Aroldis Chapman: Reds See Fire Storm
Aroldis Chapman: Reds See Fire Storm The Cincinnati Reds were in a world hurt it seems from the left handed pitching side. Actually, they may not have been suffering as much as they even knew. A powerhouse AAA player from the Louisville team came up and reminded them of all the potential “would be” opportunities. In doing so, Aroldis Chapman hits the mound and makes short work of a lot of bats. Arthur Rhodes was scheduled for Tuesday but was not able to make his start and that left the door wide open for the new guy. Moving out of the minors into the majors is the sole goal for every player in the first place, how it happens is not important. However, making the best of the opportunity is important and sometimes, players only get one chance....

Troy Polamalu Insures His Hair If you watch any form of sports, you have probably seen a variety of hairstyles from initials cut into a buzz cut, mowhawks, dreads, braids and more. For one NFL player, his hair is so important that he has taken out an insurance policy on it. Troy Polamalu has insured his hair for $1 million. Reading this is enough to make folks living paycheck to paycheck wonder what in the world would prompt such action and how much does it cost?. Did Crystal Gail ever think to ensure her gorgeous long hair at all? Either way, the Pittsburg Steelers are getting a ton of press over this insurance policy. According to Polamalu, he hasn’t cut his hair in over 10 years when a coach demanded that he do it and apparently he felt...

DWTS: Dancing With The Stars Kurt Warner Former professional athletes seem to be extending their celebrity-laden careers by moving to reality TV. In case you didn’t know already, Jimmie Johnson from the NFL will be a contestant on the upcoming season of Survivor. Dancing with the Stars watched Emmitt Smith dance his buns off and who could help but look at Chad Ochocinco in a different light after watching him wiggle all those muscles, the ones in his abs specifically. This year’s version has two former professional athletes and one of those is former quarterback Kurt Warner. It seems to be common sense that the guys with the nifty foot work on the football field or basketball court should be better able to master some of the steps. This...

Jamie McCourt: Dodger’s Owner
Jamie McCourt: Dodger’s Owner The owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers are in the middle of a post-marital argument. High on the list of priority in this separation is the same as with your average divorce, ownership of property. In this case, that property just happens to be a very large baseball organization. Jamie McCourt appears to want to change her agreement with Frank McCourt regarding the ownership of the Dodgers. The agreement between the two had been in effect since 2004 but Frank refused to put home number eight in her name. The couple’s biological children were to have ownership of the Dodgers per that agreement. However, owning seven homes wasn’t enough until now. The main question that remains unanswered regards who actually...
