While the Fighting Irish took down Navy to become bowl eligible for the first time in two years, they lost a key component of the offense that got them there. Three plays into the 27-21 victory over the Midshipmen, Michael Floyd went down with a sprained knee that will keep him from playing in the final two games of the season. This shouldn't affect Notre Dame versus the lowly Syracuse Orangemen this upcoming Saturday; however, it does seriously affect the Irish's chances of making a competitive game of the Thanksgiving weekend showdown with USC. Without Floyd, the Trojans will be able t... (original story)

It's always dangerous, but never boring, when a newspaper sports columnist uncorks a political thesis. Enter Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel. Bianchi thinks that there are some unsung heroes who deserve credit for helping put a black man in the White House—and they are athletes. "If you're searching for tangible reasons why it became possible for Barack Obama to make his historic run at the presidency ... look no further than the golf course, basketball court or football field." Bianchi believes that, since sports have conditioned white America to accept African-Americans as heroes ... (original story)

The idea that Indian cricket is totally responsible for the non emergence of other sports is a brutal misconception. Cricket, many believe, takes the limelight and is the reason why other sports such as hockey, football and basketball are not developing. It surely is beautiful topic to debate on. But, is cricket really responsible? Many factors seem to be responsible... The Passion for Cricket. Blame this beautiful sport. Every night, millions of children sleep dreaming about this wonderful sport they will be playing when the dawn breaks. Every day, millions of hearts of young mother&rs... (original story)
Will the Real Atlanta Falcons Fans Please Stand Up?

There are only three guarantees in life: death, taxes, and Atlanta sports fans jumping off the bandwagon at the first sign of adversity. After browsing many message boards this morning, including several on the Atlanta Falcons website, I have come to a realization that I’ve suspected for a long time: True Falcons fans are the minority. A tough loss yesterday and a vocal segment of the “fans” are ready to fire everyone in the organization and ship the franchise to Oklahoma City. I can hardly count the number of absurd posts that I’ve read calling for the Falcons to... (original story)

Author John Feinstein referred to Q-School as golf’s fifth major in his widely popular book Tales from Q-School. The PGA Tour Qualifying School events are arguably the most pressure-packed tournaments in all of golf. A player’s future and a potential for millions of dollars in earnings are all riding upon how a player performs over the course of just 14 days. Needless to say, there were many shaky hands gripping putters around the country at the second stage of Q-School, which concluded yesterday. However, there was one player out there who was playing ag... (original story)

For race fans, the final race of the season is like watching the other boy's of summer walk off the field for the last time. It can be either celebratory or heartbreaking. But for all of us, it only makes us want next year to come that much faster. There were many sad moments on Sunday's race: Watching Tony Stewart say goodbye to all of his crew, and watching the fans salute what has been one of NASCAR's best crew chief and driver pairings. The moment when you knew Jimmie Johnson was destined to win this championship, no matter how hard Carl Edwards pushed. A long, hard-fought battle tha... (original story)
Randy Johnson: The Chicago Cubs' Worst-Case Scenario

Auto Racing : Auto Racing Blogs, News and Articles
There are rumors floating, and indeed Bob Warja wrote a piece recently linking free agent Randy Johnson to the Chicago Cubs. Johnson's agent has been quoted, saying Johnson would be willing to work on a one-year contract with a team that's close, and that the Cubs would "definitely" be on his short list. To begin with, the Cubs are going to be on anyone's short list. Wrigley Field is aesthetically gorgeous, the opportunity to play in front of an excited sell-out crowd every day is enticing, and the potential of helping the Cubs break their alleged "curse" strokes an ego like Clarence Cart...

NFL Week 11 Observations

After Week 11, what most have known became pretty much evident to all: The New York Giants are the best team in the NFL. No disrespect to the Tennessee Titans, but the Giants are a more complete team and have beat far better teams week-in, week-out. Yesterday was no different. With the prospect of throwing into 30 mile-per-hour winds on a cold, gusty afternoon in the Meadowlands, the Giants decided to utilize its top-ranked rushing offense against the Ravens' No. 1 rushing defense. The result was 207 yards rushing for the G-Men, as they beat down Baltimore at its own game. Defensively, aside f... (original story)

He is 19-years-old and likes Spongebob Squarepants cartoons and wears a Batman mouthguard during games. This is Michael Beasley, a young and vibrant kid who is living his dream. People seem to forget that he is just a KID. He is also the starting Power Forward of the Miami Heat. It was a move that had to be made when considering this roster in order to start the trio of Shawn Marion and Udonis Haslem along with himself. We're only 10 games into the 2008-09 NBA season, but it's never too early for impressions. Michael Beasley is currently averaging 16.3 points per game to go along with 5.9 rebo... (original story)
NY Giants: Good Luck Trying To Stop This Stampede of Blue

The Baltimore Ravens came into the Meadowlands Sunday sporting the best run defense in the NFL. They left with the full understanding that there is no defense for what they had gone up against. The New York Giants have one of the most proficient and powerful running attacks in NFL history. Their 5.3 yards-per-carry is the highest in the NFL by nearly a full yard and the highest since 1963, when Jim Brown was running over people in Cleveland. That being said, it was no surprise when the Giants shredded, mowed, and flattened the Ravens' defense for not just 100, but 207 yards. That was the... (original story)

I know it's a hard time with everyone with some 130 days until first practice...and the news is a little slow, but I will continue to plough my contacts for news! So, the annual Yahoo! and Crash.net Top driver of the year poll has just been published with some interesting results. Now bearing in mind that this is a UK based poll the winner is surprising although it is very close, with only 10 votes between first and second. So, here we go: 1) Fernando Alonso. In my view, thoroughly deserved! 2) Lewis Hamilton. Surprising in view of his nationality, but was very close.&n... (original story)
