NY Jets receiver Laveranues Coles has a close relationship with former Jets qb Chad Pennington, and he wasn’t happy when Chad was let go to make room for Brett Favre. Coles was so pissed that he went on a media strike that ended in time for Laveranues to take a slight jab at Brett Favre. Read the full story
Brett Favre is done with the Packers and likely headed to Tampa Bay, but it didn’t happen fast enough for former Dallas Cowboy Troy Aikman. Years of beating Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers on the field apparently weren’t enough for Aikman who sacked Favre during an appearance with the 2 Live Stews radio program. Read the full story
If you go to a sporting event, you’re gonna see drunk people. That’s just how it works. Whether it’s a little league game or the World Series, somebody’s gonna be smashed. In the good ole U.S. and A. you’re gonna find America’s Drunkest Fans at football games and NASCAR events.
Here’s an inebriated New Yorker supporting the Jets:

Jeezus.. Why didn’t her man get a handle on her? He’s just sitting there lettin’ her get loaded and go Courtney Love on the stadium… He’s a better dude than me. I once quit seeing a chick because she got tipsy and was really, really, really into the football game.. It was embarrassing, but I was more pissed that I was supposed to be drinking, and she was gonna drive home… Anyways.. On to the NASCAR fans:

There are plenty of stereotypes to draw from the video but the most obvious is that they’re Tony Stewart fans… I feel sorry for that kid. I hope that apple falls as far away from the tree as possible.
If gambling was abolished, do you know who would suffer the most? The NFL and the NBA referees. Regardless of the NFL’s official stance on wagering, the reason the league is so popular is because of the violence, gambling, and video games. But I’m not here to call the NFL a bunch of hypocrites, I’m here to salute the gridiron gladiators. I am entertained and hopefully my picks do likewise.
I’m superstitious, so I never pick for or against my favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles. The home team is in bold type. Read the full story
MLB
Bud Selig wants Jason Giambi to talk to the MLB steroid busters “or else”. Or else what Bud? You’re gonna suspend Jason Giambi for talking about something that happened in the past, that he already kinda admitted to, for what? I’m not even sure where this steroid scandal investigation is going. If every player that ever used steroids came forward today and admitted it, then what? Nobody is gonna shutdown MLB.. And MLB officials might not have been doing the roids, but they were well aware of what was going on. The new rules are in place, so it’s time to focus on current steroid users, the dummies that slip up now. Threatening punishment for Giambi is lip service that really serves no purpose. Let’s look forward instead of living in the past.

NBA
Baseball is known as the ”numbers” sport but Jason over at Ball Hype has picked up where Bill Simmons and John Hollinger left off for basketball statistical analysis. Breaking down who was the best player for every ten year period of the league from ‘51-’61 to ‘97-’07 was a great idea and produced some interesting results. The rankings are based on Hollinger’s PER formula and most of the names you would expect to see there are there. If you take a look at the total number of ten year spans dominated by MJ, only centers Chamberlain, Jabbar, and O’neal are in his class. Guys like Olajuwon, Malone, and Garnett have the misfortune of playing in eras dominated by bigger stars.

NFL
Pacman Jones’ ill-fated trip and “rain making” at a strip club during the NBA All-Star weekend was one of the reasons he ended up being suspended for the season by new NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Yesterday the news broke that Jones’ DNA tested negative, twice, when compared to DNA obtained from a stripper that was bitten during the February fracas. So the DNA doesn’t match and you have Lt. George Castro saying that the police still have not connected what happened inside the club to the shooting that took place outside of the club. If Adam Jones is cleared of everything except for being a 81k idiot, will/should the NFL reduce his suspension?
