Last season, one of the biggest surprises turned out to be Matt Flynn losing the starting job with the Seattle Seahawks to Russell Wilson–who played a key role in helping the team reach the playoffs last year. Now, Flynn is looking forward to a fresh start with the Oakland Raiders and while the competition may [...]
The storied divisional rivalry between the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings had to end the way it did on Wednesday night. It wasn’t pretty at all, with penalties, shoving and controversy in abundance, but in the end, the two teams, who will now be in opposite conferences, shook hands in the middle of the [...]
After a shaky start to the regular season, the Philadelphia Phillies are slowly working their way back to having a .500 record after another impressive win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. For a team that has been dealing with too many injuries, the Phillies have had to overcome more than they would have [...]
This season the New York Knicks were able to win a playoff series and advance to the second round of the NBA postseason for the first time in over a decade before fizzing out against the Indiana Pacers. One of the reasons for the Knicks demise was their lack of a complementary scorer to Carmelo [...]
Although the Clemson Tigers are by no means considered a huge underdog in their August 31, season-opening contest against the Georgia Bulldogs, not many actually expect them to win the game. Hang with the ‘Dawgs? Yes. Beat them? No. However, this week the Tigers were bestowed upon them a gift, via the off-season misfortunes of [...]
Christian Watford may not be the most raved about player entering the 2013 NBA Draft, but he was great for the Indiana Hoosiers, even in his senior season when Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo seemed like the only two talked about players on this team. Who knows if Watford will make it in the NBA, [...]
Over the last couple of years, photo bombing has become quite the popular trend with professional sports and whether you’re a fan of the acts or not–you can’t deny the fact that it’s hysterical to see athletes pull them off. One of the latest victims–Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers. As you can see in [...]
Ripping Washington D.C. of its famous “Redskins” nickname is like taking the Cowboys out of Dallas and then renaming them the Dallas Sheriffs. Sure, the change might satisfy the radical groups who love to rain on parades, but dropping Redskins should not be in the plans of perhaps the most popular NFL team. Unfortunately, the radical groups [...]
A torrid start to the season for Baltimore Orioles 1B Chris Davis has continued all the way through May, and there is no end in sight for his fantasy baseball owners. Davis crushed his league-leading 18th and 19th home runs during a 4-for-4 night in Wednesday’s 9-6 win over the Washington Nationals Wednesday night. After [...]
I seriously hope that England has far more options to pick from later this year when the crucial World Cup qualifiers arrive, because from tonight’s performance, there was little to be hopeful about. Joe Hart — 6/10 Hart had a fairly uneventful outing. He was beaten by a great Shane Long header, which he can’t [...]
Ever since the Chicago Bears fired Lovie Smith and Devin Hester had his now infamous hissy fit proclaiming he wanted to retire, I have been trying to figure out exactly what he is so angry and frustrated with. At a glance Hester appears to be getting a handsome salary in 2013, his base salary will [...]
Well I am now 0-6 in championship game predictions over the past three seasons. Interestingly enough I felt sure the ‘Harbowl’ would take place last season, but a stellar second half performance from the Baltimore Ravens ensured the football world wouldn’t miss out on this glorious event for a second season running. Credit the Ravens, [...]
The Baltimore Ravens grabbed the bull by the horns in the 2013 AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots with two very well constructed and executed touchdown drives on their second and third drives of the second half at Foxborough. However, the first really huge play came of a brutal hit from Bernard Pollard [...]
Huge plays win title games, or in the case of the Baltimore Ravens, in the 2012 AFC Championship game, failing to cash in on huge plays or indeed complete them will lose you games. The commitment on defense is there yet again from the Ravens and I suppose the manner in which they have stifled [...]
It is halftime in the 2013 AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens and few important plays have kept this a nail bitter at the half. This game hasn’t had the big plays we all saw in the NFC Championship Game, the real story was the Ravens defense holding Tom [...]
The NFL season is drawing close to its conclusion, in less than 12 hours everyone will know which two teams will be competing for the Vince Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans in Super Bowl XLVII. In what turns out to be a repeat of last season’s AFC Championship game the Baltimore Ravens will once again [...]
With the a new era dawning at Halas Hall for the Chicago Bears, Marc Trestman announced in his introductory press conference, that despite talking to the veteran defensive coach, Rod Marinelli couldn’t be persuaded to return to the Bears’ side lines in 2013. With a new coaching structure beginning to take shape and Marinelli walking [...]
Since arriving as the hallowed savior of Halas Hall four years ago, Jay Cutler has yet to put up the numbers or be a part of that elite offense everyone expected when Jerry Angelo traded for him in 2009. I firmly believe that Cutler has the raw ability to lead the Chicago Bears to more [...]
What do the 2010 Chicago Bears and the 2012 Washington Redskins have in common? Both had franchise quarterbacks who due to knee injuries were playing their respective playoff games on one leg and both didn’t make the Super Bowl in their respective playoff runs. This however is where the similarities between these two organizations end. [...]
I have come to the realization that many are guilty of being unable to rationally discern what they actually want from the Chicago Bears in return for their respective fandom. After enduring many tweets during the Washington Redskins playoff game with the Seattle Seahawks yet again questioning Jay Cutler’s toughness and drive, a sentiment which [...]
