Behind The Back Pass: With the score 13-0, this high school quarterback threw a behind the back pass for a 2 point conversion. Was it hot dogging? Should his coach have sat the kid for showing up his rivals? Answer...Yes and Yes.

Aussie Rules Football Is Punchtastic!: In connection to the previous post about Sean Avery, this is what Brodeur should have done to him. And we think American football players are tough. Truth be told, it was a really cheap shot..... but funny.

Harry Caray's Been Gone For 10 Years: It's been ten years since Harry passed away. A Hall member and one of the all time great baseball announcers, Harry made every game exciting. He worked for the St Louis Cardinals, Chicago White Sox, and Chicago Cubs where he is still beloved by all. Whether the game was 1-0 or 15-2, you just had to keep listening. He wasn't a cookie cutter announcer like is so prevalent today. I loved him and miss him. This Bud's for you Harry. God Bless You.

Aluminum bats replaced wooden bats because of the cost of broken bats. If aluminum bats can't be changed, like a thicker walled bat to change the trampoline affect, so that the speed of the batted ball is the same as if it were hit by a wooden bat, then change the ball. If some kids like wood and others like aluminum, then make it the responsibilty of the league to have two different balls for play at each game. Make the balls different colors so that they can't be mixed up.

I used to run, but my knees are shot now. I thought running was healthy, but walking or biking is less jarring. I have a feeling that many runners are going to need knee replacement surgery in time, so it may be good for your heart, but it is bad for you in the long run (no pun intended).

Even more amazing is the appearance that Johhny Knox casually dropped the ball just before he crossed the goal line. If you watch the ball, it touches just inside the end zone. At the speed he's running, the ball had to be dropped outside the end zone. But no one fell on the ball and Detroit didn't challenge the play.

I don't shop at GNC or any other supplement store, so I don't know, but are there really INJECTABLE supplements that are sold over the counter? I thought everything was pills or powders.

Look for Pacman's name to appear on a police blotter or an obituary in the future. If he doesn't clean up his act, he'll be in jail or dead. What a waste of talent.

Personally, I liked basketball more when there was no shot clock. A team could actually run plays. Now, it's just run and gun.

Gore was in the game? Now there's an inconvenient truth.

Samurai Mike was a great player, but he's got a long way to go to becoming a great coach. The last minute of last night's game was abysmal.

As a Chicagoan and Cubs fan, I am happy to see the Phillies win. All of my relatives live in Allentown and when I visited them as a kid, we would go to the old Connie Mack Stadium (that's dating me), so I'm a Phillies fan of sorts. Congrats to Jamie Moyer, another ex-Cub to win while we continue to suffer.

Detroit fans have a long way to go to beat the Swedes or are those eight-legged dildos they throw?

Now I know why my property taxes are so high. My local high school just spent 1.5m for artificial turf. These places are way over the top. My college stadium wasn't as nice. BTW dviking, to see the slideshow, shrink the photo to 75% and the scroll bar appears.

Ditto knowsalittle. Yaz is one of the all-time greatest and classiest players to ever wear a uniform. I pray for his fast recovery.

What a chickenshit move. Intentionals walks for strategic purposes are part of the game, i.e. to generate the possibilty of a force out or double play when a man is on second or men on second and third. I never liked it when Barry Bonds was walked so often. What you're saying to your team is, 'I don't think you're good enough to get this guy out, so we're going to walk him and hope you don't blow it with the next guy.'

Florida State Gets Funky New Nike Uniforms
The uniform looks like Spiderman and the shoes look like they're made of patent leather. Do they reflect up?
