Comments from a Michael Vick and Starbury admirer
2007-08-23 17:18:00
I kinda had to censor it....James says..."Marbury is f****** ridiculous. I'm not trying to sound racist here, but I mean I'm just so sick of these famous black athletes and members of the f****** NAACP coming out and supporting Vick just because he is a black man in trouble. I would love to ask these people if they would have the same love and respect for Jerry Seinfeld if he had been accused of dogfighting. I bet they would support him too, after all, its the dogfighting these f****** ignorant a**h**** love right? Not the black man doing it. May Vick rot in a f****** jail cell, and if the NFL ever allows this man back, then they are just as f******* stupid. "Whoa buddy... Someone sounds very passionate about this topic and it's not surprising because most people do have intense feelings about this issue. I may not be as intense as James here, but I do have to somewhat agree with him. No one should really support Michael Vick as this point in time other than maybe his family. Peo ...

Starbury thinks dog fighting is a sport
2007-08-23 01:48:00
The NBA's Stephon Marbury supports Michael Vick and dog fighting because ya know "all 'roun' tha world peapa stil' support Mike Vick," ya know what I'm saying?(Fox Sports) - Embattled Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick has a friend — and fellow doggie dis-respecter — in Stephon Marbury."I think we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals," the Knick point guard told Capital News 9, an Albany TV station. "You know, from what I understand, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors."Hahahahhahahha..... Starbury... WTF? This is coming from a dude who also thinks that he is the best and most talented point guard in the NBA. This is just too funny and ironic. Starbury could possibly be the most ignorant, arrogant, non-talented jew-tool in history. Dog fighting is a sport... WHAT?!?!?!?!... JUST SHUT UP!anschad@gmail.com ...

Bettis said he faked injury to keep Steelers from cutting him
2007-08-22 23:15:00
(AP) - Jerome Bettis, the No. 5 rusher in NFL history, claims in a new book that he faked a knee injury during training camp in 2000 so the Pittsburgh Steelers wouldn't cut him and install Richard Huntley as the starter.Bettis was worried offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride favored Huntley over him and the Steelers were ready to let Bettis go, partly so they wouldn't have to give him a new contract. Huntley had just signed a $4 million, three-year contract. "Man, did I do a nice job of acting," Bettis wrote in the book, "The Bus: My Life in and Out of a Helmet." "The thing is, I wasn't faking that I had an injury. I was just faking that the injury happened on that short-yardage play. I had to fool the coaches and the team's medical department into thinking the injury had occurred on that play. Otherwise, the Steelers would have had their reason to cut me and my salary." Swweeet... Jerome Bettis is the man, and a large one at that. Also, I am not positive about this, but I believe ...

"World Cup looks good for Africa, apart from on the pitch"
2007-08-21 00:39:00
LONDON (Reuters) - Everything is on course for a wonderful first World Cup in Africa, apart from on the pitch where the continent's teams continue to struggle at the top level, the local head of the 2010 tournament said.Danny Jordaan, chief of the South African event's organizing committee, said stadium development was on schedule, sponsorship and TV rights income was already guaranteed to surpass that of 2006 and tourism in the country continued to grow despite one of the world's highest crime rates."Yes we have crime, there are challenges, but our ability to safeguard all of our visitors coming to our major events has been tested over last 13 years and there has not been a single incident and tourist figures have grown every year." Jordaan said the 2010 tournament had already secured $3.2 million worth of sponsorship, compared to the $2.8 million for the 2006 event in Germany, while the TV rights had surpassed the $1 billion of last year's tournament.South Africa, struggling inte ...

Materazzi discloses his World Cup insult
2007-08-19 17:08:00
MILAN, Italy (AP) -- Italy defender Marco Materazzi finally disclosed what he said to Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup final that provoked the French star to retaliate with a head-butt. "I prefer the whore that is your sister," Materazzi wrote in his yet-to-be-released autobiography, according to Italian news reports Saturday.Materazzi, who received a two-game ban for incitement, has since apologized to Zidane. France coach Raymond Domenech this month lauded Materazzi's strategy for getting Zidane out of the game. "I say 'bravo' to him," the coach said. (good job coach... you better be being sarcastic).Let me just close in saying that Zidane is probably my favorite footballer of all time and the incident at the 2006 World Cup final against Italy in no way tarnishes his incredible legacy. He was indeed one of the all time greats and is truly "The Wizard".anschad@gmail.com ...

Now Ronaldo whines about himself
2007-08-18 11:48:00
Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't think he should have received a red card for his apparent violent actions on the pitch last week against Pompey. "Sir Alex Ferguson was quick to condemn any reaction from his players, Ronaldo refused to accept that the red card he was given was justified." According to Ronaldo, "The replays show there was nothing, but I don't need to look at the pictures, because I know exactly what I did - and that's nothing to justify a red card. I was pushed in the area. He came straight to me, put his hand on my neck and I opened my arms in a 'that's enough' way. We pushed each other but nothing serious. We leaned heads against each other but that was all. Absolutely nothing else happened. When I saw the red card, I couldn't believe it, the situation was so surreal. And it's absurd because I'm aware that now I'll sit out a ban for something I didn't do. I feel dejected and very sad."AWWWWWW, such a sad Ronaldo. However, after Ronaldo "protested his innoce ...

Fergie the Vampire Whines about Ronaldo
2007-08-17 07:25:00
Here is what Sir Alex Ferguson (a.k.a. the red devil vampire) said...'My fear is, and I don't whether there is a directive, but maybe referees are a bit more tolerant of the physical contact''I've noticed this in the last few months -- late challenges are going unpunished. I thought these things were black and white. Late challenges are not allowed.'We saw it again on Wednesday night, the referee letting it go unpunished time and time again. If you have got weak referees then you are going to be suffering.''There is a concern players like Ronaldo are going to be the victims... because it will end up with someone getting a serious injury.''It's very difficult to completely punish Ronaldo or be angry with him,' Ferguson said. 'Some of the things that are happening to him are not right.' 'We are dropping points and that's frustrating because the performance levels were very good.' 'The important thing is just to be patient now.'The players will come right. It's frustra ...
