NBA?? NHL??, Baseball?? All this and more in this weeks edition of…

Is she pretty Harvey?? Who says I can’t like the Coyotes???

I am going with either the Los Angeles Kings or the Phoenix Coyotes to win the Stanley Cup Finals.

I can’t figure out why aren’t the former NFL players who are suing the league for holding back information on concussions to them, aren’t also suing pee wee football, high school football and college football. Surely they too knew the dangers football posed on the kids as they were growing up.

Congrats go out to Art Monk, Phillip Fulmer, Jimmy Johnson, R.C. Slocum, Ty Detmer, Dave Casper, Jonathan Ogden, Charles Alexander, Otis Armstrong, Steve Bartkowski, Tommy Krammer, Scott Thomas, Greg Myers, Hal Bedsole, Gabe Rivera, Mark Simoneau, and John Wooten who were selected to be inducted into the college football Hall Of Fame. Ceremony will take place in December.

Notice the quiet way the San Antonio Spurs are going about their business. You hear talk of the Celtics, Heat, Clippers and Thunder, but nothing on the Spurs. The Spurs sure look like the team to beat in the NBA.

Is it over for the Lakers? I just don’t mean the playoffs. I mean for the future. Has the team seen better days?

I know its early in the season, but see how the Houston Astros have been playing close to .500 ball. I thought they would lose 120 games this year.

Gee are the Twins really this bad??

Another Yankee pitcher down. David Robertson the pitcher who was suppose to replace Mariano Rivera has followed the pitcher to the DL. He suffered a strained left oblique while pitching against the Mariners.

Maybe my team needs to play like the old Rays teams and have some losing seasons so they can get the number one overall pick for like three years in a row.

Got to give the Rays props for building their team through the draft. Sometimes I wish the Yankees would do that, but they can’t afford to do so. 

I just don’t get you Yankee haters. They play by the rules that MLB has put out. If your team if too cheap to pay to win don’t blame the Yankees. They might overpay as the did for A-Rod (But that’s George for you) but in the end they are consistently in the playoffs.

Come on Yankee Hater's give me the real reason who dislike the team??

Thanks to the Angels and Rangers new local TV contract, the Bronx Bombers will be raking in the $$$ on their next contract that would make Los Angles and Texas look poor. 

Til next time

The Miz will be starring in the next Marine movie. The lead role was originally going to Randy Orton. He was removed from the role because he received a bad conduct discharge in 1999 after going AWOL on two separate occasions and disobeying an order from a Commanding Officer. Orton was court-martialed and served 38 days in a military prison.

As you know by now the Bella twins have been fired by EVE during Monday Night Raw last week. The company used that angle because the twins did not renew their contract with the WWE.

John Cena is getting a divorce from his high school sweet heart Liz Huberdeau She has hired the same lawyer that Linda Hogan used and if you remember Linda got almost 70% of what Hogan had..

Mark Henry is having surgery done.

Scott Steiner continues to attach, via twitter, Hogan and Bischoff.

Big Show fired from the WWE??

Was it a shock to see Paul Heyman show up on Raw?

Here is a trivia question:

Which President of the United States was a wrestler??

An awesome card trick?? Syracuse is sexy?? I hate the NY Rangers and NJ Devils?? All this and lots more in this weeks edition of…

Today I am going to do something I very rarely do and that’s talk about every sport except NASCAR. Okay, Okay. Here is my thing on NASCAR. Why can’t Jeff Burton win a race? I watch racing, but I make it a point to focus on Danica Patrick.

Come-on Man!! What were you thinking?? Then again, if this is true, why did you wait a such a long time to state your case about bounties in the NFL?

I am up a lot during the day, so I tend to watch soccer. There are games played from England and Italy that are more entertaining than soap operas and CNN.

Congrats go out to Phil Mickelson, Sandy Lyle, Hollis Stacy, Sportswriter Dan Jenkins and BBC broadcaster Peter Alliss for their induction into the Golfing Hall of Fame this past Monday.

You ever notice that when your favorite basketball, hockey or baseball team loses a game in the early part of the season, we tend to say don’t worry about it, there’s still a whole season to go. Well, what happens when your team just misses the playoffs by one game, or even a half-a-game? Then the games your team lost at the beginning of the season meant something didn’t it?

I hope the Knicks fall on their faces. Coach Mike Woodson has done a great job getting this dysfunctional team to play together SOME OF THE TIME. They got to get rid of one of their three stars.

This you tube video is making the rounds in Syracuse. It’s called “Syracuse Sexy and I Know It.”

There is a cameo by Jim Boeheim, Derrick Coleman and Floyd Little.

Jarret Eaton (senior track and field), Kelly Saco (senior, softball), Erika Wachter (senior field hockey), Will Watson (junior track and field), Amadou Gueye (junior track and field), Donald Pollitt (sophmore track and field) and Otto were the performers in the video.

Do you think Albert Pujols made a mistake in leaving the Cardinals and moving to the American League? I think he would have been better off staying in the National League where he knows the pitchers.

How would you like to go 0 for 8 as a batter and still be the hero. Well that’s what happen to Baltimore Orioles DH Chris Davis. He struck out 5 times. He came in to pitch in the bottom of the 16^th and went two inning for the win. He gave up two hits, walk one and struck out two, era 0.00, batting average .299.

Hammels is a fool. I’m glad Harper stole home. The only thing I would have done differently, after crossing home plate, if I was Harper, would be pointing at Hammel and smiling. Hammels should have been suspended for more than 5 games. See below.

In MLB, when a player, other than a pitcher, is suspended for 5 days that player misses 5 games. When a pitcher is suspended for 5 games, he only misses one start. That bull. A pitcher should be suspended for 5 starts, not 5 games.

How would you like to have a bad week at the plate and still hit .350. Matt Kemp is on a roll batting .404 for the Dodgers. He is proving that last year was no fluke.

Another person off to a great start is Josh Hamilton who has 14 homeruns and 36 rbi’s with a .406 average. To think he lost the first three years of his career to stupidity. He could have had a Hall of Fame Career. Well he be a HOFer??

I don’t like to use the word hate. But this word voices my opinion of the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils hockey teams. These are two of the three teams (the other being the Detroit Red Wings) that ruined hockey. Their free wheeling spending caused the league to shut down for a season.

A friend of mine just sent me this card trick video. You have to check it out, it is awesome.

Wow, I think I did it!!!

I hope every has a great week.

Thanks B.O.B and Average fan Det?? Delmon Young meltdown?? Brooklyn Nets?? The Nets again?? MLB messing around with its scheduling?? All this, and more, in this weeks edition of….

The young girl is Mackenzie Brown she threw a perfect game against a team of boys in 2009. Do you think the Yankees can use her now??

Today we will start off with a proper opening credits brought to you by Gary Shandling.

This has got to be the most ingenious opening credits in the history of television. Simple and to the point.

Now off with the show.

Thanks go out to B.O.B and Average fan Det for calling me out on the Jaguars selection of punter Bryan Anger in the 3^rd round. You guys are right. What was our GM thinking??

I do enjoy your blogs!!

Congrats go out to Jered Weaver who pitched a no-hitter against the Minnesota Twins.

Now to a sad note.

Junior Seau, former star of the San Diego Chargers died at the age of 43 from self inflicted gun shot to the chest.

He played 20 years for three teams, San Diego Chargers (1990-2002), Miami Dolphins (2003-2005) and New England Patriots (2006-2009). Junior was a 12-time Pro Bowl section and a 6-time First team All-Pro, with 18 interceptions and 56 sacks during his playing career.

Seau, is the eighth member of San Diego's lone Super Bowl team who has died, all before the age of 45. Lew Bush, Shawn Lee, David Griggs, Rodney Culver, Doug Miller, Curtis Whitley and Chris Mims are the others. Causes of death ranged from heart attacks to a plane crash to a lightning strike.

My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

The NFL handed down their player suspension for bounty-gate and Saints Johnathan Vilma was hit the hardest suspended for one year without pay. Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove was for the first half of the 16-game season, Saints defensive end Will Smith was barred for the first 4 games and Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita will miss the first three games. All were suspended without pay.

Why couldn’t the suspensions be handed out before the draft so the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns could draft accordingly if they wanted to. Then again why punish those teams when it was the Saints who had the bounty-gate. Suspend 10 Saints players for the season.

Major League baseball suspended Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young seven games without pay following his arrest on a hate crime harassment charge last week in New York City. Young was arrested after a late-night tussle at his hotel during which police say he yelled anti-Semitic epithets. Young is eligible to resume play on May 4^th. He suspension will cost him $257,240. Around 2:30 am last Friday, Young was standing outside the team hotel in New York. Close by, a group of Chicago tourists staying at the hotel were approached by a panhandler wearing a yarmulke and a Star of David around neck, according to the police. Afterward, as the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets, police said. It was not clear whom Young was yelling at, but he got into a scuffle with the Chicago group, and a 32-year-old man was tackled and sustained scratches to his elbows, according to police and the criminal complaint. Young was arrested, police said. Young was first taken to a hospital because he was believed to be intoxicated, police said.

Athletes have got to realize that they are in the spotlight and anything they do or say will be scrutinized.

The moment all of Brooklyn has been waiting for since 1957 when the Brooklyn Dodgers bolted to Los Angeles…..

The Brooklyn Nets are now officially a team. It became official April 30^th. They will be moving into a state-of-the-art Barclay Center when the season begins. They new colors of the team are black and white a far cry from their original red, white and blue colors of their ABA days. The logo on the left will be used at center court and the logo on the right will be used on the teams shorts. There is talk that the word Brooklyn will be on the shirts. Jay-Z helped design the logos.

Going into the 2012-2013, the Nets only have four players signed, MarShon Brooks, Anthony Morrow, Johan Petro and Jordan Williams.

Gerald Wallace has indicated he want’s to stay but is opting out so he can get a multi-year contract for more money.

Deron Williams had indicated he wants to be part of the first team in Brooklyn, but he also wants to play on a winner. He too is opting out and it looks like the Dallas Mavericks are going to go hard after him.

Brad Lopez has indicated he wants to stay, he is a restricted free agent.

Kris Humphries is an unrestricted free agent. The Nets might want to resign him as he has two years in a row that he has average a double-double.

The Net players had over 200 games missed due to injuries. They started over 22 different lineups and had to call up several players from the D-League. Some are saying if the team was healthy they would have been a playoff team and I tend to agree with that.

The Nets are reporting that they gave New Jersey season-ticket holder first dib to renew their tickets for Brooklyn, and out of over 7,000 ticket packages at Prudential Center nearly 1,700 renewed for the Barclay Center.

So now after altering the playoff system, the powers of the baseball world are going to be tinkering with the regular season schedule.

The League is working on eliminating “natural rivals” playing home-and-home, six-game series annually.

This has to do with the Houston Astros moving to the American League next year to balance the leagues to 15 teams.

Nothing has been finalized yet. But there will be changes to the scheduling system.

This is a class act that Tampa Bay Buccaneer’s coach Greg Schiano did Wednesday.

2012 would have been Rutgers University defensive tackle Eric LeGrand graduating year. Eric can not play due to a spinal cord injury that has ended his career. But it did not stop Schiano from signing his former player on May 2^nd to symbolize LeGrand’s college number 52.

The Tampa Bay Coach said "Leading up to the draft, I couldn't help but think that this should've been Eric's draft class. This small gesture is the least we could do to recognize his character, spirit and perseverance. The way Eric lives his life epitomizes what we are looking for in Buccaneer Men."
