Another week and another buffet spread of great performances from which to choose. I have always enjoyed the sports story that includes a chip-on-the-shoulder theme. Whether it's an individual or an entire team, it makes no difference. USF's B.J. Daniels played Saturday's game versus Florida State with a chip the size of the sunshine state on his shoulder. Growing up and … [Read more...] about Performance Of The Week | 9/21 – 9/27

Performance Of The Week 9/14-9/20
Some records are made to be broken. Others are meant to be tied. At least that was the case yesterday at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Jahvid Best led the Calfornia Golden Bears to a road victory over the Minnesota Gophers, 35-21. Best's effort earns my POTW. Best rushed for 131 yards on 26 carries - an average of 5 yards per carry. But that doesn't earn the … [Read more...] about Performance Of The Week 9/14-9/20
Performance Of The Week | 9/7 – 9/13
Plenty of outstanding performances to choose from this week. I am giving credit where credit is due and handing Tate Forcier my POTW.

The native of San Diego also proved he could get … [Read more...] about Performance Of The Week | 9/7 – 9/13
Performance Of The Week | 8/31- 9/6
Wednesday afternoon, Aaron Boone gave new meaning to the phrase - 'warning track power.' Yeah, Boone went 0-3 against the Chicago Cubs, and when the game was over his average stood at .000, but the Houston Astro first baseman grabs my POTW. On March 26th of this year Boone had open-heart surgery to repair a cogenital defect in his aortic valve. Five months later, Boone … [Read more...] about Performance Of The Week | 8/31- 9/6
Performance Of The Week – 8/4-8/30
ZacKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Grienke grabs my POTW. The 25-year-old right-hander struck out a team record, 15 batters as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Cleveland Indians (sorry Rey), 6-2. Of his 117 pitches, Grienke threw 77 for strikes while breaking a 21-year old record set by Mark Gubicza. The Orlando, Florida native improved to 12-8 on the season (has since won #13) and an … [Read more...] about Performance Of The Week – 8/4-8/30
