A Moving Tribute: Angels Celebrate Playoff Berth with Nick Adenhart: Traditionally, when a Major League Baseball team secures a playoff spot, they have a party in the clubhouse where they spray champagne and beer all over the place.

While celebrating in the clubhouse, the Angels grabbed the jersey of the late Nick Adenhart and began pouring champagne on it.

You can still sorta claim Roy Williams
No thank you. Cincinnati can have him, he just wasn't what the 'Boys expected when we...er, they drafted him.

Getting caught with a misdemeanor amount of weed shouldn't even be news, and it certainly shouldn't trigger any kind of testing or suspension for Lincecum.
My sentiments exactly.
Like it or not the guy is or was a role model for a lot of young people, and this is going to dissapoint some of his fans
Why, because he didn't share his weed?

On several levels this disgusts me more than the Spikes eye gouge
I was thinking the same thing. This was a complete disgrace.

Here's what the Yankees can't buy.

Given that I'm a recreational smoker myself, I don't see anything wrong with Lincecum toking up a little bit of burn. He got cited, may pay a fine and will move on from there. MLB has every right to fine and/or suspend him if they choose to but I find that highly (no pun intended) doubtful.

I just don't see Hines Ward as a "dirty player". IMO he was voted as the top guy for the NFL's Dirtiest Player honors just because he hits back.
Players on defense are just not used to having to have their head on a swivel too
I agree. Troy Polamalu is also on this list and he is by far one of the most intimidating defensive player in the league because he is successful.
I just hate that none of my 'Boys were on the list from either defense or offense.

Cheat mode isn't really cheating in videogames -- it's exploiting a special advantage.
I have to disagree with this statement. It's called cheat mode for a reason, because you're cheating. It's not called Special Advantage mode, it's called cheat mode.
Playing in cheat mode doesn't give the player all of the achievements for beating a game that they would have earned if they just played by the rules.
The Yankees aren't cheating or in cheat mode, they are playing within the rule of the MLB. IMO, there's no reason as to why this would cheapen their World Series victory and this is coming from someone who despises the Yanks but respects the fact that they put money earned right back into the organization instead of hoarding it all.

The NFL is a mediocre shell of its former self because of the parity and the salary cap.
Actually, the NFL is one of the most popular sports out there and if you believe it to be "a mediocre shell of its former self because of the parity and the salary cap", IMO you're sadly mistaken.
The only gripe that I have with the NFL is that they're becoming too soft with throwing a flag if a QB is hit after throwing the ball. it's just becoming too much like two hand touch football.

I'm no fan of the Yanks but for what Girardi did to help this woman was a terrific thing to do. Damn him!!

I have to agree with my fellow SpoFites on this subject KC. There is a way that things have been ran on this site before I even became a member and I had to adjust to the way things were. This site is a lot more casual then other sites out there but with a lot more intelligent and well informed individuals who actually still have discussions whether they agree with one another or not about whatever subject is being discussed.
If you feel that the language is not suitable for your child, there are many proactive ways to block out the language as already have been pointed out to you and/or other sites that you are free to visit that do not allow that sort of vulgarity. There's not need to become hostile towards other members when all they're doing is trying to be helpful to your cause.
I do not believe that we should have to watch our language since this site was made for adults who are passionate about sports and that's the majority of the members here. If children check this site out and read the posts, be a parent to your child and educate them on what you feel is appropriate language in your household.

If I have offended anyone for taking them to task about their uneducated use of the English language, I apologize.
If I'm not too late, I would like to chime in on this topic. I can understand where KC is coming from but the thing is, profanity is everywhere and it's not going to go away. As a parent, it is your responsibilty on educating your children on what you believe to be acceptable or not acceptable.
Now saying that...Here's someone I would like to introduce you to. He was a very educated man who can put things in perspective for you and your child.

Nice to see that after 9 long years, George was finally able to buy that next world series title.
I'm no fan of the Yanks but what is so wrong with a team that spends big in order to win big? You have to respect the fact that at least they're willing to pay (and sometimes over pay) to be the last team standing and winning it all.
Spending tons of money doesn't always mean that they'll be the World Series champs as we all can attest to but I'm just glad that it wasn't the Phillies that won it again.

I watched the video several times and all I could focus on was a severe case of male pattern baldness. Poor Manu!
I was honesty thinking the same thing which is why IMO he cut his hair very short...so that the severe case of male pattern baldness wouldn't look so severe.

Women's Soccer Playoff Turns Ugly
The elbow and the punch was a bit much but HOLY COW the hair pull. And MAN did she ever sell it like death too!
Dude, take another look at the hair pull. Her neck was stretched back which made it a more dangerous manuever than just a hair pull.
