As I predicted back when OLN viewership was lousy to say the least. Number one is they reach 21 million less households than ESPN. Number two OLN isn't a staple channel like ESPN and ESPN2 so people aren't used to going to it. And number three OLN is offered in many parts only through a digital...

Sorry for double post but Benson was a catcher in HS but is seen as a CF for pros. Another two sport HS athlete Jake Locker,(WA) 6.4 speed, like Cooper is leaning towards football.

Over the next couple of weeks I hope to report on baseball prospects for upcoming draft. We have written about Riley Cooper out of Florida who signed to play both baseball and football for Florida. A big very fast propect he busted up his hand in an incident and missed the baseball season. Now...

Since I brought up the Marlins Eric Reed and his 4.2 40 speed the fastest white player I recall in the past ten years was Chad Green from Mentor High School in Ohio. He was recruited to play football by Lou Holtz at Notre Dame, in retrospect he should have gone the football route, but opted...

Sorry and I rememeber you are a Pistons fan but for me they remind me of the worst NBA years like when the Rockets played the Knicks in the finals. I can tolerate low scoring football and baseball but for me I like basketball where the final scores don't resemble half time scores. For me it is a...

Too bad about Duffy. They screwed around with him then pulled the trigger too soon. Eric Reed is back in Triple A. He lacks strength but runs a 4.2 40 yard dash. Hope he gets it back together even though he was given little chance.

I saw Federer in a hilarious new ESPN ad and look for Maria to be in one any day now.

Rooting for Hingis mate. Thats easy. Anyway congrats to her for her win and it is refreshing to note that white athletes can comeback from the dead. Until further notice if a white chick dates a black guy she still remains white. Serena on the other hand doesn't turn white by dating a white guy.

Yes Josh it is unfair that OLN is not offered to everyone. I pointed that out when the deal first came down. I get OLN now but I feel your pain. Poker---who watches that crap?

Spurs-Mavs was a great series. And kudos to Marv Albert for stellar announcing. Albert stays away from stereotyping. Yeh he did have that weird thing going on--at least it was with a women--but for basketball he is the best in my book. Nash deserved MVP last year but I think maybe Dirk deserved...

CC hits a nail when he goes over the way the media has skirted away from the T&F drug enhancements. Marion Jones is an extension of FloJo. The "attractive" black sprinter who reinforces the media belief that blacks are the superior athletic ideal. Jones has caught some grief but nowhere near the...

Not sure what to think of Francouer. The guy never walks and that is a huge concern. Still he has gotten hot lately after a dreadful start. Talk about raw athleticism. This guy is what they call an athletic stud. He could probably excel at any sport he is that well rounded. Might be the best...

Two huge disappointments so far this year have been Reed and Duffy both fleet centerfielders. Duffy with Pirates was shipped down and is in limbo because he refused or something. Reed with the Marlins has also been sent down. Both were having trouble hitting but my take is that patience is thin...

A few more things to address with McBride. As for the drugs you are being naive if you think the sport is clean. They get tested you say and that clears everything? Of course not. For crying out loud Justin Gatlin has been caught using drugs. As for your blacks will are and always shall be...

McBride I don't recall ever giving out autobiographical info regarding myself and sports participation here at caste so why assume anything on that matter. As for your sociological conclusion I strongly disagree. I think there has developed a gulf in general between the way whites and blacks...

How in the heck did that get botched . Talk about premature e--I won't spell it out. Nice job media and Track and field. Bunch of morons. Still it makes me laugh. TS Gatlin .

That is a possibility but don't know for sure. In a more generic sense does Playboy actually qualify as porn these days? If so where does that place Maxim etc? Not that I study these things----or anything. Insert joke laughter.

I don't live in a big city but I suspect what Don says is accurate. I do poke around on the i-net. Cities with both NHL and NBA are covered roughly equally by the newspapers. In some cases like Detroit the Red Wings might be covered as much as the Lions. The real problem with hockey coverage is...

Hard to get an exact handle on the NHL but a few things. Number one attendance was up this year despite a one year layoff. Fans at games are obviously passionate and OLN, if you are lucky to get it in your area, does a decent job of coverage. Yes the big market teams all went down in flames but...

CC a few things. First while I think the late 60's did produce some sort of sea change within the sports community and recruiters etc. took notice the media as far as I can tell started sometime in the early to mid 80's, (around the same exact time ESPN rose to prominence), to really draw the...

We still haven't figured out the total reason why whites have trailed off as blacks have taken off since 1960. As for Gatlin, a guy who has in the past taken drugs to increase perfomance, I take his achievements with a big fat grain of salt.

At the end of the day I think Bonds will not be found guilty or whatever. Like nearly everyone else I suspect he has taken some kind of juice but we don't know how many other players took juice too. The case will grow more complicated the more they proceed even if the deck is stacked in favor...

Will have to double check this but one site I won't mention for now has Soelberg as one of the highest rated cb's for next year's draft. Anyone care to get to the bottom of this one. He is listed as a senior etc..Hope he does have one more year but as far as I know he is done at BYU.

I agree Ruth was the most dominant. As for this sordid mess a few more things to chew on. SI's Tom Verducci is the head baseball writer but frankly I don't know why. He has never said much to stimulate my senses and you would think SI would have a top flight guy covering baseball since it is...

Some names of note in a high school track meet. Sisters Natalie and Nachelle Stewart from Spanish Fork are freshman speedsters. Natalie was second in the 100M and first in the 400M. Maria Halton from Granger won the 100 and 200M. Not sure which sport she will play in college--tennis? Also Mikey...
