- Phony sports
headlines (08/14/2003)
We're always hearing the same basic sports stories with different characters
in slightly modified situations. Tired of the monotony, Jamey delivers more
interesting headlines, such as, "REELING TIGERS NO-HIT...DURING BATTING
PRACTICE."
- Baseball's overdue
correction (08/07/2003)
The carelessly excessive spending that polluted baseball for so
long has forced many owners and GMs to eat immovable contracts to cut costs this
season. Jamey says it's both refreshing and reassuring to see team execs finally paying for their past mistakes.
- History says Kobe's
image will survive (07/31/2003)
Foretelling the demise of Kobe Bryant's love affair with NBA consumers has become chic in the wake of the sexual assault charges filed against the Lakers guard, but
Jamey says fans have proven they're willing to look past the personal problems of star athletes like Bryant and Jason Kidd.
- Retouching J-Lo and
Junior (07/24/2003)
Inspired by rumors that Jennifer Lopez had her prominent booty downsized on
the movie posters for "Gigli," Jamey looks at some athletes who
would benefit from a little retouching of their own, including Ken Griffey
Jr. and Phil Mickelson.
- Lost the Edge (07/17/2003)
While everybody's focused on LaDainian Tomlinson, Ricky Williams and Priest
Holmes, Jamey says two-time rushing champ Edgerrin James will remind us all
why he was considered the best running back in the AFC just two years ago.
- The right decisions for Payton and Malone?
(07/10/2003)
Gary Payton and Karl Malone reportedly will sign bargain contracts with the
Lakers for a chance at a championship. While Jamey says seeing marquee
players give up the bling for the ring is refreshing, he wonders if their
plan will actually work.
- To be or not to be
(patient) (07/02/2003)
Patient running backs deliver 1,000-yard seasons and patient hitters hover
around .300, but Jamey says that fans, who want to win now, don't have the
patience to wait on upside and potential. That's bad news for LeBron James.
- As good as it gets
for Tiger? (06/11/2003)
Because he hasn't won a major since last year, everybody says Tiger Woods is
in a slump. But Jamey wonders if what we're now seeing from Tiger,
undoubtedly a great golfer, is merely the norm rather than a slump.
- No sympathy for
Steinbrenner (06/04/2003)
The Boss is unhappy again, only this time George Steinbrenner is upset with
baseball's schedule makers, saying they treat the Yankees unfairly. But for
some reason, Jamey has a hard time feeling sorry for George.
- Too good to be true?
Nah (05/27/2003)
For years, conspiracy theorists have been claiming that the NBA Draft
Lottery is fixed. But now that the league's sorriest team actually landed
the first pick this year, Jamey wonders why everybody's still
suspicious.
- We were the
champions (05/22/2003)
Even though we know better, Jamey says we tend to attribute our sports heroes and champions with a certain level of immortality, which makes it almost shocking when a team like the Lakers actually loses a playoff series.
- Lucky lotto numbers
(05/15/2003)
It's the most uneventful NBA event ever, the Draft Lottery, but this year
Jamey says it qualifies as "Must See TV" as 13 teams all have
hopes of landing perhaps the hottest prospect in the history of organized
sports, LeBron James.
- Watered-down
pitching & watered-down records (05/08/2003)
Everybody's talking about the depreciating value of baseball's
once-prestigious 500 Home Run Club, a topic Jamey covered two years ago.
With some updated stats, Jamey revisits his past column and looks at this
issue again.
- Inside the numbers
(04/23/2003)
Like any baseball junkie, Jamey loves stat hunting early in the season
because he always uncovers some remarkable numbers, like J.T. Snow's league
leading RBI total, Randy Johnson's 8.31 ERA and the 41 team steals by the
Florida Marlins.
- Griffey...hurt? That
didn't take long (04/10/2003)
As Ken Griffey Jr. and Vince Carter have proven yet again, talent means nothing if you never have the chance to use it. With Junior and Vince once again on the shelf,
Jamey wonders if they'll ever again be the superstars they once were.
- Take me back to the
ballgame (04/02/2003)
The 2003 baseball season is finally here, and after a few weeks off Jamey's
ready to give his predictions for the upcoming year. Who wins the AL Wild
Card? Who takes the NL Central crown? Who will meet in the World Series? Who
gets hurt first, Juan Gonzalez or Ken Griffey Jr.? Jamey's got the
answers.
- From the prom to the
playoffs (02/25/2003)
While Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady give hope to high school
hoopsters who dream of jumping to the NBA, Jamey says history tells us that
this trio is the exception to the rule.
- From the "who
cares" department... (02/18/2003)
With nothing of much significance going on in the world of sports right now,
Jamey says most of the headlines are yawners, including Tiger's spat with
Lefty and all the bogus NBA trade rumors.
- The end is here (02/10/2003)
Michael Jordan delivered some more memorable moments during the 2003 NBA
All-Star game, but Jamey says it was still painfully clear that the time has
come for MJ and his wagging tongue to call it a career.
- Until we meet again
(02/04/2003)
Jamey finishes his review of the 2002 NFL season, pondering questions like
why is Terrell Davis talking comeback, why is Angie Harmon still with Jason
Sehorn, and why the hell did Rodney Peete start 14 games for the Panthers?
- Hey, I never claimed
to be a psychic (01/28/2003)
Unwilling to completely let go of the 2002 NFL campaign after such a boring
Super Bowl, Jamey looks back at some of the things he thought he knew before
the season started.
- Two superstars are
better than one (01/21/2003)
Prompted by a reader to turn his attention toward the NBA, Jamey wonders how
so many people are already counting out Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and
the three-time champion LA Lakers.
- Late-game leniency?
(01/15/2003)
Bill Cowher says referee Ron Blum shouldn't have taken a win away from his
Steelers with a late penalty, but Jamey says the call was right regardless
of when it was made.
- This one's for all
the marbles (01/08/2003)
Jamey says that, thanks to one play in each of their respective games, the
Buckeyes, Steelers and 49ers all ended up on the victorious end of some
extremely close scores last weekend.
- Rooting for the
underDawgs (12/31/2002)
Nobody's giving the Buckeyes and Browns much of a chance this weekend
against the Hurricanes and Steelers, but Jamey says with the way underdogs
have been playing recently the two Ohio teams could surprise.
- It's that time of
year again (12/19/2002)
The holidays are here, and Jamey again delivers a rendition of the classic poem
"'Twas the Night Before Christmas," complete with a strong sports flavor.
- Two painful losses
(12/11/2002)
Once the symbol of the New England Patriots, Drew Bledsoe is now the leader
of the Buffalo Bills. Failing in two chances to extract revenge from his
former team this season, Jamey says Bledsoe will now have to wait until next
year to prove himself.
- A new home for Thome
(12/05/2002)
Since money seems to talk much louder than loyalty in sports these days,
Jamey's not really surprised that Jim Thome left Cleveland for Philadelphia.
He just wishes the first baseman had been a little more honest with his
former fans.
- Handing off the
torch in Dallas (11/20/2002)
Jamey says now that Emmitt Smith has his rushing record to go along with an
MVP and three Super Bowl rings, it's time for the Dallas Cowboys to finally
get a long look at the younger Troy Hambrick.
- Living out a fantasy
(11/13/2002)
Some people may not understand it and his wife certainly doesn't like it,
but Jamey is an admitted fantasy sports geek...and he knows he's not alone.
- Barry's last chance?
(10/31/2002)
Following San Francisco's World Series loss to the Anaheim Angels, Jamey
says Barry Bonds may never again have the opportunity to shed the "no
championship" label that's haunted so many other great athletes, past
and present.
- Try handing the ball
off, knucklehead! (10/24/2002)
The Rams are 2-5 and the champion Patriots have dropped three-straight....
Hey, Jamey's got an idea for Mike Martz and Bill Belichick: Give the ball to
Marshall Faulk and Antowain Smith 25 times per game and see what happens.
- Around the sports
world in 1,000 words (10/17/2002)
Jamey, who's always been somewhat "long-winded" behind a computer
screen, tries to run through as many sports topics as he can in just 1,000
words. Can he succeed?
- A lesson in
investing, NFL style (10/09/2002)
Looking back at the 1999 NFL draft, Jamey examines the quarterback class
that supposedly would rival the legendary 1983 class of John Elway, Jim
Kelly and Dan Marino. The results obviously aren't pretty.
- Cleveland sports: A
cruel joke (10/03/2002)
The Cleveland Sports Curse is alive and well, having already cost the Browns
two wins in four games this year. Jamey, a life-long Cleveland fan, wonders
if this unbearable curse will ever be lifted.
- A mystery wrapped in
a criminal record (09/26/2002)
With so many people calling for the Vikings to release Randy Moss following
his "traffic problem," Jamey wonders if fans would be more
forgiving if Moss were performing at a higher level on the field.
- It's do or die
already? (09/18/2002)
With the Rams and Steelers staring down the barrel of identical 0-2 records,
Jamey says it's not too early to start talking about "must-wins"
as we head into the third week of the NFL schedule.
- 365 days ago (09/11/2002)
It's been one year since the tragic events of 9/11, and while the initial
shock has gradually worn off the painful memories from that day remain.
Jamey remembers how family, friends and his love of sports helped him heal.
- The owners aren't
blameless (08/29/2002)
He tried to avoid it, but Jamey once again talks about the potential baseball strike, saying that while the players have been the target of most of the public criticism, the owners
absolutely deserve some of the blame too.
- The results are in
(08/22/2002)
Jamey reveals the voting results of his personal baseball boycott column
from two weeks ago, complete with some great reader commentary!
- Rock the vote (08/07/2002)
Jamey needs your help. If baseball strikes he's not going to boycott the game; instead, he's going to boycott a particular player. Take a couple minutes to read through his list of candidates then place your vote.
- Sunday (touchdown)
drives (08/01/2002)
With NFL training camps finally underway and baseball's labor issues out of control,
Jamey turns his attention to football, listing 10 things we know heading into the season, 10 things we don't know and 10 things we may
never know.
- Who still loves this
game? (07/25/2002)
Even with the temporary return of Michael Jordan, the NBA's glory days are long gone.
Jamey tries to figure out why the league's popularity has plummeted so dramatically in recent years, pointing to Allen Iverson's arrest and the Eastern Conference's inferiority as a couple
of potential reasons.
- I promise, no more
Yankees...after this (07/17/2002)

decided to revisit the Yankees' financial advantages and the overall
declining stature of baseball in general.
- Yankees fans respond
(07/10/2002)

from loyal pinstripers, Jamey responds to a couple messages from irate
Yankee fans.

Bronx life (07/03/2002)
Witnessing firsthand the rebuilding process in Cleveland, Jamey professes
his hatred for the New York Yankees and George Steinbrenner's insanely deep
pockets.
- Burn, baby, burn
(06/28/2002)
With the trade of Bartolo Colon to the Expos, the Cleveland Indians have
officially kick-started a rebuilding process, a move that Jamey says will
pay off in the long run for all Tribe fans.
- Sarcasm at its
finest (06/27/2002)
Jamey wonders if all these dressed-up schemes designed to generate increased fan interest, including this Sunday's
"MLB All Star Selection Show," will honestly help baseball repair its faltering public image.

(06/20/2002)

Jamey says it has been increasingly difficult for pitchers to use the inside part of the plate.

damage done (06/12/2002)

and added muscle.

like this Mike (06/05/2002)
Jamey looks at the phenomenon that is Mike Tyson and hopes that a sound beating at the hands of Lennox Lewis will finally end our
enduring fascination with the disturbed former champ.

the Cavs (05/29/2002)
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a pitiful team, and Jamey says it will only get
worse if they trade star point guard Andre Miller.
- Will work for
receptions (05/23/2002)
Ryan Leaf can find another job but Chris Carter can't? Jamey says that,
while Carter's intense desire to win was certainly a great asset on the
field, it may have cost him his 16th and final NFL season.
- No way, Jose (05/15/2002)
Jose Canseco just retired, and despite Jamey's previous efforts to dispel
his supposed Hall of Fame credentials, there are still people who say the
former Bash Brother is Cooperstown-worthy.
- Welcome back (05/01/2002)
Jamey wonders why so many sports fans find it necessary to boo former hometown players when they come back wearing different uniforms, guys like Jason Giambi in Oakland, Roger Clemens in Boston and even Michael Jordan in Chicago.
- Promise vs.
proficiency: where's the payoff? (04/24/2002)

and production.

reason? (04/17/2002)

(04/11/2002)

past few days.
- A great dunker, but
not a great player (03/27/2002)

and Kobe Bryant over Air Canada.

to ourselves (03/20/2002)

epidemic (03/13/2002)

love? After talking to a few professional athletes, he thinks there may be
cause for concern.

(02/27/2002)

working very well.
- It's a baseball
party, but who invited you? (02/20/2002)

Earthwind Moreland, Dick Such and Josh Lovelady.
- Return
of the King. Yuck (02/06/2002)
After falling just
short last year, the Yankees should have the World Series locked up in

pinstriped October.

in the boxing ring (01/30/2002)

investments (07/24/2001)
