Jacksonville Fires Del Rio Also The Team Is Being Sold

Jack Del Rio has been the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach since 2003, however he paid on Tuesday for not making the NFL playoffs since 2007. The Jaguars are currently 3-8 and playing with a rookie starting quarterback. More importantly the team was sold and now Del Rio was fired. This is probably the first of many NFL head coaches being fired, he's the first coach to be fired in season during the 2011 campaign. Del Rio was a former NFL linebacker and assistant coach prior to becoming a head coach. Many wonder where do the Jaguars go from here, from a franchise standpoint. Could the Jaguars be on the move to another city, who knows. The team struggles to fill their stadium during home games and have suffered through several local blackouts on television during home games.

Syracuse Fires Assistant Baketball Coach Bernie Fine After Molestation Charges

Bernie Fine was hired by Syracuse as an assistant men's basketball coach in 1976. Head coach Jim Boeheim made Fine his lead assistant. Now weeks after the Penn State football molestation charges, Syracuse has been hit with the same news. About a week after being put on administrative leave, Fine was fired this week. Several adults who were young men at the time of these alleged molestation acts, finally came out to tell their story. One young man was a ball boy who says he was molested. Similar to Penn State, now Syracuse has plenty of media on campus to cover the breaking news. The former Syracuse ball boy was turned away in 2002 by the police when he tried to tell his side of the story. Day by day the stories get more gruesome. Let's see what the future holds in this case and for head coach Jim Boeheim.

Eli Manning's New York Football Giants Have Chance To Put Away Vince Young Philadelphia Eagle Dream Team

The Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Vince Young this off season to backup Michael Vick, during training camp Young labeled his new team the 'Dream Team' a label this has stuck with the under achieving 3-6 football team throughout the season. Philadelphia basically after losing to Arizona and backup quarterback John Skelton at home last week have been left for dead in terms of postseason play. Vick broke two ribs in that game and has not practiced all week. Young gets his chance Sunday Night at MetLife Stadium to back his Dream Team statement up. Eli Manning has led an injured Giant team to a 6-3 record and first place in the NFC East, including a 29-16 win in Philadelphia during week 3. The Giants could kill all the Eagles slim playoff hopes by giving them their 7Th lost prior to Thanksgiving. I'm sure in New York after last season Miracle At The Meadowlands II, it would be extremely gratifying. Young will be making his first start since November 2010 as a Titan, he threw one pass this season an interception versus Washington. We'll see what he has vs. New York, meanwhile he's 2-0 lifetime versus the G Men. Note to Andy Reid run the football with Mc Coy since the Eagles will be without Vick and maybe Maclin. Note to Giants finish this team off while you have the chance.

NBA Lockout Most Of The Public Just Don't Care

Let's see it's been well over one hundred days since the current NBA lockout has began. Most of the public simply don't care, they are more concerned right now with UFC, college basketball & football, NHL and as always the NFL. Eventually the owners and players will come to their senses and make an agreement. Until then sports fans most of them will occupy themselves with other sports that aren't locked out. The NFL was able to get it together without missing any regular season games during their lockout this past spring. The NBA has already cancelled games through mid December. Prior to that summer leagues were cancelled as well. Throw the preseason schedule in their as well. If both sides are able to reach a deal could their be another 50 game season, similar to previous lockout in 1998-99. Only time will tell.

Pacquiao / Mayweather I Dont Think It'll Ever Happen

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are regarded as the top two pound for pound boxers in the sport. Nevertheless the boxers and their promoters can never ever get on the same page to give the boxing fans and public the only true fight they desire to see. I truly believe the mega million dollar fight, will never happen. There are several reasons why, where do I begin. Pacquiao is no longer just a boxer he's an elected official now back in the Philippines, along with being a singer and actor. Manny is represented by Top Rank while Floyd is represented by Golden Boy. Will the likes of Bob Arum and Oscar De La Hoya be able to sit down and hash out a deal to bring the fight to life. I really can't see it happening, if it has not already happened to this point. Both fighters continue to take the fans money in Las Vegas and through pay per view to fight other opponents. Pacquiao and his camp led by Freddie Roach, and Mayweather Jr. and his camp led by Roger Mayweather, throw more jabs and counter punches outside the ring, verbally through the media, then they have in the ring with each other.

Smoking Joe Frazier Laid To Rest

Last week boxing loss a legend, Joe Frazier died after his brief battle with liver cancer. Meanwhile in his adopted hometown of Philadelphia,PA Frazier would lay in state for two days at the Wells Fargo Center, which allowed fans to pay their final respects to the man who gave Muhammad Ali his first defeat. The two fighters good, bad or indifferent will always be forever linked in and out of the ring, beside their trilogy of ring wars. Frazier had a funeral in Philadelphia at Enon Baptist Church, then his body was finally laid to rest back in South Carolina his original home state. Ali was in Philadelphia along with other boxers to pay their final respects. May Joe Frazier rest in peace.

Iowa State Defeat #2 Oklahoma State To Scramble BCS

Friday evening, Iowa State hosted previously undefeated and number two ranked Oklahoma State in a Big 12 match up. The Cowboys had been running through opponents all season with their high powered offense. The Cowboys were on the verge of a possible National Champion Game appearance, if they were able to win out the remainder of their schedule. Iowa State would have none of that, once down 24-7 Iowa State would mount a second half comeback, which led to overtime. The Cyclones would go on to defeat the Cowboys 37-31 in a double overtime thriller. Cyclone fans begin to storm the field once the game was completed. Obviously this is the schools biggest victory in quite sometime, more importantly what does the lost do to the BCS standings. Will Alabama have a rematch with LSU in the National Championship Game, now that Oklahoma State has lost or will another team sneak into the title mix. Only time along with voters will tell.
