By Michael Parente As antiquated as it can be at times, and as clueless as it is regarding the Steroid Era, the Baseball Writers’ Association of America has shown remarkable progression in recent years when it comes to using new statistical evidence to vote for postseason award winners.
It is here! College football has kicked off and the guys at Psycho Sports could not be more excited. The rivalries, the passion, and the pressure... hear the crew talk about what to expect from the upcoming season. Also check out their picks for the key match-ups below. Plus... Coach Hayes explains to us why he thinks that Tim Tebow is a better quarterback than Peyton Manning. PSYCHO SATURDAY FOOTBALL PICKSBy Kevin Aherne (@kaherne17) Today was cut down Saturday in the NFL, the day where each team is required to get their rosters under the 53-man threshold. And today, two big names were added to the list of players who will be seeking new employment. Both of these players are former NCAA Champions, and both own Heisman Trophies. However, the release of neither Tim Tebow nor Vince Young came as a surprise.
Both of these quarterbacks have a great deal of skill, and both were once believed to be the "next big thing," but neither have shown the ability to perform at a high level in the NFL. Vince Young seems to lack the mental strength to cope with the pressures that come with running a professional offense, and Tim Tebow seems to lack the physical skills to conform with a pro-style offense. We may have seen the final straws in both of these former champions' career. By Coach Hayes Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys, and Girls...Its time of year, so bust out your jerseys, your flags, and whatever you have to show dedication, passion, and obsession for your school... College football is Back!

By Michael Parente Johnny Manziel can pound as many Coronas as wants tonight, spend the first half of tomorrow’s season-opener sleeping off his hangover in a College Station bathhouse, and waltz onto the field at approximately 2 in the afternoon just in time to save the day and reap the benefits of everyone else’s hard work.
By Scoop Fox It has been a long season for Boston Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz. After starting the season with what appeared to be Cy Young-worthy (9-0, 1.71 ERA, 81 K, opposing BA at .195, in 12 appearances), he ended up injuring his neck back on June 9th. Buchholz was put on the 60-day DL and has been rehabbing ever since. His first rehab assignment was on August 25th in Short-Season Single-A with the Lowell Spinners against the Hudson Valley Renegades. The stat line was as followed: ND in 0.2 IP, 3 R (1 ER), 1H, 3BB, and 1K . Buchholz was then transferred to Triple-A Pawtucket on August 30th for a 2nd rehab start against the Syracuse Chiefs. The stat line was as followed: ND, 3.1 IP, 1 R (1 ER), 7H, 0BB, 2K, throwing 53 pitches, 34 for strikes. Afterwards, he spoke with the media about his rehab and what the future holds for him.

August 30th start against the Syracuse Chiefs By Johnny Sunchips The NBA has LeBron James (I would argue Kevin Durant). The NFL has Robert Griffin III (My preference is Andrew Luck). The NHL has Sidney Crosby (Taylor Hall and Jonathan Toews are candidates). They play in different sports, but all have in common one thing...
By Dip Donnelly (@NoahAtTheArk) It was a hot summer day about a decade ago, I was sitting on a hill enjoying some music. I girl ran by me hula hoop spinning around her white waist. The smell of patchouli wafting through the air, a stoned hippie playing Frisbee, a friend offers me a cigarette. It was a menthol, “I hate menthol!” My friend says “no, man its dipped”. Dipped? Ok I smoked it.
