Thursday Night Football Oakland Raiders vs. San Diego Chargers
The San Diego Chargers haven’t had a losing season in five years. It’s
been just as long since their last loss to the Oakland Raiders.
Possibly the most disappointing team of this NFL season wants to make
sure neither of those streaks end Thursday night, with the Chargers
hosting the Raiders and looking to avoid putting their slim playoff
hopes at risk this weekend...more
NFL
Suspends 6 For Violating Substance Policy Six players, including the heart of the Minnesota Vikings'
stout defensive line, were suspended for four games without pay by the
NFL on Tuesday for violating the league's anti-doping policy.
All six were punished for using a diuretic, which can serve as a masking
agent for steroids.
The suspended players were running back Deuce McAllister and defensive
linemen Charles Grant and Will Smith of New Orleans; defensive linemen
Kevin and Pat Williams of Minnesota; and long snapper Bryan Pittman of
Houston

Melrose Place Replaced, Devil’s Dilemma, Injuries, Rumors etc. If you
recall, the Tampa Bay Lightning were the most active team in the
off-season. It was no secret that new owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie
would be active in free agency; they said so during their introduction to
the Tampa Bay media in June.
Being
extremely active in free agency wasn’t something that Tampa Bay had done in the
past as prior ownership put a lock on spending. Being active via trades was
mostly done at the trade deadline for help at a post-season run or shedding
salary as in last year’s case of the Brad Richards trade to Dallas....

MLB Insider: Bad Timing = Bad Weather = World Series Flop… Free Agency
On
Wednesday night, October 28th at 9:58 p.m. the World Series came
to an end when Philly closer Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske. For the
Phillies, the win gave them their first World Series win in 28-years and for
the Tampa Bay Rays it ended a magical season of firsts for the once doormats
of baseball.
No doubt, had Mother Nature not played havoc during this World Series it
could have been one of the most exciting series ever played. The series did
get off to a great start and it was certainly poised to build momentum as
the Tampa Bay Rays quickly evened the series in St. Petersburg before
heading up to Philadelphia for Games 3-4- and 5...

The 19th Hole: An Inspired
Performance
Jim Furyk carries himself with a quiet
intensity. He is a driven, consistent,
excellent player who has proven his
meddle over the course of his career.
When he clinched the Ryder Cup for the
United States on Sunday, though, Furyk
became emotionally effusive. In
speaking with NBC Sports about what it
meant to be the man to clinch the first
USA victory in nine years and three
tries, Furyk choked up with tears. He
said that he knew he would even after
having several minutes to celebrate and
appreciate the moment with his team and
the fans. After having been pasted in
each of the last three cups – and being
in the losing match in 2002 – Furyk was
overwhelmed to regain the Ryder Cup....

Speaking
of Sports
By: Ted Fleming
Speaking of Sports: TRS: The Real
Story Behind the Garza-Navarro Meeting The Tampa Bay Sports Net has in its possession the
conversations between Rays’ pitcher Matt Garza and catcher Dioner Navarro on
the mound, when Garza got a close-up look at what Navarro wears on his face,
in the dugout when they met again and in the runway leading to the visitor’s
clubhouse.
Without anyone’s knowledge, a
miniature microphone was cleverly embedded in the catcher's mask padding and
every word was heard across the Gulf of Mexico (when you are in an area
loaded with 1,000-5,000 watt radio stations, you know you can hear them
further out in the water to the west than you do over land to the east).
So without further adieu, TBSN brings
you the complete blow-by-blow from start to finish.

Thinking Out Loud: Going To Hell In
a Handbasket Almost a month ago I penned a piece about the entertainment at Tropicana
Field – (Rays Missing a Beat on In-house Fun) - and how the departure of
John Franzone, a.k.a John the Maestro, has left a huge void inside the
stadium.
Having been inside the House of the Tilted Roof this entire homestand, there
has been something else that has been gnawing at me but I just couldn't put
my finger on it until Sunday's homestand finale with the White Sox....

England captain Kevin Pietersen believes it is important England return to India for their rescheduled two-Test series as a show of support following the terror attacks in Mumbai.
Ben Gordon continues to be lost in limbo as training
camp approaches. The Bulls will likely sign him to a one year tender offer
but he doesn’t want to sign with them and would like to be traded to a team
like the Heat. There have been discussions but if that leads anywhere is up
to the Heat/Bulls to decide.
As mentioned last week in this article, the free
agents that are getting signed right now are the guys that are restricted
free agents that would fit best with the team they have been with. ...

NBA Age Limit - A Blessing in
Disguise
The 2007 NBA draft class was the most hyped and highly covered
of any draft class in the last five years and maybe even this
decade - and 9 of the 10 first picks were still teenagers.
Something very profound has occurred in the NBA in the past two
years due in large part to the new rule that disallows any high
school student from entering the NBA draft until they are 19
years old...more

FemmeFan Weekly: Sports and Obama
By: Blythe Brumleve
The United States is a
born again nation. The election of Obama has broken down doors that have
been getting knocked on for decades. As I watched some of the reactions of
people around me during this week, some happy and some almost angry, I began
to wonder where the root of this generational attitude change originated
from. Why is my generation overwhelmingly pro-Obama and my previous
generations not? Sports became the clear answer...

Three years ago, the
Houston Rockets teamed up
superstars Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, with nary a single series win to show for
it so far. Apparently brass has decided that they need a third superstar to make
the next step to join the elite teams, enter Ron Artest.
Houston has reached a deal with the Kings for the moody forward, sending Donte
Greene, Bobby Jackson and a first-round draft choice to Sacramento. The trade
can't be official until August 14th due to a league rule the prevents players
from being traded within 30 days of signing a contract (which Greene did
mid-July), but Houston fans are already abuzz at Artest's impending arrival...more
