      Michael Vick the Buccaneer?

      April 6, 2009 /

      Michael VickPeter King of SI.com speculates that once the Falcons release Michael Vick, two landing spots for the suspended quarterback could be Oakland and Tampa Bay.

      8. I think I’m dying to know who’s going to try to sign Mike Vick when the Falcons release him. Two teams come to mind: Oakland and Tampa Bay. The Bucs are longshots, but I don’t think new GM Mark Dominick is afraid of him.

      The Raiders are an easy choice, but I think King is on the right track in tossing out teams that nobody expects to take on a shot on Vick. Tampa is a long shot, but they have a new GM and head coach and could be looking for a quarterback. The Jets are another team that comes to mind that needs a quarterback and has a strong presence at head coach now in Rex Ryan that could handle Vick. (Although the New York media would absolutely hammer Vick on a daily basis.)

      I don’t think you could count out a team like Washington taking a shot on Vick either with Daniel Snyder at the helm. Snyder doesn’t seem entirely sold on Jason Campbell (him trying to trade Campbell last week is evidence of that) and he’s never shy about the flashy signing. Is Vick a good fit for the West Coast Offense? No. But neither is Byron Leftwich and Snyder is pursing him.

      A-Rod to be back by April?

      April 6, 2009 /

      Yankees’ third basemen Alex Rodriguez was able to take a couple of light swings on Sunday for the first time since his hip surgery and is now eyeing an April return to the lineup.

      Alex RodriguezThe Yankees believe A-Rod could be back in their lineup in mid-May. When Rodriguez initially elected to have surgery, his return was projected in 6-9 weeks, meaning he could also be back as soon as late April. Long said he “wouldn’t be surprised” if Rodriguez returned at the end of April or early May.

      Long said he planned to see Rodriguez in Tampa when the Yankees are in St. Petersburg, April13-15, to play the Rays. At that point, A-Rod likely will be doing his rehab workouts at the Yanks’ minor-league complex near Steinbrenner Field, the Daily News reported.

      All HGH jokes/allegations aside, A-Rod has always been a fast healer so this news shouldn’t surprise anyone. But the Yankees should still be cautious with his return. You don’t want to rush him onto the field only to have him suffer a setback and have to return to the DL.

      Also, the sooner he comes back, the sooner the media frenzy starts again in terms of his performance-enhancing drug use. And allegations will certainly fly about his quick recovery from hip surgery if he does come back as early as April.

      Green Day single to be debuted Monday night on NCAA championship telecast

      April 5, 2009 /

      Film and TV have become the new radio for debuting music, and now the major labels are using big events as a vehicle to showcase some of their top talent. Tomorrow night to kick off CBS’ broadcast of the NCAA men’s basketball championship, Warner Bros. will debut the new single, “Know Your Enemy,” from powerhouse rock band Green Day’s forthcoming album, 21st Century Breakdown.

      90 seconds of the lead single, in its television world premiere, will serve as the backing music to the show’s intro featuring video of contestants Michigan State and North Carolina, who will then square off in the title game in Detroit. 21st Century Breakdown is due out May 15, and Green Day is planning a world tour immediately following in support of it.

      For CBS, this is their 28th straight season broadcasting the Final Four. After that, the network will turn its attention to golf next weekend, when The Masters kicks off Thursday in Augusta, Georgia.

      Take me out to the……office?

      April 5, 2009 /

      Baseball season kicks off tonight with the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies officially getting the 2009 party started, and with a full slate of games scheduled for opening Monday tomorrow. But if we’re not going to opening day in our hometown, most of us are working, and many of you (not me, thankfully) have to wear a suit and tie to work. But rest assured, The Tie Bar has delivered a line of baseball ties that are snappy enough for you to wear to work, and still at the $15 price tag of their other lines of ties.

      “The Tie Bar shares its love for baseball with the rest of the country,” says CEO and Designer Greg Shugar. “We’ve designed great looking baseball themed ties for only $15 each, so that everyone can share in the spirit of the season.”

      The only drawback? These ties are baseball themed, with little batters in baseball uniforms as the design, and they come in four colors, claiming that you can match the color to your favorite team. The problem is, not every team boasts green, red, blue or gold as its primary color. Team logos would be way cool, but I’m guessing there is a hefty licensing price tag to do something like that. So for you guys who just enjoy the game and are fired up about opening day, or about baseball season in general, go check these ties out at www.TheTieBar.com
