Falcon's Felon

If anything this scandalous summer has opened my eyes to the varying levels of sports controversies. In this era of intense scrutiny and intrusiveness into the lives of athletes it's important to know what your dealing when you hear breaking news, sound bites from an exclusive interview taped yesterday or an excerpt from a soon to be released novel.

NFL Early Entry Draft

With draft fever consuming the nation (NHL Draft, MLB Draft, NBA Draft, and the NFL Supplemental Draft) I though it would be the perfect occasion to resurrect the NFL Underclassmen Draft. The concept is simple, if the NFL adopted a farm system similar to Major League Baseball's which players would be drafted where? Only caveat is that the draft orders are reversed to keep...

Off-Season Drama

The season of speculation and free agent signings has begun and with it comes a lot of drama. So I focus my target on the three teams causing the most headlines-- the Celtics, Lakers and T'Wolves and a simple theory on why Kevin McHale isn't as harebrained as he seems.

In this era of 24 hour sports coverage, the media has to have someone to juxtapose under the bus, and anoint as the Next (Name Your Athlete Here). The most popular names are the next Jordan's Gretzky's and Marino's....

How the Bears Fans & Rex Grossman Circled the Wagon

Before the Super Bowl, I made the statement that Rex Grossman was not the worst Super Bowl quarterback of all-time contrary to what fans believed at the time (and his eventual horrid performance) despite the fact that I am and was a Colts fan. Though he did disappoint, lets not give up on Grossman yet. If you read the article now, the overall message is still there, Rex Grossman...

Magic Conundrum

For all the whining from Boston fans, who now swear that their NBA team is cursed here's an article I wrote a while back about an NBA franchise that truly is unlucky. If you don't agree leave a comment and tell me which NBA team you think is the most ill fated in the NBA. I refuse to say cursed.
