Back on the horse again.

*Thought I would start by making a plug as to why roids are bad...

As if this topic wasn't controversial enough the first time so I decided I would link the two again. Baseball and football... Only this time in a different manner. The topic this week has to do with the past two topics wrapped up into one. Late last year Shawn Merriman was found guilty of using Steroids/HGH. Then early this year Rodney Harrison was found guilty as well. When was the last time we heard of them in the steroids/HGH conversation? Now we have baseball. Roger Clemens, Andy Pettite and a slew of others. THAT IS ALL THE NEWS REPORTS ON WHEN IT COMES TO BASEBALL! Why? Is there a media bias here? Why are NFL players getting a free pass? Is it how those football players handled the situation compared to the baseball players? Once again keep your baseball and football opinions as sports to yourself. I want to hear your take on the situation above. So like I said once and I will say again, “You tell me America.” I think someone else uses that line? Who is it?

New Spin

The blog is taking on a new life. Instead of focusing just on the controversy itself we are also going to look at the media's take on the contoversy. We will be asking questions like: Why is the controversy getting so much media attention? How is it being portrayed by different media outlets? Who is impacted by the topic and what is the role of the public interest? So stay tuned and enjoy. And most importantly let your voice be heard.

Topic Number 2

Well, first I am impressed about the passion we are seeing. But its time for a new issue. This one is a serious issue. Before I begin to talk about it I want people to stick there pride in their back pocket and really be "fair and balanced..." I needed to make a fox news plug right? Anyways, the controversy of the week belongs to Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens and it poses 2 questions. First, are they guilty? And second should they be guilty? If they did take them, did they take them before MLB has a rule in place? Is this situation MLB's fault or the players union? I want your honest assessment.

Angry bloggers...

The guy from England emailed me this to me to post on the blog.... He was pist about us comparing soccer and ice skating...

Now while what I have posted above is not true it could be so be careful out there. And thanks to mike and the thesyfl for letting us borrow this picture.

And were off

Alright my friends and family and some guy from I think England? We are off to an impressive start, I hope that we keep this going until we have around 500 to a 1000 hits a day. Hey I can dream can´t I? I wanted post a side note that if you want to email me a picture of yourself or something sweet do it and I will post it for all the viewers. Also, tell your friends and family about this place. It is a good place to come when you are bored at work or school. Also, anyone who is in favor of anything from Boston must have something biologically wrong. Love ya Newman, but Massacusetts can sink into the Atlantic. And Finally, I have recieved a few emails about the Belicheat topic. I don´t want emails, post them on here. Its easy, click the comments button and you are good to go. I have the feeling a question about BYU, Utah, and Utah state coming up to really light up the message boards.

Also, never judge my ability to spell...

Welcome, Welcome...

SPORTSCENTER/COLIN COWHERD on February 3rd, 2008
Welcome all to my blog. I am doing this blog to fulfill a class requirement, but I am actually looking for ward to it. I also expect people who look at the blog to participate.
Now, onto the blog itself. This blog can be used for many different things, but the majority of topics will be based upon controversy in sports. It can be any sport, anything from the great sport in the world, which is american football to... lets say soccer... See I might have already caused a conroversy. Anyways, feel free to post and reply on anything that might come up. I will be making posts every couple of days.

Now onto this weeks controversy and something I am very passionate about. That is, as I already mentioned football, and for all intensive purposes football on this blog is always known as American football. The patriots lost and now the world is right, or is it? The question of the week is: Is Bill Belichick leaving the Super Bowl just 1 second early a big deal? Personally, I haven't seen such a poor sport in all my life, but it seems to me that sports media is giving him a free pass? If anyother coach in the entire NFL had done this he would have been murdered. When Lebron James left the court 3 seconds early he got killed. Rand Moss? Killed, but from some reason when Belicheat does it no one says a word. Why does the media give him so many free passes? So... You tell me American... Or the two people that look at this.
