Sports Minute

Interleague play begins this weekend, which isn't something a lot of sports media is a fan of. Just ask Lance Mcalister.

The Reds play a three game set with the in-state rival Cleveland Indians. Should be a great series considering they are the top two teams in the cbssports MLB power rankings.

The NBA Conference Finals are starting to heat up (no pun intended). Both series' are tied at one game a piece. Here's to two great finishes in both series', leading to an even better NBA Finals.

I read a great post by Mo Egger today. I suggest everyone checks it out and reads it from start to finish.

If this Fracture talk is true then I've probably done about 1% of what I wanted to do in life. It's kind of scary when you think about it, but there's no reason to because we'll all be alive and well on Sunday. Hopefully I'll have another post by then.






What's up with all this media hype about college athletes getting paid? There are so many logical reasons why that should NOT happen. I'm not going to get into all of them, but it is ignorant to even ponder that idea. are people really naive enough to think that STAR college athletes do not have any money? Hell, even if they are poor so is every aspiring lawyer, doctor, journalist or any other normal college student. Not to mention the thousands of dollars they will have to pay back in loans. Big time athletes do not have to worry about loans because they get scholarships. That is all the payment they need. This matter is going to heat up and I'm going to give it its own post soon enough. Please do not make the argument that athletes generate revenue for their respective schools and should see some of that money. That is an uneducated, and for lack of a better term ignorant.
Have a great weekend everybody!






O.J. Mayo, Kemba Walker and Cam Newton had college success and
generated plenty of revenue for their respective schools, but
that does not mean they should be paid.
