Antonio Cromartie Goes On Twitter to Complain About Visitation Rights

Lets take a break from the NHL free agency coverage to talk some football, or at least something related to football.

Antonio Cromartie, who last year played for the New York Jets and will become a free agent once the lockout ends, took to Twitter Saturday to complain about his lack of visitation rights.

Why You Want This Man Running Your Hockey Team

"I'm taking my talents to South Beach." -LeBron James

In what has now become the most famous reference to Miami since this, last summer LeBron James announced he was heading to the Miami Heat to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.

This summer, it is a different sport and different Miami team that has players saying 'I'm taking my talents to South Beach,' the NHL's Florida Panthers.

NHL Free Agency Day 1 Remarks

Well folks it is July, and along with those BBQ's we will all be having this weekend while enjoying our nations independence comes the beginning of free agency in the NHL.

At 12 noon eastern time Friday the flood gates opened as teams were officially allowed to sign players that were on other teams rosters the past season.

Of course it would be absolutely ridiculous to go through every player that was signed, so I'm only going to give my two cents on the most important signings (or lack of signings in Brad Richards' case) of Day 1.

Why You Should Watch John Wall and Co. (And How They Might Be Pretty Damn Good Too)

Get excited for the Wiz show, Washington. And I don't mean this. Or this.

I mean this. And this. And this.

I never thought I'd actually say this, but the Washington Wizards are well on their way to becoming one of the more exciting teams in the NBA; a team that I will actually try and watch next season. Maybe even make my way to the Verizon Center once or twice. And I don't think I'm alone with thinking this.

That's what happens when you draft as well as they have the past couple of years. Obviously some luck was involved. Winning the lottery to get John Wall in 2010. Having Jan Vesely drop to #6 in this year's draft. And, possibly most miraculously, having Chris Singleton, the best defensive player in the draft, drop to #18.

USA- North Korea Live Blog

USA Kicks Off Women's World Cup Today

The USA will open up their bid to back up the number one ranking when they begin pool play Tuesday at noon.

The American ladies will be taking on a North Korea team that is ranked 8th in the world, but that almost no one knows anything about.

The USA is the top ranked team according to FIFA, but it has been Germany who has won the last two World Cups.

For the USA to win they are going to need Abby Wambach to perform at great heights. As shown in the England Mexico game, headers will go in even from 17 yards out, and Wambach can do that.

The other key for the US is of course in goal, where Hope Solo returns from a shoulder injury. Many consider the US to have the strongest goal-tending in the world, and it is going to be very difficult for North Korea to get shots off, let alone good ones.

I'm thinking the US is going to win this one, although apparently just last week they lost to Norway 3-0 in a closed door match, so it really depends on what team shows up.

Make sure to follow me on Twitter @cleyden1 for some uneducated soccer tweets during the match.
