      Selected with the 23rd overall pick in the 2008 draft, third-year running back Rashard Mendenhall will be counted on to anchor the Steelers’ rushing attack heading into the 2010 NFL season. He also does his part to spread the message of the “Athletes’ Creed.”

      Here’s some more information about what the Creed is:

      – 86% of young athletes confirm they’ve seen trash talking during games increase as they’ve gotten older

      – 79% say showing good sportsmanship doesn’t seem to be as important as it used to be

      – 81% agree that athletes today would rather win the game then play completely fairly

      – 73% admit their athletic peers believe it’s cheating only if they’re caught

      With the Champion Gridiron Kings (follow Champion at Facebook) seven-on-seven competition serving as his backdrop, we recently had the opportunity to talk to Rashard about the “Athletes’ Creed,” as well as his expectations for himself and the Steelers in 2010. Check out the video interview below.

      The effort in Baltimore is poor on all fronts these days

      July 23, 2010 /

      Can we get a little more hustle out in Baltimore? Geesh. The Orioles aren’t exerting much effort and neither are the security guards at Camden Yards apparently:

      This is quite a stark difference from the kid that got the Taser treatment in Philadelphia earlier this year. These guys just waited until the young man tired himself out before apprehending him.

      Hey, both tactics worked……….I guess.

      Goodbye, Lou Brown…

      July 18, 2010 /

      James Gammon, the actor that played manager Lou Brown in the “Major League” movies, has died at the age of 70 according to the Examiner.

      Gammon battled “cancer two and a half years ago. It came back aggressively about a month ago in his adrenal glands and liver,” according to his wife, Nancy. Unfortunately, the actor was too weak to do surgery or chemotherapy, so he choose to do hospice at home for his remaining days.

      He had a vast career starting as a cameraman while acting in local theater. The actor moved to California and began acting in television. In 1967, James made his film debut in Cool Hand Luke along side actor Paul Newman.

      Throughout his career, Gammon logged more than 135 screen credits, but is best known for his film role in the 1989 comedy Major League where he played Lou Brown, manager of the hopeless Cleveland Indians. He also played a key role in films including, Urban Cowboy, The Milagro Beanfield War, Leaving Normal, Ironweed, Silverado and Cold Mountain.

      RIP, Lou…

      Tim McCarver compares Joe Torre situation with Yankees to WWII

      July 18, 2010 /

      During FOX’s broadcast of the Yankees-Rays game on Saturday, announcer Tim McCarver broke into a tirade over the way the Bombers handled former manager Joe Torre’s exit from New York.

      Here’s the video.

      McCarver has always loved to hear himself talk and this is evidence of such. He says that Yankees have essentially scrubbed themselves clean of all things Joe Torre in their new stadium, but there’s zero truth to that. There might not be a statue of Torre outside of the stadium, but there is at least one photo of him on the field level concourse and I’m sure there are others.

      Some announcers love to compare situations in sports to historical events like World War II. In most instances, they go overboard in these comparisons and I think that’s what McCarver did here. What does he want the Yankees to do? Have a Joe Torre day at the stadium while he’s the manager of the Dodgers? It isn’t going to happen. Given all he accomplished in New York, it’s unfortunate that Torre didn’t end his career with the Yankees, but things happen. Times change, people move on – everything eventually comes to an end.
