Biggest snubs in the NL are:Ryan Zimmerman and Gerardo Parra. They’re not even on the ballot for the Final Vote. No issue with Pedro Alvarez going at third base or Ian Desmond representing Washington on the Final Vote, but no Parra at all is just w

There are many fine broadcasters, as well as some not-so-good ones. So who’s the best of the best? Let’s see. (This list only includes analysts, not play-by-play guys or studio hosts/personalities. Also, I don’t watch golf, college football or the NBA, so those sports have been excluded from this list.)

There you have it. A total of 20 conferences were affected by this summer’s round of realignment, including the creation of a new conference and the disbanding of another. Of course, some big ones are on the horizon again next summer, with Rutgers and Maryland joining the Big Ten, Louisville going to the ACC, and the American adding a few more from Conference USA. So, don’t get used to the current conference landscape just yet. It might take the whole year to straighten things out, anyway.

There you have it. My Mount Rushmore consists of the greatest player from each of the four great eras in Giants history. Of all the great players in franchise history, Mel Hein, Frank Gifford, Lawrence Taylor and Eli Manning stand out as the best–and the most deserving of the honor.

More to the Story of the Biogenesis Scandal-There’s still going to be a lot more that comes out from the Biogenesis scandal. I’m having trouble deciding where I come down on this, too.

Gordon Gee “retired” as President of Ohio State today. I put “retired” in quotes intentionally. Because I’m not really sure how much choice he had in the matter. The way I see it, you can call it anything you want. The bottom line remains the same though. Gordon Gee had to go and everyone knew it. So whether it was completely his decision or he was in fact forced out (which is what I suspect), Ohio State did the right thing. Something that Rutgers can learn from.
