Giants' Receiver Burress Shoots Leg in Gun Accident New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg with his own gun at a New York City club Friday night. The injury required hospitalization but is not life-threatening, a source told Newsday. Burress had a concealed weapon permit in Florida that might be active, but New York does not recognize the permit so he could face charges.

The Knicks Shed Some Cap It looks like the Knicks are trying to dig out of the Isaiah Thomas mess by shedding salary. This is not going to help the Knicks' performance this year. When I watched their game against Boston, Jamal Crawford appeared to be the only player interested in playing.

Well it's a good thing that they've got enough coin for two, because if Cleveland's taught us anything the last few years it's, "Lebron can't do it alone." Almost, but no... When all the talk about Kobe being traded was going on before last season, there were talks that the Lakers would get LeBron in 2010. I just don't see LeBron being so ready to jump into an organization that hasn't done ANYTHING since the early to mid 90's. But then again, who thought KG and Ray Allen would want to play for the Celtics? I guess enough money can change anyone's mind.

NFL overtime rules? Don't ask McNabb "No, I didn't know that," Donovan McNabb said at his postgame press conference, saying he was not aware that one overtime is all you get in the NFL in the regular season. Then McNabb compounded his error by not knowing the postseason overtime rule. Those games do play to a conclusion for obvious reasons, but McNabb said, "I hate to see what happens in the Super Bowl or I hate to see what happens in the playoffs. You have to settle with a tie." A real student of the game.

That definitely didn't help to fight the stereotype that football players are dumb jocks I thought you had to be somewhat intelligent to play quarterback in the NFL? What's this dude's Q-score?
Is he saying that he would have played harder if he knew the game could end in a tie? Who cares how much time is left in the game? If you're out there, you should be playing at 100% effort, all the time. More so even when you're being paid multi-millions to be out there, PLAYING a game.
"McNabb at the end of games...whether regulation or overtime...things have not gone well more than a few times. Not just the Super Bowl. Don't know if there's a trend there or not." It seems McNabb has his game backwards. You should be playing harder in the 4th quarter and even harder in Overtime. I agree that he seems like he is in slow motion at the end of games. It's one thing to have ice water in your veins; it's another to freeze-up. McNabb has been one of the most prolific passers of the last decade or so, but he just can't seem to win the big the one, especially when he needs to win it. Not that this was a big one...
It may be an ominous sign for Eagles fans that he can't even get it done against the Bengals any more...

Yankees Acquire Nick Swisher from White Sox The New York Yankees have begun the off-season swap meet by acquiring Chicago White Sox first baseman Nick Swisher and minor league pitcher Kanekoa Texeira for utility infielder Wilson Betemit and minor league pitchers Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez. Swisher, 27, hit .219 with 24 homers last season. Marquez is a top pitching prospect who had a 4.47 ERA in 19 starts in Triple-A and Double-A.

I know "internet speak" is not appreciated on this site, but only one thing comes to mind: B-F-D! The Yankees used to trade for and give contracts to OLD washed-up players, now they're going for YOUNG washed-up players. I don't see how this improves their real problem, pitching. They need someone who can pitch next season in the majors. Come on Yankee management, it's so blatantly obvious to everyone else in the world, no matter how much power you have at every position, you can't win without pitching. So when the Yankees make a deal with Sabathia or trade for someone else who is a proven talent, let me know.

Smell The Glove Brandon Marshall had a half-black, half-white glove stashed as part of a TD celebration / commemoration that recalled Tommie Smith and celebrated Barack Obama. Brandon Stokely ran over to him and made him put it away, fearing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike at the end of a close game. On the one hand, Brandon Marshall is no Tommie Smith. On the other hand, I can't shake off the nagging feeling (which owes more to Smith than Marshall) that it would have been a pretty cool gesture.

Just wait until Brandon Marshall realizes that Obama can't make control gas prices...
Why is it that every time a new, great, wide receiver emerges, they totally lose their minds? Did Marshall really want to commemorate anything or did he just want to be splashed all over the news with his Michael Jackson glove? I wonder if he planned on doing the moonwalk too? Maybe a crotch grab or two? Shit!

Pistons get Iverson for Billups, McDyess, Samb It appears the promised shake-up has come to the Pistons. The Pistons are expected to trade guard Chauncey Billups, forward Antonio McDyess and center Cheikh Samb to the Denver Nuggets for guard Allen Iverson, the Free Press has learned.

I would ask, "Why", but MeatSaber already answered the question. The Pistons finally realized that their run had come to an end. They have no chance of beating the C's or anyone of the top 4-6 playoff teams in the West, so they are throwing in the towel for this season and hoping to pick up a big time free agent in the offseason. Sorry for you Detroit fans who have become accustomed to having a shot at a title... AI is not the man he was in Philly, and it's not necessarily a good thing although a few of you seem to think so. First off, Iverson has never played good on ball defense (the Pistons are known for tough D), 2nd Iverson is replacing Billups, a point guard, we have all seen that AI is not a point guard. Further, AI can't score like he used to. Sure he can put up 40 on a given night, but he can't do it in back-to-back games anymore, let alone 10-15 in a row. This trade would have made more sense last year when the Nugs had Camby, but now? Billups is a great floor general, but he's going to need a miracle to make the playoffs in the West with the current Den squad.

Dodgers win their first playoff series in 20 years. After dispatching the Cubs in 3 straight games, the Dodgers will face the Phillies in the NLCS.

I was seven years old when I saw Kirk Gibson win Game 1 of the world series with his memorable home run. It's hard to believe that was the last time we had a competitve team. I have never been the biggest baseball fan (I prefer hoops)which allows me to root for the Angels and Dodgers. I was hoping to see a real free-way series, but the Angels are going to have to pull something out of their butts to make that happen.
It's a little strange that the Dodgers, with the worst record of any playoff team, sweep the Cubs, and the Angels, with the best record in baseball, are down 2-1 after winning in the 12th last night?

High School Hazing Rears its Ugly Head Again In an era when bullying and initiation/hazing rituals have supposedly been all-but-eradicated in high schools, colleges, and sports teams in general, six sodomized New Mexico footballers remind us that a blind-eye is still turned on this stuff if we're not careful.

"That's all he needs to be to insert a reality check on the "if anyone tried that I'd" claims."
If you could read, you would see that he stated he was neither a victim nor a witness...
Plus, no matter how big someone or some people are, nobody can make anybody take some shit in their ass. I would be floppin around like a fish out of water, throwing elbows, knees, kicks to the groin, gouging out eyes etc. And yes, if they somehow managed to "haze" me, there would be some revenge killings.

"And for those guys who say "If anybody ever tried this to me, I'd [insert macho-ism here]", let me just remind you that these are FOOTBALL players. In our case it was Lineman and Linebackers. Meaning if 6-8 of the biggest/strongest guys on the team decide they want to do something, there's not much you're going to do about it. Unless you're ready to get a gun and come back with a little revenge killing, you wouldn't be doing much as even 1 of these guys could kick your ass...much less 8 of them working together."
Sounds like you have some bad memories...

Back when I was in high school, if you tried to mess with another dudes "rectum" you would be labeled a "fag" and you would be subject to ridicule and possible beatings. No one ever really cared about the people who everyone knew were gay, it was the ones who were potentially hiding it that were the most detested. I'm definitely not saying that it was right, but that's just the way it was.
Why do these "hazing" incidents always turn into some type of homosexual acts? What makes these dudes want to assrape eachother? I'm sure glad that we didn't have any of these types on my high school teams, cuz if someone tried to violate my rectum they wouldn't live to tell anyone about it.
This is why rape (along with child molestation) should be punishable by death.

Josh Howard Disrespects National Anthem "'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black." Video included.

"What I was trying to get at was that Howard sounded like a dumbass for not getting into his meaning. If he had looked into the camera and said "I don't respect the national anthem of a country which has treated Afircan-Americans so poorly throughout its history," I would certainly respect that."
It's quite obvious that little Joshy doesn't have the mental capacity to think of something that deep.
Stick to hoops ass-hat.
BTW, has anyone figured out what he said about Obama at the end of this little fit.

Sorry if my earlier comments offended anyone, but this type of stuff really pisses me off. The guy makes more money than 99.9% of the country and he has the audacity to disrespect the national anthem? Then he blames it on being black? Wow!
I guess shooting him in the face would be little extreme.

Giants & Jets Nix Stadium Naming Deal with Nazi-linked Insurance Firm The NY Giants and NY Jets have ended talks with Allianz, a German insurance company with historical ties to the Nazis.
The New Meadowlands Stadium, LLC is no longer in discussions with Allianz for a naming rights partnership,-- Lampings statement said. We are continuing discussions with other potential partners for the new stadium and look forward to the summer 2010 opening of this new icon for our region.--

The holocaust was terrible... Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it now. Any company that was in existence in Germany during the Nazi party's rule was in some manner linked to the Nazi party. It wasn't exactly a free market. Did these companies have any choice? You either A) support the Nazi party and you live or B) you don't support the Nazi party and you and your entire family get killed. Not a tough decision for me or anyone else I would imagine.

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 :)

Every league has an unhitable pitcher. When I was in little league there was a guy that gave up only 1 run the entire year. He shut-out my team for 2 full games and 5 innings of another game (then he hung a curveball and I swatted it into the street). Nobody ever talked about making him go to the next level or disbanding his entire team. We took our ass-whoopins and moved on to the next game. Even though we all knew that we probably wouldn't even get a hit, we still showed up and played hard. THAT'S what sports are all about.
The weird thing about this is that it is a 8-10 year old "instructional league". My nephew is 7 and he plays in a real league (minor b). He played t-ball at 6 and then moved up because he though it was "boring". I guess if this dude is really that good, he shouldn't be playing in an instructional league. However, the kid shouldn't be made to feel bad over being too good. That's just going to confuse him for the rest of this life.

Another dumbass wide receiver... What is wrong with these guys? I guess having a mental imbalance is an important part of being good at catching a football...
