Welcome everyone! You have now entered the worst part of the year for a sports fan. We all get to experience a hockey and basketball hangover while we wait for free agency and trades to kick in to ignite our interest. After that we have another lull before NFL training camps start with only college football preview [...] Added by: tscblog Viewed: 0 time(s) Tags/Keywords: jamie nhl olympics 2010 canada...
Yesterday, Michael Schmidt of the New York Times reported that Sammy Sosa tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in 2003. Sosa and Alex Rodriguez are now the only two names that have been leaked of the 104 players who agreed to take part in an “anonymous” drug test. The fact is, these players are being cheated by the law firms that have leaked these two names. Many firms...
The campaign to get rugby sevens into the Olympics faced its biggest test so far this weekend when it and the other six bidding sports made their presentations to the IOC Executive Board at Lausanne in Switzerland.

Not only did the Beltway-area boxers perform well at the USA Nationals this past week in Denver, CO, but so did area officials, as two local referees walked away with Outstanding Referee awards. Brent Bovell won his second Outstanding Referee award adding to the award he won in 2007. However, Bovell received another honor as he was chosen as an AIBA (International Amateur Boxing Association) referee,...

An unseemly scrum is developing in the race to get into the Olympics-after-next and rugby is right there in the thick of it, shoving, rucking and mauling towards inclusion in 2016. The sevens version is one of seven sports – golf, squash, baseball, softball, karate and roller-skating are the others – two of which will find their way into the Games of 2016, thus adding to a gargantuan programme...

It was Penicheiro's second injury of the young season. She strained her right biceps...
If you recall my blog post on Tuesday, March 24th, (and I expect that you do ;) - March Madness Presents a Moral Dilemma - I mentioned that I was offered a FREE Final Four ticket under the precondition that Syracuse would not be around for the last weekend of play in Detroit. Thanks to Blake Griffin, the Orangemen were bounced from the NCAA tourney in premature fashion; only yours truly would never...
Before you settle in for a Wing-dinging of Titanic proportions in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, did you see what Damien Cox wrote about Dany Heatley , saying he's not a "MENSA candidate" and suggesting he be left off the 2010 Canadian Olympic hockey team? That seemd to be the crux of Cox's point, beyond the obligatory Ottawa-zinging — "I get the part where he doesn't want to...
