Michael Vick Chew Toy


Say what you will the Philadelphia Eagles are a better football team today than they were 5 days ago. The acquisition of Michael Vick with the additions of LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin through the draft provides them with some of the most versatile offensive options in the NFC. The Eagles also boast the most underrated tight end in the league in former UC product Brent Celek. That being said, I would still buy the Michael Vick chew toy for my dog.

U Have got to be Streaming Me..


We have Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and now the ever expanding universe of social networking brings us UStream. Chad OchoCinco grabbed my attention with it by broadcasting live during his downtime at Bengals training camp. At 10:08pm there are over 700 people tweeting Mr. OchoCinco questions which is his answering at will. The concept is as creepy as a children's beauty pageant yet as addictive as Pringle chips. He sets his own soundtrack and has guests from the team visit him. Damn this 21st century and having too much time on our hands.

Summer League Dunk 'Ems


First the mysterious dunkgate where Lebron and Nike steal the video of Jordan Crawford (formerly of Indiana now in Xavier's back court) dunking on King James now comes superstar recruit John Wall's copycat performance on Jerry "See I'm still Alive" Stackhouse. While there is no question that the YouTube age is upon us don't get in an uproar over these summer league games. Plays like these have been going on for years thankfully Michael Jordan didn't have to live through this TMZ culture. Entertaining yes but nothing more than a Tuesday in August ESPN filler because football season hasn't officially started yet.

Classy Sports Ties, Not from Kohls.


Found this website, some classy NFL, MLB and NCAA ties that don't look like the kind your crazy uncle wears.




Josh Hamilton and the "other" performance enhancing drugs.


By now the photos have circulated, the 1 minute line on PTI has passed and we all are aware of Josh Hamilton's relapse. The photos of this relapse have taken longer to appear than Eminem's version of the word. But I ask you not to judge Josh Hamilton for drinking, he is an admitted alcoholic and therefore always recovering. Judge him for putting whip cream on his nipples. He is a professional athlete therefore often presented with the opportunity of young attractive women and to stoop to this Girls Gone Wild, Not Another Teen Movie tactic is degradeding to men everywhere. Josh please turn in your man card.
