Final Burn: May 2008
http://finalburnsports.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 31, 2008. Jim Tressel: Rodney Dangerfield of College Football. Back in the old days when everything was so simple, famous comedian Rodney Dangerfield was on top of his game in the funny business. The line that made him famous, "I get no respect", made millions laugh throughout his career. Dangerfield ended up receiving the respect he deserved but his catchy line may also describe an elite college football coach that doesn't get the respect he deserves. Hostile but it's still Michigan). ...

Final Burn: March 2008
http://finalburnsports.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 29, 2008. With the 2007/2008 NHL season winding down with a couple games left, there's a question that has been pondering many minds and that is.who will win the MVP or the "Hart Memorial Trophy"? Monday, March 24, 2008. However when will Joe call it quits? When will he be done so that the PSU football program can name a coach that will revive PSU to its glory that it once was? To "Hopefully OSU and UM don't embarrass us THAT bad this year.". Sunday, March 23, 2008. Well right now I'm thi...

Final Burn: Baseball Needs Replay To Up Its Image
http://finalburnsports.blogspot.com/2008/05/baseball-needs-replay-to-up-its-image_26.html
Monday, May 26, 2008. Baseball Needs Replay To Up Its Image. Later on in the week it happened again as Yankees third basemen Alex Rodriguez hit a home run that barely cleared the wall. However since the umpires saw the hit distance away, it looked like the ball bounced off the wall so it was ruled a double. Reports are that MLB will experiment the use of replay in spring training next year. There are also reports that the use of replay may not be implemented into baseball until 2010. I'm not saying that ...

Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Stop Whining, Plax. So the usual person would think that he'd be happily willing to back to the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants right? To come back and play with Eli Manning, who might've moved into elite status by his play in the playoffs right? Well Plaxico Burress proves once again why NFL wide recievers are the biggest primma donna's in sports. This is coming from a so-called, "professional" player? This is where Plaxico Burress comes in. Burress was easily t...

Final Burn: It's Not Over For 'The Kid' Yet
http://finalburnsports.blogspot.com/2008/06/its-not-over-for-kid-yet_09.html
Monday, June 9, 2008. It's Not Over For 'The Kid' Yet. It happened so quickly. Three years after drafting #1 pick, Sidney Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the Stanley Cup Finals. But it wasn't easy, not even close. If you think this will be the last time that Crosby plays in a Stanley Cup Finals though, oh how wrong you will be. Crosby is so poised to win it all, that he's even stated that he would take a pay-cut in order to win the Stanley Cup. Talk about being unselfish. Most players...With ...

Final Burn: Boston Paper Champions?
http://finalburnsports.blogspot.com/2008/05/boston-paper-champions_15.html
Thursday, May 15, 2008. However for the Boston Celtics it only took one trade for them to become the doormat in the NBA to one of the best in the NBA. On a late July day, Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge shocked the basketball world when he pulled off possibly the biggest trade in NBA history. The Celtics traded for future hall of famer Kevin Garnett and one of the most accurate 3-point shooters in the game, Ray Allen. We have to play better under stress, there's no doubt about it," Celtics head.

Final Burn: April 2008
http://finalburnsports.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2008. Tomlin Is What Pittsburgh Needs. However, last year at this time there were many questions surrounding Tomlin. Even Steeler fans were questioning the Rooneys decision on the hiring. Tomlin was a young, unknown and unproven coach who hasn't had any head coaching experience when the Steelers hired him. No one knew about this defensive coordinator from Minnesota. Questions like "who is this guy? He was probably a long shot when we began the discussions," Art Rooney said per. Ever ...

Final Burn: We Wish It Was You, Ken Griffey
http://finalburnsports.blogspot.com/2008/06/we-wish-it-was-you-ken-griffey_2790.html
Thursday, June 5, 2008. We Wish It Was You, Ken Griffey. Now that Cincinnati Reds outfielder, Ken Griffey Jr. is silently on the brink of hitting his 600th home run, fans wish it was Griffey, not Bonds, that would have the all-time home run record. If all of that occurred, the famous title, "Home run King", wouldn't belong to Barry Bonds, but instead to Ken Griffey Jr. Who decides to rip the guy who could have you off the team like that. This is why Griffey is such a lovable guy in baseball. Rega...
