Lesnar proves size does matter Despite it coming just weeks after Bernard Hopkins proved that a 45-year-old combat athlete doesn't have to turn into primordial paste in the ring, returning UFC champion Randy Couture -- as much an MMA institution as the cage itself -- failed in his attempt to write yet another storybook epilogue to a peerless career.

Kevin Garnett’s greatness awes coach OK, so it was a wonderful achievement for Kevin Garnett last season when the big guy stepped into the Garden, and into local sports lore, by helping lead the Celtics to their 17th NBA championship.
After all those years with the Minnesota Timberwolves, all those years of missing out on the NBA's grand stage, Garnett brought his talent, his desire, his smarts and his work ethic to Boston. And it paid off with a championship.

Cowboys Find A Cure For "Pac Man Fever..." The Dallas Cowboys cut troubled cornerback Adam "Pac Man" Jones. The second-year player's contract will be officially terminated on February 9, the first day NFL teams are allowed to process such transactions.

As a disappointed Cowboys fan, I never did feel comfortable with his initial signing. I just hope that this is the first step to clearing out the bullshit in the locker room in order to bring Dallas back into prominence.

Power Play The Blazer score what turns out to be a crucial basket on the Celtics with an extra player on the floor. Surprisingly the Blazers employed no subterfuge and left all six players on the court to be spotted by the refs. After discovering the mistake officials still let the basket stand.

No, not at all but shouldn't the right call be made when given all of the facts? They obviously saw that there were 6 men on the court after the ensuing basket so why should the basket still count after the fact?

Mark Teixeira is a Yankee. The three top free agents are now members of the Yankees and Manny rumours have started (although, they may stop now). Finally, fans can watch an all-star game played 162 games a season.

Everything would change. That means the Yankees would spend more money than the rest of MLB, with only a few teams even close. Oh wait, nothing changed.
Next idea?
Good point.

Raymond van Barneveld comes up with a 9-darter in the PDC world championship. The crowd and commentators go wild. (Him, not so much.)

Did he even realize what he done? He just had this look on his face that said, "Why are you people in my room?"
I agree with most everyone on here that commented on the commentators, they're awesome!

And why should we take this any more seriously than any of the other unfounded junk you've said around here?
If there's something you really want to say to me, my email address is right there and you're more than welcome to say what's on your mind. If not, keep your little comments to yourself because you come across as childish.
I could care less if you don't take what I have to say seriously. Either you can provided information claiming otherwise or you can move it along.

I can totally understand why the C's lost their focus. The refs basically gave away two points to the Blazers even though they were aware that there were 6 men on the court. To say that the points stand because they came before the refs noticed that there were 6 men is absolutely ridiculous and the refs should have made the right call regardless and dealt with the league offices the next day.
This is exactly why there are still people out there that suspect that the NBA is rigged. I do not think it is but these kind of blown calls are happening more & more and with all the technological advances that we have in this day & age, these kind of situations should be nipped in the bud before they get out of hand.

The MLB Network Visibility and credibility are crucial to the MLB Network's success. Some cable systems have been running the channel for several weeks to give viewers a sneak peek at loops of World Series recaps and other highlights. The official launch is New Year's Day at 6 p.m. ET when a daily one-hour Hot Stove show debuts.

Does anyone know if there will be an extra charge for this channel?
With the success of the NFL Network and NBA TV, I think it's safe to assume that there will be a price tag attached to this channel.

I do this paying off. The indoor field looks great and realistic and the revolving anchor desk sounds awesome! As far as reporting baseball with all of this new technology, I truly cannot wait to see this unfold. I know that I'll be watching.

Off with their heads! The NFL's Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns and New York Jets fire Rod Marinelli, Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini, respectively, from their head coaching positions. Who's next?

One would think Wade Phillips would be on that list sooner rather than later...
What is wrong with you people? Didn't you hear what Jerry Jones had to say about that? "The coaching staff is in place"
Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean!

Someone should have told him to win a few playoff games before acting like a star
Going out with Jessica Simpson automatically makes Romo out to be "acting like a star"?
Romo seems like one of the most down to earth people in the NFL even though he is the QB for the Cowboys. I can say without a shadow of doubt, that Romo has never acted like a star or demanded to be treated like a star. Sorry that I cannot say the same for T.O., he thrives with people treating him like a star.

And I don't want to root for a team that spends 70 million more than any other
I'm not telling you who to root for, you can root for whoever the hell you want. The point that I made was that there's a bunch of people all upset for the Yankees spending spree. I made no mention as to who was upset, just that there are some people that are upset over this and being that I'm no Yankees fan, it's surprising that I'm not one of them.
I can respect any team that puts money gained back into their team for the possibility of a playoff berth. People call it "buying a championship" but I beg to differ. I call it smart for business.

Well the Cowgirls have become a laughing stock of the NFL after what the Eagles did to them yesterday. Bigger of a laughingstock than Detroit
Stop it! There's no way that my 'Boys are anywhere near comparable to the losingest team in NFL history. You're just being a hater!
I'm a huge COWBOYS fan but even I saw this one coming. This season has been one to forget. As soon as Romo got hurt, I knew we were in trouble. When the whole fiasco with T.O, Romo & Witten happened, I knew we were in trouble. When the 'Boys traded for Roy Williams, I loved the 'idea' of bringin in another weapon just like all us other Cowboys fans out there but as soon as the ball was not even going in Roy's direction, I knew we were in trouble.
Romo has used Witten as a safety net in the past but this season, he made Witten his #1 target and that made for some very bad news. Witten is one hell of a player and if his career continues the way is has been, he'll be a Hall of Fame Tight End. The only problem that I have with this is the simple fact that you cannot keep throwing to Witten like if he has no other options.
Owens is the deep threat and Williams the possession reciever, then you throw in Witten that should be used when we need a 1st down or to pick up yardage. The scheme was all wrong but I'm not entirely sold that it's the coaching. Maybe it's discipline that they're lacking and it could've been not having someone like Bill Parcells around to ensure that Romo wouldn't look back at his God-awful throws as "oh well, shit happens".
This makes me sick to my stomach for him to act so nonchalant when basically, this season meant nothing, at least to me!
The Eagles just plain whupped on my 'Boys and I'm not going to sugar coat it one bit. They came out with the fire & hunger that a REAL team needs to have. I wish the Eagles all the best of luck in the playoffs and maybe, just maybe...they'll be this years Giants.

i still dont understand why this is allowed!! MLB needs a salary cap
Why this is allowed? The Yankees paid a $25 million dollar luxury tax for all of their spending and they are doing nothing wrong here.
Now I totally hate the Yankees but you have to give it to them, at least they're putting the money that they made back into the team. Any baseball fan or sports fan for that matter would love for their teams to do the very same thing so I don't know why people are getting so upset over this.
At least the Yankees are doing what they need to do in order to please their fans. Sorry I can't say that about a lot of other teams out there, including my Mets who are more concerned about their bullpen (rightfully so) than who is going to take over left field (Man-Ram anyone?)

While I obviously do not have inside information on his contract, given that he violated a direct order makes it more like he resigned rather than was terminated
In a way, that's pretty much what he did although he did not violate any rules. Jeff Jagodzinski didn't seem as if he wanted to continue his coaching career with BC and with the way things transpired, why would he want to go back there anyways. He'll find a job somewhere in the NFL and he'll still be getting paid from BC so I have no reason to feel sorry for the man.
