to let any outsiders into his personal prison. But Coles recently decided to free himself of his secret: He was sexually abused as a young boy by his stepfather.” Link.Thank God he’s talking about it.
A wasted talent
Monday, August 22nd, 2005Disgraced hothead Lawrence Phillips (the #6 overall NFL draft pick in 1996) allegedly ran his car into three teens after arguing about a pickup football game.

(I hate to say this, but) Canseco is credible
Monday, August 1st, 2005Disgraced major leaguer Jose Canseco fingered Rafael Palmeiro as a steroid abuser in his infamous best seller, prompting Palmeiro to point his finger at Congress and emphatically declare: “I have never used steroids. Period.” Today, after testing positive under MLB’s new testing program, baseball’s most recent 3000 hits/500 homeruns “hero” amended his denial, ever so [...]
In a class by himself
Sunday, July 17th, 2005I’ve always marveled at Tiger Woods. He’s younger than me, yet he won his tenth golf major this weekend at the British Open, in the same tournament big Jack Nicklaus said was his last. From the greatest to even greater in the same weekend: it’s the perfect passing of the torch. Tiger’s nothing if not [...]
