Apparently, Peyton Manning did not enjoy seeing Michael Phelps win eight gold medals at the Olympics without being able to do something about it. Oh well, at least he performed better on Saturday Night Live.Refusing to stand idly by Mr. Manning has decided to put his stamp of approval on a petition to get the Olympic Committee to include American football on its list of sports. And based on his words at weplay.com, it sounds like he's pretty damn serious about the whole thing.And if you don't agree, then you're obviously being completely bogus.(In the interest of disclosure, in the e-mail I received pertaining to this I was offered a $25 gift certificate to Eastbay for posting the "widget". However, putting this up for humor far outweighs any credit at Eastbay.)

Arkansas Hawks Banquet
Today I went to Little Rock Arkansas for a banquet with my old AAU team the Arkansas Hawks. I was surprised to see so many people come out, the ages were from 8 to 17.

I will be attending a Peyton Manning...
HopefullyTHIS will get Sean Salisbury fired
If ESPN did not already employ Emmitt Smith, they would have the worst on-air personality in one Sean Salisbury. Last year he said Peyton Manning "jewed" his way down the field in the AFC title game, then there was the taking pictures of his junk and showing it off to co-workers. Now he has insulted John Clayton. On 4 downs, he called Clayton the "crypt keeper"...

No Apologies
There has been a lot of talk about the interview I did on HBO's Real Sports.
I have no apologies. I was asked a variety of questions and I answered them.
The fact that the producers and publicists at HBO decided to focus on those
answers that related to race shows that it remains a hot topic in society
today.
Let me address some feedback...

Drew Henson set to Sign with the Colts
The Colts QB of the future...in 10 years? It appears he missed too much developmental time in both baseball and football to ever reach the potential some thought he had in Michigan. Maybe it's for the best for everyone involved to take the 'QB of the future' tag off of him and see if he can carve out a career as a backup. The Colts will suit just Peyton Manning and...

Sometime between the hours of, oh, 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. tomorrow, the Sick of Sidney Crosby Society's power will reach critical mass.
