So our local jock sniffers keep complaining about talking about Antonio Brown, yet they continue to talk about Antonio Brown.

T-Ball Weekend

First day of the 2014 T-Ball season!

Banned For Life

I must say, I am surprised and pleased with NBA commissioner Adam Silver's decision to ban Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life due to his recent racist remarks.  Of course, the lawsuits will fly, but Sterling owns a franchise, and just as the owner of a car dealership or a fast food restaurant can have his franchise license revoked, I suspect the same applies to a sporting franchise.

And I'm sure the usual idiots will complain that Stermilng's "free speech rights" are being violated, but of course, they're not.  He's still free to spout whatever bigoted crap he chooses to.  We, as private citizens, and the NBA, as a private business, do not have to put up with it.

I'll add that I'm amused that the two people I referenced are named Sterling and Silver.

A Lifetime Ban Would Be A Start

I just do not understand why professional hockey tolerates assault. 

I enjoy watching the game, but the constant dropping of gloves to fight just turns me off.  Of course, the Thornton/Orpik matter goes beyond your typical hockey fight, but its still a sport where its routine for players to stop skating and start punching it each other.  Its not only tolerated, but encouraged.

FINALLY!

The Pirates are losers no more!

One And Done

Sorry folks.  Pitt just isn't a serious contender, hasn't been for years, and isn't likely to be one anytime soon, in basketball OR football.

Wow.

 

If only more coaches and players had this mindset.

Who's In First??

The Pirates are, that's who!  Two games up on the Reds, ten games over .500, a sweep of the Astros, a four game winning streak, and 8-2 over their last 10 games, currently the hottest team in baseball. 

Tabata Sent Down

Wow.  He's been blowing goats this season but I did not expect this.  Gorkys Hernandez will take his place.  Perhaps this is the wake up call that Tabata, who idolizes Clemente,  needs to get his game back on track. 

Ward Retires

Class act.

Ward arrived at the Steelers' South Side practice facility wearing an all-black suit and a gold tie, which made it pretty clear what decision he had come to about his future.

"Today, I'm officially retiring a Pittsburgh Steeler," Ward said. "And as much as I will miss football, my teammates, coaches and everything about the game, I don't want to play it in any other uniform. The black and gold runs deep in me, and I will remain a Steeler for life."
