Ex-NFL QB Kosar File for Bankruptcy
A divorce. Investment in the Arena Football League. A failed steakhouse. Poor Bernie.
Leaf surrenders on theft, drug charges
Another QB shows his worth by partaking in burglary and drugs.
Stallworth suspended indefinitely by NFL
And a receiver who drank too much decided he would drive. And subsequently kills a man.
They are to blame; there's no argument there. But, are we? The majority of football fans treat these men like gods. Or demagogues. But either way, we give them much more power than they should have. How? We pay ungodly amounts to watch them play. We tune into games to watch women beaters and steroid users play putting out of our minds the latest allegations. I'm pleased the Mr. Goodell has decided to suspend the likes of Stallworth indefinitely. It's about time someone had the guts to tell these men that they aren't above the law. If only they could hear it earlier in their lives.

Phillies' Howard hospitalized due to flu
It seems the longest streak in baseball (324 games) is about to be broken... by a 104 degree fever. And other flu-like symptoms.
Trivia of the Week
Who had the longest streak of consecutive played games in the history of the MLB? How many games (within 100)? How many years did this streak span?
Jackson leaves Auerbach in the past
And so the debate rages on. Red or Phil. Celtics or Bulls / Lakers. Bill Russell v. Michael Jordan / Kobe Bryant. Who was the better coach? I know better than to try my hand at a discussion about which I know very little. Basketball isn't my forte. And I never saw Auerbach coach. So, I open it to you. What do you think?
Barnes' 8-under sets 36-hole Open record
Umm... who? Uh... what? Yeah, not what anyone expected. A -8. A new record for the Open. With Tiger and Lefty nowhere to be seen. And talk about the rain...
I watched an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) match this past weekend. The guy who lost broke both his hands and was stuck with using his elbows. I don't get it.
Also watched part of the Egypt - Italy football match on television during lunch on Thursday. I do get that. But I wonder why it is the most popular sport in the world.
And so, I leave you now to make the lineups for tomorrow's softball games. The Buzz have the opportunity to beat the 1st and 4th place teams after having lost to the 2nd place team in extra innings last weekend. Wish us luck. And until next I write, happy sporting.
