Now this is old school

A shirt I found in my closet. The shirt is now 14 years old, I have no idea why I still have it. Go Heels.

Another Superstar off the scrapheap at WPUNJ

When I was at William Paterson a small dynamic guard named Horace Jenkins lead the Pioneers to the Division III Final Four, now they have a star with a similar story. Junior Guard Corey Chandler's journey to redemption has taken to William Paterson and as a graduate I could not be happier. I hope Chandler story ends the same way as Jenkins with a trip to the Final Four.

The Flyers should just stand pat

For the last couple of days Philly has been abuzz over the idea of the flyers trading for Rick Nash. While most are in favor of it I'm totally against it. The price that has been rumored includes a package that includes: JVR, Sean Couturier or Brayden Schenn, Sergi Bobrovsky, and a first rounder. That is a huge price to pay for a 27-year old that had never played in a big time playoff series.

Who is to say that the Flyers would be trading away two player that could be better and cheaper than Nash. JVR, Coutrier, and Schenn are the next generation and need to stay in orange and black.

Mike Vick is ready

College Baseball would have a different look if MLB followed the NFL Draft rules

So what would happen if baseball required players to go to college for at least three years, it would look very different then it does now. BaseballAmerica.com's Jim Callis takes a look at it and breaks it down. This is all you need to know Bryce Harper would be at South Carolina, now that would be scary.

Same type of Culture LFC & PSU


During the last couple of months, the culture at Penn State has been questioned. The Penn State culture is very simple. They are a tight knit community where everyone is from there and outsiders are usually not brought in. In that culture things are kept quite and they try not to let it out. For years, incidents at Penn State where handled in house and anyone who suggested they were handling things wrong were shunned.

Across the pond, there is a similar culture at Liverpool Football Club and that showed this weekend when manager Kenny Dalgish stood up for Luis Suarez not shaking Patrice Evra's hand before the United Liverpool game. During the course of the last two months, Suarez and Dalgish have been fighting with everyone over racism claims against Suarez.

Liverpool is a lot like Penn State, people in the club believe they know what is right for everything and how dare you question them. I'm not comparing the Suarez racism mess to the PSU Jerry Sandusky sex abuse allegations, but rather how they handled things. Anything that happens involving Liverpool is always someone else's fault, they also think that they can handle everything their way and sometimes it blows up in their face, like their handling of the situation this weekend.

Lets hope the Suarez situations makes Liverpool Football Club look in the mirror and re-examine the culture of the club and what they stand for.
