This is what I've been thinking for the past couple of months regarding the NFL and the NFLPA: get over yourselves and get a deal done. That's really the bottom line. I'm as happy as anyone that there wasn't a lockout officially declared tonight, but the 24-hour extension may have just delayed the inevitable.  Is anyone else perturbed by the thought of millionaires arguing with other millionaires about millions of dollars? The NFL is a $9,000,000,000,000-plus industry. Yes, that's 12 zeros. You'd think that a room full of millionaires could figure something out with that much revenue instead of saying ...

Today’s Tweet-exchange between Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart is just the latest in a long list of real life issues between wrestlers that have spilled out into the public. Earlier in the day Bret Hart was asked on Twitter about his thoughts on TNA and how he’d improve the product. His response was, "I'd have Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff tar and feathered.” Later, when Hart was asked about his thoughts on Hulk Hogan, he replied, “Hogan's nothing but a two-faced, backstabbing, steroid freak who deserved everything he got." That started a brief exchange between the two with Hogan saying, “Listen to where ...

Brandon Davies was not even born the last time BYU (27-3, 13-2 Mountain West) vaulted to No. 3 in the ranking. That ascension occurred during the 1987-88 season, a full three years before Davies’ birth. The Cougars’ game and chances at a NCAA title appeared on the rise, but their climb was short-lived, as they promptly lost to New Mexico in a 82-64 rout. Davies did not play in BYU’s first seasonal home loss. Instead, he likely watched the game as he contemplated the turnabout his life just took in the past 24 hours. BYU suspended Davies for the remainder ...

Today is the 107th birthday of Theodor Geisel. Well, it would be had he still been alive.If that name does not sound familiar to many of you, there is a good reason. Geisel was better known to children everywhere as Dr. Seuss.As a matter of fact, even at this age today, any time anyone asks me about the last book, I tell them I can't recall the title, but that it was written by a doctor.They never ask which one.Geisel created so many memorable books and characters that I would like to pay homage to the man, but tie this ...

Yesterday, following the release of Forbes' most miserable sports cities list, I came up my own list of the toughest U.S. cities to be a professional sports fan. I took more factors into consideration for my list, and feel it is a more accurate depiction of true heartache.

It would appear Black History Month ended with February’s conclusion. Not so for Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling. In last Sunday’s edition of the Los Angeles Times, a full-page ad pictured Sterling next to Blake Griffin with a “Clippers Celebrate Black History Month” headline.  The ad’s short blurb describes an event, a March 2 Clippers game, where “In honor of Black History Month, the Clippers will admit 1,000 underprivileged children free.” Maybe Sterling thought 2011 is a leap year, which could explain the ad’s Sunday publication. In any case, Sterling does deserve a small measure of credit for deciding to give consideration to ...

Spoiler alert! If you are a fan of The Bachelor 15 and do not know what is happening online, then stop reading. Reality Steve is eating crow again and losing credibility. He missed on last year’s The Bachelorette and is retracting his statements on this year’s The Bachelor. For a long time, Reality Steve has been adamant that Brad Womack picks Chantel O’Brien on the final show. Now he admits he is wrong and states on his blog that Brad picks Emily Maynard. This comes as no surprise, as it has been so obvious on the show that Brad gives Emily “special” attention—so ...

Forbes has released their list of the 10 most miserable sports cities in the United States, and at least one of the cities comes as a great surprise to me. It should come as disgust to sports fans in the city of Atlanta. I recently came up with my own top 10 list of the toughest cities to be a sports fan—and it is a far more accurate ranking in comparison to the one put out by Forbes. When coming up with the most miserable cities for their list, Forbes takes into account a "sports heartbreak index" as opposed to ...

Forbes has released their list of the most miserable sports cities. Some may take a list such as theirs to heart, but I do not.It has nothing to do with the fact that it comes from Forbes, but rather the fact that they consider too many factors while coming up with their choices.Real fans care about two things: Success and progress.Forbes focuses on a "sports heartbreak index" that identifies the city in which fans had teams good enough to give them hope, only to ultimately let them down.Here is their overall top 10, and while I may not agree with all ...
