Nadal and Roddick speak out against the 11 month tennis season.: After injuries force Nadal, Roddick, Federer and Andy Murray out this season, some of the top players are outwardly expressing their distaste for a lack of offseason. "It's ridiculous to think that you have a professional sport that doesn't have a legitimate off-season to rest, get healthy, and then train," Roddick said. "I just feel sooner or later that common sense has to prevail."

Dany Heatley: wants out of Ottawa. With 5 years @ 7.5 Million a season left and complete control over his destination with a no-movement clause, it's hard to imagine Bryan Murray's feeling good about his job right now.

It's an herb. Next we'll be citing people for possession of Oregano.
Yeah, and coca leaves are just like basil leaves! Plants can't hurt us, can they?

tahoemoj, i could care less how long you have been on here.
It's not at all helping your point that you're combative about it. You've insulted several people's intelligence without any grounds to do so, despite mod intervention you continue to push your point and you show no care for the community in the least. The fact you haven't been banned is a testament to the patience of the admins.
There are 159 million mentions of the word Fuck on Google. Perhaps your son should not be on the internet if he's so impressionable.

As far as taking pride in being American, I don't tend to think in those terms much at all.
You do, enough to specifically single an immigrant's achievement as something that doesn't stir your American pride. Have you done the same thing for, say, an American-born athlete? I doubt it.

Mr. Rovell should remember that most in that beautiful country of yours started out the same way that Keflezighi did. A little historical perspective gives one the notion that all citizens are indeed citizens, no matter how long they've lived there.

It sounded crazy at the time but PETA's come out drawing a line from Manu Ginobli to Michael Vick. Note that in the article on Ginobli, the line "no respect or consideration for lives humbler than his own" links to the PETA chronicles on Michael Vick. Unbelievable.

If Chad Gaudin starts a World Series game, the Yankees should be disqualified. There are basic standards at play here!

Ealey is fine, if spikes wanted to gouge his eyes out he had plenty of time to do so. but what i found out was that on the previous play Ealey spit in his face, and all Spikes did was wipe off the spit and was trying to smear it on Ealey's face.
Got anything to back that statement up?

What a shitty play. I hope the SEC throws the book at him. And it hits him in the eye.

Rajon Rondo signs a 5yr, 55m deal with the Celtics. As a Raptors fan, I am crying a little bit that for the next five years, we're paying Turkoglu the same money.

If a ball hits your temple or strikes you chest, the damage will be the same whether it hits at X speed or X+8 speed.
You, uh, skipped physics class, didn't you?

I have absolutely no use for either of those services but I also can't see them hurting the huddle.

You mean they weren't already doing this?
I guess when he took a leak at halftime, they darted the camera away. No more.
John Madden should be punished for his crimes against sportscasting by having to call the BrettFavreCam. "Oh definitely, I think the man knows how to shave a face! You can see the cross pattern he uses. Incredibly effective!"

In a move that will thrill SpoFi fans worldwide, Fox will have a camera on Brett Favre the entire game this Sunday.

Should SportsFilter Think of the Children?
Whoa. I don't understand the pile-on on kerrycindy.
There's nothing like a consensus opinion to change someone's mind.
