Who Can Fill The Lakers PG Void?
The Lakers have already lost the regular season series to the Cleveland Cavaliers. It may end up meaning absolutely nothing in the grand spectrum of the season. After all, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Yet, the losses have at the very least sent shock waves throughout Los... [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.

What’s going on Scouting The Sports Readers? It’s Demetrius Byrd here to give you all an update on what I’ve been up to since my last blog. Lately I’ve just been traveling a lot. I went to San Diego on Monday to go see everything that’s going on in Charger Land. I loved it there. It was great seeing all the facilities. They were really nice and definitely made me feel good about the entire Chargers Organization. The coaches and players were really cool and respectful. After I left my San Diego trip on Friday, I headed back to New Orleans, Louisiana. I got to see my friend and former teammate, Tyson Jackson. He had a party, and it was great catching up with him and all my other friends in... [Read more...]

An in depth analysis of the decline of baseball popularity
Baseball had always been considered America’s favorite pastime, but has that perception changed in the last twenty years? During the booming years of the early 20th Century in America, the game of Baseball was unanimously considered the most popular sport, uniting immigrants and unifying a vast multitude of once distant people. The game of baseball was rivaled by no other sport and if you would have asked the average ten year old boy in New York city for instance, what he wanted to do with his life, he would have told you without a second of hesitation that he wanted to become the next member of Murderers Row just like Lou Gehrig or Babe Ruth. However, in recent years there have been rampant remarks made by almost... [Read more...]

Dear Kobe
Dear Kobe, You are one of the best players in the NBA, and while you may not be the best, your team needs you. What you need to realize, however, is that your team doesn’t need you right now – they need you come April, May, and June. The Lakers are currently 38-12 with a 4.5 game lead on the second place Denver Nuggets, and in no real danger of falling out of the playoff race. In reality, the Lakers could field a squad without you and still easily secure a top-five seed in the Western Conference, especially they way Pau, Bynum, and Artest have played lately. Sure Kobe, you’re a warrior – we get it. We got that when you dislocated your finger halfway through last season, and then played through the... [Read more...]

Super Bowl XLIV: Colts vs. Saints
February 3, 2010- It seems like destiny. Peyton Manning playing in his second Super Bowl against a team his father immortalized, but could not obtain a Super Bowl birth. Twenty-eight years later, the Saints have a near perfect season and the loudest city backing them to the ends of the world. Above all, the Saints have reached their first Super Bowl in the teams history. Two teams from different ends of the country, vying for the ultimate win. What will it take? Offense The key element to the Colts’ offensive line lies in the containment. The Saints have one premiere rusher in Will Smith, if the Colts can contain Smith then Manning will have the time he needs to get the ball out to the right players. With double... [Read more...]

Moelis: The Broncos are for Real
Five weeks into the season at 5-0, the Denver Broncos have nearly doubled ESPN analyst John Clayton’s preseason prediction of three wins. Five weeks into the season, Kyle Orton has gone from below average to an MVP candidate. And most surprisingly, five weeks into the season, the Broncos defense has allowed an NFL low 43 points since finishing last season’s final three games allowing a total of 112 points. How did this happen? It all starts with Josh McDaniels. After trading Jay Cutler and alienating Brandon Marshall, fans were already calling for the firing of coach McDaniels before he even coached a game. He never cared. Through all the criticism, McDaniels remained that he will be judged by wins and losses once... [Read more...]
