Kurt Warner Named Cardinals Starting Quarterback


When Arizona plays division rival San Francisco September 7th, Kurt Warner will be the starting quarterback.

Here's Coach Ken Whisenhunt talking about the difficult decision.


That's a great call by coach Ken Whisenhunt. I've always been a Kurt Warner fan. He's one of the greatest sucess stories in NFL History. I've never been a Matt Leinart fan. To me, it looks like he thinks that everything should be given to him.

Kurt Warner threw for the most 300 yard games last season. Arizona would have been better than 8-8 if their defense had improved.

Can Kurt Warner finally lead the Cardinals to a place they haven't seen in Ten Seasons, the playoffs? If San Francisco falters again, that could become a possibility.

Nastia Liukin, Brian Clay To Appear on Wheaties Boxes



Congratulations to Nastia Liukin and Brian Clay, as both Gold medal winners will now appear on "The Breakfast Of Champions", Wheaties.

Where's Shawn Johnson's Wheaties Box? She played great as well, and maybe we should give the "Redeem Team" their own Wheaties Box.

NFL Clears Pacman to Play for Cowboys



It was a dangerous move for Jerry Jones to lure Adam Jones to Dallas, but if Pacman helps Dallas get past the first round of the playoffs, I'm sure all Cowboys fans will come on board.

The Dallas Cowboys open the 2008 season against the Cleveland Browns.

Shawne Merriman Will Forgo Knee Surgery This Season



Shawne Merriman's putting his career on the line for the sake of the San Diego Chargers. Hopefully, the injury doesn't hamper him too much, and hopefully he is able to play the full season without making the injury worse.

Speaking of the NFL:
Next Thurday Night Is Opening Night! The Super Bowl Champion New York Giants Open the season against their NFC East rival Washington Redskins. Watch it on NBC!

Baseball to Start Using Instant Replay Thursday

MLB Instant Replay To Start On Thursday


Expect to see less of this, Starting Thursday.


Baseball has finally caught up with the times.


Major League Baseball will allow umpires to check video on home run calls in series that start Thursday.

Three series are scheduled to start Thursday, with Philadelphia at the Chicago Cubs, Minnesota at Oakland and Texas at the Los Angeles Angels. For other games, replays will be available to umpires starting Friday.

For now, video will be used only on so-called "boundary calls," such as determining whether fly balls went over the fence, whether potential home runs were fair or foul and whether there was fan interference on potential home runs.


Good to see that Baseball is catching up with the times. For those who say "this will make baseball even longer now" I think It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as they get the calls right, especially as we head into October with the Postseason and the World Series!

Here's ESPN's Buster Olney on MLB's decision to start using instant replay with series starting on Thursday.
