Top Cuse WR Mike Williams Quits the Team, Leaves Syracuse Offense in the Dust
Earlier today Syracuse’s top wideout, and arguably their best athlete and offensive threat, made his way into Doug Marrone’s office. Junior Mike Williams told his coach he was quitting the team. As of yet, the reason for this decision hasn’t been made public. Williams had never been the best student, and rumors suggest that his declining grades are behind his unexpected...

Red Sox Used a Steroid Doctor? Now That Makes Sense.
Lou Merloni let this bomb fly over the weekend: Back when we was
with the team (though he doesn't remember what year) a doctor addressed
the team about steroids and how to use them. Or perhaps how to not
abuse them. Some people may see this as Boston's promotion of steroid
use or complacency with the problem.
In reality, it's just the opposite. It's being realistic.
This was a smart...

Joba Tips the Bottle, Opens up About Life In New York
April 8, 2009– Apparently a little booze goes a long way in getting
Yankee’s right-hander Joba Chamberlain to open up. Like a half-empty
bottle of Crown Royal on his passenger seat, for example.
Pulled over for speeding last October in Lincoln, Nebraska, Joba
first assumed the cop knew who he was. “I came from Florida,”
Chamberlain said, “and obviously I play for the Yankees...

Yes, Selig, the Steroid Era is 100% Your Fault*
(Warning: This article uses CAPS very liberally. Think of it as words on steroids.)
Selig, thanks for the Steroid Era. You came out this week and said
it wasn’t your fault. Guess what. It was, and it is. You were in
charge. Why you’re still in charge, I have no idea. You’re the one
responsible for the blackest eye in the history of professional
baseball. You pretending...

Boeheim, Fatherhood Push Trio of Orange Stars towards NBA Draft
APRIL 10, 2009– The Syracuse Orange are going to have a new look
next year. Smiling sophomore superstar Jonny Flynn, ladies’ man Eric
Devendorf and budding musical artist Paul Harris have all announced plans to test the tepid waters of the NBA draft.
As for getting his tandem of stars to stick around, long-time Orange

Jason Campbell, Meet the Real Dan Snyder
“It definitely was a shock,” Campbell said, “when I started hearing
Sanchez talk.” This was only a few weeks after the Skins lost out on
Cutler to the Bears.
So who Does Jason Campbell Think He Is? Brett Favre? Tom Brady? Dan
Marino? Last time I checked, he was none of these people. Not even
close.
Last time I checked, Jason Campbell was not a Pro Bowl quarterback....

Last week were reminded that sports are nothing more than a business. Elton Brand supposedly had an agreement to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers, only to sign a five-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Horsemen, Two Tracks End Battles, But War Isn't Over

Picking the All-Star Teams: American League
The fact that the league that wins the Major League Baseball All-Star game gets home-field advantage in the World Series might be the dumbest rule in all of sports. The NBA's big mid-season event doesn't determine who has home court in the Finals, and neither does the NHL's when it comes to the Stanl...
