When an injured NHL player doesn’t take time off, he’s not only hurting himself, but his team as well. By not being as physically ready as he can be, he’s limiting himself in what he can do, and holding back another healthier (and probably younger) player from having his shot to become a playoff hero.

Albert Pujols is getting slammed by the national media for a horrendous start to both the 2012 season as well as his massive contract. With just one home run to speak of almost a quarter of the way into the season, we’re all wondering what’s wrong? Is this a poor adjustment to Anaheim? Is age catching up with him at a breakneck speed?

Chase Headley calls himself a “Saved by the Bell” trivia whiz. Fitting, since his Step by Step progression and marked Home Improvement has allowed him to finally shed his Growing Pains and Blossom as a rising star in San Diego. Who’s The Boss now?

The life of the outfielder is a lonely one. Without any teammates around to chat with between plays, the outfielder is left with no recourse other than to make friendly with the fans. Jeff Francoeur understands this, and his lesson is one that outfielders throughout the league would be wise to learn.

The Big East Conference is suffering terribly. Teams are fleeing at a break-neck pace and most recently, commissioner John Marinatto has also jumped ship. It’s a tumultuous time for the Big East, and nobody knows whether or not the conference (or the schools involved) will have significant involvement in the top level college football programs.

Michael Lewis’ 2003 book “Moneyball” changed the way many baseball fans considered team management, much like how Billy Beane himself changed the GM position. In 2011, the book was adapted for Hollywood with superstar actor Brad Pitt taking on the lead role, but does he and director Bennett Miller do justice to this real-life story?

David Ortiz is anything but finished. After years of slow starts, he’s redefined his approach at the plate – particularly against lefties – and is tearing it up in Boston. For the first time in years, 30 home runs won’t be a unexpected surprise, it will be a baseline expectation.
