The Baltimore Ravens looked to make it four wins in a row last night in Jacksonville, facing a Jaguars team that by most accounts stinks. But, no one could have seen this coming. The Ravens didn’t even get a first down until the third quarter. You read that right. It was abysmal. They couldn’t do [...]
After the Philadelphia Eagles acquired Nnamdi Asomugha and traded for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Asante Samuel immediately became the subject of trade speculation. Whether or not the Eagles were actively shopping him at that point, we don’t know. But the topic came up again prior to last Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. And as far as Asante is [...]
The return of Santurdio? For the most part, Santonio Holmes has been a good soldier since being traded to the New York Jets. But, you may recall that he recently popped off to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com and blamed the offensive line for the offense’s struggles. “I may be criticized again for saying it, but [...]
We aren’t exactly sure we get what goes through people’s heads some times. Especially when athletes pop off when playing other teams. Remember when Gary Sheffield ran his mouth after the New York Yankees took a 3-0 ALCS lead on the Boston Red Sox? How did that turn out? This time, it’s Detroit Tigers closer [...]
Did anyone see the Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Victor Ortiz fight on Saturday night. Quite an eventful fight and better than a lot of the boring crap the boxing world has been serving us lately. Late in the fight, Ortiz clearly headbutts Mayweather, which was nonsense. He apologized, but there’s no excuse for that. After [...]
We mentioned previously that Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison ripped into his QB over his Super Bowl performance, but we apparently missed the real show. He absolutely lays into Commissioner Roger Goodell in the same interview with Men’s Journal. “If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I [...]
Leave it to James Harrison. The Pittsburgh Steelers outside LB was interviewed recently for an article in Men’s Journal. He was asked about a ton of things, including the 2004 season when they lost to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game and he said that they stole their signals. “They got busted for it [...]
Remember how the Sacramento Kings signed former first-round pick Antoine Wright to a one-year deal last year and then unceremoniously cut him after just seven games? Neither do we. However, Wright clearly remembers it and he tells SI.com in detail what his issues were with the Kings. It should be duly noted that Wright had [...]
The Dallas Mavericks smacked the Miami Heat right back Tuesday night to even the series at 2-2. And in doing so, the Mavericks held LeBron James to eight points…his lowest point total in 90 playoff games. On Wednesday, DeShawn Stevenson said that LeBron “checked out” of Game 4. Maybe not the brightest idea to poke [...]
Stunning news from Michigan, Terrell Owens played a season for a football team and then blamed others after the fact when the team stunk up the joint all year. Right on schedule, that is exactly what T.O. is doing right now, calling out the Bengals coaching and front office. Owens was on NFL Network’s Total [...]
The Baltimore Ravens recently sent QB coach Jim Zorn packing to the door that didn’t hit him in the butt. The theory that’s been leaking out is that the Ravens felt that it could be a situation with him where eventually it’s too many chefs. Regardless of why he was booted, Joe Flacco doesn’t appreciate [...]
It really doesn’t get much better than this. The Washington Redskins got absolutely destroyed on Monday night by the Philadelphia Eagles 59-28. It was an embarrassment from the beginning. And there is a certain local radio host down in D.C. that didn’t appreciate the effort. Chad Dukes co-hosts a show with Lavar Arrington on CBS’ [...]
The Chicago Cubs must be having a lot of fun with Carlos Zambrano this year. First, he stunk up the joint as a starter and had to be sent to the bullpen. Then they brought him back as a starter, where he decided to unload on his teammates. On Friday, Zambrano gave up four runs [...]
Atlanta Thrashers’ winger Slava Kozlov may be a little bit biased in his assessment of a coaching staff that had him in the press box for most of the second half of the season. But that didn’t stop the 37-year old from blaming them for the team’s failure to make the postseason.
Our pals at TMZ obtained a photo of the victim’s head from the bottle smashing last night in San Diego. The victim claims to have no recollection after being hit with the bottle, but his friends say they saw exactly what happened. Apparently, everyone was celebrating and people starting spraying the champagne at each other. [...]
After getting lambasted by the San Diego Chargers 37-7 (at least they scored?), Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson decided to go off on the team’s coaching staff, which we are sure means head coach Todd Haley. “My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches,” Johnson tweeted. “Google my father!!!!!!!” (His pops [...]
Former Los Angeles Laker Magic Johnson has ripped former Detroit Piston in his new book When the Game was Ours. The news comes as a shocker to most NBA fans who are absolutely surprised that Magic can write. But anyway, Magic talks about how he and others blackballed Thomas when it came to the 1992 [...]
We care about professional wrestling roughly about as much as we care about proper grammar and sentence structure. Which is….not very much, if at all. But, we think it’s funny when someone wants to smack Eric Mangini, mainly because most people would like someone to do it. Well, the Miz, who is apparently a pro [...]
LeBron James has called out Cleveland Browns WR Braylon Edwards for punching his friend at a night club early Monday morning. “I’ve never crossed paths with Braylon before, but it seems like there’s a little jealousy going on with Braylon and me and my friends. I have no idea why,” James said after practice. “I’ve [...]
Terrell Owens didn’t take kindly to former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison getting on him for being selfish. After Owens went catchless for the first time since 1997, Harrison said that Owens is “more concerned with his own stats than the team’s success.” So, T.O. did thee noble thing and jumped all over Harrison on Twitter. [...]
This is great. We know Mike Florio of Profootballtalk.com through occasional emails and for the most part he’s been nice to us (although he didn’t mention our Braylon Edwards “Drops for Tots” program. What could involve more talking of pro football than that?). But we think – as we are sure he does too – [...]
Baltimore Ravens WR Derrick Mason didn’t like some recent comments from Keyshawn Johnson and Cris Carter on a conference call. With regards to Joe Flacco, Keyshawn said “you want a bum, you pay a bum.” “Keyshawn Johnson is the bum, that’s why he’s in the analyst seat,” said Mason after the Ravens win against Kansas [...]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant went on 97X in Tampa Thursday morning and had some choice words for his kicking competition, Mike Nugent. “We pretty much go about our business,” Bryant said. “It’s not like we’re shutting the door on somebody’s foot. But the other day, it dawned on me. He made some comment [...]
St. Louis Rams’ center Jason Brown gave some insight into how his team plans to handle the Washington Redskins’ Albert Haynesworth in week 2 of the NFL season. Why? We have no clue, but he popped off anyway. “I’m so glad we’re playing Washington early in the year because it’s going to be hot out [...]
