DirecTV Trying To Get Into The Game
Not to brag or anything, but I think that I was a little ahead of the game in predicting the rapid rise of the video gaming industry as a sport (for past video gaming posts, check out the Video Gamers archive). Anyway, the fad sport keeps growing. On November 11, 2006, the USA Network decided […]

Agent Spotlight: Leigh Steinberg
Leigh Steinberg has gone from the most prominent NFL agent to maybe just another option in a field dominated by young, passionate personas. Steinberg first began representing athletes living as a Resident Advisor (RA) in his college dorm at UC Berkeley when he represented Steve Bartkowski.

Open the floodgates. First it was Japan, then South Korea…could China become the next Far East outlet for American baseball prospects? The New York Yankees seem to think so. Even though the Yankees are not officially the first MLB team to hire a Chinese born baseball player, they are the first club to have the […]
The NBA season is done. Empty the Bench believes that the Detroit Pistons may not be done and done. My Miami Heat…they’re probably done, done, and done for a while. 20 Second Timeout only sees the Pistons getting worse from here, though…and if the Bulls acquire Kobe Bryant, Shaq may need a new reality TV […]
Three rounds have passed in the Ladies… Hot Blogger Tournament, and I am thrilled to say that we are still in the competition. We have defeated some excellent competition to get to the 4th round, but it will only get harder to move on. It is because of this that we must forget about future […]
