JASON KIDD & MIKE TOMLIN: COACHES GONE STUPID

Cheating has long been part of society, but it really seems to have gushed into the sports worldlike a tsunami over the last decade. Armstrong, A-Rod, Braun, and 'Spygate'. Need I go on?Heck, the friggin' Chines badminton team was tanking games in the Olympics in hopes of getting a better seed in the tournament. Good, grief.Now, there is more cheating, along with shamefully bad sportsmanship. Playing by the rulesand sportsmanship used...

BLACK FRIDAY: THE DUMBEST PROMOTION EVER

 There are some things that just scream dumb.  Giving Anthony Weiner a cell phone is one of them. Introducing Tiger Woods to a stripper is another. But few things are dumber than thepromotion that is Black Friday.That's right. National retail chains open their stores to bargain-obsessed customers who campout overnight to be the first people to lead the stampede when the green flag goes down just tosave 50 bucks on an item. How stupid.Sleep-deprived,...

I AM THANKFUL

I am thankful for my health. The groin pulls and calf strains may occur more frequently nowand the grooves around my eyes are deeper, but I'm thankful that I'm still upright and strongenough to run marathons, swim across lakes, and bike to Montauk.I am thankful that I have a job that I love and work with people who share the same passion, commitment and interests that I do. Love what you do, do what you love, and not have to worry...

NEWTOWN'S STRENGTH

No parent should ever have to experience what happened in a small town in the southwest part of Connecticut last December. No community should have to be forever linked to one of the worst events imaginable. No resident should ever have to hear the words, "Oh, I'm sosorry," after identifying where they are from to outsiders.The massacre of 20 innocent children and six adults in Sandy Hook Elementary School isalways going to be a part...

MLB'S WAR ON STEROIDS IS A JOKE

Bud Selig and Major League Baseball have put on the good face when saying they're tryingto rid the cheaters (PED's) from the game. It's a joke. They don't really care. They are not barring, blackballing, or preventing cheaters from the game they've been entrusted to protect.Instead, Major League Baseball is rewarding them.Jhonny Peralta, who was banned for 50-games for his role in the Biogenesis scandal, is reportedlyon the verge of signing...

A-ROD IS THE MOST DELUSIONAL MAN ON PLANET

I almost drove off the road while listening to the Alex Rodriquez interview with Mike Francesa on WFAN Tuesday. It was so absurd, it was ridiculously funny. I haven't laughedthat hard since watching Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze dancing half-naked as Chippendaleson an episode of "SNL".Earlier in the day, A-Rod had stormed out of his own grievance hearing after learning MLBcommissioner Bud Selig would not be coming into testify. He said he was tired...

SELFIE, THE PICTURE OF SELF-ABSORPTION, IS WORD OF YEAR

 The good ole 'selfie' has been declared the word of the year by Oxford dictionary. After thelast few weeks listening to the things coming out of the mouth of Toronto mayor Rob Ford,the folks in Canada might disagree with that, though.Yep, the 'selfie', the picture of self-absorption that we've been plastering all over and Facebook and Twitter for what seems like the last 20 years, received its very own award. It's the word of the year for 2013....

JOHNNY MANZIEL IS STILL BEST COLLEGE PLAYER---BY FAR

OK, let's all put down the moral compass and save the self-righteous rhetoric for another day.Character has nothing to do with sports. Absolutely nothing.If that were the case, the Philadelphia Phillies wouldn't have signed convicted drug cheat, MarlonByrd, to a 2-year, $16 million contract on Tuesday. If character counted so much, why thehell is convicted racist Riley Cooper still in the NFL? And if being squeaky clean was so important,what is convicted...
