Thought #1
Does any one care about doping in the NFL? Some would say no, others would say maybe a little. Let's be honest with all the PEDs, hCGs, and other random acronym tagged drugs out there, it gets pretty confusing as to what does what and why it really ...

As I listen to this Tiger Woods press conference I see a guythat has a two ton gorilla off of his back. He is looking reporters square inthe eye, addressing them by name and confessing his sins. This appears to be the same Tiger Woods thattook the golf world by storm at the beginning of his career. No matter whathappens to him now he is simply Tiger W...

 As a kid growing up in the '70s and '80s, I was a huge baseball fan. Back then, baseball was a sport that wasn't dominated by any single aspect of the game. Teams won games with dominant pitching, defense, the running game, the occasional 3-run homer, or a combination of all of these.
Players like Pete Rose, Fred Lynn, Rickey Henderson, and George Brett put every fundamental on display ...

 Thought #1 - Mark McGwire did roids? What?!?!? The Big Mac was juicing? Yeah and in other breaking news, ice is cold, pancakes are better with bananas, and people who have more than 3 cats living in their house are creepy.

 It is an absolute shame that an athlete had to enduresomething like this. My question is where were the women in that room when this issue was being discussed? No one had the common sense to realize this was a very personal issuewhen the gender questioning started? Men can be unaware of such issues but I believe any woman in that room should have acted to protect this young lady.
Can you imagine y...

 Please forgive me if this is incorrect but it has been many years since I've attempted French. À coeur vaillant rien d'impossible - means nothing is impossible for the willing heart. Could it be that after so many years of denial and accusations by his detractors, namely the French, that Lance Armstrong is really that good and they are really that bad?
Could it be that Lance can take ...
