Only now, after two investigations, a Congressional inquiry, TV appearances by an accomplice, and a $500,000 fine, did Belichick say those words. "I was wrong." Why now? Why not then? And who put the gun to his head to make him say it? He admits he was wrong while at the same time denying he ever knew the guy who mad ... more

Say it aint so, Joe. Don't fire the bum, Steinbrenner! Unfortunately for Yankees fans, the new Joe is Girardi, and the new Steinbrenner is Hank. All of that adds up to a Yankees team in last place in the AL East, and they don't look like they'll rise from the dead this time around. Building a dominant contender in b ... more

It's time for the criminals to pay the piper. We all know Indiana is going to get slapped down for their arrogance. They've dared to tell the NCAA that they've punished themselves enough. I'm interested to see how that little act plays out. Some of the other names on the NCAA's list will raise an eyebrow or two. I so ... more

When he's not hitting game winners, he's making game winning blocks. Tayshaun Prince rarely leads his team in scoring, rebounding, or assists. Although he is capable of doing all three. What he does lead them in is heady play. Prince reminds me of Robert Horry, except Horry's end of game antics were strictly on the ... more

If the Celtics hope to win an NBA Title this year, they're going to have to win on the road. Otherwise, going to Game 7 every round will eventually wear them down. They looked like a tired team at the end of a defensive battle last night. Their biggest problem is lack of post play, and the inability to get the ball ... more

Was anyone shocked to learn USC's O.J. Mayo allegedly received impermissible gifts? The NCAA and its rules. Always a laughingstock. One embarrassment after another. Last week it was the Tennessee basketball program proving that the football coach has a better system in place to evade detection. This week, it's O.J. M ... more

If the Celtics hope to win an NBA Championship they are going to have to start playing to their strengths, not their weaknesses, especially on the road. They have already played a lot of games, and that will take a toll on their older stars as they plow deeper into the playoffs. It doesn't pay for Boston, having Rondo t ... more

It was weird watching a team that was undefeated in the playoffs execute so poorly down the stretch. It seemed like the Lakers were totally out of synch. Kobe Bryant turnovers, poor ball handling, and bad shot selection ruled the day in the final few minutes of the game. It was up for grabs, as most NBA games are a ... more

Former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh turned his tapes over to the NFL today. Senator Arlen Specter is chomping at the bit to get his hands on these tapes and see for himself what transpired. The NFL wants this story to go away. It has dragged on for over a year. They destroyed the previously confiscated evidence a ... more

... the song remains the same. Back in the 1980's, it was Prop-48 this, Prop-48 that. John Thompson walked off the court in protest. But the standard went in, and athletes were held accountable for their academic progress. Now, in this new age of college sports, the NCAA has finally found a way to exert some power ... more

This is yet another angle that won't get coverage on ESPN. It may turn up on talk radio. But you won't hear any ESPN bought and paid for reporters talking about it. Kobe Bryant is the NBA's MVP. But there is still that Colorado story... What an ugly day for the NBA, to have such a scandal-ridden player named its Most ... more
