9 year old with a 40 mph fastball, gets the boot. I'm not sure what to make of this. On one hand I can see the punishment for being very good. On the other hand they allowed him to either play a different position or go up to the next level. I really dont know what to think about this but I have a 9 year old who I think could hit him :)

Schilling Calls Out The Rocket Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling called on Roger Clemens to give up the four Cy Young Awards he's won since 1997 if he can't clear his name from allegations that he used steroids to prolong and enhance his career.

2 pitchers for the price of one? I can see KC picking this guy up for a song... the concept is pretty cool though.

Fan Ejected From Yankee Stadium For Bathroom Break During 'God Bless America' The no movement rule has been in place since 9/11, much like the playing of the song.

The NYPD told CBS 2 a different version of the story, however, saying in a statement:
"The officers observed a male standing on his seat, cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol, and decided to eject him rather than subject others to his offensive behavior.
As always, more than one side to a story...

Kimbo Slice is Going Primetime A sport that was once derided as "human cockfighting" and banned in most U.S. states is airing live on CBS Saturday night. Mixed Martial Arts fighter Kimbo Slice will face James "The Colossus" Thompson in the first live bout on one of the big four networks, a sign the brutal sport has gone mainstream. "Anyone who thinks CBS will not come out of this with some kind of black eye is fooling themselves," says sports consultant Marc Ganis.

Whats funny is that the networks show brutal violence every night on the news. Sure they blur some stuff but all in all, to get your bloodlust craving satisfied you need go no further than primetime national news. having said that I agree CBS will take a hit but people just dont care enough anymore to make the stink stop them from doing it again. As far as the sport goes, I have seen it but I dont really care for it as all the dancing and juking it usually ends in a ground and pound.

Perfect? Despite Super Bowl loss, 18-1 football team wants "19-0" trademarks

Does Jerry Jones own "America's Team" trademarks? My Dad always felt the Cowboy's should have been called "God's Team" as it would appear that divine intervention always played a part in penalty flags thrown by officials against any team they played. Though after this season I might have to question that.

Have we returned to the days of 'Gladiators'? The ice at Montreal's Bell Centre, home of the Canadiens, will be replaced tonight by an eight-sided, chain-link cage that will hold two incredibly fit men using an arsenal of fighting skills and raw violence to pummel the other into submission. Watching the men in the cage - their muscles clenched and red-faced with adrenalin - it is easy to see the comparison to the blood sport of ancient Rome.Mixed martial arts, and especially UFC, the largest purveyor of the sport, is moving from cult interest into the mainstream. Tickets to tonight's event sold out within a minute. CBS is to begin airing fights in prime time next month.

A "buried" piece of Redsox memorabelia? Sounds like what the Yankees have done to the Redsox for decades...:) Maybe after the Yanks win thier next world series, they can excavate it and hang it in the visitors locker room? Either way, nice try Bean town:D

Olympic torch put out by protests. Security officials canceled the final run of the Olympic relay through Paris after chaotic protests Monday, sending a snuffed-out torch to its destination on a bus in a humiliating concession to protesters decrying China's human rights record.

Theres alot of people in China that think evrything that borders them is part of China. See "Taiwan" "Tibet" etc... But that doesnt make it so. Having said that, I love the Olympics, hate boycotts and firmly believe that if The world want to "send a message" to China they need only to stop buying the amount of products they do from it. People make that more complicated than it really is but just scale down imports or revise trade agreements. Done and done.

Belichick has been taping since 2000, Goodell tells Specter

The Pats on the other hand got busted. Fessed up. Got fined and punished. Now a senator wants to extract his pound of flesh. Pats got fined for taping the Jets. No one said anything about the Rams and the Superbowl until a Senator "asked" about it. I dont think this is a case double jeopardy. Convicted of one crime now evidence of another crime surfaces type thing. Thats not to say that the Commish didnt know how far and wide it was when he punished the Pats, he just "forgot" to tell the public until the Congressional inquiry.

Oh gfinsf, LMAO. You know, if I didnt know better I'd say they made that song up!? While my research has led me to many songs with the word "Booty" in the title, I could not identify the "We kicked they booty" song itself. :)

I think the Giants have a young team, that while repeating is obviously a daunting task, can likely win the NFC East. Having said that, that the NFC East has tendency to beat each other up pretty bad during the regular season. The cowboys should still be a quality team, the eagles are up and down so you cant really tell, the Skins just signed Jim Zorn as a head coach so that could go either way. This Division will be up in the air, but I dont think the Giants were as inconsistant as some may think. They played dang good ball the entire second half of the season and through the playoffs. Even without a big chip on their shoulders next season I think they will have more confidence. With rookies like Bradshaw, smith, Moss, Boss, I think the G-Men will be tough to beat. Having said that, injuries are always lurking and can change a season in the blink of an eye.

I wasnt into the "electronic football" thingy, but I was a BIG FAN of the first coleco-vision handheld electronic sports stuff! little red dashes and blips moving around a teeny tiny field.... I had regular footbal, head to head football (aptly named because the game was sos small you would smack heads occasionally) basketball, hockey and baseball. True to what dyams said, girls were still "icky" at that point.

#1 TBH, that was not directed solely at you ("guys" was plural so I thought that was clear). There are plenty of posts beating up on on Eli. How did I attempt to prohibit "your right to discuss sports"? I thought thats what we were doing? #2 So since my team won, I should shut up and color? Bullshit! I also have a right to discuss sports here as I see fit as well, and I happen to disagree with those who seem to think that Eli Sucked his way to a superbowl ring. I was one of his biggest critics during the season, I wasnt sure he was going to find his way in the NFL, but if NOT throwing an interception in the Entire playoffs (Brady threw 3 in the Championship game alone) doesnt get you at least some measure of respect as a passer then I dont know what will. #3 How is my post "complaining"? I attemted to rebutt the posts made critisizing Eli. I think I made some valid points too. His teamates that "bailed him out" as you say LED THE LEAGUE IN DROPPED PASSES. Maybe its about time they gave him some help. Maybe its YOU who need to stay objective around here. I was absolutely not upset when I wrote my post I just didnt agree with some of the opinions out there. Guys should be used to that by now.. #4 I've never written an "Ode" before so I was unaware that using one cliched tearm was the measure by which odes were written but since I know now I will practice and write some more. Look TBH, I dont know who your "team" is but there were alot of crappy written, inflammatory threads out there on both sides of this game but I re-read mine and I still dont think mine was one of em.

Now wait just a dang second...... I don't think Eli deserves nearly the credit he's receiving. The play where he escapes everybody on the Pats' defense was incredible, but if not for a standout play by Tyree, that ball goes two feet above his head. I think the Giants' wide receivers saved Eli's bacon all through the second half I was unsure of Eli during most of the regular season HOWEVER, was he not the QB victim of "the most dropped passes in the NFL" all season??? Ok he got some help but damn he made some great throws too. The kid WANTED the ball with 2 minutes left and the game on the line, he DID throw a sweet TD pass Plax to win the biggest game in the world with seconds left. Was not, Joe Montanas pass destined for the bleachers when Clark snatched the pass and victory from the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game??? Come on guys, It's time to let go... He's not Peyton (he readily admits that) but he led his team to one of the biggest upsets in Superbowl history. As a question, how long did Peyton play before he won his first Superbowl? I love Plax, but him and Toomer drop alot of balls, certainly its no Harrison/Wayne combo like his brother has. To that effect, the O-line, up until the playoffs hasnt exactly been perfect and afforded him time to sit back and watch the for a break in coverage. I belive guts and heart are more important than raw talent and as a lifelong Giants fan I hope Eli retires as a G-Man. That kid was having fun playing and that is something you dont see everyday on the proffessional gridiron. There were ALOT of Giants that could have gotten MVP and I would have been OK with it but Eli got the nod, he deserves it and we shouldnt detract from his accomplishment to raise someone elses. Had the giants lost, we wouldnt be blaming the D-line, we would place it squarely on Eli. I think Eli has finally found his stride. Even if he struggles later on I will remember what he did here and as a GIANTS fan, I thank him for that. On another note I forgot to congratulate the Patriots and their fans on a great season. As a Yankee fan I hate (but respect) the Red Sox but certainly not "Boston" The Pats are a class act and did something truely incredible. They had a great season and should be proud. I have always hated that the "loser" of the Superbowl is seen as a "failure". The entire AFC "failed" to do what the Pats did and I would hardly consider that failure material.
