Cheese Doodles and General Hospital:The Stephen A. Smith Story

In honor of Stephen A. Smith's guest appearence on General Hospital yesterday , I think its time to go over the best Stephen A. Smith moments of the last couple of years. By the way, did anyone know that he started his college career at the Fashion Institute of Technology.?

• Never has a man in his mid-30's loved cheese doodles this much.
• Move other Mike and the Mad Dog, but this might be the greatest opening in radio history.
• Now I will have to find a better way to fall asleep.
• Stephen A. loves his birthday as much as I do , Cheese Doodles for everyone.
• Move over Baseball, Basketball, Hockey and Football halls of fame, Stephen A. was up for the Deadspin hall of fame.
• His own boss called him "whiny."
• He has changed the way we look at sports.

After reviewing the facts, I think Time Magazine should have made Stephen A. Smith the Person of the Year. Just remember to "Holla at cha boy Stephen A."

• What is this 2003?

Was the transfer window even open

This Transfer window was full of rumor and little action. With the transfer window all closed, teams around the EPL are getting read for the stretch run. The window featured a couple of active teams including Liverpool and West Ham who both did their fair share of wheeling and dealing. Liverpool signed Argentine Javier Mascherano, while West Ham signed a bunch of people to help them stay out of the Championship. Both Chelski and Manchester United did not make a big signing. United only made one, but that might change the race for the championship. At the start of the month, United got Henrick Larsson (pictured during his days at Celtic FC) on loan until the end of the march. So far he has been a god sent, adding depth to the forward position and taking some of the stress of Rooney and Saha.

Here is a complete list of all of the EPL transfers

ESPN Soccernet breaks down the window.

Stalking High School Seniors and searching for the next Ron Powlus

It's that time of year, when college football coaches around the country start to act like pedophiles. Somewhere Charlies Wies is in his over sized sweatshirt and sweatpants sneaking around a private high school in Chicago, while Nick Saban and his slick hair will be lurking around a high school in Alabama looking for the next program makes.

With a week to go before the National Signing Day, seniors that made verbal commitments are changing them and colleges are scrambling to replace them. For some programs; like the U and 'Bama, this is a make or break class for them. Just in case you need some foreshadowing, Jimmy Clausen is going to turn into the next Ron Powlus.
But for the most part all of the top prospects have signed.

Please Draft My Brother

Dear Mel Kiper Jr ,

As a representative of Adam Huba, I would like to alert you that he has made himself eligible for the NFL draft. Adam has been outstanding in back yard football games, and is hoping to make the next step in his career. He runs the 40 yard dash in 19. 9 seconds and is light on his feet.

"Jon Thomas has nothing on him," said his representatives. "With his slippers, no one is lighter on his feet. "

Huba's stats:

Height: 6-4

Weight: plus or minus a 30 pack: 287.

Reach: 6-4

Shuttle Run: chose not to complete.

Wonderlick test: Spelled name wrong and was too busy drinking Miller Lite; on par with Vince Young.

Now that is a punch in the stomach

In Bill Simmons world of dramatic losses, that was a stomach punch game. With a nine point lead over dreaded Chelski looking right at us, RVP scored and then TH14 scored at the end of the injury time to leave the Red Devils with nothing. So with less then half of the season to go United still have a six point lead, but they still have a trip to the bridge.
