The Dallas Cowboys have had a roller coaster season so far with plenty of ups and downs. The latest problem involved Josh Brent being arrested for killing a teammate while driving drunk. Killed was practice squad member Jerry Brown. The Dallas Cowboys did not need this as they are in a battle for a playoff spot, but just another problem they must deal with. The Dallas Cowboys will play with heavy hearts, but many times a tragedy can pull a team together even more than before.
The Dallas Cowboys will have a lot of their mind Sunday, but through it all they know they must continue to fight over all the issues. Losing a teammate is hard and the Dallas Cowboys must face that reality Sunday. Can they overcome it and continue their drive to the playoffs. I think they can as most teams win games like this for their fallen players. Many times tragedies such as this can carry a team all season long. Only time will tell how it will have an impact on the Dallas Cowboys. The one thing we do know the Dallas Cowboys did not need this to happen.

Kobe Bryant Getting Tired Of Losing With This Cast Of Lakers
Kobe Bryant has always been about winning and that will not change anytime soon, but his latest cast of Lakers is making that tough for him. You would think with the team the Lakers put on the floor it would be winning at a good rate, but that is not the case. Steve Nash has been injured and Dwight Howard is being Dwight Howard of course. How long will Kobe Bryant take this before he blows up on his team?
The one thing that Kobe Bryant does not like to do and that is lose basketball games. He is all about winning NBA Championships and he will not accept anything less. Kobe also is not beyond calling people on his team out in private or public. Most of the time Kobe will do it behind close doors, but is not afraid to go public to air his opinions either. Sometimes this can be a good or bad thing depending on the player.
Like him or hate him we will probably see Kobe Bryant go on a long rant about his team. Unless they start winning look for Mr. Bryant to go on a rant that will be comical but serious as well. Kobe is about winning and will call out anyone he feels is not pulling their weight on his team.

Dwight Howard Gets Taught A Lesson By His Former Team The Orlando Magic
Dwight Howard wanted out of Orlando so bad he burned a lot of bridges along the way. Last night in Los Angeles he had a chance to extract some revenge on former teammates and the Orlando Magic. The problem is he cannot shoot free throws and who knows that better then the Orlando Magic. The Magic employed Hack a Howard on their way to a 113-103 win. The Magic used balanced scoring to win the game that seen Dwight Howard walk off the court without shaking any Magic players hands. I guess there is still a bitter taste in his mouth about the way things went down.
For the Los Angeles Lakers they cannot keep losing to these teams they should easily beat. If Hack a Howard worked for the Magic you know other teams are going to use it as well. It just makes sense to do it when Howard is struggling at the free throw line. For Magic fans it had to be a Magical night in Orlando as they got Howard back for ditching them like he did. I can't imagine how loud the crowd will be in Orlando when Dwight Howard makes his one appearance for the year.

Does The San Antonio Spurs Deserved To Be Punished?
The San Antonio Spurs have done this in the past without much fanfare, but this time around the punishment could be severe. It seems that David Stern is not very happy with the Spurs coach Greg Popovich sending home four players. Now this would not have been a big deal if it was not a National televised game against the Miami Heat. It was a high profiled game and the NBA wants their best players on the floor.
The real interesting part is what David Stern will do as Popovich really did not break any rules. I'm sure Stern will come up with something as he does not want other teams to do this kind of thing in the future. It hurts the game and fans who pay to see these superstars. It also gives the NBA a black eye as they want to be as fan friendly as possible and they cannot do that if they let coaches send home players.

Maryland To Join Big Ten In 2014 As Money Talks
Maryland will be heading to the Big Ten in 2014 as the lure of television contracts and big money was too much to turn down. Right now, Maryland is looking for cash as they are strapped and can use the extra revenue that they could get from joining the Big Ten. Maryland recently had to cancel several sports, so the money will help them out a lot. Maryland is giving up the tradition of the ACC for cash and they understand that and so should their fans.
What does the Big Ten get from this partnership? It would seem that the Big Ten does not benefit, but that is far from the truth. They are expanding their base and Maryland can help them reach that and they know it. The revenue they can earn from adding Maryland could be substantial if everything works out for the Big Ten. If the Big Ten did not think they could not make money off of Maryland they would not have been included in the Big Ten simple but true. Even though the Big Ten is a school conference it still is about the money.
The Big Ten wants to be one of the elite conferences and wants a big television contract and the only way to do that is add more teams and bigger markets for their product to reach. Maryland is just one of those steps to get that done. Look for the Big Ten to add at least one other team before it is all said and done.

Does The Dallas Cowboys Still Have A Chance At The Playoffs?
It has been a up and down season for Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys so far in 2012. This does not mean you should count them out just yet. The Dallas Cowboys beat the Cleveland Browns in overtime by a score of 23-20. Yes, it was not really very impressive, but a win is a win. People never judge you on how you got the end result as long as you got it. The Dallas Cowboys head into Thanksgiving week at 5-5 and a chance to improve on that Thanksgiving Day when they play the Redskins.
The Cowboys have a tough upcoming schedule, so it will not be easy to make the playoffs, but you never know. Another loss could really hurt their chances, so they need to remain perfect to make the playoffs. Everyone knows the Dallas Cowboys are talented, but they just never are able to produce on the football field like they should. If they did we would not be talking about making the playoffs, but winning a division title.
The Dallas Cowboys are a team that sometimes is hard to figure out that's for sure. At times, they look like they can beat anyone, and other times they cannot beat the worse teams in the NFL. If they ever could come into a season dedicated to winning they would be very good. I don't know why it is such a struggle for them, but with all the egos that could have something to do with it. Right now they will be happy to sneak into the playoffs and so will Cowboy fans as well.

Notre Dame Finally Gets To The Top Of College Football Heap
Notre Dame Fighting Irish have not got much respect this year, but they finally have reached the College Football apex this past Saturday. Oregon and K-State got bit by the upset bug making way for Notre Dame to be rated No.1 and a chance to play for a BCS Championship. It has been a long time since the Irish has been in this position, but they still have some work ahead of them before a title game. Notre Dame still has a dangerous USC team that would love to upset them in a season they have struggled.
Right behind Notre Dame is the one loss Alabama Crimson Tide whom would give the Irish a real challenge if they happen to face them in a BCS Championship game. Oregon and K-State and a number of other teams are hoping one of the two top teams stumble so they can sneak back into the championship hunt. Right now though it is Notre Dame's and Alabama's to lose. You never know as no one expect K-State or Oregon to get beat this weekend either.
The interesting thing would be if Notre Dame did get beat the BCS would have a real mess on their hands with a lot of one-loss teams. I can see the people of the BCS praying Notre Dame does not lose or they could have a real hornet's nest to deal with in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to say the least for the BCS.

Concussions Killing The NFL
Concussions lately have been the talk of most NFL fans and people in the know. The NFL has taken a lot of negative press for concussions, but I am here to say it should not all be on the NFL. Yes, it is a problem and the NFL does need to do more, but players have to be honest as well. I will bet you that many NFL players are not truthful with doctors so they can continue playing. It has always been that way and I do not see that stopping anytime soon.
The truth is players are putting their futures in jeopardy and they do not seem to care either. That is sad, but a reality that we are facing right now. The NFL does need to do more, but the players have to be honest as well. If players are not going to be honest about their injuries the NFL has its hands tied. Hopefully, NFL players will not hide information from doctors as in reality they are hurting themselves later in life.

Did The Lakers Hire The Wrong Coach?
The Los Angeles Laker fans wanted Phil Jackson, but ownership went a different direction. Did ownership make a mistake? Phil Jackson was the logical choice as he has proven to be a winner and probably could have won another NBA Championship with the group the Lakers have right now. Ownership though went a different direction which was kind of strange. In the end, this could be a big mistake for the Los Angeles Lakers. Yes, they hired Mike D’Anton I and he is an excellent choice, but not the one many people wanted.
Phil Jackson in my opinion would have been the best choice by far. He could work with Dwight Howard and get him to become a better player. Kobe Bryant knows Jackson real well and I think they could have worked well together, but we will not find out. If the Lakers win the NBA Championship this year no one will remember that they did not hire Phil Jackson. If the Lakers do not win a championship the backlash could last for a very long time that’s for sure.

With Alabama Losing Who Has The Inside Track To BCS Championship Game
After Alabama fell to Texas A&M there are many questions on how this will all play out now. Alabama was a lock, but with their loss it opens the door open for three teams. Oregon,Kansas State, and Notre Dame all have a shot at the big game now. Right now it looks like we could see Oregon and K-State in the BCS Championship if both teams win out. Where does this leave Notre Dame?
Notre Dame is a good team, but will have a hard time getting past Oregon or K-State to play in the BCS Championship game. The one thing that Notre Dame has going for them is they are a great drawing card for any Bowl game. That still will not be enough to get them in the BCS Championship game though. The BCS system is not a good way to do it and Notre Dame could go undefeated andand get nothing for it, but that’s how it works. Notre Dame will probably find out how Boise State has felt the last few years.
Even though Alabama has a loss they still could be the best team in college football. This is why we need a college football playoff. Hopefully, we will get it soon and not have to worry about teams getting screwed anymore.

Brady Quinn Gets His Chance To Be A Starter Again
Brady Quinn came out of Notre Dame with high hopes to be a star in the NFL, but so far that has not been the case. He struggled in Cleveland and did not get much of a chance in Denver. Fast forward and he gets another chance this time as the Kansas City Chiefs starter for the time being. Brady Quinn has talent, but for some reason things have never clicked for him. He is hoping that Kansas City is where the revival of his career happens to start.
For Quinn he has a tough order ahead of him as the Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of problems. This does not mean he cannot do it, but it will be an uphill battle for him. Quinn must be able to show some type of success or he could find himself back on the bench and he realizes this better then anyone else on the team.
Fans of the Chiefs will cheer him if he does well, but will also boo if he fails to deliver. The ball is in Brady Quinn's hands and his future in the NFL could be determine what he does in the next few games. Brady Quinn realizes this, but actions speak louder than words and he knows that better than anyone.

Lance Armstrong Continues As He Loses His Tour De France Titles
Lance Armstrong is no longer a Tour De France champion as his free fall in the cycling world continues. Even the Tour would like Lance to pay back the prize money he has won. I will have to admit I really never thought it would come to this for Lance but it has. Once considered one of the greatest cyclist, now he will just be a distant memory to most people.
For Lance Armstrong his world has been crumbling around him. No one really could have expected this, but now Lance Armstrong has become a disgraced cyclist that sponsors loved along with the cycling community. That will not be the case anymore and that is a shame. Lance Armstrong chose not to do things the right way and now he is paying for it. It did not have to come to this, but now Lance Armstrong only has himself to blame and his life is in disarray because of it.

Can Derek Jeter Catch Pete Rose Hit Record?
I will be the first one to admit I never thought we would be talking about Derek Jeter and Pete Rose in the same breath, but we happen to be. Jeter has shown that he can still play the game of baseball at a very high level. As Jeter gets closer to 4,000 hits people will be talking about Pete Rose's hit record. By personal opinion this is one record that I think will never be broken.
Derek Jeter is 38 years old and besides shortstop there really is no other spot for Jeter. He would have to leave the New York Yankees to move to second base to extend his career. I do not look for Jeter to leave the Yankees. He wants to play his whole career as a New York Yankee, so beating the record that Rose has in place would be very tough. It is fun to talk about and watch, but it looks like Rose's hit record is safe for a number of years.

Tom Brady vs Joe Montana: Patriots Owner Likes Brady Over Montana
Now I will admit Tom Brady has done a lot on the football field as a quarterback, and his owner Robert Craft things he is the best ever. Comparing him to Joe Montana in my opinion is a stretch though. Out of college, no one would have thought that Tom Brady would accomplish all that he has so far in his NFL career. Let's look closer at both quarterbacks and see which quarterback is actually better.
Both quarterbacks have pluses and minuses against them that's for sure. The one area that I think Brady falls short compared to Montana is making the perfect pass when needed. It seemed Joe Montana was always able to put the ball where he needed. Brady at times does have a little difficulty doing this that's for sure. Joe Montana was undefeated in Super Bowls which should tell you how good he was. Brady can never claim that feat.
Both quarterbacks are great, but if the game was on the line I would be choosing Joe Montana over Tom Brady and day of the week. Robert Kraft is partial and Brady is good, but not in the class of Joe Montana.

Roger Clemens Still Mowing Down The Competition At 50
Roger Clemens is a guy you either love or hate and many times I think that is the way he likes it sometimes. Clemens pitched 3 1-3 scoreless innings for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Independent Atlantic League. At age 50 Roger Clemens did look very good. When asked about a major league comeback he said no, but sometimes it makes you wonder. Why would a man come out and pitch for a team like this just for fun?
Scouts from Kansas City and Houston were in attendance to watch Roger Clemens pitch. Clemens said he enjoyed pitching in front of the 7,000 plus fans. In the end, we really have no idea why Roger Clemens is pitching at this level. Maybe it is for the enjoyment and giving back to the fans. I think there happens to be an underlying reason in all of this in the end.
Clemens has always wanted to get to the Baseball Hall Of Fame and he knows right now that is probably not likely. Maybe a year in the Major Leagues again may give some credence to that for him. I guess we will just have to wait and see how this all plays out. We did learn Roger Clemens can still pitch well at the age of 50.

Dwight Howard Needs To Put Clown Act Away For Good In L.A.
Now that Dwight Howard is a Los Angeles Laker he better change a few things or he will quickly find out Los Angeles is not where he wants to be. The clown act that worked in Orlando will not work in L.A. They expect Howard to come in and help them win a NBA Championship. His tired clown act that he used in Orlando will not be accepted by his teammates, fans, or the Lakers front office.
The second thing that Dwight Howard must do is make a commitment to winning in Los Angeles. At times in Orlando Howard he got lazy and stood around and did not come to play. He will not be able to do that in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant will get in his face very quickly if he thinks Dwight Howard is not pulling his weight. Kobe is a guy who wants to win and will not tolerate a player who is there for just fun and games.
Yes, Dwight Howard is very talented, but in Los Angeles it is more then a game and Howard will realize that quickly. If he wants to win an NBA Championship he better change a few things and that means putting the clown act away. If he does that his time in Los Angeles could be real good for him, if not he might find an early ticket out of Los Angeles.

Tim Tebow Makes His Jet's Debut
Tim Tebow was brought to the New York Jets with a lot of fanfare, but in his first pre-season game there was nothing real super about his performance. He did run around a little, and threw one interception on a 5 for 9 night. Tebow is a good scrambler, but you cannot tell much from a pre-season game. Tebow is expected to excite New York and he may before it’s all said and done.
Last night though it was an average performance for a pre-season game. People expect great things from him no matter if it is a pre-season game or regular season. He does put people in the seats and that is a good thing for football. When the season starts though he will be on the bench getting in on special plays designed for him. Tebow may get his chance in New York, but only if the starting quarterback gets hurt. Tebow is still a work in progress and I think the New York Jets understand this when they got him. For his legion of fans they want to see him no matter how good or bad he plays.

Will Kobe And Dwight Howard Co-Exist In L.A.?
Now that Dwight Howard is a Los Angeles Laker can he and Kobe co-exist in L.A. until Kobe retires. Kobe has not exactly had the warmest of relationships with the Big Men in Los Angeles. The story of Shaq and Kobe has been well documented through the years and Kobe and Pau Gasol has not always been on the same page. Will Dwight Howard be another fail relationship with Kobe before he retires from the NBA?
Kobe Bryant is a guy who wants to win NBA Championships and will get a long with Dwight Howard to a certain point. When he see’s Dwight Howard not pulling his weight than there will be a problem. Can they co-exist? The answer is yes, but it will depend on how much each player is willing to do. Kobe expects a lot from his teammates, and will not put up with teammates that slack on the job.
Dwight Howard will have a big impact on if they co-exist in Los Angeles as well. He needs to have his game face on every night. The clown act has to be left behind for television as Kobe wants dedicated serious players on the court. If Dwight Howard wants to clown around look for this relationship to be another rocky one.

Paul Pierce A Little Bitter About Ray Allen's Exit
Paul Pierce has always been a guy that tells you what is on his mind. With Ray Allen leaving you had to wonder how the Celtics star would take it. He admitted on his website he was a little bitter about Allen going to the Heat, but called Allen his brother still. Pierce knows that Ray Allen was a vital cog in the championship that they won together. It will be weird for Allen to be the enemy and Pierce will have some adjusting that's for sure.
Pierce said that Ray Allen did what was best for his family, but it does not mean it did not hurt Pierce a little bit. Pierce, Garnett, and Allen have been through many wars together and losing one of your brothers is tough. Pierce understands it a business and will move on and play basketball. I'm sure when they meet on the court they will get after each other as the competition is something both players love.

Doc Rivers Takes Blame For Ray Allen's Departure From Boston
The departure of Ray Allen from the Boston Celtics to the Miami Heat has been a bitter pill for Celtics fans to swallow, but they will move on. Doc Rivers takes most of the blame for Ray Allen moving to the Miami Heat. The one thing about Doc Rivers he does what is best for the team and Ray Allen really did not like it. Toss in his rocky relationship with Rajon Rondo and Allen is now a Miami Heat player.
Even though Doc Rivers takes most of the blame for Allen leaving the Celtics it is not all his fault. As players get older they do not like to defer or come off the bench. This is something that bugged Ray Allen and he bolted to the Heat. Most likely though he will be coming off the bench for the Heat so his situation has really not changed much at all. It will be interesting to see how Ray Allen handles it as he will get fewer touches than in Boston. Rajon Rondo probably is happy Allen is gone, but only time will tell if Allen made a good move.

Brewers Trade Zack Greinke To Angels For Prospects
Well it looks like the Milwaukee Brewers are giving up on this season with the move of pitcher Zack Greinke. The Brewers trade Greinke to the Angels for three minor league prospects. The three prospects are
rookie shortstop Jean Segura and two Double-A pitchers. The three prospects were some of the better ones in the Angels organization. I do not like the trade for a few reasons as the Brewers should know by now pitching wins championships.
Milwaukee traded Greinke away and that is a shame as he is a very good pitcher. Finding pitchers like Greinke are rare these days, so when you get them you should hold on to them very tight. Yes, Milwaukee got some good prospects for them, but in reality nothing that will help them right away. It looks for the Brewers fans this could be another one of those lost seasons as they struggle to get back into the playoff race.
