Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse - World Series Preview | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Yankees - This could quite possibly be one of the most evenly matched World Series in quite sometimes. Instead of breaking down the series like I have throughout the playoffs I thought we would spotlight each area of the teams when it comes to their pitching, hitting and defense. This is going to be on paper one of the best World Series to date; let’s hope that this transcends out on the diamond."

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse - Top 5 NFL Stories from Week 6 | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Mark Sanchez throws 5 INTs - Amazing what six weeks can do to you in the beginning of your NFL career. In the first three weeks Mark Sanchez was on top of the New York sporting world. New York sports radio was calling Mark Sanchez as the top New York sports figure in the city. He was just a day away from getting a key to the city and a ticker tape parade."

Eric Gargiulo presents WWE Star Wants To Smack Eric Mangini | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "MTV reality television and WWE superstar, The Miz is making some headlines today. The Miz did an interview with ESPN.com and blasted Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini. The Miz definitely has a career as an NFL analyst after he hangs up the boots. The Miz has no love for Man-genius and would love to well...see him soil his pants."

Steve Patterson presents Ohio State Head Coach Jim Tressel Stresses Turnovers posted at BrutusReport, saying, "There was some talk about benching Pryor from the media and fans after the bad loss but the coaching staff never considered it during the game or since the game."

Steve Patterson presents Penn Hills Cullen Christian Junior Highlights posted at eFilmRoom, saying, "He demonstrates good open field tackling ability from the cornerback position on a number of plays."

Steve Patterson presents Cullen Christian Receives Ohio State Offer posted at eScoutRoom, saying, "Christian is a tall cornerback that can use a year in college to improve his recovery speed and his strength but has turned enough heads in high school to get the attention of many of the top programs in the mid-west."

Steve Patterson presents Tuesday QB for week 6 in the NFL. posted at FryingPan Sports, saying, "Ownership of the Redskins have taken the play calling away from Coach Zorn."

Eric Gargiulo presents Have A Sporty Halloween | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Ah, Halloween. Not many other holidays can simultaneously conjure up the fun of getting free candy, as well as the idea that a crazed man in a William Shatner mask may hack you to pieces if you're caught in the act of pre-marital coitus. Funny how these two traditions seem to go together."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Shonn Greene – It is rare that a running back opportunity like this comes along this far into the fantasy football season. New York Jets running back, Shonn Greene is likely going to be the first waiver wire pick up this week, so if you are in last place you will get your first shot at Greene. Leon Washington wasn’t your average number two back for the Jets. The Jets do a pretty good job of getting touches and passes to both backs."

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse - Top 5 NFL Stories from Week 7 | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Giants lose 2nd straight game, go to 5-2 - The New York Giants are becoming the fast falling Football team in the NFL right as they have lost two straight against two of some of the hierarchy in the NFC. We may be seeing what the Giants really are this season after starting their season against five teams that weren’t looked at as strong teams to compete with them. After seeing how they played against the Saints and Cardinals; Giants fans have to be worried as they enter Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 7 Studs and Duds | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "STUDS: Cedric Benson: Benson has been a solid running back the entire year, but I don’t think many people saw the effort he put up against the Bears. Everyone knew that he was going into the week with a chip on his shoulder because he was playing his old team, but 189 yards and a TD against the 6th ranked rushing defense is a larger then just a chip. Benson has emerged as one of the top 10 fantasy backs after becoming a felon and jobless a couple years ago. Benson has gone from a must start to a top fantasy player with his effort against the Bears that most owners will start counting on for points."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Season Week 8 Preview and Picks | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "There were many questions about Brett Favre returning to the NFL and playing for the Minnesota Vikings. The number one question surrounded him was his health. Favre left the NFL last season injured and broken down. According to Favre, all of his injuries had not healed coming into the season. The showdown with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field was a great story in August, but many fans wondered if Favre would make it to Week 8. Favre has not only made it, he has turned out to be one of the biggest success stories of the 2009 NFL season."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 8 - Quick Fixes & Sleepers | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "David Garrard Jacksonville Jaguars – He is still a free agent in 34 percent of yahoo leagues, if you are in need of a quarterback, or your quarterback is on bye week, Garrard is your man. This week he has one of the most favorable match-ups, going against the titans pass defense. Last time he destroyed them for 300 yards and three touchdowns. I just can’t see the titans coming out and playing any different then what they have been playing this year."

Eric Gargiulo presents Beat The Shark NFL Pick 'Ems Contest For NFL Week 8 | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "What do you do when having trouble winning football games, well you challenge a football player. What? Yes fans this week the NFL meets the LFL (The Lingerie Football League) as "The Shark" macthes wits with New York Majesty wide receiver, the gorgeous Miss Marie Nicole."

Eric Gargiulo presents Sharks' Flash and Crash - Fantasy Start 'em or Sit 'em NFL Week 8 | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts vs San Francisco 49ers - This one is totally automatic. You don't need me to tell you to play this guy every single week. Manning is back in MVP form, and it doesn't really seem to matter who is getting the football here. The 49ers have been looking alot more like the Niners of a few years back, instead of the team that started 3-1. At home Indy is 100 percent tough, and always a great play for fantasy owners. 3 from Peyton, Sure!"

emancave presents Fantasy Football draft using CBS Sportslines Draft Analyzer tool ? results mid-season? posted at e-ManCave.com.

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Jamaal Charles Kansas City Chiefs - The Ryan Moats hype may be the best thing this week for those of you that waited on Jamaal Charles. I picked up Charles last week as soon as Larry Johnson was sent home knowing that he’d be available since he was on a bye week. Moats will probably be the first running back taken this week, which leaves you a great option deeper into the waiver or free agent wire. Charles will be the starting back in a committee, but what separates him from the rest of the backs is his ability to catch the ball."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 8 Studs and Duds | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Maurice Jones Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars: For the second straight week, Mighty Mouse tops my list on the Studs category. He rushed for 177 yards against the struggling Titans defense but the most impressive stat is that he did this all on 8 carries. For those of you doing the math that’s just over 22 yards per carry. That stat can only be topped by his 80 yard and 79 yard touchdown runs. This was a huge game for Mighty Mouse and has solidified him as a top 2 fantasy running back."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Mid-Season Report Cards - NFC | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Dean’s List - The New Orleans Saints. This may be the kiss of death, because I put the New York Giants on the Dean’s List in the first-quarter report, and they have collapsed since. The New Orleans Saints are a truly special team. They are getting it done in all phases of the game. Even more impressive is that they have had to come from behind in the last couple of weeks and been successful in doing so. I don’t think the Saints go undefeated, but I have no idea who is going to beat them in the playoffs. Drew Brees is on another level from every quarterback in the NFL and Darren Sharper may be the NFL MVP at the mid-way point on defense."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Mid-Season Report Cards - AFC | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Dean’s List - Indianapolis Colts. The Colts remain on the Dean’s List for the second report card of the NFL 2009 season. The Colts are now the lone unbeaten in the AFC. Peyton Manning and crew have had some scares and it hasn’t been easy in some cases. However, they have never had to come from behind the way the Saints have to remain unbeaten. The Colts remain to have issues with stopping the run. The problem is that teams have to abandon the run to play catch-up to Peyton and crew. This year’s Week 10 game against the New England Patriots will be the next NFL game to capture the nation. Indy has a very tough stretch down the line so I don’t see Indy going 16-0. However, past lessons have taught this team never to let up. The Colts are truly in a class all by themselves in the AFC."

Eric Gargiulo presents Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin Postponed Until UFC 108 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The much-anticipated November 21 showdown between UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin is going to have to wait. The major announcement came today from Dana White via Yahoo! Sports. White stated that Lesnar has been sick for approximately three-and-a-half weeks with some type of flu like illness. It has been rumored that Lesnar has been suffering from the H1N1 virus; however, White stated today that he does not believe this to be the case."

Eric Gargiulo presents Boxing Rant - Pac Man vs. Cotto | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "HBO is good. I loved all those pre-shows they used to have for every fight – I miss ‘em, but they crossed the line when they had a half hour pre show for De La Hoya – Steve Forbes, I’m like, “How could this keep anyone’s interest for more than two minutes, let alone the fight?” But now for big fights they do a “Mayweather spawned” “24/7″ four part series to get you ready. I just watched part one of Pacquiao – Cotto and I’m already bitching. Right in the beginning, and this is something Jim “I have a weird man-crush on Miguel Cotto that is borderline disturbing” Lampley was always saying, that since Antonio Margarito (37-6, 27 kayoes) got caught with plaster in his gloves, that obviously means that’s how he beat Cotto (34-1, 27 kayoes). That’s Cotto’s only loss, if you didn’t see his fight with Clottey, either. But on paper, which is what counts, his only loss is to Margarito and he’s forgiven because in a fight that had nothing to do with him his old opponent (Margarito) tried to use loaded gloves – assumption is not reality, and in his next fight a lot of people, including me, thought he lost to Clottey, and now he’s back in a mega fight? Well, there’s this boxer who was welterweight, (same weight class and I’d love to see them fight) but recently moved up to Jr Middle but could still make welter, in Kermit Cintron (31-2-1, 27 kayoes) who went to my high school. He has two losses, both of them to guess who?"

Eric Gargiulo presents Brock Lesnar Blowing the Minnesota Vikings Horn - Video | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Check out this video of UFC world heavyweight champion and former World Wrestlnig Entertainment star, Brock Lesnar blowing the horn at the Minnesota Vikings game against the Baltimore Ravens. Lesnar was given the honor as part of a promotion to promote tourism in South Dakota. Tourism in South Dakota? Has anyone seen where Lesnar lives in those UFC Countdown specials? Unless you want to be isolated from the world, South Dakota is probably the last place I’d want to go for a vacation."

Rod presents Pressureless tennis balls: the best to use in tennis ball machines posted at Tennis Ball Machines, saying, "Trying to use regular tennis balls in a ball machine is a dead loss - they lose their bounce far too quickly. It's much better to invest in a tub of pressureless practice balls."

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse ? NLCS Preview posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Philadelphia Phillies and The Los Angeles Dodgers meet again in the National League Championship Series. One season ago it was the Philadelphia Phillies defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS in 5 games on their way to the World Series trophy. The magical run the Los Angeles Dodgers had was over, Joe Torre and Manny Ramirez were sent home a round earlier then expected by most."

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse - ALCS Preview | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The California Angels and New York Yankees are shaping up to be "teams of destiny" in the 2009 MLB playoffs. One team is riding on the foundation of tradition, to bring a Championship back to the state that has celebrated it 26 times."

Eric Gargiulo presents Jimmy Rollins NLCS Game 4 Winning Double - Video posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Check out the video of one of the greatest post-season moments in Philadelphia Phillies history. The Phillies trailed the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-4 at home in Game 4 of the NLCS. It is the bottom of the ninth inning and Jimmy Rollins is up to bat. Rollins is batting with two outs and two men on base. Rollins then nails a fastball to the right-center, two guys score, game over, and the Phillies take a 3-1 lead in the series. This is truly playoff clutch hitting at its best."

Well we are 4 weeks into this 2009 season and as you all know its one quarter of the way finished. So what do we do when things are a quarter over? Well we grade them. Yes here it is, all 32 teams starting position guys and some extra players who get bulk work and how they have faired so far. This is thee must have measuring stick for your fantasy team. If you have A-Grade players you should be moving along nicely. However if you have F-Graded players, perhaps its time to view your bench or the waiver wire. So read up, enjoy, and scold those who come home with a bad report card!"

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Season Week 5 Preview and Picks posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals both have identical records and are coming off of disappointing weeks. Most importantly, the Bengals were able to pull out a win in OT even after struggling with the winless Cleveland Browns. The Ravens are still crying about their loss to the Patriots."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 0-4?Oh, no! posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "I turn to the not so bright side of the NFL season. We see it virtually every year, and this is certainly no exception. There are always the teams a few weeks in who are absolutely winless. It' s painful to watch their games, as you really start to root for them, hoping they' ll pull it together and get at least one taste of sweet victory before the end of the season. Entering Week 4, there were seven of these winless teams. A Dolphins victory narrowed that down to six. For many of them, there isn' t much hope in sight."

Her name is Stephanie Mazza, a professional model and avid Philadelphia Eagles fan (hmm now how can you not like that?)."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 5 Heroes and Zeroes posted at Best Fantasy Football Blogs, saying, "Matt Schaub – Schaub can be a very frustrating quarterback at times, as can be the coaching of Gary Kubiak. Schaub is one of those kinds of quarterbacks that like to throw in clunkers from time to time to remind you that you don’t own Drew Brees. The great thing about Schaub is that those clunkers rarely come two weeks in a row."

Aside from the “Six Super-Middleweights” (168 pounds) they chose, they left out undefeated IBF champ Lucian Bute, the “once beaten but has gotten better and wanted to be a part of it” in Allan Green, and then, the guy people thought got a raw deal in his fight with Bute, in super middle KO artist Andrade. Looking at the super middleweight Top 10, that’s leaving out numbers 2, 4, and 6."

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse - NFL Week 3 Picks & Predictions posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "NFL Week 2 can be clearly defined as the first week in the NFL where there were upsets.

Prior to this victory the last time the Jets beat the Patriots at the Meadowlands was in 2000."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Season Week 3 Preview and Predictions posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The NFL 2009 season is moving along as Week 3 is already upon us. It looks like a much different season as usual than the previous season. We are already seeing new powerhouses, new fantasy football heroes, and some offenses are starting to come alive. It is now that you will truly begin to see who the contenders and pretenders are."

Eric Gargiulo presents LaDainian Tomlinson Is Back?On The Bench! posted at Best Fantasy Football Blogs, saying, "He was Adrian Peterson before there was Adrian Peterson. LaDainian Tomlinson was the man. L.T. promised a return to prominence this season. The only place L.T. will be returning to is the I.R. report. L.T. will miss Sunday's game giving him a projected zero points two weeks in a row."

Eric Gargiulo presents Time To Cancel The Michael Vick Show posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Michael Vick is the new Brett Favre. The NFL hype machine was out in full force promoting the return of Mike Vick. I expected an offense onslaught from the Philadelphia Eagle.

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse – Top 5 NFL Stories from Week 3 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "NFL Looking back at NFL Week 3 we finally got to see the 2009 NFL Season begins to take shape.

Quarterbacks have lost their jobs and teams are feeling the Super Bowl hangover. These are the Top 5 stories coming out of Week 3 of the 2009 NFL Season."

Eric Gargiulo presents Sharks’ Flash and Crash – Fantasy Start ‘em or Sit ‘em NFL Week 4 posted at Best Fantasy Football Blogs, saying, "Jay Cutler, Bears vs Detroit - I understand the Lions won their first game in 20 attempts last week, but let's face it, they are still the Lions. Jay Cutler seems to finally be doing what he was brought in to do, throw TDs and win games. Cutler has 5 TDs in his last 2 games."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Season Week 4 Preview and Picks posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The NFL will officially wrap up the first quarter of the 2009 regular season this weekend. The big news thus far of the season is a changing of the guard. The Super Bowl teams are under .500 and falling hard. Early favorites like the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys have struggled. To top it off, a quarterback who had to fight for a starting spot last year in college is the darling of the NFL. This is quite the NFL season!"

How many people thought it was sensable to sit Chris Johnson?

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Season Week 2 Preview and Predictions posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Philadelphia Eagles fans will get their first look at Kevin Kolb’s first full NFL game. Kolb was the first player drafted three NFL drafts ago by the Eagles. He was taken with the intentions of replacing Donovan McNabb oh say around now. Unfortunately for the Eagles, Kolb has only real action twice in the NFL regular season and he has been far from spectacular in those outings. This week he starts against the Saints."

Eric Gargiulo presents Herschel Walker Signs MMA Deal With Strikeforce posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "From the NFL Pro Bowl to reality TV star to MMA fighter. Former NFL football star and Heisman Trophy winner, Herschel Walker has signed an MMA deal with UFC competitor, Strikeforce. The 47-yaer old Walker is expected to begin competing in 2010. No word yet on which of Hershel’s personalities will be the one actually competing."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 2 - To Trade or Not To Trade posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "After months of meticulous preparation, you felt great about your fantasy football draft. Week 1 was a bit of a letdown but you knew you had a great team. Now, it is the day after NFL Week 2 and you are beginning to panic. Do you start working a trade or do you stick with your players? Unfortunately for some of you fantasy football players, it is time to start working the phones."

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse - The Sweet Nasty’s NFC Season Preview posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "I love the New Orleans Saints.

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL 2009 Season Week 1 Preview and Predictions posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The NFL season starts with a tremendous rivalry game in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans open up the season. Even a Super Bowl can't erase the memory of Titans players stomping on the terrible towel last season."

Eric Gargiulo presents Make Way For The Lingerie Football League - Q & A With Two Players posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The buzz about a new 10 team Lingerie Football League, filled with competitive action, great athletes, and all the contact of regular football with one very large exception, its played by beautiful women in very little uniforms, with team names such as Philadelphia Passion, Chicago Bliss, Miami Caliente, New York Majesty, Tampa Breeze that play in the east conference, and the Dallas Desire, Denver Dream, L.A. Temptation, San Diego Seduction and the Seattle Mist playing out west."

Eric Gargiulo presents The NFL Betting Edge for Thursday September 10 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Pittsburgh vs. Tennessee. The Super Bowl champs are giving Tennesee 6 and the over/under is 35. The play I would make tonight (and I probably will end up doing it) is teasing the Steelers and the under 6 points moving the line to Pittsburgh EVEN and under 41. I'll lay $50."

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside the Wheelhouse - NFL Week 1 Picks posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The countdown clock is on for the NFL return of Michael Vick where the Eagles go from NFC Wild Card material to potentially playing in another NFC Championship. This Philadelphia Eagles offense is looking good and is ready to click on all cylinders come Week 3 when #7 enters the Wildcat offense. Until then Philly needs to win these two games and make a statement."

Eric Gargiulo presents Another Eagles Season, Another Donovan McNabb Injury posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Philadelphia Eagles fans have gotten their quarterback controversy early. Donovan McNabb will miss 2-4 weeks with cracked ribs. This will be #5"s fifth season of eight with injury. The situation sets up a situation in four weeks where Michael Vick may be the Eagles starting quarterback."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Week 1 - Time to Panic? posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Unless you drafted Adrian Peterson or Drew Brees, your Fantasy Football week 1 was likely a bust. FF Players plan all year for the season from draft guides, cheat sheets, to crafting the perfect lineup. All of that work means nothing when it comes to NFL football. Is it time to panic?"

Eric Gargiulo presents Birds sign Garcia, Kolb Sees Writing on the Wall posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Philadelphia Eagles fans have gotten their quarterback controversy early. Donovan McNabb will miss 2-4 weeks with cracked ribs. This will be #5's fifth season of eight with injury.

Eric Gargiulo presents Mark Sanchez: The Hype is Real posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Thirty-three years. It had been that long since a New York Jets rookie quarterback won his first NFL game. Gerald Ford was in office. Mark Sanchez not only did that, but he did it in quite a convincing, dominating fashion."

Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival - September 10, 2009

Welcome to the September 10, 2009 edition of Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival. This week we have a number of very good articles. Eric Gargiulo presents a number of great posts including a Fantasy Football Draft Kit, why NFL Pre Season is important, Quarterback Sleepers for 2009 for your Fantasy Football team, and the video of the Oregon Football Player Punching the Boise State Player. Bryan Vinson writes about a new sports site called Splinters Premieres! While Colin Timberlake wraps up the carnival with Day 22 of his Training Log. Thanks for stopping by and make sure to bookmark this post on your social sites.

Football

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Draft Kits posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Fantasy football draft kits are one of the best ways to get professional fantasy advice and information. A good draft kit will give you all the tools you need to have a successful fantasy season including player rankings, customized fantasy football cheat sheets, ADP rankings, mock drafts, sleepers, draft strategy articles and complete analysis of everything fantasy football."

Eric Gargiulo presents Nothing Meaningless About This NFL Pre Season posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The 2009 NFL pre season is anything but meaningless. Vick, Favre, Cutler, and Marshall have created more drama and controversy than in any other NFL pre season that I can remember. This NFL pre season is anything but meaningless."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fantasy Football Projections: Quarterback Sleepers for 2009 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "To win in competitive fantasy football leagues, you've got to pay attention to the NFL players with the highest potential for sleeper value during the season. One of the reasons fantasy football is so popular is because of the excitement involved in predicting when various sleepers will break out and start producing."

Eric Gargiulo presents Oregon Football Player Punches Boise State Player In the Face - Video posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Check out the clip at the end of the highlights between Oregon and Boise State. Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount punches Boise State's Byron Hout right in the face following the game. Missed in all of this was a great game played by Boise State last night to help kick off the football season."

Eric Gargiulo presents The Neutral Zone - Five NFL Head Coaches Who Need to Win in 2009 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, ""NFL Coaches on the Hot Seat." It's an article done by every sfootballwebsite every single year. It's talked about year-round on sports-talk radio and is quite the water-cooler conversation. The cliche line to use would be to say that 2009 won't be any different. That idea, however, isn't accurate at all. This 2009 season will be very, very different."

Eric Gargiulo presents Herm Edwards’ NFL Man Crush is Vickening posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Move over Brett Favre and John Madden, the NFL has a stalker in the booth. Herm Edwards has proven to be a bigger joke as an NFL analyst than he was a coach. As the Eagles analyst, Edwards constant gushing over Michael Vick this pre season has gone from annoyance to just downright disgusting."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL Pre Season?s Fantasy Football Implications posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "There is nothing meaningless about the NFL pre season when it comes to Fantasy Football. This is a great chance to look at players coming off injury, how players look with their new teammates, and scout how rookies. Here is what I took away from this past NFL pre season."

Eric Gargiulo presents Not a very Merri-Man? Chargers? Merriman?s Newest Problem posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawn Merriman is the latest superstar to put himself in trouble with the law. I continue to say it. Just because you dress a man up in a pro football uniform and pay him loads of money, doesn't mean he knows what to do with it. Granted at this moment it is mostly speculation, yet it is not good news for Chargers' fans."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fearless NFL 2009 Season Predicitions - AFC posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Some new and exciting NFL things coming to the AFC East this year. Rex Ryan to New York, a feeling of passion in Miami, and some guy named Owens in Buffalo. Ok simply put that all this flash is fine and dandy, but the Jets will be turning to a rookie QB in Mark Sanchez."

Eric Gargiulo presents Born On A Philadelphia Eagles Tie posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "We are days away from the 2009-2010 NFL season, and like many, I am psyched. I wanted to tie in a blog to the upcoming football season, and also have a little fun. Today I look back at a Philadelphia Eagles game around the day I was born."

Bryan Vinson presents Splinters Premieres! posted at splinters, saying, "A sports themed newspaper style comic strip following three kids who are perpetual bench warmers for their schools various athletic teams."

Other

Colin Timberlake presents Training Log: The Wrong Advices - Day 22 posted at colintimberlake.com, saying, "A day of hard training inspired by Olympic swimmer and elderly butt kicker Dawn Fraser"

Very good marterial this and see you next week for another edition. (PS. Bookmark This Page)

Eric Gargiulo presents The Michael Vick Show Debuts Tonight posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The national spotlight will be on the Philadelphia Eagles tonight. Make no mistake about it, it has nothing to do with the birds or the return of Brian Westbrook. The circus tent features one player tonight and that player is Michael Vick."

Baseball

Eric Gargiulo presents Mets Misery is Welcomed by Philly Fans posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Phillies fans have gotten so used to the annual atrocity that is the New York Mets playing baseball in September. Each year the teams are dead even in April and normally carry similar expectations. During the regular season, the teams trade first place back and forth multiple times. That is….until August. August is when the Mets have pulled ahead the past few years just to crash-and-burn in horrid fashion during the month of September."

Football

Eric Gargiulo presents The Vick-McNabb Quarterback Controversy Begins in Philadelphia posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Donovan McNabb’s worst nightmare has begun. The Philadelphia Eagles begged Philly fans to give Michael Vick a chance. Well, it is safe to say that Vick is a hit in Philly. Vick is such a hit that a loud We Want Vick chant broke out at the Linc after Donovan McNabb throwing a third quarter interception."
Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse - Is Adrian Peterson Really The #1 Overall Fantasy Football Pick posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "As we quickly approach Week 1 in the NFL season we are also beginning to end all of our Fantasy Football drafts for the season. If you've completed some drafts already then most of you have seen Minnesota Vikings runningback Adrian Peterson go #1…if you haven't then Adrian Peterson probably went #2. For the 2nd straight season Adrian Peterson is the top guy in most Fantasy Football drafts."
Eric Gargiulo presents Fearless NFL 2009 Season Predicitons! The Shark Goes On The Line posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "So who's ready to hear how it's REALLY going to go down this year? Who wants to know what the NFL will offer before the season even starts? Well we all do, so I've decided to bring to this blog my crystal clear, crystal ball forecast of the 2009 NFL season."
Eric Gargiulo presents The Neutral Zone - The Only ?09 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet You’ll Need – Wide Receivers posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Sports Illustrated, NFL.Com Magazine, and ESPN the Magazine each list Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson one-two in fantasy football drafts. I must admit my slight bias towards Andre Johnson. I love the guy and he’s an absolute monster. This is the ultimate Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet."
Eric Gargiulo presents A Favre From Meaningless NFL Pre Season Game posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "NFL fans are quick to say that pre season games don't matter. Minnesota Vikings fans may disagree when it comes to tonight's game. Brett Favre returns to Monday Night Football and will play a full half for the Vikings. Anything less than a good effort from the gunslinger could officially rip this team apart at the seams."
Eric Gargiulo presents 5 Teams That Should Beg The Broncos For Brandon Marshall posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Most of us have seen the video of NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall disrupting a Denver Broncos practice. This was just the newest ploy in Marshall’s attempts to get traded. NFL analysts have speculated that he is now untradeable. I disagree and will tell you five NFL teams that should be begging for Brandon Marshall."
FavreDollarFootlongs presents Don't Go to College, Join the UFL: How High Football Players Can Finally Get Paid posted at Favre Dollar Footlongs, saying, "The article talks about how high school football players should bypass the NCAA for the UFL to earn money immediately."
FavreDollarFootlongs presents NFL Sunday is Our National Religion posted at Favre Dollar Footlongs, saying, "The article talks about how NFL Sunday is America's new national religion because instead of going to church we congregate together on a Sunday to pray for our teams and we can find faith and miracles during every football game."
Eric Gargiulo presents Gridiron Grumblings: NFL Blackouts Another Sign of the Economy posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "I am going to take a hard look at one of the scarier economic situations in the NFL, in addition to putting the word out about another fantasy football sleeper. "Get That Dough" will return next time, when the NFL betting lines for Week 1 get a little bit clearer."

Other

Rod presents IRB Threatens Springbok World Cup Ban posted at Tri Nations Rugby, saying, "The IRB has at long last published the findings of the independent review of the Bakkies Botha "Justice 4" incident which took place in the third British Lions test a few weeks ago. The review found the South African Rugby Union and Springbok team guilty of bringing the game of rugby into disrepute by daring to question the ban and subsequent rejection of their appeal. However it appears the sanctions imposed by the committee are not punitive enough for the IRB and they are hinting that they may pursue the matter further, even going so far as to ban the Springboks from the 2011 World Cup!"
Ted Reimers presents The 5 Biggest College Sports Scandals of All-Time posted at CampusGrotto.
Viki presents Olympic host cities playing money game posted at Bleeding Drake and Cubbie Blue, saying, "Olympic Host Cities Playing Money Game"
