Indianapolis Colts will win the 2009 AFC wild-card game against the San Diego Chargers.

Baltimore Ravens will win the 2009 AFC wild-card game against the Miami Dolphins.

The Tennessee Titans will not go undefeated during the 2008 regular season.

The BCS is not an effective method for determining the national champion.

The NFL should not expand its regular season beyond 16 games. These players can barely make it through a season to begin with. This is absurd.

Lance Armstrong did use performance-enhancing drugs.

The New York Mets should not fire Willie Randolph.

Joba Chamberlain should be a reliever for the New York Yankees during the 2008 season. He should continue to set up this year, and then they should make him a starter during the off season. It could ruin his season if they move him now, make him build up arm strength, etc.

Wilt Chamberlain is the NBA's greatest center of all time.

There should not be a designated hitter in Major League Baseball.

Sabermetrics is an effective way to evaluate baseball talent.

UCLA will go the furthest of all number one seeds in the 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I'll say UCLA because they're who I picked on my bracket. But after seeing UNC these last few days, I don't now if they can possibly be beat.

Haile Gebrselassie is the greatest distance runner ever.

The U.S. should not boycott the Beijing Olympics.

Sports bloggers should be given the same access to teams as the media. Yes, but within reason. Some sports bloggers have huge followings, and are credible media members. But if I started a random Mets blog that no one read, then I'd understand why the Mets chose not to give me a media pass. I were a web-only blogger for E

Mark McGwire should not be voted into the Hall of Fame. But not just because of the steroids. Steroids helped him hit 583 home runs. Take away a few of home runs (chalked up to steroid usage), and he didn't do anything worthy of the Hall of Fame. Lets say he would have hit 450 dingers without steroids. S

The PGA should institute a drug-testing policy.

Lebron James should win the 2007-2008 NBA MVP.

Michael Jordan is the best basketball player in the history of the game.

Golfweek should not have fired the editor for putting a noose on its cover.

The overall effects of running are beneficial.

Someone will not break 2 hours for a marathon. Its just too fast. There are limits to what a person is able to run. I think we can all agree that the 3 minute mile is unrealistic. What about the 3:30 mile? Or the 3:35 mile? While it appears we're closing in on the 2 hour marathon, I just don't thi

The New York Knicks should fire Isiah Thomas. How could anyone argue they shouldn't fire him? He's run the damn team into the ground!

The Baseball Hall of Fame should accept Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball branded with an asterisk. With an asterisk or not, its still a record breaking baseball, and should be in the HOF.

Professional athletes are not overpaid. People are willing to pay athletes tons of money to play sports, whats wrong with them accepting that money. The athletes are bringing the fans to the seats, and it's the player's names on the jerseys that are sold, why shouldn't they benefit from that?

Jose Reyes will not be the top fantasy shortstop in 2008. Hanley Ramirez is the best fantasy shortstop alive today.

Barry Bonds should be voted into the Hall of Fame.

Lance Armstrong did use performance-enhancing drugs.
