Orton a Better Fit than Kolb for Cardinals
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on July 30, 2011
The Arizona Cardinals gave up the farm (a second-round pick and stud CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) to acquire QB Kevin Kolb from the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday. While I understand why the Cards had to pull the trigger, there was a much cheaper alternative out there. Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton everyone! Seriously, Orton would have been […]
Davis Firing the Right Thing at the Wrong Time
Posted by klownboy in college football, sports blogging on July 28, 2011
Let me start by saying I do not have a problem with the University of North Carolina firing Butch Davis. He has been connected to John Blake, a former assistant coach/recruiting coordinator who worked to steer players to late NFL agent Gary Wichard and reported Blake had received more than $31,000 from Wichard, though Blake’s attorneys […]
Brown Doing the Right Thing in not Trading Palmer
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on July 27, 2011
Mark July 27, 2011 as an important day in sports history. That is because this is the first time I will take Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown in ANYTHING. Brown has come out publicly and said that he will not trade Carson Palmer. He said that Palmer signed a contract, and expects him to abide […]
How I Would Fix the NBA
Posted by klownboy in NBA, sports blogging on July 27, 2011
Now that the NFL is back in full swing (no credit to the owners, by the way), the focus (or lack thereof) is on the NBA lockout. The NBA’s labor impasse may be nasty enough to last all summer and can potentially wipe out the entire 2011-2012 NBA season. I was reading Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s commentary […]
Hey MLB: GET INSTANT REPLAY!!!
Posted by klownboy in MLB, sports blogging on July 27, 2011
I am so, so sick and tired of these baseball “purists” who argue against instant replay, so I am going to keep this rant short. The more Major League Baseball argues against instant replay, it’ll risk having games end like the Pirates-Braves game last night. I’ll let you guys see for yourselves… Memo to MLB: […]
No Credit to the NFL for Doing the Right Thing
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on July 25, 2011
“WHOO-HOO!!!” That was what I yelled when the NFL and the NFLPA officially agreed on a deal that ended the NFL lockout earlier today. Fantasy football players everywhere and yours truly are celebrating. Pleasant thoughts aside, now let’s get real on one thing: this damn lockout should have never happened. How was it so difficult […]
Woods Fired His Caddie: Who Cares?
Posted by klownboy in golf, sports blogging on July 21, 2011
I’m sure everyone knows about the “firing heard around the world” by now. Tiger Woods clipped his caddie/good friend Steve Williams, with Woods stating he needs to make “changes” in his life. Now people in the sports media are trying to interpret Woods’ rather cryptic statement and Williams’ candid response to see if there were […]
Our Women’s Soccer Team Choked
Posted by klownboy in soccer, sports blogging, women's sports on July 19, 2011
Disclaimer: this is one of the very few positive rants I will ever make on soccer. Now without further ado… First let me say that I am extremely proud of our women’s World Cup team. They showed a lot of grit throughout the tournament, whether it’s playing through pain (Abby Wambach’s Achilles injury), overcoming adversity (bad […]
This Just in: NASCAR Drivers Are NOT Athletes
Posted by klownboy in auto racing, sports blogging on July 17, 2011
This whole flap over Seahawks WR Golden Tate’s post on Twitter saying that NASCAR drivers are not athletes is waaay overblown. That’s because it is so obvious that those drivers are not athletes. That doesn’t mean that those drivers do not possess skills that make them the best drivers in the world. It just means, […]
Harrison Has Officially Gone Postal
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on July 14, 2011
James Harrison, linebacker of my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, has officially gone off the deep end. In an article in the latest issue of Men’s Journal, Harrison took harsh, gratuitous shots at not only commissioner/warden Roger Goodell, but at HIS OWN TEAMMATES. I’m not going to go into details of what he said (everybody in the […]
