Does Bonds have a mechanical advantage? Michael Witte provides a pretty interesting analysis of the possible impact of Barry Bonds' elbow armor apparatus, and how it might benefit his swing.

Tim Hardaway, the yin to Jon Amaechi's yang: "First of all I wouldn't want him on my team," said Hardaway. "Second of all, if he was on my team I would really distance myself from him because I don't think that's right and I don't think he should be in the locker room when we're in the locker room."

Ben Roethlisberger blogs the Super Bowl! Blogging quarterbacks is definitely a movement I support. Yeah. Blog previously mentioned here, but this is some fresh content, and deserves a mention.

Carson Palmer blogs his recovery "In terms of my injury, I will be completely ready for the 2006 NFL season and am anxious to get back out on the field with my teammates." He also talks about some details of the recovery process, urges the front office to resign John Kitna, and and avoids mention of how the injury happened. Though this blog is probably vetted by PR people, Palmer doesn't sound bitter, he sounds like a class act.

NBA brawl in the stands repeated Or something else? New York Knick Antonio Davis ran into the stands during a game in Chicago, claiming his wife's safety was being threatened. Larry Brown supported him, immediately drawing a distinction between what happened last night and what happened that fateful day last year at the Palace, saying "That thing that happened in the stands had nothing to do with the two teams. That's a man concerned about his family." Regardless, this incident underscores the weak, often ineffective security at sports venues around the country.

Stephon Marbury Leaves Knicks, Threatens to [Euphemism] Isiah Thomas The New York Knicks are imploding earlier than usual this season, with guard Stephon Marbury leaving the team after a verbal (and possibly physical) blowup with Coach Isiah Thomas that seems likely to send one or both packing. The New York Daily News quotes a threat Marbury allegedly made on the team plane, bowdlerized for your protection. "Isiah has to start me," Marbury said. "I've got so much [doody] on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can [snu-snu] me. But I'll [snu-snu] him first. You have no idea what I know."

The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves Wisconsin youth football coach threatens to kill one of his own players, then administers a helicopter slam, just to drive the message home. You know, maybe we should sign the kids up for the Debate Club instead.

It is possible that the 12 year old who got bodyslammed is a punk who really did take a cheap shot at this other kid, and deserved to be corrected in a reasonable fashion, i.e. verbal correction and perhaps being made to run some laps.
The problem with youth sports is the adults.

Steve Nash Wants to Buy Spurs No, not those Spurs -- Tottenham Hotspur in the Premiership. "I'd like to be an owner," he told the New York Times. "It's something I could do for the rest of my life after my little window of popularity dies." Nash, who played soccer in Canada as a youth and has a brother with Football Association experience, is a lifelong fan of the team like his London-born father.

As a Tottenham supporter, I really would like to see Nash pull this off - after he's won an NBA chamionship.

Chief Wahoo: A Modest Proposal.
posted to Baseball at 4:59 PM CDT
There is no defense of Chief Wahoo. At best he should be an object lesson about the institutionalized, casual racism that still exists today.
I think the best answer is to rename them the Cleveland Tribe, and change their mascot to be in honor and remembrance of the area tribes that got so royally fucked when their land was taken. They could do a mascot in honor of Tecumseh, for example. It has to happen, now is the time.

ESPN Anchor Scott Van Pelt is a Flamer "You are the worst thing about internet sites ...

This is why the best thing slashdot has ever done is to automatically name all users who post anonymously a so-called 'Anonymous Coward.'
Corollary: John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.
Sometimes, in spite of my libertarian instinct for privacy and freedom of speech, I wonder if it would be such a bad thing to require people online to post using their real names. It would put a stop to a lot of the pointless dickwaving and internet tough guy oneupmanship that destroys so many 'discussions' online.

Michael Vick Admits to Dogfighting, Will Plead Guilty The Falcons quarterback has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in his federal dogfighting case and will enter his guilty plea Monday, his attorney said today. No word yet on what sentence he might receive. Vick and his codefendants, who already reached deals, face up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

A baseball card signed by mother theresa? I don't get why it's so valuable. I don't follow card collecting at all, either. Can someone fill me in on what I'm missing?

robi8259: did you actually read the article? Is blah blah blah your summary of the article or simply your reaction to the way I worded the post?
I thought the article made some good explanations of how the mechanics of the swing could be aided by a physical guide.
What would really help would be side by side evidence carefully detailing the evolution of his swing, especially up to the point in 2001 where he got the final iteration of the armor and really started his record breaking pace.

Legendary coach and general manager Scotty Bowman is strongly considering joining the Maple Leafs in an advisory role. The question is as a mentor to GM John Ferguson Jr. and Head Coach Paul Maurice or does this portend a major shake-up in the Leafs organization?
posted to Hockey at 9:43 AM CDT
Well, that explains why the Leafs are so mediocre - they're owned by a teacher's union.

Will the Web Kill the Local Sports Page? In a discussion about the future of newspapers, A-list blogger Matthew Yglesias argues that the sports section is being killed off by sites like ESPN.Com and Yahoo Sports. "Sports specialty sites will have the best sports coverage," he writes.

The Dayton Daily News refuses to cover the National Hockey League in any meaningful way. They have at least two beat reporters just covering the Cincinnati Reds. About ten years ago I wrote one of the sports reporters about why they didn't cover hockey more, and he said 'there's not enough interest' and that turned me off to local sports news. I only read it to follow the local college sports teams, nothing more. Our sports page is basically mutating into a local sports digest with opinions and stuff on outdoors activities. They print national stories as a matter of course, but who cares?

Softball Practice Ground Ball Kills Girl Michigan 12-year-old was knocked unconscious on field and died one day later.
posted to General at 3:50 PM CDT
This is the same way that girl was killed at a Blue Jackets hockey game in Columbus several years ago - high speed impact didn't kill, the snap of the head backwards.
What a tragedy.

Eric Staal's bachelor party nets fourteen arrests. Sure, it ain't no refs on the take from the mafia, marquee quarterback in dog fighting imbroglio, or steroid (?) icon taking over one of the marquee records in the game, but, man, the NHL is MESSED UP.

Ok so some drunk hockey players (kids mostly) make a bunch of noise and have to spend a night in the drunk tank as a result. What a compelling story.
Let's see, no drugs, no hookers, no dog fighting, no gun shots fired, and nobody went to the hospital. Looks like they woke up some cranky neighbors.
What's the problem again?

I have to automatically side with Stephon, as I have to give him credit for the Starbury shoe, and the fact that Isiah Thomas is quite obviously a massive douche.
