He is, without much argument, the most popular face in the state of Minnesota. He was born and raised in the same atmosphere where he recently broke out as a sporting icon and ripened as the greatest catcher in the majors.
Dating back to his childhood, Joe Mauer was covetous, immersing and engaging in a sport that he idolized, growing up as a Twins fan.
Certainly, in the midst of his endeavor, ...
Ben Roethlisberger Lacks Maturity, Foolish Nonsense Could Ravage Credibility
Posted: 9th March 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NFL
Every time accusations surface of a famous icon, a likable quarterback or any athlete, you’d like to believe such allegations are untruthful.
Instead we assume he’s a mistaken identity or hear deceitfulness shouts from a sinister woman’s mouth, out pursuing bundles of cash. That is exactly what we’ve assumed hearing Ben Roethlisberger described as a hideous sexual predator of contemptible judgment.
Faced with public humiliation for obnoxious weak-mindedness and stupidity, he has initiated ...
This Isn’t the Team To Beat: Lakers Perish, Too Lackadaisical
Posted: 8th March 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NBA
Never mind it being the best, most well-rounded basketball team in Hollywood, the most entertaining team in a community where movie stars crowded the streets of Hollywood for the Oscar awards Sunday evening. Deep down inside, witnessing Sandra Bullock win an award for leading actress was more galvanizing than watching the Los Angeles Lakers’ continuous struggles to win games.
It’s both fascinating and mind-blowing to watch arguably the most talented franchise ...
Trouble Brewing in Seattle? Expect Storm If Seahawks Bring in Brandon Marshall
Posted: 6th March 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NFL
While NFL teams pursue buying free agents, the Seattle Seahawks are amongst to make a sudden transition in its depleted roster, shuffling to percolate in an undermined NFC West division.
Normally, when a team is rebuilding to wipe away misery, the franchise seeks to cruise in a new direction and avoid any weasels, egomaniacs, or problematic receivers whose cancerous nonsense ruptures consensus.
Except in the Pacific Northwest, where the gloomy skies usually ...
Dodgers Spend Time in Divorce Court, End Marriage With Manny
Posted: 1st March 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in MLB
There’s much to dislike about Manny Ramirez, from the absurd drug-related bust to the ridiculous antics, to the worthless quitter he is.
Losing much sleep on whether he’ll return next season to Dodgertown is pointless, and dwelling on the disturbing topic creates a ruckus with spring training a week away.
Look, I despise Ramirez. The so-called slugger is viewed as a shameful impostor after he contaminated the game and violated the league’s ...
Where is Mr. Stern? Gilbert Arenas’ Stupidity Indicates Zero Tolerance
Posted: 5th January 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NBA
The last thing the District of Columbia needs is a gun duel in Barrack’s backyard, at the nation’s capital where homicide rates are overwhelming, repulsive, and a disgrace. Years ago, the local basketball team had enough sense to change its name from the Washington Bullets to the Wizards, anxious to remove violence from a troubling society.
However, for years, the NBA has dealt with disturbing aspects of firearms in which players ...
This was a season of suspense, a season describing longevity, and a teamÆs willpower.
á
We are witnesses of an insightful journey in a league that has paranoid our senses.
á
If youÆre wondering why we suffered greatly, and impatiently waited for the season-opener of a 16-game regular season in the NFL, well, you grasped the compelling mindset of intense, non-stop drama.

IsnÆt this what we live and dream for, a dramatic year to magnetize ...
Can Vikings Rebound? Yes, Childress, Favre Must Get a Grip
Posted: 29th December 2009 by Jonathan Mathis in NFL
In a way, that is, if youÆve forgotten, Brett Favre ignited a controversy. The timing of all the friction is unnecessary for a team attempting to erase any flukes and illusions. But everybody knows the Minnesota Vikings are mired in self-destruction, if the timeless interruption plays a role in the playoffs. What seems to be a minor issue, can jeopardize the rest of their season season.

Earlier this week, the Vikings ...
Favre Must Revoke Timeless Tale for Crying Out Loud
Posted: 23rd December 2009 by Jonathan Mathis in NFL
Here we go again.
When it seems the biggest diva in all of sports mellowed into an unselfish legend and future Hall of Famer, willing to guide the Minnesota Vikings to the Super Bowl that fans have implored for years, Brett Favre is returning back to his old psyche.
ThereÆs not a season progressing, without the famous quarterback of all-time crying out loud to the world.
And each season revolves around Favre, hijacked ...
Chris Henry’s Death Inspires Chad Ochocinco and Bengals
Posted: 21st December 2009 by Jonathan Mathis in NFL
He wisely dropped to his knees, lifted his head and pointed skyward after sprinting in a well-executed route and catching a 49-yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer.
In a moment of grief, Chad OchocincoÆs solace was to pay tribute to the late Chris Henry. It was a time the Cincinnati Bengals played with heavy hearts, but there was no one with a heavier heart than Ochocinco. At the time, reality set ...
