Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival - August 13, 2009

Welcome to the August 13, 2009 edition of Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival. Some really good sports content this week starting with Prior Adams and why a true fan never leaves a game early. Steve Patterson updated the 2010 Basketball recruiting season for the Buckeyes which looks like one of the best in the country. Eric has an interesting article on the NFL blackballing Michael Vick. I still think Vick shouldn't play QB in the league and a team would be smart to pay him the minimum and see what position he fits best at, just my opinion. Finally JJ has some good stuff on tilting players in a poker tournament. Enjoy the articles, bookmark, stumble, tweat, and all that stuff.

Eric Gargiulo presents Pedro?s Addition to Phil?s Rotation could be Happ-less posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Very few things get me upset to the point where I can't even talk about them without turning red and getting angry. One of them is currently culminating on a daily basis. I'm holding out hope that all of this build up will be for nothing. If the Phillies remove J.A. Happ from the starting rotation in favor of Pedro Martinez, there could and should be riots."
