Chicago Bulls rookie point guard Derrick Rose is the truth. That’s not breaking news if you’ve paid any attention to the NBA this season, but it needs to be said. Derrick Rose is the truth. I’m a Philadelphia 76ers fan and I jumped off of my couch when I saw Rose break Andre Miller’s ankles, [...] Related posts: DERRICK COLEMAN OPENS NIKE SHOE STORE Chicago Bulls rookie point guard...

Baseball legend Pete Rose was effectively banned from the Hall of Fame due to allegations of gambling activities. Prior to the ban Rose was known as a hard-charging player with a penchant for playing the ponies. At a sports collectible store this morning I spotted a small "Pete Rose Museum" display. The funniest exhibit included an official set of "Pete Rose...

I read, With an All-Pro apology, Vick deserves to play in the NFL again , which attempts to justify the disgusting dog fighting ring that Michael Vick set up, bankrolled and got his twisted jollies from. Not to mention gambling profits (recall Pete Rose got a lifetime ban from baseball solely for gambling). And I strongly disagree that Michael Vick should be allowed to play in the NFL...

It’s Veterans Day in the U.S. (Remembrance Day in Canada), so I thought it was fitting that we look at a few famous folks who left fame at the height of their celebrity (OK, except for maybe Pete Rose) to serve our country. Happy Veterans Day! 1. Pete Rose was in the Ohio Army National Guard. He served at Fort Knox for six months, where he was a platoon guide, and then with...

... Ken Griffey (Sr.), Leon Durham, Eric Davis, Ron Robinson, Jeff Treadway, Chris Sabo, Van Snider, Pete Rose, Rob Dibble, John Franco, and Nick Esasky. I’ve got no clue. Rob Murphy is the closest thing either Mike or I could come up with, and I don’t think that’s it. Any suggestions? It could be a coach, but I can’t remember any of them besides Tommy Helms. Maybe it’s someone who get...

William C. Kashatus wrote "Almost a Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the 1980 Phillies" One of the few certainties of history is that it repeats itself. For generations of Phillies fans, that was an unfortunate thing. But today we can thank Phils President Dave Montgomery and Chairman Bill Giles for learning from the past.

... from his glove and make a throw with his bare hand, so flying through the air like Charlie Hustle (Pete Rose) he flips the ball toward first with his glove. Ryan Howard snatches the beautiful awkward toss with his bare hand just an instant before the runner’s foot hit first base. Leave you breathless kind of play. The runner is… safe. On the replay you can see the umpire is behind...

Call us Lucky Town. OK, maybe not in the last quarter century, but we must at least be the most superstitious city in America. It seems like everybody at Citizens Bank Park last night brought a lucky charm of some kind for Philadelphia's first World Series home game in 15 years.Melanie Hummel, who works security, had her Phillies cap on, bought in 1979. "This matches my Pete Rose jersey,"...

The concept of a second NHL team in Toronto has long served as the ultimate fallback for talking heads and columnists -- our version of baseball's "Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame?" pot-stirrer. It was something guaranteed to get the phone lines humming with plenty of hot sports opinion in the absence of a more timely topic because no matter how sound the argument for it may be,...

The 1980 Phillies had Pete Rose and his hard-driving, win-at-any-cost personality. The 1993 Phillies had Darren Daulton, the big-shouldered, square-jawed catcher whose persona screamed, "Follow me, boys, I'll show you the way."
