The Colts, Giants, Saints and Patriots look elite. The Raiders, Rams, Chiefs, Browns and Bucs look like garbage. By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.com How I saw Week 4 of the NFL: The NFL is one-fourth over, so the season is starting to take shape. Here is how I see it shaking out so far: Top-tier teams: Indianapolis, […]

Members of the New York Rangers presented the “Top 10 Things Never Spoken Before by a Hockey Player.” They also carried Madonna into the studio on their shoulders. “Have you ever ridden hockey players before?” Letterman asked later.

Eric Decker is a 6-3, 220-pound wide receiver for the University of Minnesota. A pro-caliber prospect, Decker is one of the best wideouts in the country. And one of the hottest. You can watch Decker play the next two Saturdays — Oct. 3 on ESPN vs. Wisconsin and Oct. 10 vs. Purdue on ESPN2; both […]

Unfortunately for people who enjoy comedy and have a good sense of humor, Jimmy Fallon hosts the Late Night show on NBC. Yesterday he decided to go after the Gay Games’ choice of Cleveland to host the 2014 Games: It was announced yesterday that Cleveland, Ohio, will host the 2014 Gay Games. That's weird, I […]

New Orleans Saint Scott Fujita has come out publicly in full support of same-sex marriage. On Tuesday, the NFL linebacker reacted to Brendan Ayanbadejo’s column in support of same-sex marriage and saying in a couple decades it won’t be an issue anymore: I hope he's right in his prediction, and I hope even more that […]

Sorry, Charlie. Don't be wack, Shaq. The NBA has instituted a new policy on the use of Twitter and other social media sites on game days. It applies to coaches, players and "other team basketball operations personnel," and states that cell phones and other such devices cannot be used from 45 minutes before game time […]

Speaking of fortune-telling, I was thinking today about the drafting of one Brady Quinn. If you remember, the Cleveland Browns chased him down late in the first round of the 2007 draft, giving up a first- and second-round pick for him. The reasoning was, “We’ll have to draft a quarterback next year anyway, so let’s […]

Mike Blowers is an analyst for the Seattle Mariners baseball broadcasts. Each game he picks who he thinks will be the player of the game. Sunday, he highlighted little-known Matt Tuiasosopo, predicting he would hit his first Major League home run. Into left-center field. Into the second deck. On his second at-bat. On a 3-1 […]

Figure skating diva Johnny Weir wowed the audience at the annual Stars, Stripes and Skates benefit in Danbury, Conn., over the weekend, skating publicly to his new 2010 Olympic short program for the first time ever. From the Danbury News-Times: “I always feel prepared for an event,” Weir, 25, said describing his thoughts on competing […]

A Chattanooga, Tenn., area cheerleading team has been ordered to stop printing Bible verses and religious messages on banners at school football games. Since 2003, the Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School team has displayed messages like “Commit to the Lord” and the banner to the right featuring a passage from the Book of Phillippians in the […]

As usual, the National Hockey League has its problems. The Phoenix Coyotes are bankrupt and a judge is trying to sort out a mess in which the league is trying to stop the only bidder willing to buy the team, because he wants to move it to Hamilton, Ontario. All of this led to the […]

Imagine Shaq raising another team’s basket two inches. Serena Williams somehow repainting the lines on her side so her opponent had a smaller area to hit to. An umpire shrinking and expanding the strike zone depending on which team is at bat. That’s what Danish goalkeeper Kim Christensen did in a recent match for his […]

Steelers, Cardinals a combined 2-4, Titans 0-3. Favre, Seahawks uniforms turn stomach. By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.com How I saw Week 3 of the NFL: That was then …: Eight months ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals were on top of the football world, playing in a pulsating Super Bowl. Now, three weeks into the season […]

The PGA has to be loving the photo op the Tour Championship bore: Phil MIckelson and Tiger Woods both holding trophies for the same event. Mickelson came from behind to win the Tour Championship, while Woods’ second-place finish earned him the points to win his second FedEx Cup (he also won in 2007). Mickelson finished […]

The herd got culled this weekend at the top of the college football standings. No. 4 Mississippi, No. 5 Penn State, No. 6 Cal and No. 9 Miami all lost. This means new life for one-loss teams like Virginia Tech and USC, but the reality is that Texas and either LSU, Florida or Alabama from […]

Last year I picked NFL games against the spread on the Michael Irvin Show on ESPN Radio. This year, I'm going up against Michael, former Cowboy Nate Newton and Michael's co-host and dear friend of mine, Kevin Kiley. We'll be picking around 10 games per week, and I already have the lead after two weeks. […]

I am a religious listener to the Fantasy Focus Football podcast on ESPN starring Nate Ravitz and the “Talented Mr. Roto” Matthew Berry. I also read Berry’s columns religiously: Though I think 90% of what he says is mundane and 30% is just bullshit, he does have a lot of little nuggets of information that […]

I guess this is progress of sorts. On the TV show “Glee,” the local high school football teams breaks into a rendition of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” to distract their opponent. One quibble: They did not take a timeout prior, so there should have been a delay of game penalty. Video: I guess this is progress […]

The story in the 9/23 Orange County Register gives all the sad details. 1988 Olympic gold medalist in basketball Cindy Brown is losing the home that she owned since 1989. This after a bitter battle with the city of Villa Park over her dying landscaping — she lost all her money in an investment scam […]
