It was the most riveting hour of live national television since Geraldo Rivera breathlessly described the opening of Al Capone’s vault 24 years ago. Instead of dirt and an empty glass bottle, we got LeBron James talking in the third person about all the talent he brought to Cleveland for seven years before telling us he was now going to bring all that talent ...
Fifty years ago today, on July 9, 1960, on the campus of Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, the Dallas Cowboys began their first training camp. A staggering total of 193 players participated in that first camp under Tom Landry, who knew that the team was lacking in talent. "What we didn't have in the way of quality," he said. "We tried to make up ...

Posted: 28th June 2010 by Jabber Head in NFL
Dwayne Bowe has been a member of the Kansas City Chiefs since he was Drafted in the First Round of the 2007 Draft as the 23rd overall pick.
Drawing comparisons to Hines Ward, Bowe was considered one of the best receiver's available in the 2007 Draft.

It may be only a few months into the baseball season, but some young players are already starting to become household names. Whether they play in the outfield, behind the plate, or on the mound they're making an impact in their early careers. Stephen Strasburg, the most hyped pitcher in recent memory, has played better than expected.

Never in my life will I claim to know more about the game of basketball than "The Logo" himself, but Jerry West stating that Kobe Bryant is "the best Laker ever" is a bit much.
Anyone that knows me knows that in the past decade Bryant has surpassed Scottie Pippen and Shaquille O’Neal and my second favorite player of all time (nobody could ever top MJ), ...

Posted: 14th June 2010 by Jabber Head in NFL
With organized team activities and the mandatory mini-camp completed, there has been a lot of talk about the Cowboys of late. How good can they be in 2010? Can they improve on that one playoff victory last season? Another area that has generated a lot of talk lately is the wide receiver position. Roy Williams will be back again to try to save face ...
Trent Green, is a man who to me is the epitome of an NFL star, and one who on and off the field made me stop and take note.
His presence on the field was felt by those who played with and coached him, and his style off the field affected the communities he touched.
Trent Green, although no longer with the NFL, should not be forgotten by ...
Power rankings (6/7 update)
1. Tampa Bay Rays - The Rays have been scuffling lately, but the Rays still have the best squad thus far in the majors. The offense is due for an offensive explosion, and while the pitching hasn’t been as good as it was in the beginning of the season, it has still been more consistant than a lot of people expected. One thing to watch for ...
I once had the misfortune of playing in a high school football game in which my team was stomped 44-0.
During the joint team postgame meal, I had the honor of sitting next to the opposing coach.
Being an inquisitive young man, I asked the coach as to why, once his team had achieved a rather large and obviously insurmountable lead, he hadn't called off the dogs.
The coach glared at me...not ...
