After testing positive for an illegal substance during spring training for the Tampa Bay Rays, Manny Ramirez has decided to promptly retire from MLB baseball after 19 seasons in the majors’.
Whether you agree are a hardcore baseball fan who disagrees with all types of cheating – including performance enhancing drugs – or someone who is willing to look the other way in favor of “entertainment”, Ramirez actions today should still come off as offensive and cowardly.
Rays Caught Off Guard
It’s safe to say that Manny was aware of the failed test …

After an unusually unsettling week for the NBA‘s darling team, the Miami Heat, the league has officially declared a state of emergency and requested a uniform modification from adidas for the Revolution 30 jerseys. Below is the messaging currently being tested amongst fans:

Among those reached for comments on the breaking news of “tear-free” jerseys, Jock Jerseys has reached to many in the NBA (n00b bawlers association) and other walks of life.
“We had to call in extra personnel after Sunday’s game due to the overwhelming moisture on the court and in …

I’m once again blown away by the NBA coaches and their supposed 2010-11 All-Star reserve players (7 reserves per conference). Let me clarify… I’m blown away, but really not too surprised – this is commonplace in many sports.
There are at least half a dozen deserving players in the Western Conference that did not get selected by the NBA coaches during their voting (Starters were selected by fans). These terrific players were snubbed and I have little to no explanation why the players that took their spot(s) were selected.
Btw… if you’re …

This isn’t your typical football preview post, because there are enough of those out there for you to read, from people well more versed in the X’s & O’s of football than myself. Rather than focus on the game strategies, I wanted to help you understand who the fans think are the top players on the respective teams left in the AFC Championship game, to be played this Sunday.

There’s no magic formula or crazy math here… the players for the respective teams are ordered by …

Quarterback Tom Brady will have surgery on his right foot as early as Monday to repair a “stress fracture” that he’s had for over 2 months. Despite leading the New England Patriots to a 14-2 record, a playoff bye & likely an NFL MVP award, Brady has reportedly been playing w/ the injury, but the time has come to get it fixed.
Brady’s foot injury first was listed on the injury report after the Patriots’ 34-14 loss at Cleveland on Nov. 7, New England’s final regular-season loss. He missed six practices …

Arenas’ Fresh Start
Much maligned point/shooting guard Gilbert Arenas finally got shipped out of Washington last week; fortunately for him, he ended up on a good team versus another loser. The Orlando Magic take a huge risk in acquiring Arenas, not only for the fact that the guy could be certifiably insane, but at stake is the long-term stability of keeping superstar Dwight Howard in south Florida (no, not South Beach).
Yes, Arenas gets a fresh start and an opportunity to prove himself as a star again in the NBA, but it’s …

Damn near the ugliest hockey jersey you might ever see – the Florida Everblades wore special “holiday” themed jerseys recently.
The pasty-lime colored jerseys are highlighted by their alligator logo and a barrage of Christmas colors & ornaments in the lower half. Honestly, I think I could stand the jersey as a stand-alone, but checkout the pants in the left-hand side of the image below… Now that is embarrassing. They might as well wear tutu’s and perform the Nutcracker out on the ice.

In defense of what we imagine will be the …

The New York Knicks have their longest winning streak in nearly a decade, and Amare Stoudemire has the type of streak the franchise hasn’t seen since 1962.
Knick fans…. Enjoy the winning streak and enjoy Amare Stoudemire, because if head coach Mike D’Antoni continues playing his starters over 40 minutes every game you’re in for a tough lesson in NBA basketball.
Developing your bench is a critical aspect of coaching that is required for long-term, sustained success through a grueling 82-game NBA season. Players get hurt, come down w/ illnesses all the …
