    Bart Scott is from Parts Unknown

    by  • January 18, 2011 • sports

    Jets linebacker Bart Scott’s post game interview with ESPN’s Sal Pal is golden. Classic sports rant. A stylistic throwback to Pro Wrestler theater of Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair. From his jet landing intro to his “Can’t Wait” at the end. Hilarious. A damn good game between two division rivals with an exclaimation point...

    Dangerous hits and the NFL

    by  • January 10, 2011 • sports

    Treatment/roster size/long term insurance need to be improved, concussions are and will be a consequence of full contact sports, but they can’t change some rule retroactively to punish a defender and then still put a player back out on the field one or even two weeks later after he was knocked out.

    Childress never had player respect

    by  • November 7, 2010 • sports

    I have been light on sports lately, but I had to comment on the Brad Childress vs. Moss/Harvin/Vikings Locker room story. Childress’ propensity for poor leadership was evident 3 years ago when he decided to fine WR Troy Williamson for missing a game to attend his grandmother’s funeral (which he paid for and organized)....

    Why are any reporters in the locker room?

    by  • September 14, 2010 • sports

    The NY Jets players and staff heckling/harassing Inez Sainz leads me to ask: why the hell do any reporters need to broadcast or record reports in the locker room?
