I think it has everything to do with the owner
This is the same ownership who had the franchises' greatest player walk away in his prime - there's a message in there somewhere.
Ownership and management have a great deal to do with a team's success, without a big shakeup the Lions are not likely to get any better no matter how many high draft choices they get.

Hernandez and a handful of others had good seasons and deserved mention.
But ... Absolutely no one had a season close to ZG's.
Is there a listing of the votes and voters somewhere? I can't imagine where the other 3 votes went.

Zack Greinke wins the AL Cy Young. 25 of 28 first place votes
Hard to believe this wasn't unanimous, lots of quality pitchers in the AL but none even deserved to be mentioned in the same class as ZG this year.

Bengals sign Johnson ...
Cincy is 7-2 and playing well.
Interesting to see if this pans out to be a TO / Pacman scenario where a good team is destroyed, or if it works (Moss New England, Favre Vikings)

holden - thanks for posting those, a few of the more obvious examples.
rcade - does that meet your criteria for ridicule?

it would have been widely ridiculed
It was reported, hence my ridicule.
You don't think I know what I'm talking about, I believe you are a fan of the team and see the QB in a different light - we all have our opinions.

When has Tony Romo ever refused to shoulder responsibility in a loss?
Are you serious? or possibly just a die hard Cowboys Fan?
Obvious example ... Philly trounces Dallas, greatly aided by Romo's 4 or 5 turnovers. Romo takes the high road and blames the coaching staff and play calling. Not saying that Wade Phillips is in line to be the next Bill Walsh, but still shows a lack of leadership on Romo's part.

Hey, if nothing else ... the results of that call showed during the post game interviews last night ... just how classy a guy Tom Brady is.
Not a big Pats fan, but you are dead on. More than just class, it's leadership, and another indication of why Brady is as successful as he is.
Also is the main reason why guys like Romo can't bring success to a team with equal or possibly superior talent. Players who don't shoulder responsibility are not leaders.

If you're going to go for it on 4th-and-2, how about running a pattern that's deeper than 2-1/2 yards?
Agreed .. the call to go seemed legit, the actual play called and route they threw to is a head scratcher.

Although I think Bellicheat is evil, I do respect him putting trust in his team's strength to finish the game. If they make the play, game is over. If he punts there's a better chance Indy drives 80 yards again and wins.

use Hines Ward as a DB
Right - Ever seen coWard confront anyone face to face? Guy makes his living gooning players when they aren't looking ..

Jeter? Gold Glove?
(Bash On)
Real lack of quality defensive 'stops in the AL, apparently. Has anyone ever seen a highlight of a Jeter defensive play?
(/Bash Off)
Really, although it's hard to believe as he's always looked like a 2nd baseman playing short, he is the best at his position in the AL.

What could possibly be more important than preventing the nation from further infection by the Evil Empire?

Celebration is teammates congratulating each other for good play.
All of the other crap (posing, chest bump, goofy dances, etc.) is not celebration and belongs only in the WWE.
It's unfortunate that we have a generation being raised watching the bonehead antics of guys such as TO, Shockey, and the guy so embarrased by himself that he had to change his name in Cincy. True role models for our youth.

SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle
I'm calling B.S. on the argument that this incident garnered more publicity because it was a woman who did it
Saw the clips and have to agree. Multiple 'loogan acts in cowardly fashion - that's one sick individual.
Truth is we don't often see that type of behavior in male sports as it would be "corrected" real quick after the first act. Females don't respond in the same manner and this wacko took advantage of that fact.
