Long, Maddening Fall For Former No. 1 Matt Bush

In Baseball / 26 March 2012 / 1 comment

The downward spiral of former no. 1 MLB draft pick Matt Bush hit a low point on June 28, 2009. He was viciously drunk. He had removed his belt, swung it at a passing car and crashed his vehicle when trying to flee the scene. A fleet of police arrived to arrest him. Hog-tied on the ground, Bush kicked, screamed and carried on like a toddler denied a toy. Nearly three years later Bush had shown enough promise through early spring training that he was a candidate for a call-up in 2012. The worst of the worst was in the past, Bush said. He was clean and sober and ready to play baseball. Today, Matt Bush is in jail. He is going to be there for a long time. Read the whole story here >>

RedBull Crashed Ice: Your New Favorite Sport (14 Photos)

In Red Bull, Sports, Trailer, VIDEO, Winter / 26 March 2012 / 1 comment

Its always great to see the preliminary stages of a sport destined for greatness. Red bull has done it again, innovating a new sport combining the speed and grit of hockey with down hill cross ice racing. The sport has been around since 2001, but has grown significantly in popularity the past couple of years. Basically a down hill roller derby. The courses are bumpy, narrow, and steep, which involve downhill skating in an urban environment, on a track which includes steep turns and high vertical drops. So if you’ve ever taken your girlfriend for an ice skate around the rink in the winter you know how easy it is to look like a fool with skates on.
