Ever since Bleacherreport.com decided that changes were going to be made, I was all for it. Things here have been stale, and we do need to have changes to improve this place. The addition of the Forum has been good, and the medals are shiny, so I like them. And the rankings give me a big head, therefore I have no issue with them either. One thing that I have a massive issue with, is the new found censorship B/R has developed recently. I was offered a WWE/TNA Featured Writer Position by B/R. I am one of the few who are a ...

John Young will never be able to dunk a basketball. Probably wouldn't fare very well in the high jump and more than likely will never be asked to put the star on the top of the community Christmas tree. At 4'4" tall, there are many more "size-dependent challenges" where John Young wouldn't have a very high probability of success, either. But rather than focus on the "can't do's" in life, Young continues to prove to the naysayers, to himself, and, perhaps most importantly, to his 7-year-old son Owen, that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, ...

Why do we really want Tiger Woods to come clean? We’ve all read the numerous articles virtually begging Tiger Woods to come clean, but why?  What is really fueling our desire to find out exactly what happened outside of Tiger Woods’ private home at 2:30 am last Friday morning? Are we concerned that he’s gotten away with a crime? Not likely.  He hit a fire hydrant and a tree on private property.  The only person injured in the incident was Tiger Woods (the fire hydrant got banged up to).  In fact, the police have already issued him a citation for careless driving and closed the ...

Darren Bent’s escapades on Twitter have drawn interest from the media in recent times. The English striker was back in the papers for his online comments following Sunderland’s defeat at Wigan Athletic.  The ex-Tottenham forward alleged that his mother, Shirley, had been the victim of racial abuse by one of his team’s own supporters: “So we get beat by wigan and to make matters worse my mum gets racially abused by a SUNDERLAND fan. I wont stand for that.” Neither have the Greater Manchester Police force. Their Northumbrian counterparts arrested a 26-year-old man in Chester-le-Street yesterday evening in connection with the incident. The ...

He's getting away with something. Something I couldn't get away with. That's the bottom line on the recent Tiger Woods story. That's what's bugging me. And I'm not even sure what it is (although I have my suspicions). This episode reminds me (again) of the gulf that exists between sports figures and fans. And I keep finding myself on the outside looking at and in. I can't even pull off not cleaning the litter box for a day before my wife is screaming at me at the top of her lungs. Never mind providing fodder for the paparazzi. Are you kidding me? Yeah, it's ...

Nothing would ever be the same again. You must go. A book was purchased for me called "Mr. Lincoln's Camera Man: Matthew B. Brady" by Roy Meredith by a woman named Grace. Inside the front cover was written, June 2, 1990 Dearest Michael, The only reason I that I have inundated you with Civil War books is because I fully believe in your cosmic connection and attraction to that time, those people, and those events; I believe in your absolute, imperative need to make that trip next week; and I believe in you. Enjoy every joy and pain you take; take everything, see everything, touch ...

As the quasi-beat writer for the Boston Breakers of the Women's Professional Soccer League, I presented a weekly expose of the Breakers players last season in an attempt to introduce Boston's newest professional athletes to the fans of Beantown. Though a valiant attempt, my "Meet The Breakers" series was at best, a recap of goals, assists, caps, and career highlights and never really presented the players as the down-to-earth, approachable athletes that they are. I have never been and probably never will be a little girl (thank God for little miracles) but I've found the athletes of the WPS to ...

Tiger Woods called his boat after the word. Sports stars all over the world say the word. Over and over again. Some fans think a star who is truculent to the media is a bit of an idiot, when doesn't he have a right to privacy? In fact, don't all sports stars have a right to privacy? YES Sports stars are human beings. True, they live in the human zoo called sports—and they came to the game to 'get famous' and then 'get paid,' but the bottom line is this: They are all human beings. And because they are human beings, we shouldn't be asking ...
