A source close to the situation told the Associated Press that the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl will be played in Miami one week before the Super Bowl, which will also be held at Dolphin Stadium. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Pro Bowl will return to Hawaii, although it’s doubtful that [...]
Yankees add Teixeira
Dec. 23, 2008 Leave a Comment
How much money can one baseball franchise spend in a single offseason? It seems the Yankees are trying to find out. The Yankees have now signed first baseman Mark Teixeira to a reported eight-year $180 million deal. He joins CC Sabathia (seven-year, $161 million) and A.J. Burnett (five-year, $82.5 million) as high-priced free agent additions [...]
Plaxico in more legal trouble
Dec. 22, 2008 Leave a Comment
It looks like plaxidents tend to follow Giants WR and soon-to-be-convicted-felon Plaxico Burress around. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that a 27-year old woman is suing Plaxico for an auto accident in May that left her with back and neck injuries. Alise Smith is looking for $15,000 in lost wages, medical bills and damage to [...]

Carl Peterson to step down from Chiefs
Dec. 15, 2008 Leave a Comment
Long-time Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson will resign following the 2008 season. Peterson, who has been the club with 20 years after joining the team in 1989, probably picked a good time to step down considering the Chiefs are woeful to say the least. “On behalf of my family and the entire Kansas [...]
Trouble brewing in Big D?
Dec. 12, 2008 Leave a Comment
Cowboys sources have told ESPN’s Ed Werder that Terrell Owens has resentment towards QB Tony Romo (gasp!) and his relationship with TE Jason Witten. Owens apparently feels that Romo and Witten have private meetings to work on plays that include Witten and exclude T.O. That makes a ton of sense. An unnamed Cowboys player told [...]
Hamels unloads on Mets
Dec. 12, 2008 Leave a Comment
The Phillies/Mets rivalry just got better. As if the two teams didn’t hate each other enough, Phillies’ World Series MVP pitcher/God Cole Hamels went on WFAN NY radio on Wednesday and labeled the New York Mets “choke artists.” Why was he doing an interview with NY sports radio? He was pimping the Phillies World Series [...]
Sabathia to the Yankees
Dec. 10, 2008 Leave a Comment
For those of you who thought that CC Sabathia would inevitably sign with the Kansas City Royals or Pittsburgh Pirates, I have bad news. While the lure of playing in Missouri or Western Pennsylvania certainly made him pause and think about taking a contract worth about $120 million less, he has ultimately decided that he [...]

More great news about the economy: the National Football League has announced that it plans to lay off 150 employees, which will equate to about 14 percent of the sports giant’s total staff of 1,100. “These are difficult and painful steps,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a staff memo, “but they are necessary in [...]
Plaxico done for the year
Dec. 2, 2008 1 Comment
In a move that will surprise no one, the Giants have suspended Plaxico Burress for the final four games of the season for conduct detrimental to the team and have placed him on the non-football injury list. You may or may not have guessed that the non-football injury relates to him going Fifty Cent on [...]
Was Hixon with Burress during the shooting?
Nov. 30, 2008 Leave a Comment
I just witnessed an awfully peculiar post-game interview with Giants WR Domenik Hixon. Hixon was asked whether or not he had spoken to Plaxico Burress recently and he said he had and that he went to a Knicks game with him. I know the Knicks were in town Saturday night against the Warriors because I [...]
Report: Burress had no permit
Nov. 30, 2008 1 Comment
Plaxico Burress, Giants WR and everyone’s favorite chowderhead, did not have a permit for the gun that he fired into his own leg Friday night at New York City’s Latin Club, according to the New York Post. Burress did have a concealed-weapon permit in Florida, but that expired in May. The total ying yang was [...]

According to a USDA report released on Friday, Michael Vick placed family pet dogs into the ring with his trained pit bulls and laughed as the dogs “caused major injury” to the pets at Bad Newz Kennels. The report provides new insight into the sadistic and vicious happenings at 1915 Moonlight Rd., where Vick operated [...]
MLB MVP’s announced
Nov. 18, 2008 2 Comments
The National League announced its MVP for the 2008 season and his name is Albert Pujols. Not terribly surprising, we knew it would be between Pujols and Philly’s Ryan Howard. In the end, however, baseball writers don’t like it when a guy strikes out 200 times and plays shaky defense. That said, the Phillies don’t [...]

NFL sources tell the Boston Globe that Tom Brady returned to Boston for a checkup on his surgically repaired left knee. The same sources confirmed that Brady has suffered from a postoperative staph infection that has slowed his rehab process. The good news is that, in all likelihood, the patella tendon graft will be kept [...]
Redskins sign DeAngelo Hall

The Redskins have signed former Falcons and Raiders cornerback DeAngelo Hall to a one-year, $1 million deal, which will be prorated for the rest of the season. “It’s a one-year deal for now, but we’ll work something out long-term,” Hall told FOXSports.com. “That’s why I chose them. I don’t want to hit the market in [...]
