Welcome back NFL - The SportsFan Buzz (7/28/2011).....

Day to day NFL workers, not in pads, can get their jobs and paychecks back. We'll take a quick look at the settlement and what is there that fans will notice and maybe not notice.

Woods fires Williams - The SportsFan Buzz (7/22/2011).....

Tiger Woods, in cleaning house and trying to start over, fired his caddie of 12 years Steve Williams and Williams isn't happy about it. In an interview Williams stated he was upset with the troubles Tiger got into, disapproved of those troubles and said so to Tiger. Some are saying Williams should just be quiet and count the money he earned because of Tiger. Why does Williams getting rich because of Tiger mean he must lose his moral compass?

Women's Equality - The SportsFan Buzz (7/20/2011).....

Why do we treat our women's teams with kid gloves when they lose, when if the same thing happened to a men's team, the pundits would have a field day. Bryant Gumbel pointed this out in wondering about the "it's OK attitude" towards the Women's World Cup team in its loss to Japan. Know what? He is right and its not just with this soccer team, but in all women's sports. The women deserve better.

Lessons Learned - The SportsFan Buzz (7/7/2011).....

So now the Oregon Ducks football program has caught the NCAA's eye after a story has surfaced about possible violations revolving around a scouting service. I don't care about the allegations as much as I want to see how Oregon's staff handles it. Will Coach Chip Kelly learn from the Jim Tressell mess at Ohio State and make sure he holds nothing back? Also, Bruce Pearl tries to explain those "couple of misstated answers" he gave to the NCAA.

Labor Lockouts - The SportsFan Buzz (7/1/2011).....

The NBA has now joined the NFL in locking out its players because of a labor dispute. As always, the arguements are over how to split each leagues' revenue. That is the similarity between the two disputes and it ends there. How both are beign negotiated and eventually settled, will be as different as night and day.
