WFL USFL XFL NFL-E And Now UFL AAFL

miracle — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:35:20 +0000

With as popular as the NFL is you would think that a spin off/copycat league would be successful. It worked for All In The Family/The Jeffersons-Maude, Barney Miller/Fish, B.J. and the Bear/The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo, Knight Rider/Code of Vengeance-Team Knight Rider, Happy Days/Laverne and Shirley-Joanie Loves Chachi…….you get the idea. Spin offs most of [...]

The Rangers Report: Financially Strapped Edition

morisato — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 06:30:38 +0000

Hick’s Cash Flow Problems To Hinder Improvements With the recent news that the Rangers borrowed $15 million from MLB to make payroll, this all but signifies that the Rangers are absolutely fucked if there is to be any sort of trade deadline deal. Granted, that seems to be the approach that Jon Daniels, but now it looks official. According [...]

flyingpig — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:17:59 +0000

Quite a while back, I wrote a post titled “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”. I went on to explain that these words belong to the phonetic alphabet and most military people would know the significance of WTF. What the FUCK? Sorry my friends, but sometimes you just have to stand on the sidelines shaking your head from [...]

Insolvable Debates - Ali vs. Tyson

shooterb — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:25:07 +0000

I’d like to think of myself as immune to hype, but I’m not. For several months, EA sports has been pimping the idea of a Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson bout…obviously intending to draw some interest for their upcoming video game title – Fight Night Round 4.

Eventually, Common Sense Prevails…RIGHT?

The rules of war date back for centuries. Call it gamesmanship on the battlefield. The rules have been written and amended several times over and debated for years and years. Many countries and their leaders have agreed to and signed documents referring to these “Rules of War” but just because they’ve agreed to them doesn’t [...]

Selling Childhood Cheaply

Programming Note: The Rangers Report Will Be Back Next Week, As I’m Recharging After The Draft I am not a parent. A godparent, but not a actual parent.

What does it REALLY MEAN?

flyingpig — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:10:15 +0000

I know that I’ve touched on this subject in the past, but the timing felt right. When our teams make it to a championship game, what is in it for us? What does it really mean to a team, a fan or a city/state when their team brings home the prize? How are we better [...]

Currently in 7th place Mike Cameron, he failed a test for banned stimulants twice in 2007 and was suspended for 25 games. In 5th [...]

The “Billy D. Williams” smooth line that is below my “Add New Post” section still throws me off. On Friday I watched “The Hangover” with my brother and some friends, which meant I saw a movie that featured Mike Tyson for the 2nd straight week. Last week I went to see the documentary done on the former [...]
