The Sports Debates

Read the opposing arguments from Babe Ruthless and Bleacher Fan . View This Poll online survey We got things back up and running this week with a passionate debate about Terrelle Pryor and his possible future in the NFL. Pryor is a polarizing athlete who most folks have a solid opinion about one way or another in regards to his future, and his immediate future apparently includes a spot in the upcoming NFL supplemental draft. Most sane people believe he isn’t worth a first round pick... Read Full Story

View This Poll online survey We took a little break, but TSD is back (thankfully, my co-writers weren’t “childish” and “ignorant” about my sinus infection and really bad cough). There were several topics that we could have tackled in our debate this week, such as “What is the best LeBron James joke”, but we decided to take a deeper look into the situation involving former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. After... Read Full Story

Read the opposing argument from Babe Ruthless . View This Poll online survey On February 6th, 2008, every high school football senior in the country with hopes of playing at the next level had to make a decision. It was National Signing Day, where those recruits commit to the college program they wish to be a part of. Every recruit, that is, except one. A quarterback out of Jeannette, PA, by the name of Terrelle Pryor thought he was special, and that the rules of everyone else... Read Full Story

Read the opposing argument from Bleacher Fan . View This Poll online survey Life gave Terrelle Pryor lemons, and earlier this week he started making lemonade. Well maybe that’s not entirely accurate. Perhaps it could be better stated that, life blessed Terrelle Pryor with incredible athletic gifts and placed him in an extremely enviable position to showcase those talents, and then his greed and ego caused the downfall of his career, his coach’s job , and his college football team’s...

Read the opposing arguments from Loyal Homer and Bleacher Fan . View This Poll Market Research Here we are in early May and the MLB standings are a bit confusing . The team with the best record in baseball is not the team many predicted – it’s the Cleveland Indians of all teams. A 18-8 April does not earn any team a championship, but it is as noteworthy as the New York Yankees’ 17-8. It’s as good as the Phillies as well. Since the Yankees and the Phillies are legitimate name-brand... Read Full Story

Read the opposing argument from Loyal Homer . View This Poll Market Research The first month of baseball is officially in the books, and the biggest story from the month of April has been the play of the Cleveland Indians. The upstart Tribe has just turned in the greatest start in the 110 year history of their storied franchise , finishing April tied for the best record in baseball at 18-8, and currently owning a 4.5 game lead in the AL Central . This is a better start than... Read Full Story

Read the opposing argument from and Bleacher Fan . View This Poll Market Research We’re just over a month into the Major League Baseball season, and some surprises have evolved. The Cleveland Indians have been baseball’s biggest surprise, as through May 2, they lead MLB with an overall record of 19-8 , though it’s unclear if anyone in Cleveland (outside of Bleacher Fan and Sports Geek) are paying attention. The Florida Marlins likewise have gotten off to a hot start at 18-9... Read Full Story

Read the opposing arguments from Loyal Homer and Sports Geek . View This Poll survey software   I must give my colleagues, Sports Geek and Loyal Homer, credit. After two years of working together, debating all the biggest issues in sports, they managed to bring out yet another first in TSD history! For the first time ever, I actually disagree with BOTH arguments (well, at least partly). The question was to debate whether or not coaches and universities should look into... Read Full Story

Read the opposing arguments from Loyal Homer and Sports Geek . View This Poll survey software College football coaches are always on the lookout for the next possible gridiron superstar. Each coach’s wish list is different, but the criteria is almost always the same – speed, smarts, and size usually rule the day. So where does an intangible like character come into play? Every program would love to have a guy like Tim Tebow in their locker room. He was a good player with a... Read Full Story

Read the opposing argument from Loyal Homer . View This Poll survey software At times we have an inclination as a culture to abdicate responsibility for things rather than commit to being accountable. Sure, we could take the lead on that project at work, but it would be visible to management and it’s easier to play it safe. Yes, I could run down that dude that just stole that old lady’s purse, but it’s safer to stay put and hope things work out for her. Being accountable – having... Read Full Story
