New England Patriot QB Tom Brady isn't a guy that talks a whole lot, but his "they talk a lot for a team that has beat us once in nine years" crack on the Baltimore Ravens is absolutely nuclear. Awesome.
Things are going to get real interesting on the labour front in the NBA if Commissioner David Stern is serious about rolling back player salaries by a third, or $750-$800 million across the board. If he's serious, there is no way there is a season to start 2011/12, no?
The NFL has released its "hits" video that went to all teams this week. Check it out here. After yesterday, I'm tempted to suggest this problem is all the result of shoddy officiating, just for fun. If you're wondering what I'm referring to, check out the discussion that yesterday's crack on officials brought here.
After all that ink wasted, Wayne Rooney has signed with Manchester United for another five years. It'll be interesting to see if his anger over them saving money on players sold rather than acquiring new ones makes a difference come January's transfer window.
In ESPN The Magazine's "Lists" issue, New Orleans Hornet Chris Paul was asked to name the five best passers in the game. Who did he have tops? Chris Paul.
Also listed, Brett Favre's final pass in a playoff game went to a member of his team six times. Intercepted? Five. Nice.
Talk about punching above your class: LA Laker Sasha Vujacic is engaged to Maria Sharapova.
I managed to catch a minute of the Toronto Maple Leafs/New York Rangers game last night. Didn't better my life a bit.
Philadelphia Phillies Ryan Howard, batting cleanup, has yet to cash an RBI this playoffs. That's hard to believe, but speaks to the very streaky Phillies offence.
The Dallas Cowboys are using officials in practice this week in an effort to cut down on the penalties they're drawing. Up next week: using a head coach.
The very evolved NFL analyst Mark Schlereth says that if the NFL continues to look at ways to remove hitting from the game, they'll end up being soccer. I'd love to get Schlereth on the field some day with a Nigel De Jong say, and show him how little contact there is. Know what you're talking about, MS, otherwise you look like a pure jerkoff. Oh, guess the league isn't removing contact entirely if Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison backing off retirement talk is any measure. What a shock.
If the stories are to be believed, looks like Boston Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell - experience: zero - is in line to be the new manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. The largest downside of this hiring for AL East rivals: the Sox pitching is bound to improve after the not-so-great work Farrell did with Josh Beckett, John Lackey and Jonathan Papelbon.
Not sure what is more impressive in this clip from a youth hockey game. The celebration after the goal, or that it looks like they drew a bigger crowd than the NHL cities named above.
