Vince Young is Steamin!

Vince Young has been shrouded in controversy for the past six months, and even though Tennessee is 5-0, it has become apparent that Young is steamin!

Find out why...

49 College Football Observations from Week 5  

There were some big time college football matchups this weekend, as well as some huge upsets, and I tried to watch them all. As I was watching, I made observations on the teams and players. All told, 49 observations covering 10 games, including USC/Oregon State, Florida/Ole Miss, Georgia/Alabama, and more.

34 College Football Observations from Week 3  

Every Saturday, after a hard week's work, I just want to be able to sit on the couch and flip back and forth through college football games for the entirety of the day. Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be able to do so.

I watched several games that were televised throughout the day on Saturday (as well as Friday night's game), and unlike last week there were some big matchups and some true battles. Here are 34 observations about certain players and teams from 13 games I was able to see:

Rays Call Up 'King David' Price; Could Debut Saturday

The Tampa Bay (no longer Devil) Rays have called up last year's #1 overall pick David Price.

Price, who was called up along with Jonny Gomes, Mitch Talbot, and Jeff Niemann, could possibly make his debut Saturday during Tampa's doubleheader against the Yankees, according to St. Petersburg Times's Marc Topkin.

Week 2 College Football Observations

I watched several of the college football games that were televised throughout the day on Saturday. There were some good games, some blowouts, some close calls, and another upset for East Carolina.

Here, observations about teams and players from Saturday's games. Over 20 teams discussed.

The Blue Workhorse Week 1 College Football Top 25

The first week of the collegiate football season offered some intrigue as we got our first look at most of the teams and were able to get our first true idea of who could be contenders this season and who was nothing more than a pretender (Clemson, Pittsburgh).

After being able to evaluate some of the teams better than we had in the preseason, we give you our new The Blue Workhorse College Football Top 25 after Week 1.

Some things to note from this week's rankings:

* After being just outside our Top 25 last week, Alabama springs into the Top 25 and all the way up to 13th after their dismantle of Tommy Bowden's Clemson Tigers.

* Unlike the AP poll, Clemson still makes our Top 25 after being dominated by Alabama. However, the Tigers fall 13 spots from 9th to 22nd.

* Our top 7 remained in tact from our preseason poll, but Texas earned just enough points to overtake Auburn for the #8 spot.

Here's to You: Rocco Baldelli

Rocco Baldelli has returned to play for Tampa Bay after contemplating retirement due to a mitochondrial disorder and has become one of the best stories in baseball this year for the team that is the best story in baseball this season.

Give Sabathia the No-Hitter, Cy Young & maybe MVP

C.C. Sabathia was incredible Sunday afternoon against the Pirates pitching a complete game shutout allowing only one controversial hit. We say he deserves the no-hitter, the Cy Young, and maybe even the MVP.

Sunday Sports Selections: StatBeast

In the Sunday Sports Selection series, we showcase a sports-related product (gadget, book, film, equipment, etc.) that we have enjoyed and think you may find of interest as well.

I receive e-mails occasionally from sports companies that are either interested in advertisements or having us promote their products or web site. I typically will at least give the company or web site a look over to determine if they have anything that is of interest for our web site or our readers.

Earlier today, I received an e-mail from a representative of a company by the name of StatBeast (www.statbeast.com).

According to their web site, StatBeast, founded in February of last year, is "The World Leader in Online Sports Statistics." They are a relatively new web site that offers interactive stat content for web sites and blogs. They offer a variety of widgets and other data tools, which are readily available for usage.

Here is an example:

["allowScriptAccess":"always","allowNetworking":"all","src":"http://www.statbeas t.com/Widget/StatBeastWidget.swf?wid=1058&bid=1"]

They currently only have NFL widgets available. (Available categories include Schedules, Standings, Compare Stats, Player Stats, Team Stats, and Vegas Baby!) However, they appear to have plans for baseball, basketball, hockey, boxing, soccer, and NASCAR data tools in the future.

Besides a widget for MLB standings to help me keep up with the pennant races, I would be really interested in some type of widget that had a top 25 poll for college football or if there was a weekly schedule for NFL or college football.

You can use the widgets if you have a web site, blog, or even some type of editable social networking profile, such as MySpace or Facebook, so feel free to check out StatBeast, and add your favorite NFL team's schedule, standings for their division, or Superbowl odds for all 32 teams.
