Why Not Sproles?

“He’s too small!”  We hear that all of the time and it’s a pile of horse crap.  Ray Rice got the majority of touches for the Ravens this year and he’s only 5’8… Sproles is 5’6!  Pound for pound, Sproles is the strongest Charger on the team and has the nickname “Tank” for a reason.  [ READ MORE ]

Thank’s for the Memories LT!

In case you have not heard, Ladainian Tomlinson was released by the San Diego Chargers today.  It saddens me to see him go, but in the end, I truly think it is time for the Chargers and LT to part ways.  By no means do I think LT is done.  He had career lows in [ READ MORE ]

Reggie’s Kids and Scott’s Totts Have Something in Common!

Manning’s 4th MVP is Good for The Bolts!

I like Peyton Manning and love the way he plays the game, but we all know he did not deserve the ’09 MVP… especially since he started off ’09 by losing to P-Riv and the Bolts.  That being said, this is good for San Diego and the Chargers considering this is one part of the [ READ MORE ]

The results in this literature are strikingly consistent. No matter what cities or geographical areas are examined, no matter what estimators are used, no matter what model specifications are used, and no matter what variables are used, articles published inpeer-reviewed economics journals contain almost no evidence that professional sports franchises and facilities have a measurable economic impact on the economy[ READ MORE ]
