Robert Lane is a great athlete and was also a star baseball player. In fact I am surprised he hasn't jumped ship yet given that he isn't a QB anymore. The guy has everything. Speed, power maybe an Adam Dunn type--but at third base instead of OF..

Compare Gay's wingspan of 7'3" to Reddick's at a paltry 6'3". It is a wonder Reddick achieved so much without having that natural advantage. Makes him seem nearly a FOOT shorter than Gay but he was more productive. Yet the media wouldn't shut up about his lack of "speed". So how the hell did he...

I am looking at it differently I guess. I think the fact Jason plays point guard adds a few bonus points which is one reason I figured a wash. And Jason a bit player? During the regular season he was the third leading scorer--despite playing injured most of the year. He had an unbelievable 4.9...

Down about 8% from two years ago. And it was real low back then so nothing to get excited about ratings wise.

Michael Oewn tore his ACL. Talk about a downer. Cripes more and more it seems the prime white guys from all sports are going down with ACL--(Baldelli etc.) injuries. Crap.

nbadraft.net Really good source for draft info.

Uh I think some are missing the point. Yes Dirk would have been the best white player to lead his team to the top since Bird but for me this series for caste purposes was nearly a wash--given that Van Horn was underpar due to injuries etc. And I noticed the media has avoided him as well but...

Wade must have pushed off Griffin on the final shot before OT because Griffin was sent flying. Not sure what to make of this series. Miami has strange substitution patterns. Did Jason Williams play more than a minute or two the second half? Miami lacks skill players. My count is two. Wade and...

Rudy Gay has been called the greatest athletic specimen ever to roam the earth--qoute Dick Vitale and others-- at least three thousand times last season!!! So Gay should mop up the floor in the speed drills right? He has two things going for him. A nice 40 inch vertical and a tremendous wing...

Sorry I meant Golf Channel was raving about Ogilvy's potential. Nice to see an athletic kid come to the front. Phil is more Pilsbury doughboy not that there is anything wrong with that--poor guy was he pissed at the end--and can't blaim him.

That was the craziest thing. One of the older announcers midway through Phil's round said that he thought it was impossible to win the Open without hitting the fairways and then went on to say "I guess I am wrong" because Phil looked to be on his way despite horrible driving. Turns out the wise...

There is not one spot to mention this but this is as good as any just to use the post above as an example.. Don anyway posters can be convinced to list the names of the athletes that are part of a link? I bring this up because often it is easier for us to google the name rather than type in...

I think now that the media has "trained" the public after so many years to believe that athleticism and excitement is synonymous with black athletes, white athletes and white dominated sports--ie: hockey have suffered in the TV ratings business. I can't help but think the media has sabotaged...

Amusing and informative posts. Got to say I wish I was there. I mean big breasted German girls drinking the greatest beer ever out of mugs as big as our pitchers. Oh yeh the World cup. Not an expert either but if we break it all down to three races then the Iranians are white are they not...

Also Jeremy Hermida of the Marlins. Out of all the above mentioned and listed the two who stand out in terms of excitement are Francouer and Zimmerman. Adam Dunn strikes out way too much and believe it or not might have been a better football QB. The guy is around 6'6" and 260 lbs or so and...

Here is evidence of media bias. Keep in mind the media has been hyping Donald Young and for the time being he has stalled a little thank goodness or we would be hearing about it til the end of time. During the French Open the media repeatedly went on and on about the "speed" of Gael Monfils who...

Francouer is an easy one. Throw in catcher Joe Mauer of the Twins who was a football star in HS. Baldelli but he has been injured and is just coming back. A few others I can't think of at the moment. The greek sounding guy (Markakis) sp? from the Orioles has a lot of potential too even though he...

Lots of pre WC media talk about racism in Europe against black players, mainly imported players. Seems to me that most everyone in this group would not resort to name calling at stadiums and in public etc... and it seems over the top. But the media also blindly ignores one of the roots of it...

Notable athletic first round picks: #8 Reds Drew Stubbs--unbelievable athlete #13 Cubs Tyler Colvin #17 Padres Matt Antonelli--great speed was hockey,football,baseball star in HS #18 Phillies Kyle Drabek--too bad they will make him a pitcher. Has 4.5 speed #27 Red Sox Jason Place Note Jeff...

That was a classic game but the reserve goalie of the Oilers made a bone head play. I think the Oilers are in trouble without goalie Roleson who is out for the series. There are some studs on both teams.

In the finals the two key whites are Nowitzki and Williams. With a little Van Horn on the side. Shaq? Kind of a big lug so hard to work up negative feelings about him-unlike say Iverson who I don't like at all. Dirk has been huge and while he is not as exciting as Larry Bird he has been...

Nice pics Don.She has been hyped for a while and has a big game similar to Maria. And she is sexy too. Not as open or as fun loving as Maria but could end up better in the long run. Good sign for Nicole is that she is winning on clay which isn't tailer made for the big power hitting gals.

Wie thing is a JOKE but welcome to the new tabloid world of sports coverage. I feel sorry for the guys who are competing and are reduced to anonymous ball pushers as Wie and her marketing team drum up more ways to make money. Personally I think she is a self serving twit and could give a rat's...

Shock.Yep SI has a soccer cover. Nice to see inside article mentions Landon Donovan's and Bobby Convey's speed. Want to have a good time follow England throughout WC. Lots of stars and the Brit press is hilarious and merciless. Favorite player--Michael Owen. Reminds me of soccer's version of...

Draft is next week so a few names to throw out there. Too lazy to get all systematic but as usual will focus on the speed guys some if not most who will never wear a major league uniform. Here is a partial list. Shane Keough OF--now this is an odd bit. His mother I guess is on a reality show...
