Everyone has seen the Superman dunk by now, but here’s a better look at the tip dunk and the off the back of the backboard dunk. Be sure to watch the full highlight of the tip dunk because in the first shot of the dunk it’s unclear just what he did.
This guy is a phenom.
New York Yankees’ VP Hank Steinbrenner wants everyone to stop picking on baseball for their steroid problems, and take a look at their football counterparts.
“I don’t like baseball being singled out,” the New York Yankees senior vice president said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Monday night.
“Everybody that knows sports knows football is tailor-made for performance-enhancing drugs. I don’t know how they managed to skate by. It irritates me. Don’t tell me it’s not more prevalent. The number in football is at least twice as many. Look at the speed and size of those players.”
1. The NFL has had a drug-testing program in place for years.
2. They actually enforce it.
Hanky might be right that some football players are beating the system, but there’s no way in hell the NFL has a bigger issue on its hands than MLB. For over a decade, Bud Selig and MLB owners have looked the other way while players juiced. They cared more about getting fans back to the ballpark after the ’94 strike and thus, lining their pockets again with money, than the integrity of the game.
If the NFL does have a steroid issue, I trust Roger Goodell would try to make the situation right, as opposed to the Slug, who only when the problem got out of control did anything to fix it.
The superstars were all on display Sunday night at the NBA All Star Game, and while I do have some random thoughts about the game, I really want to talk about those players who just don’t get enough love. That’s where my 2008 All-Underutilized Team comes in.
Andy Pettitte held a live press conference Monday to once again apologize for taking HGH and to allow the “truth to set him free.”
In the conference, Pettitte went status quo on several subjects, including how he doesn’t want kids to use performance-enhancing drugs, as well as how he’s only human and he made a mistake.
During the Q&A portion of the conference, several reporters attempted to ask Pettitte about Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee’s congressional hearing and more specifically, about Clemens’ comments about how Pettitte “misremembered” their conversation about taking HGH. Pettitte dodged the questions, saying, “he’s not going to go there” as well as sidestepping questions about whether or not he’s a cheater.
I’ll say again for the record: Andy Pettitte seems like the only one being completely honest. Although, he did seem to play dumb on several questions and there wasn’t much point for him to hold another press conference in attempts to clear his name once again.
Wake Forest made 27 of 38 fouls shots and made 45% of their 3 point shots to upset #2 Duke 86-73. In the game five Blue Devil players fouled out. Rumor after the game was that Coach K was having the three oficials investigated. I don’t know about being investigated, but I bet they won’t have any Duke games the rest of the way.
Speaking of officials, after Siena lost to Loyola (MD) this weekend Coach Fran McCafrey was asked about the officiating. When he declined to answer his wife chimed in from the back of the media room with “the headline should read, ‘We got screwed.'” Now that’s sticking up for your man. I wonder if she can be reprimanded?
