Brian Westbrook to retire?

My my, teams are really letting some once great running backs go these last couple of days huh?

Brian Westbrook won’t be playing for them Eagles no more once the 2010 NFL football season gets here. Yes, just like LaDainian Tomlinson not playing for them Chargers anymore. You see, after two cases of concussions last season, the Eagles finally let him go, stirring up some rumors that he may just call it quits and walk away from football.

However, Brian Westbrook claims that is simply not the case. ”My plan is not to retire. My plan is to continue to play football,” he said in an interview with a local radio station in Philly. ”There’s 32 teams out there. Hopefully I’ll have an opportunity to

Did the Knicks get T-Mac to lure LeBron James?

Did the Knicks get T-Mac to lure LeBron James?

After trading Nate Robinson to Boston, you can’t help but wonder, are these guys throwing the 2010 NBA basketball season away already? And what’s even funnier is the fact that the Knicks actually think bringing in a Tracy McGrady who is now merely a shell of his former self, the right move to make.

But when you come to think of it, this is probably a good business decision by New York Knicks gerenal manager Donnie Walsh. We all know the Knicks won’t be competing for the NBA championship this season anyway so the least they can do now is just put more asses inside Madison Square Garden and just like Iverson in Philadelphia, McGrady can

Will Brett Favre retire?

Will Brett Favre retire?

Football fans from Minnesota and probably some from New York and Green Bay, are all wondering if Brett Favre will give it another go for the coming 2010 NFL football season or just retire. (Yep, we did the exact same thing last year, and the year before that…)

Performing in stellar fashion all season, Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings looked primed, even destined for a Super Bowl win. But, as has happened in the past, Flingin’ Favre sent another pass into the defense’s arms to end what had all the earmarks of a magical Super Bowl run.

While his season is over, Favre’s offseason and the debate and speculation regarding ‘will he’ or ‘won’t he’ retire

Howard and Shaq fighting over the Superman moniker?

Howard and Shaq fighting over the Superman nickname?

With the 2010 NBA basketball season closing in on its final stretch for the postseason, the last thing you want is a seven-foot, 300-pound monster like Shaquille O’Neal after you. Well, Dwight Howard got Shaq’s attention, all thanks to this stupid little nickname that lets the rest of the league call you Superman.

You read it, Shaquille O’Neal hates the fact that the rest of the league has been calling Dwight Howard ”Superman.” Shaq feels Howard stole the moniker from him and he still feels he should be the only guy who can carry the name even at this point of his career.

Shaq made his displeasure towards Howard and his new nickname public

Brock Lesnar to return to the UFC?

Good. That means all that weight Frank Mir put on won’t be for nothing after all.

That’s also good news for UFC fans who thought they’ve seen the last of Brock Lesnar in the UFC after only four fights inside the Octagon.

And in case you didn’t get that yet, Brock Lesnar is good to go this year after being sidelined by what was first believed to be mono, but later revealed to be an intestinal disorder, diverticulitis.

According to his head trainer Greg Nelson, Lesnar will be definitely back. ”Brock Lesnar is definitely coming back to fight,” Nelson said. ”And he’s just kind of coming up slowly, training, trying to get his body ready and being smart with his

Georges St-Pierre retiring from the UFC?

Arguably one of the best fighters to ever enter the Octagon, GSP is rumored to walk away from the UFC to prepare for the Olympics.

You read it, Georges St-Pierre, scheduled to co-main event UFC 111 on March, is rumored to walk away from the UFC to train and represent Canada at the 2012 Olympics in freestyle wrestling.

But did the words ”I’m walking away from the UFC” really came out of the mouth of reigning UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre? Well, Randy Couture claims GSP didn’t say anything about walking away. In fact, Couture says St-Pierre is frustrated about the way the media took his comments about the POSSIBILITY of training for the 2012 Olympics out of context.

”I talked to

Peyton Manning still the best ever?

We sure heard a lot of these before and during Super Bowl XLIV.

And since we all now know that Peyton Manning missed out on winning his second Super Bowl title after his Colts lost to the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV to the score of 31-17, we’re asking again. Can Peyton Manning still be considered as the best quarterback to ever play football if he doesn’t win another Super Bowl?

You bet. Peyton Manning can still be considered as the best quarterback to ever play football because nobody has consistently won games better than he did the last few years. Sure, his crucial mistake late in Super Bowl XLIV cost him his second ring but that won’t take away the things he has already accomplished
