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.
