Michael Vick: Would Tucker Carlson Have Decided Also To Execute Thomas Edison?
On January - 1 - 2011
(Warning this blog contains asinine puns and pop-culture references that might not be suitable for starving artists). Judging by the title, you might think that is a non-sequitor, but follow me on this. Recently, Tucker Carlson on The Great American Panel of FOX News gave his opinion on NFL star Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles. “I’m a Christian, I’ve made mistakes myself. I believe fervently in second chances. But Michael Vick killed dogs. And he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should have been executed for that.” There are so ...
Is Jay Mariotti Nothing More Than a Bigot From Western, Pa.?

(Spare me the innocuous accusation that I am playing the race card, because that insinuates that I am not adhering to facts, when this is nothing but fact).
Seems like Ozzie Guillen's body languageĀ said it all. But here is what I'm saying.
If you are a regular reader of my articles, you would know about my ongoing topic of questioning the integrity of ESPN employees, or even my official boycott of ESPN.
More precisely, reporting the truth about the malicious gossiper known as Jay Mariotti of Around the Horn , and ESPN's blatant attempt to assassinate the career of Raiders coach Tom Cable ...
His Words: Rush Limbaugh Has Right To Speak, But No Right To Be Heard
On November - 5 - 2009
I'll make this simple.
In the recent months, there has been a backlash at the NFL for dropping Rush Limbaugh from the group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams.
Limbaugh's defenders have argued that it violated free speech or ran amuck of free-speech. The irony is that, it was the result of Limbaugh's own words, in more than one way.
Limbaugh speaks his mind, or at least what he thinks his audience wants to hear. That doesn't play well with everyone. Not everyone is a fan of Limbaugh, some are even angered by him.
Some in the media even quoted things that Limbaugh never ...
What I Really Mean: Why Does ESPN Undermine the Oakland Raiders?
On November - 5 - 2009
We in Raider Nation have long asserted that ESPN "had it out" for Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders. In the past year, that idea has gone from mere complaints of perception to blatantly clear to objective observers of ESPN coverage of the Raiders.
Though I cannot prove who has done what and why, I do wonder aloud, "Why does ESPN undermine the Raiders and Al Davis?"
Davis has long represented what I had long thought were the sympathies of the, "East Coast Media." As we have learned in recent weeks, many NFL owners are to the right of Rush Limbaugh even ...
Why the US Congress Should Create a Public Sports Network
On November - 3 - 2009
Had people been more willing to ask questions and educate themselves, they would have been more skeptical of predatory lenders. That though does not absolve the Wall Street businesses that spent and invested beyond their means, and thus aggressively pursued naive customers.
Anyone who follows my articles would know that I don't back down from what I believe, and that I detest corporate news in all forms: MSNBC, FOX News, CNN, E!, ESPN.
They're all the same to me, and the fact is that, the jobs are transmutable.
Reporters from ESPN have left for employment with networks like MSNBC to cover subjects unrelated ...
