Posted on 16 Jan 2013 by Steven Keys.
Breaking All the Rules First Jim Harbaugh adds Randy ‘Ipecac’ Moss to the 2012 49ers’ roster, a man washed-out & retired since being cut loose by New England, Minnesota and Tennessee in 2010. In Week 11 he changes horses mid-stream, benching a recently concussed veteran in QB Alex Smith (6-2-1) in favor of 2nd-year man from Nevada, Col. Kaepernick. And the piece de résistance: Jim em...

Saints Caught a Break
Posted on 23 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
Feel bad for the boys in The Big Easy? Don’t. The New Orleans Saints brain-trust got off relatively easy with the fines & suspensions levied against them by the NFL on Wednesday. It coulda’ been worse. Sean Payton and staff can do the suspensions standing on their heads. They’re all rich. After Sean’s year long vacation (he’s gotta’ have a boat), he gets to come back to a $5 mil...

Posted on 29 Nov 2011 by Steven Keys.
Somewhere along the way Bud Selig lost the meaning. Sometime between his halcyon college days (UW ‘56) and tenure as MLB’s big kahuna he lost his love for baseball.

Making a stop in Woodlawn, Maryland to speak to local high school students, Goodell fielded questions that included the hot-potato topic of performance-enhancing drugs.

Posted on 14 Mar 2011 by Steven Keys.
In for a penny, in for a pound. It’s the new battle-cry of NFL players as they lock horns with owners and dig in for what could be a protracted legal fight over who gets to carve-up the money-pie. You don’t have to be an NFL insider like John Clayton (ESPN) or Jason La Canfora (NFL Network) to know what motivates owners in this courtroom clash: money, and more of it. The players are a bit h...
