      Beefed up Tiger

      June 22, 2007 /

      Deadspin.com posted an interesting blog on how huge Tiger Woods looks these days. While the site doesn’t accuse Tiger of doping, it does make note how the PGA has decided to drug test its golfers all of a sudden. Is it just a coincidence or is the PGA suddenly worried its superstar may be enhancing his game illegally?

      Personally, I don’t know why Tiger would feel the need to do roids anyway, since the guy already is a freak of nature without any help. I think he just decided to bulk up for the sake of getting into better shape.

      Upshaw needs to take care of his era

      June 22, 2007 /

      As a player, Gene Upshaw was a Hall of Famer. As the head of the NFL Players Association, Upshaw is public enemy #1 for many former and current players.

      In my latest column for Bullz-Eye.com, I got the chance to speak with former Lions linebacker Richard “Dirt” Jordan about how Upshaw has abandoned many of the players he played with. Like many current and former players, Jordan wasn’t afraid to speak his mind about Upshaw, the health state of former players, and the league in general.

      Girardi tells O’s ‘no thanks’

      June 21, 2007 /

      Joe Girardi cited timing and family as main reasons why he turned down the Baltimore Orioles manager job on Thursday.

      Girardi also said the decision had nothing to do with the New York Yankees, but that’s rather hard to believe. One has to believe with the Yankees (albeit hot now) off to a rather flat first half and Joe Torre in a contract year, that Girardi doesn’t want to miss an opportunity to coach in the Bronx. If the Yankees continue to rebound in the second half, win a title and Torre re-ups, fine, Girardi will still have suitors heading into 2008. But if NY falters this year, then Girardi makes it known he’s available to George Steinnybigwallet and he might get a crack at one of his dream jobs.

      Plus hey, lets be honest, it’s not like the Baltimore job is a highly attractive one anyway, so maybe Girardi really didn’t base the decision on the Yankees.

      Pacman skips questioning with police

      June 21, 2007 /

      According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, DeKalb County police are trying to get in touch with Pacman Jones to question him about his involvement in a recent shooting outside a nightclub in Atlanta. Apparently Pacman is too busy these days to meet with the police, however.

      “What we’ve heard [from his lawyer] is that he is in Tennessee on the practice field, so we’re trying to coordinate when he would come back to Atlanta,” said Keisha Williams, a DeKalb police spokeswoman.

      What practice? The dude has been suspended for the entire year. What is he practicing with some youth football players in a local park or something? Does he or his cockamamie lawyer have any clue how reality works or do they think they’re just living in some dream world?

      Johnson prepared for hold out

      June 21, 2007 /

      Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is apparently ready to hold out of training camp if he doesn’t receive a new contact.

      Before criticizing yet another athlete threatening to hold out for more money, consider that Johnson may be on point. He’s set to make only $1.7 million this year, which is well below market value for a guy that is still only 27, and handles the full running load every season. When you factor in how the Chiefs are normally pretty thrifty, Johnson has the right to find out whether the team he virtually carried on his back to the postseason last year is committed to him.
