It is that time of week to once again bring to you the lastest signings, trades, and quarterback controversies!On with the cleanup...NFL NEWS:* The Miami Dolphins will name Chad Pennington opening day starter at QB* The 49ers will name JT O'Sullivan their starting quarterback* More quarterbacks news!

Well the 2008 Olympics are coming to a close with the closing ceremony today in Beijing. The Olympic committee will hand off the games to the 2012 Home, London and from what I have read Beckham will be in the building! Woo!I must admit that going into the games I was not all that thrilled and excited for the games to begin, I was more occupied with the kickoff of NFL training camps and baseball

Well I figured it has been a little while since I rolled out a Top 10 countdown, so it was time to compose another list for some banter and debate.This time I have decided to take a look at the Top 10 active coaches and managers in the world of sports right now. I must be honest and say I do not know enough NHL coaches to include them in the countdown. This list includes guys from the NBA, NFL,

Not much content to this post, but I thought I would point out that impressive list of starting pitchers who will be taking the hill tonight. Here are some of the studs who will be dazzling tonight:* Cliff Lee (Cle) 17-2 - 2.43 ERA - vs. Kansas City* Roy Halladay (Tor) 14-9 - 2.64 ERA - vs. NY Yankees* John Lackey (LAA) 10-2 - 3.22 ERA - vs. Minnesota* Carlos Zambrano (ChC) 12-5 - 3.38 ERA - vs.

Olympics madness! Have you caught it?I sure did for a little while at least. What Michael Phelps did in the pool was in-humane, actually it was more amphibian like than anything resembling a mammal. The point is, Phelps won 8 Gold Medals, and brought 7 world records while at it! Incredible!The ratings proved how much attention Phelps was receiving and deservedly so. True statement, I was at the

A day late, but not a dollar short! Come one, come all it is time to clean up the mess that the past week has left us!On to the cleanup...NFL NEWS:- The Atlanta Falcons released WR Joe Horn, Horn mentioned he wanted to play in Dallas or Philly- The New England Patriots released 36 year old TE Marcus Pollard- The Bengals have brought back the recently released receiver Chris Henry (who has his

Well since the original weekly column dealing with the mess, there have been a few more notes out there. Let me quickly post those updates:* The Boston Red Sox acquired pitcher Paul Byrd from the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later* Detroit Tigers placed DH Gary Sheffield on waivers* The Detroit Tigers made more news by signing pitcher Freddy Garcia to a minor league deal* The 76ers

Well well well, the Olympics are in full swing and I must admit I went from a "who cares" mentality to a "When is Tyson Gay racing the Jamaicans in the 100 meter race" mindset.Maybe it was the Brett Favre saga that sucked all the media out of the great Summer games or maybe it was because NFL training camp was beginning? The Olympics in my opinion definitely snuck under the radar and have finally

Well it is Monday (as of the start of this post), so it must be time to round up some of the top news and notes items of the past week from a busy time in sports!Let's dive into the headline makers from the past week...NFL NEWS:* Did you hear that Brett Favre was traded to the Jets? A trade that seemed to have gone under the radar... (sarcasm)* As a result of this Favre guy, the Jets cut Chad

I have to say that so far in the year of 2008, I have never seen so many all-star and hall of fame caliber talents traded in one year. The NBA Trade Deadline was one of the most craziest time periods in NBA history. The months of June and July in baseball saw a lot of surprise teams and players make moves. And the NFL saw two of the best players in the league get moved to different

BREAKING NEWS: BRETT FAVRE TRADED TO THE NEW YORK JETS JUST LESS THAN 2 HOURS AGOJay Glazier of foxsports.com broke the story and has the scoop. The deal is believed to be for a draft pick in the 2009 Draft that could escalate up to a 1st Round Pick. This deal will also most certainly mean that Chad Pennington's time with the Jets is done. According to Glazier, both team did in fact confirm the

OK, so I have stalled long enough and avoided the issue and subject for long enough. It is finally time to talk about #4 and Mr. Brett Favre. In a story that seems to take on a new twist and turn every day, it also seems to get more and more annoying every single minute.I have never really been a fan of Brett Favre, mainly because these retirement talks seem to pop up every offseason for the past

One of the great baseball play by play announcers, Skip Caray, who was the announcer for the Atlanta Braves and son of Harry Caray, passed away yesterday. I figured the next installment of the Top 10 should be dedicated to the Top 10 Play by Play announcers on a national level.First let me mention a couple of my favorite play by play announcers in baseball as some Honorable Mentions: Vin Scully (

Just when you thought the Trade Deadline was looking a little slow, BAM! MANRAM! One of my favorite players was moved right at the deadline and is now going Hollywood! Another one of my favorite players was also moved from Ohio to Illinois.Even though the day as a whole did not produce much in the means of quantity, I think you have to look at the whole time period leading up to the Deadline and

On the day of the MLB Trade Deadline, I have to comment on the developments of the recently proposed trade in the NBA. The Houston Rockets will send Bobby Jackson, Donte Greene, and next year's #1 Pick to the Sacramento Kings for Ron Artest.I think this is a tremendous trade for the Rockets because it gives them a dynamic BIG 3 grouping on the roster with McGradey, Yao, & Ron Ron. Not to mention

The squad as of now will include Chris Berman, Mike Ditka, Cris Carter, Tom Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, and Chris Mortenson. You can read the post here.**A

The trade deadline is only 5 days away and a couple more deals have recently gone down. Although nothing as significant as the CC Sabathia or Rich Harden deals, more often than not it is the role player type deals that help certain teams get over the hump.The New York Yankees traded 4 prospects to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Damaso Marte and Xavier Nady. According to the reports and the sources,

Baseball offseason is upon us and about a week ago I took a look at the contender in the CC Sabathia Sweepstakes. Well, we do have a winner and we also have another big name pitcher off the market as well.The Milwaukee Brewers were the winners and the team able to land the reigning AL Cy Young. The Brewers gave up 4 top prospects and it centered around Double-A star Matt LaPorta. I had suggested

Surprises and Mini-Rivalries brewing!!When Baron Davis opted out of his contract with the Warriors, the NBA was stunned and it immediately changed the landscape of the upcoming offseason. Soon there after, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette both opted out from their contracts with the Los Angeles Clippers setting up a decent crop of free agents, while also adding a few players to the list of teams

Well it is July, so that means the baseball rumors start to heat up and everything from borderline bogus to so outrageous it just may work is given some thoughts in hopes and anticipation of improving the ballclub.Every year there seems to be a big name or two who is rumored to go everywhere and anywhere depending on what newspapers and websites you check out from day to day. The big name in

Tim Dierkes, the creator of one of my favorite websites to check routinely http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/, was good enough to answer a few questions for me and your viewing pleasure. Eric: What should the Phillies do with Brett Myers? Should they look bullpen, trade, DFA, or keep him in Lehigh Valley?Tim Dierkes: Keep him in the minors. They are fortunate that he accepted the assignment. With

Another debatable topic and another potential feature on the site, which would take a look at controversial topics from around the world of sports and lay out some of the pros and cons.With Interleague play wrapping up this past weekend and another dominating performance by the American League, is it worth keeping interleague play around?It is interesting to note that the AL went 149-102 against

A Day late, but not a dollar short. I do apologize for the day-delay on the Cleaning up the Mess segment for the week that was. Enough of that, let's clean up the headline grabbers from the past week!(And yes this is the unofficial logo of this specific feature)NFL NEWS:- Pittsburgh Steelers released running back Najeh Davenport- Commish Goodell recently said that rookies are being paid to much!-

Here it is... the day is finally here, the NBA DRAFT! For my money, the NBA Draft is way more exciting than the NFL Draft. The reason being that players drafted into the NBA have the chance to contribute right away and sometimes even help a team turn things around quicker than usual. In the NFL Draft, since it is an 11 man unit on the field it is hard for someone outside of the QB position to

A mere three years ago, the National Basketball Association was considered the hip hop sport where many of its athletes were considered thugs and many people lost interest in the NBA because of its image. Incidents such as the brawl at the palace between the Pacers and the Pistons, the character of Dennis Rodman, continuous rap albums released, and the antics of Allen Iverson helped give birth to

It's time for another installment of Top 10. This time we are breaking down the top 10 names in sports who have yet to reach the top of the mountain ... aka ... winning a ring and the title. After each players name I will give them a percent chance of winning one before they retire. Note: I will include players who have had a substantial amount of years professionally already, so Lebron James,

It's officially baseball season when the trade rumors are swirling and the managers begin to get fired!This week there has been 3 managers fired in the past week from under-achieving teams. June 20 - The Toronto Blue Jays fired manager John Gibbons. Gibbons, who became manager midway through the 2004 season, had a record of 305-305 with the Blue Jays. His best season was in 2006, when the Blue

Congrats to the Boston Celtics for winning the title, and big props go to Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce for getting their rings (and oh yes you too Sam Cassell). But first thing is first, and I must eat some crow.On a post dated 11/01/2007, I wrote the following..."Green Kool*AidDon't Sip the Kool*Aid on the Boston Celtics this year!Before the Celtics tip off their season, I just want

Hank Steinbrenner is like that spoiled kid in your 4th grade class, who likes to brag about what he has and nothing is ever his fault.OK, so let me briefly explain why I feel this way.“My only message is simple,” Steinbrenner said in Tampa, Fla. “The National League needs to join the 21st century. They need to grow up and join the 21st century.”Steinbrenner said he was angry and added: “I’ve got

So apparently, prior to the NBA Finals everybody was ready to put Kobe Bryant and the same dinner table as Michael Jordan in terms of greatest ever in the NBA. People were ready to assume he was going to go into Boston and take the title and let Phil also make claim as the greatest coach of all-time, surpassing Red. Coming off of his MVP season, and relatively easy playoff run to the finals, who

The post titled "cleaning up the mess" will be a new feature on the blog that will basically just recap all the big stories and stories you may has missed over the recent couple days. The post will be similar to a "quick hits" type of segment. I hope you all enjoy!NBA News:- Detroit Pistons have named Michael Curry their new head coach on a 3-year deal- Phoenix Suns introduced former Bucks' coach

Finally, I have comprised part 4 of 4 of the series of top 10 Athletes I would pay to see up close and personal.

LAKERS VS CELTICSSo, I am going to take a break from my 4-part series for a moment to take a look into the NBA Finals which kicks off tonight! As I am sure everyone knows by now, the Finals wil pit the Boston Celtics and the LA Lakers with Boston having the home-court advantage in a 2-3-2 format.After doing some research, it appears a lot of the so-called experts are predicting the Lakers to win

OK, so I had to comment a bit on the Barry/Fisher "foul" because of the latest developments that took place last night. Initially, I was just going to let it go and brush it off as another over-analyzed play in the playoffs, but then I heard the statement..."The league office on Wednesday reviewed the final play of the San Antonio Spurs' 93-91 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the

Tim Dierkes, of http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/, was kind enough to answer a few questions for myself for posting pleasure. So please do indulge and digest...1. Interleague play is about to kick off, what are your overall thoughts of it? What is the best series this weekend?I don't mind it. I think it's more for the kids though. At least, I was much more excited back in '97 when I was 15, seeing

At the instant of writing this, I am losing credibility in my own mind of myself, if that makes sense? The topic of "Spygate" is starting to rival steroids in baseball. Both stories have gone on way to long, both have questioned the integrity of the game, and both will most likely continue on for the foreseeable future.My question: Is this much attention given to "Spygate" annoying or appropriate

Are NBA coaches getting fired to soon? For that matter, are coaches in every sports getting fired to soon? It has become a recent growing trend for many teams. However let's take a look at some of the NBA coaches.So far this offseason, the Bulls, Bobcats, Bucks, Knicks, and Mavericks have all officially been searching for new head coaches.

With the 1st round approaching it's conclusion and half of the series already in the books, I figured it was time to take a look at the NBA.So far we have the Magic, Lakers, Spurs, and Hornets all moving to the 2nd round. The Cavs are up on the Wiz 3-1, Pistons up on Sixers 3-2, Jazz up 3-2 on the Rockets, and the Hawks and Celtics tied up at 2 games apiece.I can't say that I predicted all 4 of

Ok, so the NFL is releasing the schedule today for the 2008 season...big deal? In previous years, No. This year, yes...why? Good question. In the ever growing overexposure of the NFL, ESPN is hosting a TWO HOUR SPECIAL this afternoon to reveal the schedule for every team in the NFL...1 by 1.Personally, I feel it is a bit over the top broadcasting 4 days straight of the combine, but then again it

Let's break out the mop and broom and clean up some of these stories floating around in sports...I'm just saying......Jose Canseco is a RAT...a pile of scum. The fact that he won't release who "Max" is, just means he is holding out for a third book to make more money. He has been right on some people in the Mithcell Report, but so far he has no evidence on A-Rod....A-Rod should just deny, deny,

Due to a Spring Break hiatus and vacay to Acapulco Mexico. I missed out on the opportunity to blog about the 2008 NCAA Tourney! Selection Sunday and the first round of the tourney easily rivals Super Bowl Sunday for me. The reason being, basically because it is one thing that actually lives up to the hype, unlike most Super Bowls. Perhaps advertisers should pay to run their ads during the

There has been a new trend in the NBA over the last few years and it has been the "contract buyout". Let me begin by saying that I have a big gripe with this.When has it become acceptable for a player to demand a buyout so he can go to a different team? When a player is under contract, they should have to fulfill their contract, no matter how crappy a team is!For example, last season Chris Webber

Well well well, I do apologize for the lag in posts, to many things going on right now, but no excuses and play like a champ!Well the NBA Trade Deadline has passed and these past few weeks have been out of control in terms of the caliber of players that are being moved. Let's get a grading on the moves!12/29: Utah traded Gordan Giriceck to Philadelphia for Kyle KorverWell considering the fact

Let's take a quick break from Super Bowl Mania and BOOTGATE to discuss a little baseball with only 3 weeks til pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training.Top 5 Free Agent Signings so far this Winter:1. Alex Rodriguez ~ NY Yankees 10yr/275 Mil2.Andruw Jones ~ LA Dodgers 2yr/36.2 Mil3. Mike Lowell ~ Boston 3yr/37.5 Mil4. Torii Hunter ~ LA Angels 5yr/90 Mil5. Geoff Jenkins ~ Philadelphia 2yr/13

Well here it is, the two weeks of hype leading up to Super Bowl 42 on February 3 in Arizona between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. The Giants defeated the Green Bay Packers in an overtime game in the -4 degree weather in which Brett Favre can be held accountable for the loss. Favre threw an ill-advised pass that was intercepted by Webster and gave the Giants favorable field

NFC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP:NEW YORK GIANTS (12-6) V. GREEN BAY PACKERS (14-3)INITIAL THOUGHT: With the temperature at gametime projecting to be about 0 degrees with a wind chill of -25 degrees, it could be an interesting game to watch and it is the way playoff football should be played.SECOND THOUGHT: With how cold it is going to be, the game should be focused on the running games of Brandon

FEAR THE TURTLE!!Ok, so I had to take a break from the conference championship preview to congratulate the Maryland Terps (my school) on defeating the #1 Undefeated North Carolina Tar Heels AT Chapel Hill. Go figure, a team that loses to Ohio U. and American U. at home can go on the road and beat an unbeaten #1 ranked squad. This definitely gave some hope to the Terps' tournament chances.

AFC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP:SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (13-5) V. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (17-0)INITIAL THOUGHT: With Philip Rivers questionable, Antonio Gates hobble and LT leaving last week's game early this game could get ugly quickly and the Pats could be on their way to another Super Bowl appearance.SECOND THOUGHT: Perhaps if Billy Volek does start and play it could make for one of those historic backup

TERRELL OWENS CRYING!! For everyone out there, especially Eagles, 49ers, and Ravens fans (basically teams T.O. has burned in the past) and basically fans of the NFL, here is an epic video of proportions for you to enjoy. After the Giants did everyone a favor and showed how much of fraud Wade Phillips is. My favorite quote is, "I've always had a great relationship with my quarterback..."

G'day mates:Well Australia has been a ridiculous trip and explaining it wouldn't do it justice. I did however attend a Cricket test match between India and Australia in Sydney. Apparently a feud was developing between the teams over "racial" issues which made the match even more entertaining. The Indian squad was accused of using racial slurs against one of the Aussie players, who ended being one

Mates:I will be taking out for Australia tomorrow until the 17th of January. Not to sure how much I will be able to "chime" im but I hope to give some thoughts on a cricket match or the tennis tourny taking place in Sydney if the opportunity is there.I'm Just saying.......Roger Clemens is a moron for the fact that all he has to do is deny he ever took "PEDs" or claim he only took them to recover

Well the Steak, Crab & Curry show is on Hiatus until the end of February...but I will stick around via blog to give some opinions and thoughts on the sports world...Some quick hits and thoughts:Bill Parcells signs to be the VP of Football Operations of the Dolphins...whatever that means...I give him 3 years MAX before he is gone.Coaches need to learn respect in football.

Well it's been a little while since the last post....but let's jump into some hot stove.*The biggest splash so far in the offseason has been the signing of Torii Hunter to the Angels for about 5 years at 90 mil. The Angels have distanced themselves as the leader in the West with some real protection now for Vladimir Guerrero. Not to mention a rotation of John Lackey, Kelvim Escobar and Jered

So as it goes the Celtics are 5 - 0 and I am pondering the whole "open mouth, insert foot" thing. The Celtics have won by an average of 16.6 points a game, which is RE-DIC-U-LOUS.So as I sit here, I am going to take my first sip of the green kool*aid and will continute to moniter this fascinating team as the NBA season unfolds.3 Teams left without a W on the season...Golden

As it stands the Cowboys are up 38-10 on the Eagles right in the 4th quarter, I am going to have to chip in my 3 cents on the Andy Reid situation."A Montgomery County (Pa.) judge who sentenced two sons of Eagles coach Andy Reid to jail yesterday described the Reid house as a "drug emporium" and directly rebuked both parents, saying, "I have some real difficulty with the structure in which these

Memo to Gilbert Arenas: Sometimes you just need to zip it!Courtesy of Arenas' blog:"On November 2nd, we're going to go into that building, we're opening up Boston. Right now I'm telling the Boston fans: You guys are going to lose. It's not going to be a victory for Boston. You might as well just cheer for me, because Boston isn't winning in Boston for the season opener. I'm sorry." November

With only a few hours left til the Sunday Night matchup of the NFC East rival Eagles and Cowboys, I figured I would chime in a bit on some of the words going back and forth between the teams.First let me start with Donovan McNabb's comments. Mc5 said that anyone thinking about winning the NFC East division title is going to have to go through Philadelphia. According to the Dallas News, Roy

Well the deal is official. Joe Torre has officially signed a contract for 3 years worth about $13 million. Interesting move to say the least. Now obviously this was a shock to no one when Grady Little suddenly resigned, but it will be diferent to see how Torre will fare in a less pressurized situation ( I know its LA, but let's face it, the pressure is nowhere as tough as NY). Joe Torre will try

Don't Sip the Kool*Aid on the Boston Celtics this year!Before the Celtics tip off their season, I just want to put it out there that I am not going to sip on that green kool-aid, celtic flavor. I do not think the Celtics will win the NBA Championship, nor do I think they will win the East. Sure, the Celtics will be a tough team to play against, but they draw similar comparisons to the '03-'04 LA

According to a report on espn.com, Grady Little has resigned as the manager for Los Angeles Dodgers. Little cited "personal reasons" as the reason he left.Are his "personal" reasons any sort of a codename for the beef he had with GM Ned Colleti or is that he "personally" could not keep the veterans from wanting to choke out the rookies during the strecth run of the season?The most likely canidate

The first topic I want to write about has to be what should be known as the "Yankees Saga". Seriosuly, this team has become more of a soap opera than The Days of our Lives. Let's run down what has happened so far after the Yanks once again came up short in the ALDS, even though having the highest payroll in baseball. (By the way, the team with the second highest payroll WON the World Series for

Allow me to open this first post by introducing myself and the purpose of this blog. My name is Eric DeLash and a student at the University of Maryland. I am part of a radio show at UMD titled "The Steak, Crab, & Curry Show" which airs from 5 to 6 pm on Mondays on www.wmucsports.com. Philadelphia Sports are my thing and a mentality of "what have you done for lately?" generally goes along with it.
