Frantz Sports rap
Frantz: Mitchell Report should eliminate talks of race
- Brandon Smith, an apprentice trainer with the Yankees, describes Roger Clemens’ day as follows: “He’s one of the first players in every morning, does his program with Andy Pettitte, does the team program workout, goes to the weight room, leaves, plays 18 holes of golf and finally meets [trainer] Brian McNamee at 6 … and a few other players — for another workout. It’s incredible how much energy Roger has.”
Frantz: Will Bonds get the locker he’s looking for?
- A little of this, and a lot of that ...
Frantz: BCS contenders are nothing but pretenders
- Do me a favor, will ya? Drag that dead horse over here for a minute. I’m not through beating it.

Frantz: Believe in these Warriors, too
- It’s official: No one wants to play in the NCAA’s mythical BCS championship game. In a college football season already rife with more inexplicable twists and turns than a 3 a.m. ride home with Lindsay Lohan, the past four weeks have taken a turn for the surreal.

Frantz: Shula should leave Spygate issue alone
- Personal memo to Don Shula: You were absolutely right. Now shut up.
Frantz: Boras gone would help A-Rod
- He’s the most complete hitter of his generation. Since his first full season in Major League Baseball, he has hit more home runs, driven in more runs, scored more runs and had more extra-base hits than any player in the game. He is the youngest player in the history of the sport to hit 500 home runs and he has done it without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs. Defensively, he was a Gold Glove shortstop in Seattle before selflessly giving up his position to a lesser defensive player and moving to third base in New York. He is about to win his third American League Most Valuable Player award in the last five years.

Frantz: West will still be stacked
- You know, it’s really too bad the NBA couldn’t have hired that Miss Teen South Carolina chick to realign its divisions — at least for the Warriors’ sake. Maybe the geographically-challenged Miss “I personally believe U.S. Americans should help South Africa and the Iraq, therefore such as, and the Asian countries” would stick Oakland in the Eastern half of the United States, giving the Warriors a realistic opportunity to contend for a conference championship.

Frantz: The Yankee way is a cowardly way
- There’s a right way to do things and there’s a wrong way to do things. The New York Yankees appear to have a company policy mandating that they choose the wrong way.

Frantz: BCS shows its flaws once again
- Once again, the NCAA college football season has devolved into an incomprehensible mess, and once again I’m celebrating like Charlie Weis at Old Country Buffet when a fresh pallet of fish is lowered onto the table.

Frantz: Gundy’s harsh words earned him respect
- Friday afternoon, roughly 24 hours before his Oklahoma State football team would rout Sam Houston State 39-3 in Stillwater, Mike Gundy told an Oklahoma City radio station that he’d had enough. He wanted to put his Sept. 23 postgame temper tantrum behind him so his Cowboys could get back to focusing on their season, rather than on the coach that would be introduced to thunderous applause as “America’s Coach” in Saturday’s pregame introductions on the OSU campus.
Frantz: The problem's not McNabb’s skin color
- It was in 2003 when Rush Limbaugh was fired by ESPN for his ridiculous and incorrect assessment of the media’s coverage of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Frantz: Goodell has gone soft on Pats
