The Commish IS to Blame
Let me preface this article by saying that I'm not big on blaming people. I would rather just acknowledge the problem and work on a solution. ....but Bud Selig is just asking for it. In this article on ESPN.com, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig says he doesn't deserve to be blamed for the rampant use of steroids in basebal

A-Rod and the Morality Clause
Come on, you knew I couldn't completely avoid it. How could I? To date, it's the biggest off-the-field sports story of 2009. The photos of American wonderboy Michael Phelps taking bong hits is a close second -- and I haven't written about that one either. Not sure if I will.
As for A-Rod, I was listening to Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio yesterday

Football Player's Heat Stroke Death Leads to Indictment
This past August, Max Gilpin, a 15 year-old high school football player in Kentucky, died of heat stroke during a preseason practice. He is one of 6 athletes, which were confirmed to have died from heat stroke in the United States in 2008. Such deaths are relatively rare, but unfortunately seem to occur a few times each year.

Steroids, Pro Wrestling, Pacman, Madonna and Congress
Breaking news! Pro wrestlers use steroids. I think that's kind of like saying the North Pole is cold.... Tony Dungy was a legendary coach... or Pacman Jones is a tomfool. Everyone knows pro wrestlers use steroids. I use the term "pro wrestling" quite begrudgingly. While they may be pro when compared to some of the backyard antics you'll find on YouTube, (Check it out

Blazers Blowing Smoke Over Miles?
I just noticed that the headline for most of my stories is phrased as a question. I can assure you, this is completely unintentional. Is it annoying to you as a reader? Does anyone else do this? Why do I do this? Do I answer my own questions? Isn't that one of the signs of insanity? Why must everything be a question? I'm sure a shrink could give me an explanation. Anyway, that's no

Telmex F1?
Yesterday it was widely reported that Carlos Slim had agreed to purchase the assets of Honda's now defunct F1 team. For those that don't follow Forbes' list of richest people in the world, Mr. Slim is #2.

Impartial Arbitration in NFL?
As I'm sure you've read on every sports website, yesterday U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson upheld the NFLPA's injunction against the NFL.
