Promises kept. Matt LaChappa hasn't thrown a pitch professionally in 10 years. He is confined to a wheelchair, and constrained by the physical fallout from back-to-back heart attacks. Yet the San Diego Padres continue to pay him as if he were an active player. It might be the noblest thing they do. (courtesy of the mlb LJ community)

YES! It happened! Like we all knew it would. The most predictable occurence in sports history. Larry Brown out - Isiah in. After all, it only makes sense that a team of five guards should be coached by one. Gentlemen, start your sarcasm.

Any predictions as to what's next for Brown?

UND to sue NCAA over it's name Here we go again. The semi-annual fight over the use of Indian names by sports teams. I lived in Grand Forks for nearly 4 years and I didn't see anything wrong with the Fighting Sioux, but then again I'm not a Native American.

As a beer drinker, the name brewers offends me.

If it offends the majority of native americans I think some names should be changed. I'd like to see some statistical polls taken from native americans. I know some tribes have given their blessing to names such as the Seminoles. I just wonder if it is a true sentiment of the majority or if it is a few political activists that like the drama.

Cowboys and Patriots Super Bowl Bound? Peter King sure knows how to stir things up. The SI columnist tossed out Dallas and New England as his early Super Bowl picks. Who do you think will be there at the end of the 2006-2007 season in the NFL's biggest game?

Don't know about the heart...all i know is they have the nfc's best qb,rb,o-line,and argueably the best coach. Put them in the afc and i might agree with ya, but the nfc doesn't seem to require a heart.

Sorry Coach my ADD was acting up? LaRoche's Blunder Puts Spotlight on ADD: Adam LaRoche knows how it looks. He doesn't seem to be trying hard. He comes across as inattentive, sluggish, a little too laid-back to be a professional athlete. LaRoche's relaxed approach — and a disorder that makes it hard for him to concentrate — have come under scrutiny after the most embarrassing moment of his three-year major league career. On Sunday, after scooping up a routine grounder that should have been the third out of the inning, LaRoche took his time getting to first and was stunningly beaten to the bag by Washington's Nick Johnson, who was hustling all the way.

Doug Flutie Retires After 22 years, Doug Flutie decided to join Gerald Phelan in the ranks of retired Patriots. The Boston Globe was clearly prepared, with a list of stories from his career, a couple of front pages from the Hail Mary upset of Miami and a photo gallery. When you're finished, you can start hitting F5 on Flutie's Wikipedia entry to see how soon it gets updated.

1000 wins for Joe Torre What I think is really amazing though is that he's survied 1645 games working for Steinbrenner! Congrats to him for that more then the 1000 wins!

I honestly am not trying to bash the guy, but before he landed the yankee job, he coached 11 years with a losing record. He finally hit the lottery...good for him.

Pistons stand in LeBron's way, just as they did for Jordan. "Before Jordan became a champion, he was fodder for the Pistons in three straight postseasons."

Jersy girl is right, afterall he was 894-1003 before he went to the Yankees. That shows that the most mediocre manager can win with the yanks.

Kudos to the padres. It amazes me how some people just scroll through here and try to pick peoples comments and opinions apart just for the hell of it. I wonder how many even read the article. For those that think the padres should not be admired for doing the right thing...fine, thats your opinion but why are you posting at all if you feel that way?
