 Thought #1
With it being April Fool's day every story that comes up has to be viewed with a little skepticism. That's the first thought that comes to mind when you hear that Lebron James is considering sitting out this summer's World Championships in order to shot a movie. You think, no way is dude going to give up the world stage to go star in some soon to be on TNT flick.
Turns out it's true....

 Today is April fool's day. If anyone out there isn't familiar with that unofficial and ridiculous holiday, let me explain. It is a day to play practical jokes on the gullible people you encounter throughout your day. This is a day that will undoubtedly release so many off the wall stories.
I would revert back to an old saying: 'Believe half of what you read and none of what you see". I, however, ...

 You know what's worse than spring training: preseason football. I forgot to mention this in my first post: I will rant against the preseason.
I'm nota season ticket holder, so I'm not even talking about blatantly rippingoff people for games that are 100 times less important. No, my problemcomes when statements like this, "Devin is more of a go-get-it guy;he's not really a jump-up-and-get-it (guy)...

 Last season, the Yankees and Mets went in different directions. The Yankees had everything fall their way and stayed healthy in route to a World Series championship. The Mets had a ton of injuries in route to a disappointing and disastrous play. Could it really be happening yet again?
Well, if the recent events are any indication, Yes! Mets fans once again seem on a path to disappointment. We alr...

Have you ever gone through a break up with a girl and then had that awkward post breakup run in with her a month or so later? You've spent the last month sitting around you're apartment in the dark, constantly checking your messages, and living off summer sausage, ala Swingers, and when you finally go out there you run into her and her new dude. The conversation bounces around how thi...

 Before you saying anything, I get it, a good chunk of these guys haven't been in their prime since the 90's. In the case of Dolph Lungren, its more like the 80's if you could even say he had much of a prime. Nevertheless, Sylvester Stallone has managed to bring together a cast of men with enough muscle to bench press a mountain. I was excited when I first talked about this movie ...

 It looks like dude is headed to the Minors to start the year. This is because of his recent back spasms, and not because he did not earn the fifth starters job. That job will still go to an unproven rookie, and if either Travis Wood or Mike Leake (whichever rookie gets the nod) falters look for Chapman to show up ASAP. Had he not had the back spasms and missed some work, he would...

 As mentioned yesterday on The Back Porch, the Raiders were reportedly the "front runner" for acquiring Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.
However, today it has been reported by TMZ that McNabb does not want to play for the Oakland Raiders. Not much for breaking news here, because really, what NFL player actually wants to play for the Raiders??
McNabb doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contr...
