Model Teams of the NFL

With the free agent season well under way, every analyst out there will give you his run down on the winners and the losers. But I think it’s just as important to point out those teams that really just know what they’re doing.There are several teams that come to mind. The Colts, Patriots, Steelers, Giants […]

Innovation At The NFL Combine

I am not a big fan of the NFL combine or the major press coverage that it draws. I personally think that the event over-hypes certain athletes because they basically test well in a fake, determined atmosphere. I liken it to an Ivy League school accepting a student who was middle of the pack throughout […]

Why Punish The Use Of Non-Performance-Enhancing Drugs In Sport?

Given the recent and relevant anti-doping developments relating to Marion Jones and Martina Hingis who have both been considered top athletes in their respective sports, I have decided to touch on a topic that is controversial and sensitive – doping. The use of performance-enhancing drugs in sports will result in the users rightfully being labelled […]

Jeff George Will Take Your Game To The Next Level!!!

It looks like a 40-year-old, 17 year NFL veteran has finally called it quits. Jeff George was the #1 overall pick in 1990 who then managed to make his way onto 8 different team rosters before his recent retirement. Disclaimer: Vinny Testaverde recently came back to the league and finished the 2007 NFL season at […]

Clocking In Some Overtime Work For Naught?

Randy and Alan Hendricks have a very solid baseball agency in Hendricks Sports Management. While they seem to not publicly list their client sheet on their website, they definitely do not hold back from promoting the fact that Roger Clemens is a Hendricks client. And after Clemens has been bashed by his longtime trainer, Brian […]

Come On, You’re Better Than That!!!

Last Saturday I was tuning into 1050 ESPN radio, hosted by Warner Wolf. The main topic was the Mitchell Report. After discussing the individual players who were mentioned in the report, Wolf went on to discuss how some of these players may have significantly altered the outcomes of games. The specific event he was talking […]

Concussion Discussion

Adam Taxin is the sports radio king of Philadelphia (at least in my mind, since he has me on his show quite often). This past week, he decided to give me some time off, and of course, ended up having a much more intelligent conversation with a neurosurgeon instead. Dr. Steven Kalkanis graced the airwaves […]

And The Oscar Goes To…

…Marion Jones! For years now Marion Jones has been denying allegations that she had some chemical assistance in her 5 medal Olympic campaign 7 years ago in Sydney and boy did she have people fooled; excluding myself of course. I was a huge fan of hers, but the facts spoke for themselves. Going all the […]

Mind over Matter

There was once a time when people would have laughed at the thought of “sports psychology.” Now, a professional athlete’s own psychologist may be the most vital facet of his or her entourage. In fact, the relatively new-found trend to address and strengthen a player’s mental abilities may even be applied before one turns pro. […]
