When Aaron Hernandez's family found out that he had been indicted for murder, they were distraught. However, they were not nearly as distraught as the millions of Caped Crusader fans who just found out that Ben Affleck will be their new Batman.

Aaron Hernandez Indicted For Murder
Iverson Retires . . . Wait, Didn't That Already Happen?
Allen Iverson is officially retiring from the NBA which means its time to play . . .
Things The Rest Of Us Knew That Allen Iverson Didn't! Choose the correct answer!
A) PRACTICE makes perfect.
B) Being able to live comfortably after sports is more important than having a 40-person entourage.
C) Iverson stopped playing in 2010 . . . Which means he's been retired for a while now whether he likes it or not.
D) All of the above.
If you said "D" you just won a high five, a smile, and a butt pat from yours truly . . . Butt pat optional.

Vick Named Eagles Starting QB . . . Duh!!
All eyes are on Michael Vick . . . Again. It comes as no surprise to me that Chip Kelly gave Vick the nod as the Eagles starting QB for the season. Would I let him dog sit for me? Hell no. Would I like to watch him play football? Absolutely. Did I want to have Mike Tyson over to dinner after he bit off Evander's ear? Not really. But he was exciting- just like Mike Vick. Vick is still a great player and deserves his starting job. Which is something that we can't say for A-Rod.

Did A-Rod Throw His Own Teammate Under The Biogenesis Bus?
A report by "60 Minutes" on the Biogenesis scandal says that A-Rod 's camp leaked the names of Ryan Braun and Francisco Cervelli, who just happens to be Alex's teammate. A-Rod says its not true. At this point, I wouldn't believe Alex Rodriguez if he told me that 2 + 2 = 4. Would you?

Let Pete Rose in The MLB Hall of Fame Already!!
Pete Rose said that he should have taken up drinking, or drugs, or wife beating because if he had, he'd still be eligible for the MLB Hall of Fame. Crass? A bit . . . But about as true and real as it gets. In my opinion, using PEDs like steroids and HGH is worse than gambling. PEDs get you a 50 game suspension (longer in A-Rod's case), but Rose was banned for LIFE. He is the all time hits leader and deserves to be in Cooperstown. Tell us what you think . . .
Klitschko vs Povetkin. Finally, a boxing match to get excited about!!
The younger of the two Klitschko brothers (Wladimir), aka "Dr. Steelhammer" (badass nickname), will be defending his multiple heavyweight belts against undefeated Russian boxer Alexander Povetkin this October. Why am I talking about boxing? Because its the first time that a match I actually care about seeing has been made in the last decade. Pacquiao vs Mayweather will probably never happen. Dumb. So unless Hayden Pantera (incorrect, but better) injures the "Ukrainian Sensation" (my nickname for Klitschko) during bedroom gymnastics, we should be in for a damn good boxing match. What a concept!!

Mike Trout Says PED Users Should Get Lifetime Ban from MLB
During a radio interview for New York's WFAN, all-natural Angels slugger Mike Trout said that players caught using PEDs should be banned for life. Do you agree with him? And A-Rod, all-natural means that he doesn't inject himself with stuff.

UFC's Silva To Bring In Norris & Seagal For Next Camp
UFC legend and former champ Anderson Silva wants to bring in Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal to help him prepare for his title rematch against Chris Weidman. If Silva's goal is to learn how to pretend fight, I'm pretty sure he already mastered that art in his first bout with Weidman.

Did Manziel Take Cash For Autographs?
ESPN did a story on Outside The Lines in which it seems that Texas A&M's Heisman winner Johnny Manziel took money from autograph brokers. Manziel was captured on video saying things such as, "you never did a signing with me" and a broker can be heard asking if he would take "additional cash for special inscriptions." The word additional, as we all know, implies that there had to be some money on the table to begin with. The NCAA is currently investigating the quarterback's shenanigans. Here's my question for you, Johnny Football- Do you think you're above the law? Well, I have a news flash for you, Walter Cronkite . . . You aren't. There is only one man who is above the law and that is Steven Seagal . . . Skinny Steven Seagal, not fat Steven Seagal. Fat Steven Seagal would be too easy to catch.

Will A-Rod's 211 Game Suspension Hurt His Chances For The Hall of Fame?
A-Rod was suspended for 211 games. Mmm hmm. Will this suspension hurt his chances of making it into Cooperstown? Even in the steroid era, I say it does hurt his chances . . . and I believe in the asterisk. Go to www.sportslam.net and tell me what you think if you're not already there.

Alabama State Champion Coach Fired For Going To The Wrong Church
Scott Phillips lead his East Memorial Christian Academy boys to an Alabama state championship in basketball, the school's first state title in any sport, and lead them to the playoffs on the football field. But that was not enough for East Memorial officials who expected Phillips to switch churches once he became the school's Athletic Director. Phillips didn't like the idea of switching to East Memorial Baptist Church because he was loyal to another church. Sound reasonable? To me and you, yes. To East Memorial officials, no. They fired Phillips and became an example of what I believe a cult is. In a cult, you have to buy in all the way or you're shunned . . . Don't ask me how I know that. Take Scientology for example- those people are nuttier than Amanda Bynes- they want commitment to the level that you will shun your family if they don't share your beliefs. So Congratulations, East Memorial officials- you taught your kids the wrong message about loyalty today. And somewhere Tom Cruise is jumping up and down on a couch.
