Sample Raider press releases
Sample Raider press releases...
Adam Schefter learned a lesson yesterday. Throw out a rumor about a quarterback who’s been more of a punchline than a viable NFL player lately involving the Raiders, and you’re going to get whacked in the kneecaps with an amazing press release. If you go to the Raiders’ official website...

BASG vs. ESPN’s Rob Neyer (OK, not...
Normally linksharing between blogs is pretty common and not really worth noting, but I’m not too jaded to admit I was flattered to get some love from a senior writer at the Worldwide Leader. Rob Neyer is an interesting guy, and that’s not just because he looks like a combination of Greg Kinnear...

There’s one interesting thing about this annual Brett Favre saga. No, I swear. Well, at least it’s interesting to media consumers/critics/bashers/wannabe’ers like me. It’s the chicken or the egg question. While Favre has rightly been known as an attention whore for years, is this...

Everybody’s on the Internet. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Nobody knows how the future is going to unfold, or how anybody’s going to make any money off the insatiable appetite we now have for two things above all others: information and free stuff. And not in that order. Nobody wants...

Cleveland’s last chance, and Giant...
No pressure, guys. You’re only fighting for the future of the city of Cleveland, professional sports in Ohio and world peace. Because if LeBron James can’t rally his band of teammates who worked their asses off all year while looking forward to the tough games where they could sit back and...

A lot of you probably read that headline and figured, “Oh great, another whiny blog post from a West Coast hippie about East Coast bias and how nobody cares about how good the Earthquakes are…” No. This has nothing to do with East Coast bias. This is about journalistic integrity and...

NFL starters sent to slaughter
NFL starters sent to slaughter...
There was something off about NFL Sunday this, err, Sunday. It started with the 49ers/Rams game, which featured the most pathetic offensive first half since the forward pass was made legal. Then NFL starters who should have been resting for the playoffs started dropping like WNBA players on slippery...

NFL, ESPN behind the times with Twitter stance
NFL, ESPN behind the times with Twitter ...
With the NFL coming out this week and putting its collective foot/shield down on the whole Tweeting-athlete phenomenon, the dominant professional sports league in the United States took a step back towards the rest of the pack. Then the self-professed World Wide Leader in Sports did the same thing, with...

Yeah, I know. I’m going out on a major limb here with that headline, but rest assured the NBA Finals prediction you so eagerly await will be at the bottom of this post. Feel free to check it out if you want. I won’t be offended. But for those with a little bit of patience, get ready for a...

NBA Tuesday: David Stern’s worst nightmare
NBA Tuesday: David Stern’s worst n...
David Stern probably woke up at 4 am this morning in a cold sweat. Nike is rapidly putting together a Carmelo Anthony puppet and debating whether a Hedo Turkoglu doll would scare children. Mike Breen just asked himself, “If nobody’s even watching the games, do I really need to wear my toupee?” We’re...
