LATEST STORIES FROM SPORTS FROG
Good Lord
Been awhile since I have seen anything quite like that. In the NFL anyway. College football? Sure. The NFL? At that position? Probably since when Steve Young was doing his thing. I picked a bad night to be up 60 fantasy points on an opponent that had Vick and Desean Jackson at any rate…Sam Donnellon [...]

I have just about had my capacity to give a **** about the sports teams I truly care about completely drained. In fact, I would just like them to stop kicking me at this point. It hurts enough already.
**** you Cincinnati Reds through two games of the NLDS. **** you Cincinnati Bengals and dumb ******* [...]

2010 NFL Week 4 Morning After: Some Local Takes
The most interesting local reads this morning? For my money, how about Chicago, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Go:
—Chicago, where Jay Cutler absorbed nine of the Giants’ ten sacks, Dan Pompei in the Chicago Tribune is assigning blame:
If the Martz offense is going to bring out the best in Cutler, it would be nice if it [...]

No Bonus Baseball
Soooo close to a delightful two-day three-team bonus scrum for the playoffs in the National League. Fitting that it should come up short in the end because the Padres couldn’t score some runs. The Braves won early, hanging on after they tried to choke an 8-2 lead. Fortunately for them, clinging to a one-run lead [...]

Tiger Woods contemplating the Violent Femmes’ question from Add it Up…
As for the golf, every time I tried to find a minute to watch and work up some care about it, it was raining. And, apparently, when it stopped raining yesterday (or lightened up enough to play) the US spent the day choking on their [...]

2010 NFL Week 4 Morning After: The National Take
Long field goals, huge individual performances, offenses DOA, and after it all shakes out, the idle Kansas City Chiefs the sole remaining undefeated team. On to the chatter:
—Don Banks in si.com as usual leads us off with Snap Judgments and he’s taking an early victory lap for his pre-season pimping of the Ravens among other [...]

Tough Draw for the Phillies
The Reds OWN them in the post-season. And memories of that three-game sweep in the NLCS in 1976 have to be fresh on the mind of every Phillie player. Particularly blowing a 6-4 lead in game three on back-to-back ninth inning homeruns from George Foster and Johnny Bench before losing the game and series on [...]

Mike Singletary Still Finger-Pointing
It’s not enough that he threw his hand-picked offensive coordinator under the bus, now he is driving the bus back and forth over the fired Jimmy Raye in a manner that is past abuse-of-corpse territory. From Matt Barrows in the Sacramento Bee:
Mike Singletary insists he didn’t decide whether to fire Jimmy Raye until the wee [...]

Doc Rivers Says…
…the corpse of Kevin Garnett has been re-animated. Quoth the Celtics coach:
So imagine Rivers’ excitement after two days of training camp and Garnett, one year older, actually looks healthier than he did last season. “He’s explosive, especially defensively,” Rivers said. “He outran guys in our scrimmage earlier at least three times. This was great: One [...]

2010 MLB Season: Four Days to Go Edition
San Diego, Atlanta and San Francisco all win last night. Braves are off tonight. Branves 1 1/2 games up on the Padres for the Wild Card and the Giants two games up on the Padres in the NL West. To give this weekend maximum intrigue, a Padres win and a Giants loss tonight would do [...]

Indulge Me?
This doesn’t come around for Reds fans often. And getting there on a walk-off from Jay Bruce in front of the home crowd? Pretty damn awesome.
Last time the Reds made the playoffs my daughter was two months old. She’s 15 now. So it has been a minute or two…

2010 MLB Season: Six Days to Go Edition
Atlanta wins in 11. San Diego loses in 9. All because Atlanta can score two runs, but the Padres cannot even muster one. Story of the San Diego season if they fall short. And, as of this morning, they are short. 1 game behind the Giants for the division and 1/2 game behind the Braves [...]

2010 NFL Week 3 Tuesday Morning After: News and Notes
Better to be lucky than good? Actually, probably better to be lucky and good. The Bears get to spend the next couple of months figuring out which one of those they are. But, good or not, they are 3-0 and on top of the NFC North after last night’s somewhat entertaining 20-17 win over Green [...]

NBA Stuff as Camps Open
The chatter and some good reads around the Association as the coronation in Miami gets ready to open:
—Carmelo Anthony still a Nugget. And may be for awhile, because he won’t agree to necessarily sign a contract with whoever might acquire him. Hard to blame him, free agency is his right and it’s built into the [...]

2010 MLB One Week to Go Edition
The playoff race boils down to this:
Three for two in the NL.
The American League will indeed be Minnesota/Texas/New York/Tampa in some order.
The National League will have Philadelphia and Cincinnati (with one more win or one more Cards loss. Even for the Reds, I have to admit that this appears to be happening for the [...]

2010 NFL Week 3 Morning After: Mike Tannenbaum Logic Edition
Quoth the Jets’ GM Sunday morning before Braylon Edwards’ first quarter benching last night:
“We felt he didn’t deserve to start … not for the arrest as much as going out and being out until obviously 5 in the morning,”
Oh. Because he was out late. Didn’t he also have one of the team’s starting tackles [...]

2010 NFL Week 3 Morning After: Local Look Train Wreck Edition
And what are the train wrecks? To my mind’s eye, San Francisco, San Diego, Washington and New York (Giants edition) for a variety of reasons. What they are saying in:

2010 NFL Week 3 Morning After: The National Take
The Steelers still look like the class of the AFC if not the NFL, Sebastian Janikowski kicked field goals like he was on roofies, the Cowboys come off an early death bed impressively, and the 49ers appear to be murdering their season and right early. Those story lines among others coming out of week three. [...]

The Latest to Make an Easy Call
Erick Dampier.
Probably. He’s a free agent. He’s 35. He’s even more a supporting role player than he was in his prime, but still pretty damn valuable on the blocks and in sweeping the glass. Where to go, if you are Dampier and you have made millions and millions in your career but don’t have a [...]

Penguins players complain about condition of the new home ice.
Penguins play first game of NHL exhibition season on the new home ice.

Baseball News and Notes: Bautista Hits 50 Edition
Yeah, 50. Strangest power outburst to that number since Brady Anderson, clearly. But how strange? The incomparable Joe Posnanski ranks the 32 flukiest homerun seasons via his reckoning and a formula he came up with. Which he doesn’t exactly remember. But he consulted with Bill James on it, so I bet it was a good [...]

So much for new Giants safety Antrelle Rolle just fitting in with his new teammates and seeing how things are. One win, one loss, and a cocksure idea about what ails the Giants. Quoth Rolle:

The Philadelphia Daily News Goes There
Subtle.
And I guess, to the national chattering class, stunning. For my part, it seems straightforward in that Andy Reid et al have determined Mike Vick gives them their best chance to win right now. And given that the NFC East all of a sudden seems there for the taking thanks to the Cowboys’ issues, a [...]
