Just Play Basketball Allen Iverson and Keep Your Mouth Shut
Article by - Dustin Phifer November 3, 2009What do you get after just one game, one loss, and only 18 minutes of playing time off the bench for Allen Iverson? That would be an upset and angry Allen Iverson. Do you think the Memphis Grizzlies regret their decision to sign him after just one game? After an overtime loss to the winless Sacramento Kings, Iverson is already not happy with his role and it looks like it could only get worse. “I had no problems (with the hamstring),” Iverson said. “I had a problem with my butt from sitting on that bench so long. That’s the only thing I got a problem with.” Doesn’t it sound...
La Russa Returning to Manage Cardinals as Mcgwire Becomes Hitting Coach
Article by - Dustin Phifer October 29, 2009The St. Louis Cardinals are coming off a crushing NLDS sweep to the Los Angeles Dodgers and have a lot of decisions to make in the offseason. But one decision that they will now not have to worry about is the future of manager Tony La Russa. La Russa agreed to a one year contract to manage the Cardinals for a 15th season and a familiar face will be joining him on the coaching staff. Every coach from last season will return to the bench with La Russa with the exception of the hitting coach Hal McRae. McRae is now out and the guy taking his place is pretty well known in Cardinals baseball...

India Down Kiwis, Share Top ODI Spot
Article by - Chinmay Aradhye September 15, 2009The Indians started their Lanka campaign in grand style with a six - wicket win registered over The Kiwis. New Zealanders were looking troubled on the sub-continent wickets right through the Sri Lanka series, although they did manage to win the T-20. However, everyone knows that T-20 is as much a game of chance as of skill. India on the other hand came into the Compaq Cup with the hope of...

Gators Overwhelming Preseason # 1
Article by - Mark O'Leary August 26, 2009In an astounding and near unanimous consortium of AP pollsters, 58 out of 60 chose the defending national champion Florida Gators as their choice for pre season #1. It’s actually no surprise except for the two representatives who pegged Texas, and what were they thinking? Maybe they were from Texas, huh? You think? Accordingly, the Gators return the entire defensive unit that stifled teams during the 2008 season, especially the paltry 14 points that high scoring Oklahoma could muster during the 2008 BCS National Title game. So we take one of the most prolific scoring machines in the...
