Black Ops Ad: Kobe Bryant Trouble

If you haven't seen the new Call of Duty: Black Ops ad yet, it is more controversial than it is interesting. The ESPN article titled: Does Kobe Cross Line in New Ad? (link below) This is absolutely ridiculous. The video, which will be at the bottom of this post, shows a bunch of people (famous or not). These people are not your normal american soldiers, they are dressed like regular looking people. Secretaries, business men, and basketball star Kobe Bryant (among others) are featured in the video. ESPN believes that this is a bad idea. The whole purpose of this ad is to persuade people to buy this game, telling you "everybody has a soldier inside of them." Why is this a bad idea? OK, he is shooting a gun, but why is that such a problem. This is a war game. I really don't believe that this should cause a problem for anyone, especially Bryant. He does not deserve any scrutiny from the press and the public for this. What do you think about this whole thing? Does Kobe deserve this attention? Tell me in the comments!

Technical Difficulties

Sorry guys, there are technical difficulties with our page currently, we will have it fixed as soon as possible.

John is Here

Hey guys! I'm John, y'know, the guy from TechBlogwithJohn. From now on, from time to time I am going to be posting on Reports about Sports. Hope you like my posts. I not sure how many times a week I'm going to be posting (hopefully around 2), but I'll work the kinks out and be providing you guys with up to date news on the most popular sports. So my post for today: Derek Jeter won a gold glove. What? I mean, nothing to take away from the fact that he is an amazing shortstop and always has been, but even the most partisan of Yankee fans admit that this year was not his best, actually closer to one of his worst. He was one of the three Yankees to receive golden gloves, the other two being Robinson Canoe and Mark Teixera. Honestly, I don't believe that this was a year that he deserved a glove. He just doesn't get to that many balls. In stats, Jeter is one of the best shortstops in the MLB, but the problem is that he gets to fewer balls than most people. If a ball is going straight at him, it is a guaranteed out, and the stats back that up. On the other hand, any ball hit to the left or right of Jeter  has a pretty high chance of being a hit. Jeter doesn't move that far to the sides in order to catch the balls. So, what do you think about Derek's golden glove award? Do you think that he deserved it, or the award should have been someone else's? Leave a comment below! Please follow me on Twitter: http://goo.gl/p5Nu. Also, be sure to bookmark and share!

James Harrison Fined $20,000

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers linebacker James Harrison's hard hits on the field keep getting matched by the NFL's hits to his paycheck.

Harrison was fined $20,000 on Thursday for a late hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the third time he has been fined this season for a dangerous tackle.

“

The amount of money is becoming an issue. The fines that they issued to me, two of them weren't even called penalties. I don't even know what to say anymore.

”-- James Harrison

The penalties total $100,000, including a $75,000 fine for his Oct. 17 helmet hit that left Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi with a concussion.

"The amount of money is becoming an issue," Harrison said Thursday. "The fines that they issued to me, two of them weren't even called penalties. I don't even know what to say anymore."

The $75,000 fine was issued two weeks ago, when the NFL adopted its tougher stance on hits to the head and neck -- a policy that caused Harrison to briefly consider retiring.

Defensive backs Brandon Meriweather of New England and Dunta Robinson of Atlanta were fined $50,000 each that week for what the league termed flagrant violation of safety rules, but Harrison drew a bigger fine because he was a repeat offender.

Harrison also was fined $5,000 for slamming Titans quarterback Vince Young to the turf on Sept. 19. Neither the Massaquoi nor the Young play drew a penalty.

After Harrison slammed into Brees' back during Pittsburgh's 20-10 loss Sunday night, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell summoned the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker to New York on Tuesday to talk about the NFL's stricter enforcement of dangerous hits. Harrison termed the meeting "semi-productive," and said it included a discussion of the Brees hit.

AFC North blog

ESPN.com's James Walker writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.

The league told Harrison he put his face mask into Brees' back after the quarterback delivered a pass, causing Harrison to draw a roughing the passer penalty.

"If you look at the picture, it looks like my head is off to the left, but maybe they had a different view of it," Harrison said. "Or maybe they're just listening to the [TV] commentators."

Harrison anticipated being fined, but was surprised at the amount. He insisted he was only following the NFL's tackling guidelines -- as portrayed in posters displayed in every NFL locker room -- to keep his head up.

"They tell you to keep your head up, see what you hit, but I guess that's not the case with a defenseless player," Harrison said. "I don't know how you tackle someone and don't use any part of your head, especially if you're trying to see what you're hitting. Your face mask is going to touch them."

The NFL's toughened stance is very unpopular among the Steelers (5-2), who take pride in being physical and, if necessary, intimidating. Coach Mike Tomlin and Steelers President Art Rooney II both defended Harrison for the Massaquoi hit, saying it was permissible under league rules.

Tomlin was visibly displeased last week that NFL vice president Ray Anderson praised Harrison for pulling up and not hitting Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown. Tomlin said it was "insulting" that anyone in the league office suggested the Steelers altered their style of play.

"It would be tough for me to care less about their opinion, to be honest with you," Tomlin said.

Troy Polamalu, a five-time Pro Bowl safety, is even more critical of the NFL's policy than Harrison is. Polamalu contends Goodell has too much control, and that players and team executives should have a say in deciding fines.

"He's got all the power, and that may be part of the problem. There needs to be some type of separation of power, like our government," Polamalu said Wednesday. "I don't think it should be based totally on what two or three people may say that are totally away from the game. It should be some of the players that are currently playing."
