Just Don’t It
It has now been four years since the shocking news of Michael Vick’s dog-fighting ring was released. Along with a 21-month prison sentence, Vick lost all of his endorsement deals, including his then six-year partnership with Nike. Apparently Nike feels that Vick’s past is forgotten enough by the public (or at least their targeted consumers)...
NFL’s Top 100
If you watch (or even have) the NFL Network, you have probably caught a few episodes of their popular new series; The NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2011. It’s just the latest of many lists that the network has provided in its eight-year history, but the entertainment value extends beyond the program itself. Following each...
So long Shaq
While listening to sports radio on my way to work today, it finally hit me that we might actually have seen the last of Shaquille O’Neal.

Draft notice
College or pro, if you’re any type of football fan, you probably already know that the NFL draft is less than three weeks away. The start of meaningful basketball (finally), opening day baseball and the NHL playoffs (the most competitive pro playoffs) pale in comparison to the anticipation of adding seven (or so) top-level rookies...
March Fadness
The Sweet 16 is set with games getting underway tonight, but the four March 24 matchups (Duke-Arizona, UConn-San Diego St., Butler-Wisconsin, BYU-Florida) offer me little reason to stray from my regular three-hour session of watching NBC’s Thursday night comedy six-pack.
