The New York Yankees will win the 2009 World Series. Yanks in six.
アレックス・ロドリゲスは、バリー・ボンズの通算本塁打記録を破る。 Tough call. Currently 34 years old, he has to average 35 homers over the next 5 years to do it. Doesn't seem like he's going to slowdown anytime soon.
I do not listen to music while I run. I can't do it. It either ruins my pacing and rhythm or it prevents me from being able to relax and collect my thoughts while I'm out there.
メジャーリーグ・ベースボールは、ヒト成長ホルモンのための血液検査をするべきである。
Chicago Bears will win the 2009 NFC North.
Cosmetic surgery should be banned from beauty pageants. It would be cheating in my beauty pageant.
Bullfighting should be banned.
ハイレ・ゲブレセラシェは史上最高の長距離ランナーである。
I have never run a marathon.
I like running as a form of exercise. The greatest and most challenging form of exercise.
Phil Jackson is the greatest coach in NBA history.
The NFL should allow Michael Vick to play in the 2009 season. The U.S. physically, psychologically, and sexually abused prisoners in Iraq, including torture, rape, sodomy, and homicide after which the nation realized Iraq posed no threat nor was it part of the 'war on terror' and yet George Bush got reelected. Michael Vick ran an underground dogfighting ring and served two years in prison. George Bush was an elected official and got rewarded, Michael Vick is a private citizen, a professional athlete who served time in jail. I have a hard time sympathizing with anyone who says this guy should be banned from football for life. Give me a break. Both disgust me deeply as a human being but the hypocrisy in our society is even more disgusting.
Chicago should host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Would be a good reason to finally get my ass to Chicago. And anytime you can have the games in a nearby time zone is selfishly a plus.
I do not like running on a treadmill. Torture.
It is not appropriate to put Kobe Bryant on the same level as Michael Jordan. I have watched both players closely and when I replay old tapes of Jordan it's clear to me that he was so much quicker and explosive than Kobe. If Jordan didn't take two years off during his prime he would have ended up with 8 titles with a very average supporting cast.
オールスター戦で勝ったチームには、ワールドシリーズにおいてホームゲームで試合するアドバンテージが与えられるべきではない。 Unbelievably horrifying. You're talking about the conclusion of the entire MLB season being dependent on an exhibition game created by fans who vote for their favorite players. It cheapens the process of determining the best team in the league.
Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player of all time. He was as good as Bonds during Bond's prime juicing years and he was also a dominant pitcher. I would have Ted Williams a close second.
Roger Federer is more dominant at tennis than Tiger Woods is at golf. But it seems much harder to dominant in the PGA, a far more competitive league. If Woods wins the 2009 U.S. Open and Federer loses the 2009 Wimbledon then I may have to switch my stand.
マイケル・ヴィック選手はNFLから追放されるべきではない。 I think he served his time, right? I wouldn't take him if I was the owner of a team, but if someone wants him I don't think Vick should be banned forever.
Kobe Bryant is a better basketball player than LeBron James. If Jordan and Barkley are both saying Kobe then I have to agree, although I was leaning Kobe regardless. After a firsthand account of Kobe giving my high school basketball team a world class drubbing, even though he was 18 at the time, I remember saying this guy is the best player I've ever seen besides Michael Jordan.
2009年のNBAイースタン・カンファレンスで優勝するのはクリーブランド・キャバリアーズだろう。
NFLは、スーパーボウルを米国外でも行うことを考慮するべきではない。 American football is not a world sport like soccer. This would be like the Australian rules football championship being played in the U.S. or somewhere in Europe. Huh?
カーレースはスポーツではない。 The primary determinant of the outcome of a sport should be based on the physical ability of it's participants. Because equipment plays a major role in determining who is successful in car racing, I don't consider it a real sport.
ニューヨーク・ヤンキースはアレックス・ロドリゲスがいない方が良くならないだろう。 A-Rod's playoff stats with the Yankees: .230 average, 4 homers in 24 games. Yuck. His regular season numbers are a much different story, though...so I would say he helps the Yankees make the playoffs but fails to help them advance. And since the postseason is more about pitching I don't think you can blame A-Rod.
2009年の全米大学体育協会バスケットボール大会で優勝するのはノースカロライナ大学だろう。 Last year I said Kansas was the worst team out of the four and they won. Let's see...who should I jinx this year? I think North Carolina is the best team and Michigan St. is the worst out of the four.
Curt Schilling should be voted into the Hall of Fame. I think his postseason numbers really put him over the top, like Lincoln Hawk. Anyone?
2009年のNCAA男子バスケットボールトーナメントでメンフィス大学は第一シードに値しなかった。 No way! Conference USA is a joke. Big East practically took 4 out of the top 5 best teams from that conference a few years ago. Syracuse was the 6th seed in the Big East tournament and they wiped the floor with Memphis early in the year.
2009年の全米大学体育協会のトーナメントで一番過酷な地域は東部である。 Pitt, Nova and Duke in the same region. Yikes.
Which major conference will have the most wins in the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament? Big East Conference
Which top seed will advance furthest in the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament? University of Pittsburgh
もし自分がNFLフランチャイズのジェネラル・マネージャーなら、テレル・オーウェンスと契約しないだろう。 I'm a firm believer in putting the right team together versus the Yankees' philosophy of acquiring a bunch of talented players and hoping they mesh.
Management is more responsible for the proliferation of steroid use in Major League Baseball. Bud Selig should be investigated. Oh, he should resign too.
The treadmill provides the best aerobic workout from a stationary machine.
The entire list of 104 players who tested positive for steroids in 2003 should not be made public. I wish but I'm sure the only way the union accepted this deal was that the list remained private. You can't change that now.
The New York Yankees have a negative impact on Major League Baseball.
USA Swimming should have suspended Michael Phelps. Tough call, USADA tests athletes randomly in and out of competition and in this case there was no need. There's a picture and an admission of guilt from Phelps. That said, USADA has only publicly warned athletes if they tested positive for marijuana. I ha
Sponsors should drop Michael Phelps as their celebrity spokesman.
ロジャー・クレメンスは野球の殿堂入りされるべきではない。 Yes, but if concrete evidence comes out that he was using serious performance enhancing drugs throughout the second half of his career then I will happily flip flop on this issue. [Update, it seems clear that Clemens has used steroids now so I am changin
The professional American sports league is most contingent on coaching to succeed is the NFL.
The NFL should change its overtime format.
