And onward and upward we go. Here’s what’s rumored to be happening in the sports world:

Should NBC Have Mentioned That Olympic Diver Matthew Mitcham Was Gay?

This week’s installment of For Argument’s Sake is the last time I’m going to discuss the Olympics. It’s been about three weeks of Olympics this and Olympics that and I’m ready for something new … football, perhaps?
Anyway, NBC is getting some flack for failing to mention that diver Matthew Mitcham, an Australian gold medal […]

Should Strahan Stay or Go?

Michael Strahan could very well have his own “the hall of fame quarterback who shall not be named” moment.
That’s right. Strahan is considering a return to the New York Giants for one last farewell season. What is it about the lure of “just one more?”

What Was The Greatest Performance Of The 2008 Olympics?

The 2008 Beijing Olympics ended in extravagant and borderline audacious fashion last night. Two weeks went by in the blink of an eye. So what Olympic performance will stick with you the most?
Was it Michael Phelps achieving his goal of winning eight gold medals?
Was it Shawn Johnson’s performance on the beam, in which she […]

U.S. Leading Brazil 1 - 0

The gold medal match for women’s soccer is in progress. The U.S. just scored a goal and now lead with only a few minutes of extra time to go.
If they pull off this win, it’s going to be a HUGE upset. Everyone thought that without Abby Wambach, the U.S. wouldn’t be able to beat […]

R.I.P. Gene Upshaw

NFL football Hall of Famer, Gene Upshaw, has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.
I saw this on my breaking news updates and was immediately sadden. Upshaw was not only an amazing football player, he was also instrumental in advancing the rights of NFL players through his longtime position as the Executive Director of […]

Was Alicia Sacramone Robbed By The Judges?

This week’s installment of For Argument’s Sake centers on gymnastics. I’ll be honest. I don’t pay any attention to gymnastics at any other time during the year … well, during the last four years actually.
