Why The NFL Should Stick to 16 Games
It’s been a topic of debate for a few months now, as the NFL is considering switching to an 18 game schedule that would remove two preseason games. For an NFL fan, this might seem like a dream come true, like more of the best sport, but there is indeed a dark side to the idea.... [Read more...]

NBA Free Agent Rumors: Penny Hardaway To Join the Miami Thrice?
Lebron James’ “The Decision” special which aired July 8th, 2010 was no doubt egotistical, flashy, and a bit pompous, but what else did you really expect from “Akron’s Finest“? Have you not been following his career? Did the excessive use of 3rd person really shock... [Read more...]

Forget the Rules, Just Make the Right Call
AP Photo A great line in a song goes, “Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same”, but apparently the sports world hasn’t heard this song. Apparently the sports world has become so enchanted with its own existing rules, that it has lost interest in... [Read more...]

I’m back! The latest stop for me on my BBall tour in Kavala, Greece. It has to be one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever seen. I am very happy here. My team is a second year team in the first division. It’s comprised of three Americans and nine European players. I feel as though we can really turn some heads this year. We just need to work on building great team chemistry. The game itself is totally different from the United States, especially when it comes to physicality. The game here really comes down to how tough you are physically. Let’s just say that I’m making the adjustment. LOL We play one game a week and practice twice a day (killer!), but I have a good coach that understands... [Read more...]

What up STS and Charger Nation? It’s the “Byrdman,” D-Byrd checking in again with you. Letting ya’ll know what’s happening. My family and I have been doing real good lately. I got a lot of people in my corner cheering for me and I always appreciate the love from my fans. Between all the hard work I put in through my life, and the talents God graced me with, it’s a blessing that I get to make a living playing the game that I love. Even though I’m not playing this year, I will be on the non football related injury list. On Saturday I was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to sign autographs for fans. I’m back in beautiful Miami now where I’m doing my physical therapy. I feel way better everyday and I would... [Read more...]

It has been a great summer but now the hard work begins. I’m starting my first NFL camp as a St. Louis Ram. I have a lot of mixed feelings. I’m excited, nervous, and not sure what to expect. Many veterans have told me that NFL camp is easier than college training camp and many coaches have told me the opposite. I’m just ready to get started because I have set a lot of high expectations for myself and I feel like I have a lot to prove. I have a lot of family, friends, coaches, and teammates counting on me. Follow me as I blog through out the month of august and keep you updated on my progress as a rookie in NFL camp.

(5) Atlanta Braves: 52-36, 1st in NL East The Braves were impressive in winning back to back series on the road against the Phillies and Mets before the break. Since then catcher Brian McCann was the All-Star game MVP and Atlanta aquired Alex Gonzalez from Toronto. 3. (7) Tampa Bay Rays: 54-34, 2nd in AL East The Rays finished the first half strong, winning 9 of their last 11 before the break. Now Tampa Bay will start the second... [Read more...]

Rating the NBA Offseason
Reuters In an off-season dominated by LeBron, many people have overlooked numerous other moves made by teams around the league. While some teams have completely changed personalities, other look relatively the same, but all of these moves must be viewed in the grand scheme of things. I’ve rated the teams based on four factors: 1) Amount of money to spend 2) Ability to lure free agents within their price range 3) Fit of signees within current system and roster 4) Draft outcomes For example, the Clippers can’t be downgraded for not being able to lure LeBron when they really had a 0% chance from the outset. That being said, here are my grades thus far: Atlanta Hawks – The story of the Hawks begins... [Read more...]

Why The NFL Should Stick to 16 Games
It’s been a topic of debate for a few months now, as the NFL is considering switching to an 18 game schedule that would remove two preseason games. For an NFL fan, this might seem like a dream come true, like more of the best sport, but there is indeed a dark side to the idea. Of course I would want to see more of the greatest sport on earth, but NFL owners themselves would be biting off much more than they can chew, and here’s why: 1. Collective Bargaining Agreement and Salary: Perhaps the largest issue with switching to an 18 game regular season has to be the salary issue involving the players. The NFL is already having a financial crisis at this point in 2010, as the upcoming season is uncapped, and the league... [Read more...]

NBA Free Agent Rumors: Penny Hardaway To Join the Miami Thrice?
Lebron James’ “The Decision” special which aired July 8th, 2010 was no doubt egotistical, flashy, and a bit pompous, but what else did you really expect from “Akron’s Finest“? Have you not been following his career? Did the excessive use of 3rd person really shock you? At approximately 9:27 p.m., nearly 15 minutes further into “The Decision” than the network had promised, came the moment many fans had been anticipating since the NBA season ended. “This fall, I’m going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat,” said the NBA superstar, who at 25-years-young already has a substantial legacy, including becoming the most coveted free agent in sports history. Whether you like the move... [Read more...]
