I started thinking about just how much money the Milwaukee Brewers are flushing away as their prized Closer sits on the bench, since putting him in the game holds the risk of another blown save. More on that later. I realized he was making $10,000,000 dollars this year. He is basically...

Media Bias, Check. Continually Overrated, Check. 9 Consecutive Bowl Losses, Check. Undeserving Heisman Winners, Check. This list very well could have had 25 reasons, but I didn't want to mention them in another Top 25 list despite the fact it would be the only one they deserved...

In case some of you didn't know, I'm a huge College Football Fan. To save you, the avid fan, the trouble, I'm letting you know which games to watch out for in '08 and Arizona and Notre Dame don't crack the list, other than their individual rivalry games. So without...

LeBron James is Ohio born and bred, a true american hero. A basketball progidy from the get-go he lived out every kids' dream going straight to the big show, and brought his team to the NBA Championship series. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of endorsements that he's...

In Cleveland and Boston he wore Two Four but couldn't upon his arrival to LA (Hall of Fame Manager Walter Alston). So after a couple different back and forths with the Dodger Higher Ups they settled on 99. An odd choice for a ball player, especially one of his Caliber. Typically...

About a month ago I dropped upon thee my Revamped Top 25, the second in a series of my College Football Top 25s. Of course The Original Top 25 came back in January when we didn't know too much about the 2008 College Football season, but my second round of picks weren't too...

After looking over the coaches that are participating in the USA Today Poll there were two things that immediately came to my mind. First: Why don't all of the coaches in the BCS conferences vote? Second: Why is Notre Dame eligible to vote? Why Should Charlie Weis whose team is...

After the release of the Preseason Top 25 by USA Today, or as they like to call it "The Coach's Poll" I started to wonder how much bias comes into play. Not only in terms of which coaches get to participate, but how many representatives from each conference they allow...

If things continue the way they have this season, it sure would be nice to see that on the front page of the Trib in September. Of course it would be the subheading under the gigantic print that states CUBS HEADED TO SERIES. Yes I'm getting ahead of myself, and yes I am the same...

Sac-religious? Absolutely, and Dom will be seizing in his cubicle when he reads this, but give me B. Fav-ray any day over the mess that is Rex.

As the Dealine approached all eyes were on Manny. The proposed deal from last night involving Florida, Boston, and Pittsburgh appeared completely dead. And it in fact was. That didn't mean Manny would be in Boston tonight. It looks like Manny will be with former rival Joe Torre...

CC Sabathia is a Class Act. That pains me to say, since he is on the Brewers and has made the Central race closer since his entrance into it. The reigning AL Cy Young winner left Cleveland with a heavy heart. Baseball is a business and Milwaukee was ready to pay his bills. Cleveland...
