Everyone's heard the adage "I went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out."  Well, I was watching the Mayweather-de la Hoya fight and a New Jersey Devils hockey game broke out:  There was no offense and very little fighting.

 

Many say that the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a round ball with a round bat when it's travelling in speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour.  I say to those people:  Have you ever tried to make money in a fight promoted by Don King?

 

Does anybody see the sweet justice and irony in the fact that the website www.waitingfornextyear.com is specifically for Cleveland teams?

 

A good way to know if your baseball club is in dire straits:  your designated hitter is named David Delucci.

 

I live in Columbus.  I like Ohio State.  I like Michigan.  How is that possible, you ask?  Well, it's just so much more fun hating Notre Dame.

Speaking of Notre Dame, Brady Quinn is all over television with his EAS Myoplex commercials.  Good to know he has magic workout juice to make him good enough to appear in one game on a mediocre team.

 

Brett Favre's visage has been splattered all over ESPN and the Bleacher Report.  He'd be more at home on 'The View.' 

 

When Favre DOES get onto 'The View' it would be an exposé on whining in the NFL with guest host Tony Romo.

 

The Cambridge Dictionary defines a sport as "a game, competition, or similar activity, done for enjoyment or as a job, that takes physical effort and skill and is played or done by following particular rules."  According to this definition, Marching Band is a sport. 

 

Gary Bettman wants to see more games played in Europe so that he can introduce the NHL to those who have never seen it.  I suggest he instead start in Nassau Coliseum.

 

If a tree fell in a forest, and it landed on a Versus broadcast.  Would people still not watch?


Probation: noun.  A one year contract with the Cincinatti Bengals.

 

Major League Soccer: a far-reaching name for a major sport's minor league.

 

Disney: a global company who should be banned from ever naming a sports team.

 

Will drug testing in Beijing include medications used for bronchitis?

 

Who will retire first: Julio Franco, Chris Chelios, or Bernard Hopkins? 

 

Does anybody know what a 'Communications' degree is used for?  And how come so many athletes majoring in communications aren't able to?

 

Wouldn't it be great is Jim Thome, Omar Vizquel, and Manny Ramirez all played
for the same team?   Oh... nevermind...
