Plaxico Release after 20 months
Plaxico Burress got out of prison 4 months earlier than most of us expected. To top it off, he was released early for good behavior!!! Who would have thunk it. Plaxico and behaving are not on the same planet. I must say, prison, like time, brings on changes. I only hope that the NFL sees it that way and allows him to get picked up by a team.Right now it looks as if the Eagles have first dibs, but I think that Plaxico will be better suited in St Louis with the Rams for three reasons: Former team mate Fred Robbins Former defensive coordinator with the Giants, Steve Spagnuola, and … [Read More...]
Why Strip USC of the 2004 BCS Title?
The NCAA, BCS and all of those collegiate organizations who profit from athletes playing for no pay need to take a good look at themselves. You use these students for your advantage and when something goes wrong, you are quick to punish the student and not the system. Yes, I know.

The Heat thought that slowing down the game would give them the easy victory since they were up … [Read More...]

NBA, Game 1 Final
Coach Carlisle, the Mavs did not lose the first game. You did. Throughout the first half your team played zone instead of man to man, and you literally stymied the Heat offense. For some unknown reasons, you came out with a man to man defense and the Heat destroyed you simply because they were able to get into the paint and the perimeters were left wide opened. Just like in football, defense … [Read More...]
