Simeon Rice: Gruden is a scumbag
Former Buccaneers defensive end Simeon Rice had some strong words about recently fired coach Jon Gruden. Rice and Gruden were both part of Tampa Bay’s only championship season. Here’s what he said in a Sirius NFL radio interview:
“You get what you deserve,” Rice said. “That’s what Jon said. He got it now. [...]

Somebody wants Kenny Thomas
I never thought I’d see the day, but somebody might be willing to trade for Kenny Thomas, the Kings forward who warms the bench for $9 million a year. The newest rumor is that if the Heat can’t trade Shawn Marion for Jermaine O’Neal, they’d trade him to Sac for Thomas and Brad Miller. Suckers! [...]
From the AP:
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is planning to go toe-to-toe with the country’s biggest fitness club chains, and the founder of 24 Hour Fitness is in its corner.
UFC Gym officials said they are close to breaking ground on the first of five health clubs planned in California, and plan to build more such gyms [...]

My perfect Warriors lineup
Monta Ellis dropped 20 points in his season debut. That’s pretty good. And to top it off, the W’s almost (I know, almost doesn’t mean crap) beat the Cavs in a 106-105 loss.
Can I just say it: Monta, I’ve missed you dude. Makes me think of this commercial he shot, presumably before the moped incident.
Now [...]

The Kings are a joke
Not just any joke, but a running joke in my newsroom. It’s odd because people still challenge their ineptness.
The other day, the Warriors beat the Wizards 119-98 on Monday. In response, my boss says he think the Kings, who played the Wizards Wednesday, will beat Washington as well.
Maybe you’re not catching the drift, so I’ll [...]

Super baby on its way
The WNBA’s Candace Parker is expecting a baby! I know I’m excited! Apparently, her husband is the Sacramento Kings’ Shelden Williams. Yes, it’s another attempt at a sports super baby. It’s a fascinating scientific experiment, one step below cloning.
How great of a basketball player will this baby be? Better than my clumsy baby, that’s for [...]

MLB owners ask for salary cap
I’ve longed for the day when the Yankees won’t be able to spend more money on one player than the small market baseball teams spend on an entire roster. I’m a fan of the salary cap. Up until today, I never heard much demand for it. The Associated Press is reporting that some owners [...]
Hold your horses Giants fans. The jury is still out on whether picking up the Big Unit is worth the risk.
What made the Giants so confident in him, that they rolled the dice on a 21-year veteran? What says he doesn’t break down? Yeah, it’s a one-year contract, but does that guarantee 30 starts? Ten [...]

Cowboys fan points gun at Irvin
As former Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin pulled up to a red light in Dallas on Monday, a passenger in the car next to him rolled down his window. Irvin did the same, thinking maybe the guy had something to say, and that’s when Irvin’s greatness may have saved his life.
“The passenger pulled out a semiautomatic [...]
