Hi,
It's been awhile and I'm trying to configure how I can change up my title tags so they will read as follow:
Home page -- The Sports Weekly |Sports News|Sports Rants| etc...
Blog post page -- Title of Topic - The Sports Weekly
That's about it, I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue. Thank You

First, you have to explain what is Sport News, Sport Rants, etc... are they categories, tags, or just random words?
But, if you are using WordPress >3.0, you can look deep into the source code of Twenty Ten theme, functions.php, there is a function:
function twentyten_filter_wp_title( $title, $separator ) {
...
}
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'twentyten_filter_wp_title', 10, 2 );
Inside the above function you can format the title as you like. If you don't use Twenty Ten, you can add the function (and the filter) to your theme you are using.

okay now I tried changing it up and wp totally just crashed. I can't get back into my wp account b/c of trying to change the code in the functions source. what the hell is wrong with wp and all these errors. Because of one little change up I can't sign back into my wordpress I'll just have to uninstall it from my server and then reboot it up. wp is acting crazy I've never seen a problem like this.

WordPress source code is just like tiny components in an engine. If you tweak it wrong, the engine won't start. Lucky for you that in WordPress the engine won't be broken, so you don't have to worry.
You don't have to start it over. Before doing any changes, you should backup what you will change. So, if your change breaks the whole things, you can always roll back to when it works well.
Then, turn on the debugging option in wp-config, around line 81:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
If debugging option is turned on, any error or warning will be displayed on your screen, so you will be informed of what you are doing wrong.
If you already know what's wrong, then you should be able to fix it. If not, you can go back here asking, or if you prefer you can hire a professional to better solve your problem.
