Is Jeff Kent a Hall of Famer?

Jeff Kent should finish his career in the top 50 all-time in both HR and RBI. That’s quite an accomplishment for a second baseman. Coupled with the fact that he was also once league MVP – will that be enough to get him elected to Cooperstown?
I asked the question because I really can’t make up [...]

Shaq and his Laker Days

Shaq wasn’t the first great player to win a title with the Lakers, and he won’t be the last. Yay for the titles. . . now he needs to take his share of the blame for the fact the 2003-2004 Lakers fell apart.
I hear what people are saying about Shaq doing great things for the [...]

Bill Simmons is Forgivable

Listen up, folks; this is going to be the third blog post about Bill Simmons in TSTOS history and the first one of 2008. Feel free to indulge this historical milestone of significance and allow me to further elaborate my thoughts on the Worldwide Leader’s Sports Guy.
You see, I’m a pretty big advocate of Bill [...]

Rocking into the 2008 NFL Season

The 2008 NFL season is a little over four months away. After the Draft commenced this weekend, I realized that I couldn’t wait until the season to start. I’m a football fan before I’m a [die hard] Rams fan, however, I enjoyed reading this:
“I wanted to go to St. Louis the whole time,” Long said. [...]

Dwyane Wade — Where’s the Respect and Recognition?

Two years ago, Dwyane Wade was touted as the best player in the NBA. As of this moment, many fans don’t even have him in their top 10 player lists. But that’s the perils of even listening to What Have You Done For Me Lately fans.
Wade played injured and banged up the whole season last [...]

Torry Holt will be a Carolina Panther in two Years

You can check out the video and make your decision. I know mine

I can’t blame Holt for saying that. The Rams don’t care about him anyway. The way the Rams use players is pathetic. The alienation of Isaac Bruce broke my heart as a fan, and to see Holt leave wouldn’t [...]

A Long Way to Go

With the second pick in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams selected DE Chris Long out of the University of Virginia. This post could have appeared earlier in the day, thanks to Michael Smith’s prescient reporting that mentioned that the Rams had their sights locked and loaded on the [...]

Yes, I’m That Movie Guy

Are you one of the people that absolutely hate when people watch the same movie over and over, constantly buying DVDs to watch them — at random times — all the time to remember the lines and master impersonations of the characters? That guy/that girl getting on your last nerve with their ability to not [...]

Unbeatable: The San Antonio Spurs

Tony Parker netted 41 points in the Spurs’ 115-99 win over the Suns in Game 3 of the First Round action to bulk up the series, virtually putting it away with a 3-0 series lead for San Antonio, seeing as no team has ever came back from such a deficit.
People will still doubt the Spurs. [...]

For One More Day

Two nights ago I finished Mitch Albom’s “For One More Day.” A short one at that (189 pages). It read like a novel, yet was a true story of Charles “Chick” Benetto’s attempted suicide where he faded/passed out into a miffed twilight and sought out to talk to his mother and see various other people [...]
