Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s news is very much about ego. We have a quarterback sick of taking criticism, a maniacal owner doing whatever he pleases, a coach playing mind games and a former pro wrestler playing heel again. Sounds like fun.<\/p>\n
NFL News: Kurt Warner not enjoying football anymore; Tom Cable not coaching football anymore?<\/strong><\/p>\n We had a feeling it was true after seeing Kurt Warner openly discuss being \u201cscared\u201d to get hit in the head earlier this season and even accusing opponents of going after his head. Now, it\u2019s confirmed: Kurt Warner is checked out. In an interview with ESPN\u2019s Rick Reilly, Warner claimed that he no longer finds football fun. He\u2019s apparently tired of the pressure and can\u2019t enjoy his success either since it\u2019s \u201cexpected\u201d of him. Sad to see him go….but we\u2019re not supposed to feel sorry for him, are we?<\/p>\n Only the Oakland Raiders would (a) keep Tom Cable on their roster all season despite the myriad of assault allegations following him around and (b) start looking for a replacement with Cable still on the roster. Allegedly, all Davis has secretly chatted with UFL champion (and former New York Giants) head coach Jim Fassel and Marc Trestman, head coach of the CFL champion Montreal Alouettes. Leave it to Davis to search outside the NFL for coaching help.<\/p>\n MLB news: Angels win the Pineiro sweepstakes<\/strong><\/p>\n In what I believe is one of the most underrated moves this offseason, the Los Angeles Angels have inked starting pitcher Joel Pineiro to a two-year deal worth $16 million. Over the last decade, Pineiro has gone from mega prospect to bust to stud. Because he completely changed his game and became baseball\u2019s best ground ball pitcher this side of Brandon Webb last season, I like his chances to remain in the stud category. The ability to induce groundballs often doesn\u2019t \u201cslump.\u201d Methinks the Angels will be happy with the signing and, should the Mariners and Rangers pass them in the standings this year, Pineiro\u2019s two-year deal won\u2019t be too tough to unload. NCAA basketball news: Baylor\u2019s pre-game antics anger Kansas<\/strong><\/p>\n Baylor and powerhouse Kansas didn\u2019t just treat us to a close game yesterday (an 81-75 win for Kansas); they treated us to a petty clash of egos straight out of an episode of\u00a0Glee <\/em>or something. Did you know that Drew Brees watches that show?<\/p>\n Uh, anyway, Kansas is famous for its lavish, self-indulgent player introductions, which are highlighted by a two-minute jumbotron video chronicling the program\u2019s history. Baylor head coach Scott Drew decided he wanted no part of it. Claiming his players couldn\u2019t hear him, he led them into a tunnel during Kansas\u2019 pre-show. The Jayhawks, especially coach Bill Self, were shocked and offended that Baylor wouldn\u2019t marvel in their brilliance.<\/p>\n It didn\u2019t quite work \u2013 Kansas still got the win \u2013 but my hat goes off to Coach Drew. The stunt was worth a shot and, judging by how much it incensed the Jayhawks, it seems like it almost worked.<\/p>\n UFC news: Brock Lesnar is BACK<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you follow mixed martial arts or think of it as a glorified version of the WWE, Brock Lesnar is probably the one guy in the sport that we all can\u2019t help but watch. Well, it looks like his career isn\u2019t over after all. In recent months, doctors thought the reigning UFC heavyweight champion would never fight again because of a serious case of diverticulitis that likely required surgery. Instead, the ailment has miraculously disappeared, meaning Lesnar is cleared to return this summer and start busting heads again. Don\u2019t be surprised if his next bout is a rubber match with hated rival Frank Mir.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Thursday January 21st, 2010.
