How Will 18 NFL Games Affect Injury Management? »
The plan is this: take the last two preseason games (there are four total) and make them count. But tell that to the starters who usually played in only two preseason games anyway. Now they almost have to play in twenty straight weeks
Performance of the Week | July 26 – August 1, 2010 »

The list rightfully spans both the foundation, innovation and modernization of the game. No true guidelines exist for its compilation. For one, the names were presented sans-position, which allows only the best on the list. Secondly, statistics dominate the selections but can differ greatly from player-to-player. 32,172 points separate the list’s top and bottom scorers (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,327; Bill Walton 6,215).
Duct Tape Can Fix It: Indians Learn From iPhone Debacle »

That’s why it surprised me that Steve Jobs wanted to fix the problem for whatever cost it took. That’s like keeping a promising pitcher who’ll just ask for more money when his contract is up. So for you Cleveland Indian fans, here is what I propose to fix our attendance issues: “Tribe Tape.”
Strasburg Should be Playing in 2010 All-Star Game »
Stephen Strasburg should be playing in the MLB All-Star game tonight for the National League. There are valid arguments for both sides on why he should or shouldn’t be playing.

Joe Johnson left the 2010 free agency bonanza with the most money. The Atlanta Hawks will give him a reported $120 million for the next 6 years. That’s around $10 million less than Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. And don’t forget they fired their coach, the one who improved Atlanta’s record every year he coached them. This has to be one of the worst contracts and worst front offices in professional sports. Not that this needs validation, but here’s some career playoff stats:
