That was one heavy fine on Van Gundy. Too heavy in my view so I agree. Is it me or is Stern slowly unraveling? Never a big fan of his especially all of the media gushing over him. The game has improved a touch from last year or so but easy to forget the post Jordan sludge ball. Or that stellar...

A few things, sorry about the typo--talk about poorly placed. Funny though. As for Black Guypainting Jordan as a modern day Jim Thorpe as someone mentioned Jordan was a major STIFF as abaseball playerso it would be prudent not to speculate oneself down a toilet by suggesting Jordan was a few...

Recently Black Guy kind of dismissed high jumping as something blacks aren't interested etc..News to me by the way.Anyway.... But there is no better measure on earth for vertical leaping ability and HJ is one of the purest events in T&F. No starting times,no board to utilize as in long...

Argentina is kind of a transplanted European country I suppose like the city of Quebec. Most people there are of Italian and/or Spanish descent. Ginobli is of Italian heritage. Brazil on the other hand is much more racially mixed although there are some Germans and Dutch I believe.

Enjoying the posts and the humour about shaving legs. Forverer free makes a good point about basketball uniforms. The men should always wear baggy and the women a short tight one piece or at least shorter and tighter shorts. Women as we know are fashion hounds so why is it when it comes to...

Don't have a lot of time. BG's comments leave the same after taste that pervades sports discussion--blacks are superior speedsters/athletes. Bottom line no getting around it no matter how much perfume is added to mask the conclusion this is what BG is saying and what most of the media says or...

Since they have put a few NCAA softball games on ESPN I have noticed the majority of teams now where traditional looking baseball uniforms--long pants etc.. My question is why? I don't understand the female mentality behind uniforms whether it be basketball and now softball. In tennis for...

Talk about strange. I was looking forward to watching Ross put up huge numbers his senior year but noticed his name was missing from Nebraska depth chart for 2005. Turns out he quit football and is apparently giving up sports. Go figure. He was a baseball player for several years in the minors...

OBSERVATIONS----I watched most of the draft and a few things stuck in my craw. First of all if one needs any more evidence that Al Davis is finished just check out his first 2 draft picks. Fabian Washington and Stanford Routt, two speedy cbs. - Washington was ballyhooed as a freshman starter...

Mel Kiper mentioned that the tag franchise QB in draft talk only applies in rare cases--he cited Elway. In fact most great QB's arrive at that point --ie Tom Brady----unexpectedly at least in part. I agree with Kiper. With that in mind Alex Smith could be that special QB. Athletically superior...

Even the facts are being distorted. In the paper today I noticed they refrained from mentioning Sheffield shoved the fan. And it went on to congratulate Sheffield for showinggreat restaint. I always knew Sheffield was a great guy but now my appreciation has swollen to even greater heights. Man...

Maria turns 18 today!!!!! So guys that means it is OK to date her now. Shouldn't be too difficult. You will have to stand in a line though and that might take some time like forever or something like that. Whatever--she is great for tennis and great for sports. So witty and smart too. A toast to...

Still unsure about intent of guy who swiped his arms but I believe he has beenbanned a whole year which is not fair because evidence is shaky.. It did appear the second fellow spilled his beer on Sheffield on purpose but even that isn't a100% lock. He has also been banned for a year I believe...

Covington a speedster out of Atlanta area has retired from Pirates to concentrate on football at Georgia Southern. He batted .067 or something after 45 at bats. Kind of soon to give up on baseball but frankly it is nice to see an athlete recognize a folly early enoughand return to his better...

Yes it is nice to have the Belgiansback. And the Elena Dementieava-JHH final at family Cup was an excellent display of athletic , quick tennis players.

The problem with baseball is that there is too much standing around. Too many white kids look to be pitchers, catchers and power hitters. Even many in the more speed oriented positions don't take foot speed sreiously enough.Same is true in basketball where shooting generallytakes precedence...

Very interesting take Sportspower. I agree with your premise that something drastic needs to be applied to young white athletes so that they can once again start making a real mark in sports like football and basketball. I think track training overrides the other aspects and as we know few...

Finally reason is prevailing. Mel Kiper figures teams now are looking at Matt Jones as a WR/QB prospect. This only reinforces what has been said here at caste numerous times that a move to TE made no sense whatsoever. Jones was never hyped as much as Texas QB Vincent Young. No surprise there.His...

First and foremost Sheffield is one of those all american turds with a terrible history.. Former Mets GM Steve Philipshit the nail on the head when he said Sheffield should be suspended. That annoying Mike Greenberg and his Notre Dame pal Mike Golic on ESPN radio felt Sheffield was in the right...

Those SI player reports are bogus. Suter was blowing by people in 2003 and this top end speed questionmy rear.I saw him run back sveral punts all the way. Might be quickest guy in draft.Suter has superior speed to Randle-El. Legit 4.3 speed.Same clownsreport Nick Speegle runs a 4.75. Yeh right...

At the blackfest speed celebration of Miami Nike training camp by rivals.com all I see are black HS juniors(class of 2006) running blistering times of 4.3 yards in the dash. Always an annoying trend.Neaves is probably black as well but if someone can figure out if he is white would be...

I mistakenly mentioned Maryland's Steve Suter was a junior. I guess he is eligible for this draft. Suter had a great 2003 season as kick/punt returner while also being effective as a WR. This past season he was hit with some injuries thus his production fell off. Funny thing is there has been...

And like to add young tennisplayers have restrictions. Unlike a HS player drafted in the NBA who can play every game is warrented etc.., younger femaletennis players are only allowed to enter x number of events. It is important to clarfy these matters because the media too often pretends all the...

I think it is most important to remember a thought that escapes the media when discusiing Jesse Owens and Hitler. Hitler went onan even greaterevil rampage after the "humiliation" of Owens beating the Germans. So it isn't as if Owen's victories changed Hitler's mind for the better. People have...

The media should point out the great difference between young tennis stars an NBA players who arrive fresh out of HS. One obvious difference is that the NBA player is given a lucrative contract wheras in individual sports like tennis and golf you have to earn it on a weekly basis. O'Neal and the...
