Poll of the Day

WILL THE LIONS SELL OUT THEIR HOME OPENER?

With less than three days remaining until the Lions home opener, there are 4,000 tickets left. For years, one of the Big Three would buy up the remaining tickets. A couple of hundred grand was no big deal to any of these companies back in the day. Hell, these CEOs were wiping their butt with ... Read more

DOES CHARLIE WEIS HAVE A LEGITIMATE BEEF WITH THE REFS?

Usually when the words beef and Charlie Weis are in the same sentence, its proceeded by buffet, all you can eat, and 10 doggie bags. I know, sorry for the mental image so early in the morning. Anyways, Weis was so angry at the officiating in Ann Arbor on Saturday that he decided to send ... Read more

BIGGER WEEKEND MORON: SERENA OR KANYE?

Not sure what to make of these two. I’m more willing to give Serena a pass because, in general, she hasn’t had a hiccup of this kind. Although, threatening a line judge at a major tournament is as low as you go. But Kanye is a moron of epic proportions. I’m not usually an advocate ... Read more

CAN THE STEELERS SURVIVE WITHOUT POLAMALU?

The Steelers are a very good team but without Polamalu, that defense isn’t nearly as frightening. Late in the first half of last nights game, Polamalu sprained his MCL. More than likely he’ll miss a few games. For the Steelers sake, they better hope its just a sprain and nothing worse. You could make an ... Read more

WHERE DOES DEREK JETER RANK?

No doubt that Jeter has been one of the greatest Yankees of all-time. His first handful of years in the league, he played in the world series 5 times, winning 4. But since that run, the Yankees have gone into a slump. Jeter is certainly not to blame for the slump, however, when you’re the ... Read more

IS THE NFL MOVE TO LONDON A BAD IDEA?

This is what Goodell had to say on the Dan Patrick Show yesterday “It’s realistic to me that we would play multiple games in London, regular-season games, maybe as early as next year,” Goodell said. “And if that continues to have the same kind of reaction, a team playing in London on a regular basis ...

MATTHEW STAFFORD IS THE LIONS STARTER

He hasn’t looked impressive at all in the preseason but then again we’re talking about the Detroit Lions. Culpepper may have given them a minimal edge some games with his experience but because this team is so bad, a minimal edge may mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Many people around the league ... Read more

HOW DOES THAT SEAT FEEL MR. WEIS?

Its one thing to get heat from unruly, delusional fans. Its one thing to get heat from national writers. Its even one thing to get heat from alumni. But when a former football player puts up a billboard in your town calling you out… Well, let’s just say your time is probably running out. former ... Read more

NFL TO BLACKOUT GAMES IN 12 MARKETS

More than 1/3 of the league may experience a blackout for home games this year. Amongst them are Detroit, Miami, Kansas City, and Minnesota. Places that before, have never had trouble selling are really hurting… But Roger Goodell won’t budge. Color me shocked that one of the more stubborn men in sports won’t change his ... Read more

WHO WILL WIN THE U.S. OPEN?

Roger Federer is basically the king in Flushing. He’s won the last 5 U.S. Opens. Rafael Nadal hasn’t really proven himself in quite some time as he comes back from injury. Andy Murray is currently the second ranked player in the world and looks primed for a victory… And then there’s Andy Roddick…All the skills ... Read more

THE UM FOOTBALL SCANDAL?

The story plastered all over ESPN, Yahoo, and every college football message board in the country is this, “Did UM break the rules”. And to me, I can’t really say with any knowledge that these voluntary workouts aren’t happening at every D1 school in the country. The bigger problem is that there is some major ... Read more
