Unpleasantness mars Hawks v. Heat Game 5: The Hawks’ Josh Smith knocks down Dwyane Wade, who strikes his head on the floor. Wade leaves the game for a time, and upon returning, is too groggy to play effectively. He is, however, not too groggy to nearly get in a fight with Solomon Jones after a [...]

Shady Shines in the Spotlight
Written by Scott Tunstall | April 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)
Eagles Nation is abuzz over the newest running back in town, LeSean “Shady” McCoy. There hasn’t been this much excitement over a back since Ricky Watters’ arrival back in 1995. I say Watters, because Brian Westbrook was a largely unknown prospect from Villanova when he was drafted back in 2002. He didn’t showcase all his [...]
Red Rocker : Corrie
Written by Phil | April 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Capitals Outsider (Capitals)
Prior to Tuesday’s big win against New York, I had the occasion to meet Corrie, one of the Red Rockers, as she prepared for the pre-game introductions. Since she is the first I have had an opportunity to meet, she is also the first that I will feature here on Capitals Outsider. The Red Rockers [...]

Usain Bolt Should Stick to Running
Written by Dan Zinski | April 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'
Usain Bolt is the fastest man on two legs, and evidently, he also thinks he is the fastest man on four wheels. Unfortunately, when one drives fast on four wheels, one sometimes loses control of one’s vehicle – especially if the road one is driving on has been rained on recently – and crashes. And [...]
Risking Injury for Science Video: Padraig Harrington Proves Happy Gilmore No Fool
Written by Dan Zinski | April 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'
The Sport Science show is awesome. A little while ago it featured Ray Lewis proving he could bust a door better than a police battering ram, and now it’s shown us, with some help from 2008 PGA Player of the Year Padraig Harrington, that Happy Gilmore’s run-up driving style actually does give you more length [...]

I know you probably aren’t surprised by this, but the crack team in the Steelers scouting office is at it again. He found the camp arm in Mike Reilly, but wait, this might be a little more than we think. Escapability of Ben? Check out this video as DII Central Washington takes on DI Montana. [...]

Max Unger: A Eugene (Oregon) Perspective
Written by Shaun Dolence | April 30, 2009 | Comments Off | 12th Man Rising (Seahawks)
Shortly after the 2009 NFL Draft concluded, I looked at the seven players selected by Seattle. I was fairly optimistic about our performance over the weekend; everything I’d read about the players we drafted looked positive, and they all seem like they’ll be good players in the NFL.
There was a problem, however.
Prior to researching for [...]
Minneapolis-to-Hattiesburg Flight Sets Off More Brett Favre Hysteria
Written by Dan Zinski | April 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
It took about 24 hours to go from Brett Favre being released to full-on Favre-to-Vikings speculation hysteria, complete with items like this gem from Florio:
It probably means nothing.
But, let’s face it, Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport is hardly a major hub of transportation.
Only five flights arrived there today, and only six departed.
One of the arrivals came from [...]
Ron Artest Calls Brandon Roy, Not Kobe, “The Best”
Written by kareemabduladam | April 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Lake Show Life (Lakers)
Tonight during an Inside the NBA TNT interview with Craig “Is He Really Wearing That?” Sager, Ron Artest made one of the most outlandish statements I’ve heard come out of even his mouth. Artest said Brandon Roy was “the best” player he has ever played against. When Sager specifically reminded Ron-Ron about two guys named [...]

Jazz-Lakers Series Recap: Ariza, Brown, Odom Shine
Written by kareemabduladam | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Lake Show Life (Lakers)
The “Prop 8 Series” is over. I predicted a sweep, which was one Deron Williams running, sideways jumper with only second remaining away from happening. But the Lakers didn’t sweep the Jazz. Why? Two reasons: A.) Because the Lakers were bored and overconfident; B.) Jerry Sloan’s Jazz have a lot of fight in them. I [...]
Cards Win Series, Lose Shortstops
Written by mikewest | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Redbird Rants (Cardinals)
The Cardinals traveled to Atlanta this week after winning five of their last six, hoping to stay atop the National League standings. Heading in, the club was 13-6, and led the league in several pitching and offensive categories.
Although the Cardinals defense has been suspect, leading the NL with 21 errors on the young season, one [...]
