Palmer Now Loves OSU

As I wrote earlier this week, I loved Carson Palmer’s frankness and honesty when asked about Ohio State and the Buckeye fans when he appeared on 570 KCAL last week. While you may disagree with his statement, at least he was being honest. Predictably, Palmer has now backtracked from his statement and issued a new one regarding […]

Post-Game Report: Dodgers vs. Rockies (7/21/08)

Whenever a game is played at Coors Field in Colorado, a high-scoring affair is what one always expects.  Today’s Dodger game was no different.  L.A. was able, for at least one night, to find a cure to their offensive woes, beating the Rockies 16-10.
They scored 8 runs in the 1st inning, thanks in part to […]

The Los Angeles Angels had their five-game winning streak snapped Monday night, as they fell to the Cleveland Indians 5-2.
Whatever momentum the Angels had from the sweep of the Red Sox seemed to be gone Monday. Halos’ hitters seemed unsure at the plate and just could not move the runners around the bases and in […]

Year-In-Review – 17 – Scott Thornton

Scott Thornton was a veteran forward who wore an “A” on his sweater last season, and while I’m sure he had some influence off the ice for the younger players, I wished that he had more of an on-ice role. He played in 47 games getting 5 goals, 3 assists for 8 points, ended up […]

USC’s Starting Offensive Line for 2008, A Tough Bunch!

Last week, I projected what should be the starting backfield for the Trojans opener against the University of Virginia, who, by the way, Las Vegas projects as 18-point underdogs.

Like an Intelligent Person, Carson Palmer Hates Ohio State

Bengals quarterback and USC Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer is a man of few words and usually does not have much to say to the media. However, when he does decide to speak, he appears to come across as a very intelligent individual and mastermind of the the egotistical nature of college football fans. This past week, […]

It’s 75 Degrees Outside And I’m Inside

Going into the weekend, there have been plenty of updates from the Kings camp that I have been keeping up with in my podcasts, but I realized that I should probably type something out for your viewing pleasure.
