The Detroit Tigers sent Prince Fielder packing, along with $30 million dollars, to the Texas Rangers. Why you ask would they send a slugger like Fielder for second baseman Ian Kinsler? Three reasons.
#1 ~ Kinsler will fill a need for the Tigers at second base.
#2 ~ Fielder ain’t slugging like he used to, and
#3 ~ He’s fat mmmaaannn! Like I said, only the truth matters.

After being released by the Houston Texans after only six games, nine time pro bowler Ed Reed pretty much identified the Texan defensive coordinator, Wade Phillips, with his father’s nickname . . . “Bum”! Reed suggested the defensive set-up did not fit the talent they had and Phillips had very few words for the Baltimore legend. And yet you’re still wondering why Houston has only won two games!
If you think for one minute that Manny Pacquiao will face embarrassment again after being knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez last December in Vegas, you got another thing coming. The Pac-Man bounces back with a firm decision. TKO in the end.
Former University of Pittsburgh running back Ray Graham was signed to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad after being released by the Houston Texans. Way to go Pittsburgh. You did a good thing . . . that quite honestly you didn’t have to do and at the same time brought him to a better place.
