Wednesday's edition of Sizing It Up:
Edwin Jackson would sweeten deal for Chicago Cubs - Bleacher Nation
As a Detroit Tigers fan, I have been following this closely. I still find it hard to believe the Tigers would want to shop Curtis Granderson and Jackson, but business is business, I guess.
Tiger Woods car crash: A public relations nightmare - Blessay from America
Great points on how Tiger should have handled the whole car crash nightmare. The author is right: Just show up in person and everyone will quickly forget about the whole mess.
Ex-track star Marion Jones might play in WNBA - Pleasant Dreams To quote: "What the hell is the NBA thinking?"
Charlie Weis FINALLY out at Notre Dame - Too Old for Maxim, Too Young for Esquire
Biting commentary on Monday's firing of Weis. Finally, some one else who doesn't understand why anyone would want to come to coach Notre Dame.

Sizing It Up: Down with Charlie Weis
A Notre Dame-heavy edition of Sizing it Up:
You're not the Detroit Lions, but you lost to them - God Hates Cleveland Sports
The Cleveland Browns-Detroit Lions match up yielded one of the best finishes in the NFL this season. A Browns fan breaks down the shocking end to a meltdown by Cleveland.
Adrian Beltre: Mike Lowell 2.0? - One If By Land
As the Boston Red Sox move closer to acquiring Adrian Beltre, this blogger wonders how Beltre compares to current Sox third baseman Mike Lowell.
Urban Meyer to Notre Dame: History not on Florida's side - ChuckWeis
A nice collection of quotes from Florida Gators coach Urban Meyer. Hard to take anything he says seriously after reading these.
Jimmy Clausen's face beats up fan's hand - Dueling Couches
The rantings of a Notre Dame football fan.

Sizing It Up: "Handing" out the links
Saturday's edition of Sizing It Up:
'Shop early, shop often' during MLB free agency season - Mets Merized
I seem to find a lot of good stuff on New York Mets fan blogs, and this post is no exception. A funny and insightful take on the free agency season in baseball.
Thierry Henry is a liar, cheater, and any other bad word - Footy Blog
One of many blogs about Henry's hand ball during France's World Cup qualifying match against Ireland. Read the comments. No matter how small of the blog, I couldn't find a single Henry story that didn't have comments. Goes to show how much soccer means to some in the world.
Detroit Lions versus Cleveland Browns: A statistical analysis - The Lions in Winter
Great statistical breakdown of the match up between two of the NFL's worst teams. All I can say is it takes a dedicated fan to do so much work for the Lions.
LeBron James soaking up too much of the spotlight? - LeBron James Blog
For a blog dedicated to King James, I'm surprised how much this post bashes him. Regardless, the author makes several good points concerning James' attitudes.
Brandon Jennings, the NBA, and Europe - BMac's Blog
Will the success of Brandon Jennings lead more high school players to head overseas? Did the NBA 'punish' Jennings for doing so? A very nice read.

Sizing It Up: From the hot seat
Wednesday's edition of Sizing It Up:
Hapless Cleveland Browns led by offensive noob - Xtra Point Football
Interested in becoming an NFL offensive coordinator? The Cleveland Browns will be in need of one soon, and by the looks of it, their job requirements are pretty minimal.
Allen Iverson fires heavenly agent - Sports Pickle
A hilarious satire of Allen Iverson's decision to terminate his contract with the Memphis Grizzlies after three games.
"Israel, man, Israel. He was talkin' bout Israel. Not in the NBA, not in America. Israel."
Columnist blames Rodney Harrison for New England Patriots' play call - The Providence Journal
I find it a bit hard to believe that Bill Belichick was thinking about David Tyree when he made the decision to go for it on fourth-and-2 this past weekend. However, this column does bring up several good points concerning the faith Belichick has in his defense.
Curtis Granderson: The newest Chicago Cub? - Bullpen Brian
Assuming the Detroit Tigers do deal Granderson, the Cubs are a likely destination for the fan-favorite centerfielder. Bullpen Brian thinks Granderson could blossom into an MVP while in Chicago.
Rich Rodriguez among host of college coaches on hot seat - BC Draft
Another University of Michigan season has gone down the drain. BC Draft writes a nice breakdown of which college coaches, Rodriguez included, could be out of a job by the end of the year.

Sizing It Up: Loads of hair pullin' goodness
Sizing It Up is another new segment Matt and I will be publishing twice-weekly (for now). We're going to bring you interesting sports news and commentary from around the blogosphere and the Internet.
I'm going to focus on finding lesser known sports blogs, but will definitely include anything I find to be relevant or interesting.
If you see a story or blog post you like, please share it with us! We are nothing without our viewers/readers.
Here's our first ever-edition of Sizing It Up:
Elizabeth Lambert, the 'terrorizing machine' - Sports Opinionated
Lambert's physical play has garnered herself and women's soccer national headlines for all the wrong reasons. Would we care if it was a guy? This blogger wants to forget all about it and focus on Carlee Payne (for good reason).
Hot corner in the frozen tundra: New York Mets' 3B David Wright should be a Toronto Blue Jay? - The Bitter Bill
As a Detroit Tigers fan, it's interesting to see how fans of teams like the Mets think. The argument for moving Wright, arguably the Mets' best player, is simply the hope they can play keep-away and stop Toronto ace Roy Halladay from ending up in crosstown pinstripes.
Behind the scenes with the Philadelphia Eagles: The McNabb-Reid chronicles - Inside the Iggles
This mock conversation between the Eagles' starting quarterback and head coach gave me a good laugh.
"So, do we start our three game win streak this week, or tank one more on the left coast?"
Keith Bogans gets 'mad' when opponents score on him - San Antonio Express-News
Who doesn't get mad? Seriously though, a nice article which features the most under appreciated part of basketball: defense. Another bonus is former Detroit Piston Lindsey Hunter being referenced in the story.
Lincoln's top hat to signify Big 10 football rivalry - TheMatadorSports
Funny, I saw Abraham Lincoln as a basketball player. Anyway, it's Northwestern versus Illinois. *yawn*
