Rumors are rampant that safety Rodney Harrison of the New England Patriots will be suspended by the NFL for four games due to his admitted use of HGH. This is very surprising on one hand because the Patriots have one of the cleanest organizations in profressional sports, but unfortunately steroids are everywhere and we will continue to be slapped in the face with this reality.

In a bizarre twist of fate Byron Leftwich is no longer the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jack Del Rio announced today that not only is David Garrard now the starter, but Leftwich will be cut or traded. Ouch! I knew there was no love lost between these two based on their disagreements from last year when Leftwich didn’t agree with being benched even though he was injured, but this is quite a surprise. The main question now is how long until the Atlanta Falcons acquire the veteran quarterback? If he doesn’t get picked up though he can always star as Rerun in What’s Happening II. 🙂

The NFL will introduce a new logo during the draft this coming year. The current one has been in place since 1980. We have included some tidbits on the reason behind the changes. I know this is random, but we dig stuff like this here at SportsUnderground.com.
*The new shield features eight stars that represent the eight NFC and AFC divisions rather than 25 on the current logo. No one knows why there used to be 25.
*The football at the center has been updated to resemble the ball atop the Vince Lombardi championship trophy. It no longer looks like the ‘flying hamburger’ you see in the current logo.
*This change will be a VERY expensive one when you start to think about apparel, groundskeepers, video games, football makers, etc.
I have to say I’m not sure its worth it and why mess with history.
Former USC star quarterback Todd Marinovich is in trouble again with the law. It seems Todd ran from officers this past Sunday when they tried to stop him in the early morning hours for skateboarding near a boardwalk that prohibits thrashing on a skateboard. A few minutes later the fuzz found Marinovich hiding in a garage with about one gram of methamphetamine, a metal spoon and a hypodermic needle. This dude is 38 years old and he is out skateboarding in the early morning hours with meth on his person…..NICE!!! It seems he has really gotten his life in order after blowing his opportunity in the NFL many years back due to a severe smack addiction.
There are whispers in NASCAR that Little E and his camp have asked Nextel Cup rookie David Gilliland for the #38. Brilliant! This combines the dearly departed #3 of Earnhardt Sr. and Jr.’s #8. I hope this is true.
Last night DeAngelo Hall had a surprise for Chad Johnson. Below is the picture of the honorary haircut Hall unveiled.
Today Michael walked into a Richmond court and plead guilty to dogfighting charges. In his written plea filed last week, Vick admitted helping kill six to eight pit bulls and supplying money for gambling on the fights. He said he did not personally place any bets or share in any winnings.
BS, BS, BS! You funded, you set up the kennel, you attended fights, you gambled your a$$ off and you helped kill dogs.
The sentencing is set for December 10th and the judge made sure today that Vick was aware he can rule on this case however he sees fit. I sure hope this means the sentence will be for a lot longer than a year, but I just got a gut feeling that won’t be the case.
The Atlanta Falcons have announced they will not cut him at this time.
Dalton Carriker hit a game-winning homer in the bottom of the eighth inning yesterday to help his team win back-to-back Little League World Series Championships. The team from Georgia beat Tokyo, Japan 3-2 and has extended the winning streak for United States team’s to three years. Check out the video clip below to see the breathtaking home run by Carriker and imagine what it must be like to experience such a thrill.
The Texas Rangers went the F#%k off lasts night against the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles were up 3-0 going into the fourth inning when the Rangers decided it was time to get the offense going. When the game was over the Rangers won by a staggering 30-3 score. It’s the second-most runs all-time right behind the Chicago Colts [now the Cubbies] scored 36 against the Louisville Colonels on June 29, 1897. The Rangers hit six home-runs with two of them being grand slams and Jarrod Saltamacchia had seven RBI’s in the game. I got a strong feeling this EMBARASSING loss will not sit well at all with the Orioles.
