The Texas Rangers manager was found to have used cocaine during the ‘09 season
First things first–why is the MLB testing managers for drugs? Wouldn’t the time/effort be better spent testing the players, who are playing the game for narcotics/PEDs? Is his drug use really going to have that much of an effecft on the outcome of a game (compared ot that of an active players?)
The Browns traded away Brady Quinn today, for a no name RB and low round draft picks
Now with both Derrick Anderson and Quinn gone–it looks like the Browns front office is really re-tooling the offense (which was pathetic last year)
Not much commentary up yet on the trade–though with the Browns recently having signed Delhomme and Wallace–Quinn’s departure seemed inevitable.
Cleveland Cavaliers fans snuggle up to world record for most fleece blankets in one place
More importantly–the Cavs won the game
Browns to restructure Cribbs’ deal
Very good move in keeping Cribbs on the team.
Now what else the Browns do…well….
So I’ve been really into Olympic hockey this year.
The US won to make it to the Semis. The game though that I was looking forward to today was the Russia-Canada battle. On paper these teams stack up rather well (and I’d be home from work to watch it).
The Canucks have simply destroyed the Russians. Very disappointing form a non-partisan fan’s perspective.
Oh well….
The early game Russia-Slovokia hockey game earlier today was quite a good game in and of itself. Quite physical–especially that momentum turning open ice hit on Jagr.
The much awaited North American rumble (USA vs. Canada) lived up to all it’s billing and then some!
Ryan Miller was a brick wall! 42 saves!?!?! Especially towards the end, when the US couldn’t seem to get the puck out of its own zone–Miller just stood solid.
The US played a smart game and did what it had to do–and the final score reflected this.
The moral across Canada is going to be a wreck tomorrow. Their national team, losing to the USA in one of Canada’s national sports. (Random trivia factoid: lacrosse is Canada’s other national sport) It’s quite an upset.
While this upset isn’t anywhere on the magnitude of the Miracle On Ice (30 years ago tomorrow)–it’s a huge win for US hockey.
The Finland-Sweden game should also be a good one–alas, sleep takes priority in my book.
Look at the pants on the Norwegan curling team
Could these catch on like Zubas did in t he 90s?
Tonight’s Super Bowl was quite a good game. Scratch that–it was a very good game.
The Saints simply outplayed the Colts in the end (obviously). A few quick observations before I hit the sack:
–The Colts featured a running attack which definitely caught the Saints off-guard. (Who would’ve expected that?)
–The Saints time of possession in the 2nd quarter was clutch–essentially by moving the ball on a long, long drive they kept the ball out of Manning’s hand–which neutralized Indy.
–Can’t say enough about the Saint’s Special Teams play. Excellent punt/kick-off coverage. Bush’s return late in the 2nd quarter. Good starting field position. The three FGs (versus Stover–who is somehow still playing–missing one). And the On-Side kick was huge!
SI: Justice Dept.: Obama administration may take action on BCS
*Facepalm*
Why does the Federal Government need to get involved in college football??? Yeah, the BCS is a mess, but Congress has more important issues facing the nation, no?
The Jets won?!?!?
(Sidebar: Will the annoying drunk Jets Fans outside a bar here on Second Avenue please keep their voices down)
It was very surprising to see the Jets win. I didn’t think they’d manage to do so, specifically because their lack of a passing game. I’d anticipated another game like the Colts-Ravens game.
At least there was one very close and competitive game this weekend. The others were just routs.
Why did the Chargers go for the onside kick after their TD? The Jets had problems putting together drives all game–all they did was turn over good field position.
Plus–I wonder if the Chargers will be keeping their kicker on next year…
Mark McGwire finally came clean, admitting he used steroids
As if everyone didn’t know that already!
Now if he really wanted to come clean–he’d admit what kind of cycles he ran. Not necessarily the dosages, but which AAS.
{Wasn’t Andro still legal back then too?)
The start of the Cardinals-Packers game looked like it was going to be a rout for the Cardinals.
Good thing I kept tuned in to the game!
It appeared neither team knew how to play defense–which at least gave the weekend one competitive playoff game. (The other three were just outright domination).
It’s also ironic that the defense which blew a 21-point lead for the Cardinals wound up winning the game.
The Jets look like the complete opposite of the Giants today.
They’ve put up 24 points in the half, held Carson Palmer to 1/11 for 0 yards and an INT (okay, Cincy’s receivers have had butterfingers)
On the other hand, the GIants for the second straight week just looked pathetic. Like the Browns did at the start of the season–beyond pathetic.
The Browns win 4 in a row for the first time since 1994!
Okay, not like they played the best teams the last couple of weeks, but still…the Browns actually putting toget a winning streak–a sign of end times?
The Buckeyes played quite well today in defeating a very talented Oregon team.
Pryor was also “unleashed” so to speak–and it looks like he’s started to mature nicely. He still needs to work on his reads and staying cool in the pocket–but his performance today deserves a lot of praise.
Oregon is a good team. A very fast offense, and their kick returner is defenitely a spark-plug.
That said, it looked like OSU dominated the game they wanted to for the most part. Holding the ball for 2/3rds of the game (40 min to 20 min)
OSU’s defense rose to the occasion yet again. The biggest critique I have of the OSU offense was the number of times they had to settle for field goals in the Red Zone.
A good game all around.
Did anyone else catch that game? It was crazy!
Auburn almost managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory how many times? (I lost count)
The Browns are actually listed as favorites for their game against the Raiders today!
The Browns as favorites? Even though it’s only by 3.5, this year?!?!
I watched parts of the Jets-Falcons game while doing my weekly Sunday cooking.
The Jets left a lot of points on the board–especially with their field-goal kicking team.
Sure their defense was solid…but their offense was sputtering and they couldn’t convert their field goals.
The Browns have managed to win two games in a row!
More important—the Browns knew how to engineer a winning streak?
Harrison and Cribbs both had huge games today.
Looks like life in the bizzaro world continues…
Whaaa!
13-6!
I’m going to bed…this is too strange to believe.
/It’s been too long since the Steelers have gone down to the Dawgs!
