I was going to pen (I guess type is the better term here because I haven't put pen to paper since college) yet another take on why the Anquan Boldin situation will distract the Cardinals, who is to blame (obviously Drew Rosenhaus) and how it could possibly send the Cardinals into another disappointing season [...]

At least that's what one video game programmer wants you to believe. It sounds crazy but let me explain. I was sifting through my Google alerts (even they must know it's Friday) as I usually do and was intrigued by a headline "Charles Barkley: Shut Up And Jam Gaiden".

You'd think an athlete eight years removed from his playing days wouldn't be the center of attention.

Paul Daugherty of the Cincinnati Enquirer sure doesn't like Adam Dunn. At least that's the impression you get when you read his article, Dunn too much to afford, today on Cincinnati.com. Daugherty claims that "Dunn's tax bracket didn't match his production", questions Dunn's passion and calls him fat. You have to wonder if Dunn was rude [...]

Adam Dunn in sedona red = Arizona Diamondbacks legitimate World Series contenders. It's that simple. That's right, I said it. With the addition of Adam Dunn the Arizona Diamondbacks are serious World Series contenders.
