Tebow’s last stand

Tim Tebow is one of the greatest college football players of his generation, along with Vince Young. He also seems like a pretty good kid.

That said, as Buckeye fans, I’m sure most of us were rooting for Alabama the other night. The idea of watching Florida win three national championships in four years would have been nauseating.

As you can see in the image above, SPORTSbyBROOKS had a little fun with Mr. Tebow and the goofy stickers he likes to sport during the games.

Z is a class act

Zydrunas Ilgauskas was allowed to play tonight and was given the chance to break the Cavs record for most games played. For a man who has endured numerous foot injuries, it’s quite an accomplishment. Z spoke briefly after the game and clearly didn’t want to dwell on Mike Brown’s brain fart the other night when Z got the first DNP-Coach’s Decision of his career.

When he finally stepped on the court, breaking Danny Ferry’s Cavaliers record for games played, the fans rose and clapped, giving Ilgauskas a standing ovation for the full duration of the Cavaliers’ offensive possession. They stood and screamed and yelled out “Zeeee” in deep baritones from every corner of the arena, from the floor to the rafters.

“That was one of the coolest things I’ve experienced in my life, and also the closest I’ve probably come to tears on the basketball floor,” Ilgauskas said. “I very much appreciate it and thank them.”

*****************

“Obviously I was very disappointed that I didn’t play in the last game,” he said. “I know I’m a good player. I think by me playing in that game, I would not have affected the outcome of the game. What made me more disappointed and upset were the acts that followed. This whole mess that has been created.

“I’m not going to go into any details. Once again, I’m going to be a bigger man and walk away from this. I know when I go to bed at night, my conscience is clear. What I’m going to do is continue to do my job. I love this team, I love my teammates; they’re like a family to me. I’m going to come every day to work and try my hardest, win some games and hope to bring a championship to this city because they deserve it.”

Z has always been a class act. Hopefully he and the others can win a championship for the city.

Terry Pluto looks back on how the Cavs found Z back in the day in a nice profile.

Shaun Rogers is out for the season

Mary Kay Cabot is reporting that Shaun Rogers is done for the season. It’s a big blow for a Browns team that has only managed one ugly win all season.

Rogers has been having a great year, and the defense played fairly well against Cincinnati giving up just 16 points. But injuries are now piling up.

Hilarious Grady Sizemore photos

It’s been a crazy weekend in sports with the Tiger Woods fiasco. Now Grady Sizemore is in the news and he can’t be very happy about it.

Some very funny and very revealing photos of Sizemore have been leaked onto the web. It looks like he took the photos of himself, and one of them has him nude with his johnson covered by a coffee mug. Grady is dating Playboy Playmate Brittany Binger and one report claims that she leaked the photos on the web. According to Cleveland.com, Sizemore has started legal action to have the photos removed. Good luck. If he took them and sent them to his girlfriend, I don’t think he can prevent her from releasing them. Now, if they were stolen . . .

“These pictures were stolen illegally from my girlfriend’s email,” Sizemore told The Plain Dealer on Sunday night. “It’s now a legal matter that is under investigation. I can’t say anything more.”

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. As one of the articles noted, celebrities need to understand that they shouldn’t be taking crazy pics like this. The stuff always gets out.

It’s hard to feel too sorry for Grady considering he was stupid enough to take the pics and he gets to hang out with the beautiful Brittany.
