Mike Schmidt was nothing short of a sensational athlete. When I was child growing up in the Philly suburbs, he came to a local HS with some other local athletes to give a talk on drugs and staying in school. The event was held in a gym and there was a basketball shoot around with guys like Mo Cheeks with the… Read more

He went 20-3 with a 2.22 ERA and finished 3rd??? What in God's name Jackson's and Hershiser's numbers? Read more

What the Paterno family doesn't seem to get is that the Freeh Report has little bearing on how people view Penn State, and no bearing on how they view Joe. I was a PSU fan because of the whole JoPa thing. I had no ties to PSU or Pennsylvania, and only rooted against PSU when they played OSU. What we KNOW Joe knew,… Read more

We never hear about it because it didn't happen to one of baseball's marquee franchises,… Read more

Wow, that is a pathetic and ridiculous response from the university to the student journalists. "I know Mass Communication was not your undergraduate major so you missed the classroom instruction regarding conflict of interest." Talk about passive aggressive. Read more

Why don't Hanley's ribs know how to play the game? What a wuss. If Whitey McWhiterson were still playing, he'd play four games after a breakfast of spark plugs, infield dirt, and apple pie. Read more

I'll be right over, Mike. Read more

it would be nice if you could blame all of this on Jindal foolishly refusing federal stimulus cash, but that would not have solved the much bigger problem, which is that it costs too much to run Grambling and not enough people want to pay the institution to educate them. people tend to associate universities as… Read more

He is a man amongst boys out there, Patrick Peterson couldn't even guard him, last week 4 targets, 4 catches, 2 TDs. I wonder if more scrub 6 ft 5 basketball players will give the NFL a shot Read more
