Royals add 4 Free Agents It appears that the Royals are actually spending that new found payroll in an attempt to turn around their dismal skid.

So his coach offers support? Buy him a jockstrap. Why do NFL coaches abound that refuse to hold behavioral standards for their players? It's simple. Their employers don't require it. Supporting this guy (and his appeals) is dumb. If he wins his appeal, how much you want to bet he gets caught again NEXT season?

I have become fascinated with curling. It is like bowling, in Antarctica. Wonderful sport.

Moore Files Second Suit vs. Bertuzzi, Seeks $15 Million TORONTO -- Former NHL player Steve Moore filed another lawsuit against Todd Bertuzzi for the on-ice attack by the Vancouver Canucks forward nearly two years ago. Wow, is that in U.S. dollars or Canadian?

I hope he takes Bertuzzi for all of it

The Rocket to represent the United States. Roger Clemens, who has currently not said whether he will play another season, has been picked to be on the United States team in the World Baseball Classic.

Who cares, as long as he is pitching for the U.S. Even though he is eligible for Social Security, he is one of the best in the business. He has low ERA's every year and he brings confidence to the team.

There is more than one way to eliminate the Yankees. It becomes an issue where kids are devastated when they find out they are on the Yankees. Many kids actually pray they will not be on the Yankees when the rosters and teams are announced. Heh...

The Yankees and the Red Sox are both ridiculous. They spend more money on salaries then most of the MLB combined. Why don't they just pay each other to go home and shut up. It is ridiculous to bring youth baseball into their petty squabbling. Let the kids have fun. The whole point of youth sports is to have fun and learn SPORTSMANSHIP. NOw we are saying that money is what is important. Great idea.

It is great for the kids that they get free jerseys and everything, the question should be, "Why can't the Sox give that stuff away anyways. Why do they have to be acting like little children squabbling over who is bettera before they do something good for the community?" It appears to me that the Yankees and the Sox are jealous because they have to buy fans. The Yankees buy championships and the Sox buy little kids with jerseys. Maybe they should look at the real organizations like the Cubs and the Cards whose fans love them no matter what.

Lions ink Mike Martz as Offensive Coordinator ALLEN PARK - The Detroit Lions today announced that they have reached agreement with former St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz as the team's offensive coordinator. Terms were undisclosed but is believed to be a three-year deal worth just over $4 million. SWEEEEEEEET...

As a St. Louis fan, we are more than happy to give him to you. We will miss his offensive prowess, but he was a cancer to our organization. I hope that he has better luck in Detroit.

Super Bowl watched in second-most homes behind final episode of M*A*S*H, which is kind of astounding in today's day and age of hundreds of cable (or dish) channels, not to mention video games, DVDs, and all kinds of other distractions. Guess that proves the NFL is truly America's pastime now, once and for all?

Woods beats Els in playoff to win Dubai Classic Tiger is 2 for 2. How many can he win this year?
posted to Golf at 12:50 AM CDT
Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer ever. He never loses a lead once it is established and if he gets behind, he is never out of the tournament. The man has ice in his veins.

Emmitt Smith: "Vote in Michael Irvin now." Michael Irvin is among the 15 finalists who will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the Hall's Board of Selectors meets in Detroit on Saturday. Irvin is the most controversial of the Cowboy triplets and Smith claims bias could be keeping him out. To that some claim Balderdash!

So what we are saying is that, gambling is not OK, but cocaine and prostitutes are. Great message NFL. Especially considering gambling is legal and the others are not.

113! Coach Ed Grezinsky noted, "We didn't start off like that to set a record], but she had 58 at halftime. At that point, I said, 'Just let her go.'"
posted to Basketball at 2:34 AM CDT
WOW -- 113 in one game is unbelievable. Kudos to her and I hope she does well.
Also, I was suprised by the Lisa Leslie note in the article. 110 in one half. Imagine if they had played the second half...200+???

I agree with the premise of the article, that being overweight is the number one contributor to heart disease. I also agree that the weight of the average lineman is getting out of hand. Most of them are no longer athletes, they are just overly strong fat guys.
However, towards the middle of the article, Professor Charles Yesalis, who teaches health policy and sports science at Penn State says that he fully supports a weight limit of 275 pounds. That is extreme and ridiculous. What about the athletes who are 6'8"+ and can easily weigh 300 lbs (what about Shaq, are you going to kick him out of the NBA).
This absurdity aside, I agree that the NFL as well as all professional sports need to start increasing health standards to protect these guys from themselves. Like or not they are role models and they need promote good health. Plus it is devastating to see these athletes dying at such young ages when it is preventable.
However, let us all keep in mind that our society as a whole has this same problem...me included.

But again, isn't that the point... That the NFL needs to protect these guys from acting stupidly. If you are welder, you are required by your job to wear a hood to keep from damaging your eyesight.
posted at 2:19 PM CDT on January 31
Atheist...On the flip side there ARE many jobs that do require health standards. (Police, Firefighter, Military, etc.) Also if you check the trends in society, many employers are beginning to offer incentives for employees to get healthier. You are right, but I think that the weight problem is becoming a major public health hazard and the Supreme Court may become more lax in allowing certain professions to slim down...Especially athletes who are supposed to be healthy and are in the limelight.

U. of Ill. Appeals to Keep Indian Mascot "This appeal is about the institutional autonomy of NCAA member schools," the university told the executive committee. "It is about flawed rules and process."
posted to Football at 11:46 AM CDT
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. No where have I heard the Native American tribes all over the country complaining about the colleges. I would think that it would be an honor that an institution would want to use your heritage to personify their school. (As with Florida State, the Seminole Indians are proud for them to use their names.)
If a tribe complains then the NCAA should take a look at THAT INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL, but a blanket ban is stupidest thing in the world. Where does it end??? Why doesn't NOtre Dame have to change their name to keep from offending Irish descendants OR what about Duke/Arizona State -- the "Devil" could offend the Christians, let's make them change their names. THis is absurd.

The_Black_Hand -- I don't understand what you are talking about. How specific do you need to get. Ricky Williams has been tested positive for drugs more 3 times (YES -- Marijuana is an ILLEGAL drug, like it or not). Is it a far stretch that he would be caught a fourth time. Ricky Williams has done nothing but show a complete disregard for the rules of the NFL. They should ban him from the game. As for Saban, he is an idiot if he thinks that backing Williams makes him look like a "players coach". I would venture to guess that most players don't want to put up with a distraction like him anymore.
