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

The NFL lockout is over and in the end both sides seems to get some winnings to boast about to all. Fans can now breath a sigh of relief and get those fantasy draft lists ready. 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.

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.

Code of Honor - The SFB Podcast (3/6/2011).....

BYU suspended its center, Brandon Davies, for violating the school's honor code and more people seemed to question the code itself and the school's thinking in damaging their chances at an NCAA Championship, than applauded BYU for showing the integrity to do the right thing and ignoring what his suspension would mean to the basketball team. We'll look at the BYU decision and why I wish more people/teams/schools would follow their lead. Plus a look around the other sport stories of the week. Enjoy.

Will Fans Take a Stand? - The SFB Podcast 2/20/2011.....

The last time a major sport had a work stoppage was 2004 with the NHL and before that was in 1994 with MLB. Those were much different economic times than we are in now. With the NFL & NBA ongoing labor disputes possibly turning into lockouts and later the possibility of lost games, will the regular fans in these tough economic times turn their backs on these billion dollar games when they return? Hard to say, but I'm not sure I would chance it. Plus, NASCAR needs some character. Enjoy.

Big Hits / Smaller League - The SFB Podcast (10/23/2010).....

NFL looking at big hits has been the most covered story this week. Is the NFL going too far or are they correct? Personally, I think a little of both. Also, we have one World Series team in the Texas Rangers, while the NL team will be determined this weekend. Plus, the NBA commissioner is talking about salary reductions and possibly contracting teams. Enjoy.

Let's Play Two (more) - The SFB Podcast (8/27/2010).....

When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants something, he usually gets it, and although not a done deal, it sure does look like the NFL will start playing 18 regular season games starting with the 2012 season. Putting aside whether this is good or not for the league, it sure will have an effect on the other sports and television schedules / viewing. I'll take a look at those effects.

Plus, Stephen Strasburg will be needing Tommy John surgery, and while this is bad news, it is not terrible news. Also, Tiger comes back to the pack at The Barclays, Payton Manning doesn't like a new NFL rule, Albert Pujols hits home run number 400 of his career and Pete Rose is giving Roger Clemens advice. Enjoy.
