The Changing Sports Media

There is a civil war in the world of sports media, and it’s taken three sides. It used to be simply the athletes against the media. Now, not only is it still the athletes against the media, but there is also now the traditional media against new media. Examining the blogosphere and where it fits in today’s sports media.

The Best of YouTube: Sports Part I

I don’t know if you’ve seen this thing called the “YouTube” on the Interweb, but apparently they’ve got lot’s of videos. If you’re like me, you like your entertainment handed to you with minimal work. So that’s what I’ve done. I’ve compiled my favorite sports themed clips from YouTube and have arranged them for you in one easy to view page. I am calling this part one because I have the intention of doing more of these. Enjoy.

Making an NCAA Football Playoff

The most controversial sport in the world, outside of boxing, is college football. It is the only sport that has a league format, with no discernible playoff. All professional sports, and as far as I can tell, all college sports, have some type of playoff. Whether it’s tournament style (like basketball, baseball, [...]

On NCAA Preseason Rankings

So the NCAA football preseason rankings came out this week. USC is number one, followed by LSU. And more than likely, only a loss can change those rankings.

17 Ways to Fix Boxing…And Counting

While I love nearly everything about the “sweet science”, there are problems with it. The following is an outline to create a boxing commission to help fix the things wrong in the sport. I am offering my solution to the problem, and maybe together we can get some changes implemented to boxing. [...]

Major League Baseball Blackout Policy

I am taking issue with Major League Baseball’s blackout rules. Honestly, this MLB blackout policy is just ridiculous. I have the DIRECTV baseball package, yet night in and night out, I can’t watch the games I want to. It’s not just that I can’t watch the feed that I want to (i.e. [...]

In Defense of Barry Bonds

As Barry Bonds begins his reign as the new Major League Baseball “Home Run King“, the allegations and accusations are growing louder and louder. You can’t turn on a San Francisco Giants game on the road and not hear the “Steroids!..Steroids!…” chant and non-stop boos. Read anything written about Bonds in the last [...]
