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.

Rich Fronig wins 3rd consecutive Crossfit Games Title


Rich Fronig just won his 3rd straight Crossfit Games Championship.  Not familiar with Fronig or the Crossfit Games?  Mmm, you will be (said in a Yoda voice).  The Crossfit Games combines the strength of a power lifter, the endurance of a marathon runner, and the agility and athleticism of a gymnast.  So that makes Fronig the world's best athlete, right?  Maybe.  If you watch a Crossfit Games broadcast on ESPN, thoughts such as "Are these people being punished for something?" or "Does the winner get to live?" or "Please help them- that looks like it hurts" will cross (no pun) your mind.  There is one word to describe these competitors- machines.  So that makes Rich Fronig the Terminator, right?  Possibly.  So then what would you call Rich?  For now, let's just go with all around badass.

Titans Rookie Saves Family From Burning Car


Former Clemson Tiger and current Tennessee Titan Jonathan Willard rescued a family from a burning car on his way to Titans' training camp.  Obviously, this will not be a slam on him.  Good job, sir.  May goodwill find you for the rest of your days.  HOWEVER, to the mom that was driving this vehicle down the road while it was already on fire or at least smoking heavily, you had 3 kids and a dog counting on you to deliver them safely to their destination.  You are proof that people should have to get a license to become a parent.
