Michael Beasley Tweets Himself to Trip to Rehab

Michael Beasley Tweets Himself to Trip to Rehab
First we watched Stephon Marbury have a nervous breakdown, live on the web.  Now, Michael Beasley, the Miami Heat's second-year player and last year's #2 overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft has tweeted his thoughts of frustration — and quite possibly depression — along with a photo of himself posing...

If only Plaxico had listened to Maurice Clarett

If only Plaxico had listened to Maurice Clarett
It's pretty obvious that up to this point in life Plaxico has not had many good role models.  He's been fined (between 40 and 50 times), suspended, and now sentenced to 2 years in jail.  No one in his life has ever taught, or perhaps more fairly, got through to him on how to think critically.  He,...

Plaxico Burress… NFL Players Say What?

Plaxico Burress… NFL Players Say What?
Over the years sports has given us a great deal to talk (argue) about, to yell and cheer about, and occasionally laugh about.  But few athletes have given us all three.  Enter Plaxico Burress. Within a little over a year Plax has gone from a super bowl hero, to the butt end of joke, to reaching his...

Willie Anderson speaks about Plaxico and role models

Willie Anderson speaks about Plaxico and role models
All to often we hear about the athletes in bad way.  We hear about despicable actions like dog fighting (Michael Vick), poor judgment like DUI manslaughter (Donte' Stallworth), and just plain old stupidity like shooting yourself in a nightclub with an illegal gun that was tucked away in the waistline...

Mark Madsen: Appeal For Vick
In his most recent blog entry, Mark Madsen shares his thoughts on the Michael Vick situation.  In short, he makes an appeal for appeals: Roger Goodell is the commissioner of the NFL and after many days of deliberation, he and his staff announced the NFL's suspension and Vick's conditional reinstatement...

Someone Get Jamal a Blog . . . and a Tissue

Someone Get Jamal a Blog . . . and a Tissue
Jamal Anderson really needs to learn the difference between a twitter feed and a blog.  Which is surprising.  He's been on twitter for quite some time and has been a very active user.  Both in posting updates as well as interacting with followers.   Yesterday, however, something went a little wacky...

Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Next time you go to the rodeo, keep your eye out for Chris Cooley.  He'll be the "big dude wearing a bad ass bandanna" and cheering for the bulls.  He spent the past weekend occupied in this manner, apparently for reasons related to his distaste for cowboys. In his latest blog entry, he writes: I spent...

Vontae Davis: Just A Rumor

Vontae Davis: Just A Rumor
Yesterday, Vontae Davis used his blog in order to dispel an inaccurate rumor: I'm sure you have heard or read the rumor that "I was arrested in Champaign, Illinois on June 9th" but I wanted to let you know that it is not true. The only explanation I have is that my wallet was stolen while I was still...

You’ve Got A Lot Of Nerve

You’ve Got A Lot Of Nerve
Yesterday, Maurice Clarett updated the blog he writes from prison with yet another personal and emotional entry.  This time he has a message for those who have forgotten him.  He writes: Someone sent me a photo to autograph and the photo sent me down memory lane. My choices weren't the best but I don't...
