Some will say Chamberlain, others will say Russell or Magic or Bird and the list goes on but IMO, there's only one man that deserves that title and that's Michael Jordan.
I feel exactly the same way. Whether you like him or not, the man absolutely changed the game. People say no one can be bigger than the game, but guess what.......MJ pulled it off......bigger than the game. People actually watched the game based on whether or not he was playing. Look at the ratings for his comebacks.
As far as his comments, who cares? I never knew him not to be arrogant and cocky. That's how I want to remember him. That's part of what I loved about him. It's his "I'm Michael Jordan and Your Not" attitude that makes him sort of special.

I'd love to post something about how I hope everything works out well for TG. Or that I understand wanting to leave this place for a contender. Or how lucky I feel just to have been able to watch, in person, the greatest Tight End of all time play the game.......but I'm just sick to my stomach at the thought of what I'll be watching next season.

I for one would be a fan of a salary cap in MLB. This all reminds me of something Steinbrenner said in and interview a few years back when they upped the revenue sharing and luxury taxes, which hit teams like the Yanks pretty hard. As you may or may not know, David Glass, owner of the Royals and ex Wal Mart executive, was leading the push for more revenue sharing. When the press asked Steinbrenner to comment, he said...."If Kmart goes broke, do they ask Wal Mart for money?" Of course he was defending his right to run a business within the rules of the MLB. He also pointed out that if any other owners wanted to pour that kind of money into their team, there are no rules against it. I'm not a Yanks fan by any means, but they go about business the way the way they want, pay their revenue sharing and taxes for it, and I agree that some other owners could let go of some money if they wanted to put a similar product on the field.

I wonder how they'll spend those picks. Lot's of holes to fill and they don't have a history of great drafts. I'll cross my fingers and sit with hope like an idiot every year, even though the last SB they went to was the year before I was born. Anybody remember Carl Peterson's 5 year plan he had back in '88 when Hunt hired him?

Earlier this season my daughter changed out of her Priest Holmes jersey at halftime........of the Raiders game.....and everyone knows how this season ended. I haven't spoken to her since. My hands are shaking as I type this. Oh, and none of my black friends beat thier kids.

So the J-E-T-S are cheaters, huh? Do we put an astrik next to their record, then?

However this shakes out, there can't be a good excuse for what happened.

I've sort of had some experience with this (jacked up kid of a very close family member). When I blasted the man for what he was allowing his kid to do and get away with while living in his house, I was told that I won't know until I have kids myself. Well......low and behold, I have kids and still feel the same way about it. The Reid boys are grown men and need to be shown the door at this point. There is the possibillity that Reid feels somewhat responsible and guilty for the way the boys have turned out. I wish the best for them all.

You're right Weedy, but honestly, after I peed my pants, I would then engage in some unchecked aggression without thought toward that coach. Seriously though, you do make a good point. But all this is after the fact with time to cool off. Plus the fact that none of this actually happened to any of our kids, so it's pretty easy to sit back and say exactly what we would do. I like to picture myself as the bad ass though, so please don't ruin that for me.

I do see your point, bd, and maybe my comment was a bit of a knee jerk reaction. But I've coached this age level, and seen some pretty nasty things, and going to the official would still be the first thing I would do. Understanding this was a scrimmage, then you go to the other kids coach and tell him to straighten it out. All the post said is that the looney coach's kid got blocked and knocked down. Buy him a tennis raquet and move on. Sorry, but I've about had enough of Youth Sports Coaches getting this kind of attention.

Chiefs' Larry Johnson Flips Out on Twitter
He said during training camp that he was determined to distance himself from the "old LJ," the irritable player who had become known more for his run-ins and mood swings than his considerable football talent.
Well, as with most power runners at this stage of his career, the talent is gone. I believe he would have been traded if anyone would have shown interest. And the "good boy" he promised to be sure didn't last long, but at least he's not beating women at night clubs anymore.
The guy's a Head Case, though......obviously. Ahhhhhh, where have you gone Tony G?????? This offense really is lacking in decent character these days.
