Bill Cowher has not been a head coach for the past two seasons, but he almost became a manager. Even though the New York Mets have made Jerry Manuel their permanent manager after giving him a two year deal, Cowher was their first choice.

Yeah, it seems crazy that Cowher could have made the move to Major League Baseball from the NFL, but it also seems crazy that the Bush administration has put the nation in the jam it is in.

The NFL is the elitist of leagues in America. They do not care about, nor give credence to, any other sport. They do what they want, when they want and if that means overshadowing other sports, then so be it.

This week, the league is thinking about moving one of their games to a 10PM start. The reason for doing this would be simple. Try and overshadow the baseball playoffs.

The NFL has become an extremely violent sport. What used to be played by beer guzzling athletes is now played by fierce warriors. That is the image the NFL wants to send to its fans.

Or is it? Commissioner Roger Goodell today announced that he would like to curb some of the anger that leads to injuries in the league. He would like to take out some of the violence.

This article is just being written to inform people that the sport of golf still exists. Tiger Woods has not played in several months, so it seems like nobody cares about golf anymore.

Truth is, they don't. Vijay Singh won a golf tournament over this past weekend, but nobody cares. If Woods is not playing, then there is no reason to follow the game of golf, according to some experts.

Brett Favre has announced that he will report to Packers training camp this weekend. Once he gets there, he will be in for a shock from the team. They have instructed that Favre wear an orange jersey when he is out on the field.

The orange jersey will represent that Favre must be there, but that the Packers do not consider him part of the training camp. The rest of the players reporting have been told to act as if anyone with an orange jersey does not even exist.

Favre will be one of two men that will be wearing the orange jersey. The other is the water boy. Neither of which appear to be hurt by having to wear the orange jersey.

Turkey has been one of the surprise teams at this year's Euro 2008. They have battled through some difficult matches, but Friday's epic match with Croatia will forever be known as the Popsicle game.

Representatives from both Croatia and Turkey got together before the start of Friday's Euro 2008 quarter-finals match. The goal was to find an alternative way to end a tie game other than penalty kicks. 

A representative from Denmark suggested that since both teams would most likely be exhausted after regulation and overtime, the game should come down to a Popsicle eating contest.

Tiger Woods secured himself another major golf title on Monday afternoon, but the real story was who he thought he was playing. Woods said after the victory that he thought he was playing against Rocky Raccoon, a fictional character made up by the Beatles.

When told that he was actually playing against Rocco Mediate, he appeared stunned. "I was wondering the whole day why he did not even crack a smile when I was humming Beatles tunes," said Woods, who was physically shaken by the incident.

Adam "Pacman" Jones was partially reinstated by the NFL on Monday. The move clearly shows the power of the Dallas Cowboys organization within the league.

Upon hearing the news, Jones was so overcome with joy, that he decided to go out and celebrate. Grabbing his handgun, and some singles from the bank, Jones headed out towards Las Vegas.

Once in Las Vegas, witnesses saw Jones enter one of his favorite strip clubs. He "made it rain" dollar bills for most of the night, according to one observer. He also tried his best, according to the anonymous person, to start fights with several different men.
