Cleveland Rocks And LeBron James Career In Hollywood Has Ended
Posted: 10th July 2010 by JW Nix in NFL
After clearing the vomit from my mouth after the sociopathic narcissistic "press conference" ESPN held to promote LeBron James, I felt it important to throw the city of Cleveland some love. Not only because it is tiresome watching ESPN attempt to shove their anointed heroes down our throats in hope of cashing in on faux reverence, but because Cavalier fans need only look back to 1980 and owner Ted Stepien to ...
NFL history has a long line of men who were feared each time they stepped onto the field. Men that would make opponents sweat in hopes of surviving 60 minutes against them.
This is a list of the very best players ever to strike fear in opponents. Though there are several more to add to the list, these are the men generally considered the scariest for various reasons.

Bruce Allen, the general manager, and Mike Shanahan, the head coach, have not gotten off to a roaring start just yet.

When the Washington Redskins traded with the Philadelphia Eagles to acquire Donovan McNabb for a couple of draft picks, cynics pointed out the deal could basically end up being a one-year rental of the former Eagles quarterback.

No longer does the NBA have the likes of Bill Lanier, Wilt Chamberlain, Artis Gilmore or Willis Reed patrolling the lanes of their league.
In their place are power forwards forced to play center named Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, Nene Hilario, and Chuck Hayes play center for their teams.
Some attribute the transition of the game as the reason why the modern center prefers to face the basket to beat the defender ...
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The Minnesota Vikings organization has been on pins and needles the last month waiting on their 2009 starting quarterback, Brett Favre, to tell them if he intends to play the 2010 season. Favre followers are used to this approach.
The excitement of anticipation on the return of their personal Jesus makes a Tiger Woods fan awaiting ...
This entry is dedicated to the backup Quarterback. Some have fans chanting for their insertion into games. Some have fans begging for their non involvement.
The life of the career backup is tenuous or tedious. It depends on the team they are on. Many backups rarely played behind guys like Ron Jaworski or Brett Favre, while quite a few played behind guys like Jim McMahon and Chris Chandler.
