World Cup Runneth Over!

Arriving late in life to the game of Soccer I am more excited about this World Cup than any sporting event I have ever followed. My son once reminded me that America is the only country who hosts a World Championship (baseball world series) and doesn't include other countries. Once I began traveling around the World I realized Soccer wins hands down (npi) when it comes to worldwide participation.

Maybe Fans will Bond more with Babe Ruth!(npi)

With Barry tying Babe Ruth's Homerun record I hope fans will take the time to realize how artificial this chase has been.(npi)

Selig wants Fans to Tone Down Booing While he allowed Bonds to Tone Up for all those Years!

 

Come on Bud, there are many fans who are angry about the steroid scandal which was allowed under your watch.  Barry is the poster child for all the users in the past including Sosa and McGuire.  You might want to attribute it to Strength of Schedule! (npi)

Fan Who Catches 714 Homerun Ball Might Want to Toss Ball Back to Make Statement!

I know it would be hard to do (since I caught 13 as a kid) but it sure would make a statement to baseball and all the players and owners who participated in the steriod scandal that this ball represents the longest FOUL in the history of baseball. (npi)

Duke AD Missing in Action During Lacrosse Scandal!

As a former AD I was shocked there was no specific mention of the AD in the extenal investigation. If a university is going to have a Director of Athlectics to lead the department then one would expect the AD would be there with the Prez during this crisis. By the way, who is the AD I might add?(npi)

Bonds Will Always Be Bigger than Baseball(npi)!

But never bigger than the Babe!

Is Barkley's Bite as loud as his Bark when Speaking about his gambling problem?(npi)

When Charles admits he has a gambling problem I applaud. When he says his agent is assisting him in lowering his bets I cringe. If Charles ever loses his audience I bet his life will be in the pits (npi). Will his agent still be there as his pit boss? I will bet the house not!

Clothesline Suspension Leaves Suns out to Dry!(npi)

Congrats to the NBA for taking stern action(npi). Roger and Out! (npi)

Youngs' Agent not so Young anymore!

After all the criticism for Vince Youngs' decision to go with a friend of the family for his agent it was nice to see him drafted higher than Leinert who who first selected veteran agent Leigh Steinberg then switched to Tom Condon with Creative Arts Agency to maximize his off the field opportunities The jury may still be out on who will have the best career in the NFL but when it comes to maximizing opportunity to be drafted higher a young agent(npi) can be successful.
