It appears that 2011′s luster has lingered into 2013 for the Detroit Lions, as Vegas has rated them with a kind 7.5 regular-season win total. After watching the Lions fall behind by multiple scores in nearly every contest last season, it’s hard to view Detroit going .500 or above as a winning proposition. Perhaps no [...]
Ten years to the date since he announced his retirement, Patrick Roy was back in the same restaurant at the Pepsi Center in Denver to be introduced as the newest head coach of the Colorado Avalanche. Spirits were high, and Avalanche fans are no doubt hopeful that things are well on their way to turning [...]
It was the same situations, different day for the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. The only change, a rather significant one, was that this time the Rockies finished the game on top of the Houston Astros. Struggling recently with the ability to capitalize on opportunities from the plate, Colorado came through when it mattered most on [...]
Although the Memphis Grizzlies were surprisingly swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, the series wasn’t a total loss. Memphis discovered that reserve small forward Quincy Pondexter can potentially be a steady source of perimeter scoring, and for this reason he should be a larger part of their game plan for [...]
Well, did he or didn’t he? This has been the question that has been taking up most of the time in the college football world for the majority of the day. Today, during the SEC meetings, Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban was discussing the lately enormously-hot topic of a possible nine-game conference schedule. [...]
The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Kansas Jayhawks will enter the 2013-14 college basketball season as the favorites in the Big 12 Conference. For what it is worth, these two teams split the season series this past season. Oddly enough, the Cowboys won on the road and the Jayhawks won on the road. Although Kansas will [...]
How does the “Man of Steel” shave? In this hotly debated topic, Gillette helps cut through the clutter with HowDoesHeShave.com, a website dedicated to uncovering the truth behind Superman’s grooming routine. Director Kevin Smith; TV hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman; scientist and comedian Bill Nye; and Mayim Bialik, actress and real-life neuroscientist, share their [...]
At first, when the NBA decided to make the act of flopping illegal, the reaction was that it would eliminate players from manipulating the officials. However, players across the league continue to flail at times when their is hardly a foul. Perhaps the most annoying part of a game, referees are forced to make a [...]
The most exciting aspect of fantasy baseball is obviously home runs. There is nothing better than hearing the crack of the bat and seeing a ball go sailing over the fence. However, seeing a speedy player dash the 90 feet from first to second in an attempt to steal the base has to be the [...]
After leading Dutch Eredivisie team AZ Alkmaar in scoring and to their first Dutch Cup Championship since 1982, transfer rumors have surrounded U.S. Men’s National Team forward Jozy Altidore. For a player that scored 26 goals in 26 games for Alkmaar in all competitions, there will be clubs all over the world that are scrambling to sign [...]
There’s a possibility that Tim Tebow will be migrated to the role of running back against the New England Patriots this weekend. In recent weeks the New York Jets have hinted at a willingness to bring Tebow into the mix, especially after a few weeks of poor play from starting quarterback Mark Sanchez. If the [...]
The Denver Broncos turned out a historic second half against the San Diego Chargers this past Monday night en route to a comeback win from being down 24-0 at the half. Perhaps even more promising than the fact that Denver won the game and drew even with the Chargers for the division lead, is the [...]
Looking up and down the Denver Broncos roster, it’s hard to complain about any one player. In fact, all of Denver’s star power has shown up to play and for the most part has done a tremendous job. Champ Bailey has shut down opposing receivers, Von Miller is getting to the quarterback, Demaryius Thomas and [...]
Tim Tebow didn’t take the reigns from Mark Sanchez on Monday night against the Houston Texans, though you get the sense that one such exchange could be in the making. Sanchez, while having a respectable game, coughed up two interceptions on tipped passes and wasn’t able to drive his team effectively in a game that [...]
Speculation has been rising that the hapless New York Jets will deploy their secret weapon to try and reverse their fortunes and spark some offensive energy into their players. That weapon is none other than quarterback Tim Tebow, who has spent most of the season either on special teams, or on the sidelines. The nature [...]
The Denver Broncos have made a habit this season of playing games very close, and giving viewers and fans reason to watch a full 60 minutes of football without completely writing them off. The Broncos have lost three of their last four games in more or less the same fashion. Bearing an oddly striking resemblance to the [...]
In two games against the New England Patriots last season, Von Miller was able to total only one tackle between the two contests. Miller’s ineffectiveness against Tom Brady and the Patriots offense was no doubt a part of what contributed to the Denver Broncos inability to keep pace in both those games. This Sunday, the [...]
When you’re talking about the Denver Broncos, you’re almost certainly talking about Peyton Manning, and might I add, with good reason. He’s big news around the NFL, as quarterbacks often are, and if you add Tom Brady to the mix, the story line gets even more predictable: Manning vs. Brady. In the Broncos matchup against [...]
Peyton Manning did his best in week four to silence those who had been saying that his arm strength was shot and that he wasn’t 100 percent. Manning is fine, and his 338 yards and three touchdowns in week four should have been enough to prove that. Perhaps it was, though a win against the [...]
