Howe(npi) Can Baseball Continue to Ignore the Drug Problem?

 

Former major league pitcher Steve Howe had methamphetamine in his system when he was killed after his pickup truck drifted off a desert highway, a coroner's autopsy showed.  Baseball has endured the test of time but now it is time to test!

 

NBA Draft Ages Gracefully(npi)

It will be nice to not have the kids in the Draft so they can grow with the rest of their peers in life. They can still get drafted after they give it the old college try(npi).

College Baseball Champion Proof of Global Warming(npi)

How nice to see a nothern team win the college baseball World Series. The Oregon State Beavers are the raining(npi) champs!

An Automatic Red Card for Diving Would Cause Diving to Take a Dive(npi)

Fans should use Cellphones to notify Police of Hooligan activity so they can be arrested and put in the Cell(npi)

USA Soccer Needs New Arena(npi)

Soccer in the USA continues to grow in popularity and as in all other sports, changing of coaches is part of the game. Good job Bruce, but it time to pursue other Goals(npi)

USA GHANA(npi) from World Cup!

As the world becomes flatter there is no better illustration than watching Ghana excel in the World Cup. Soccer provides a level playing field around the world and with Africa hosting the next World Cup you will see an unbelievable growth of Africa on many fronts.

Roethlisberger Canned in Campbell Soup Commercial

How ironic that Big Ben was in surgery the day he was scheduled to star in a soup commercial and now he will be recovering with soup through a straw. I am sure he hopes this will be the last straw!(npi)

Players' Unions Need to Become Blood Brothers(npi)

Not just baseball, but football, hockey, and basketball need to agree to blood testing for HGH. When the Olympics and World Cup Soccer already require this what on bloody earth is the hold up? When Gene Upshaw of the NFLPA says the tests aren't reliable, it is embarrassing since the samples can be stored for testing in the future. Fehr, Upshaw, Stern, and Bettman need to stand up as leaders to the agents who have a quiet but strong influence on their clients' position in this issue, even if it means a bloodbath(npi)

Grimsley's Home run(npi) by Drugs?

I am not surprised by the latest allegations surfacing regarding Jason Grimsley's use of Human Growth Hormones as a pitcher. Barry Bonds may be the poster child for this dark era in baseball but in the end the list will be so long that many fans will lump all players in the era, rather it is fair or not! Simply put, MLB needs a line for right and wrong for Human Growth Hormones. Enough is Enough!

Fan Behavior will be on stage during World Cup

In my book on Fan Etiquette I strongly state that Fan Etiquette starts with Player Ettiquette. Players from all 32 countries must be courageous in setting the pitch(npi)

American Media bashing World Cup has begun!

Don't you love how sportstalk radio hosts are so passionate about mocking soccer? One would think after reading the front page news every morning regarding the conflicts around the world involving Americans that maybe it is time for Americans to try to better understand the world. There is no better stage to learn than the World Cup. That's my pitch(npi)
