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 [...]
As the Detroit Lions limped into their bye week at 1-3 many fans of the team were left wondering if the team had any chance of making this NFL season a good one. The Lions are in fact 6-10 including their playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints ever since their 5-0 start in 2011. [...]
The Detroit Lions are being very optimistic and hopeful in general that they can get help for their much beleaguered defense in week six. Getting S Louis Delmas back from injury would help out considerably, especially considering the team’s struggles in the secondary. In early part of the 2012 NFL season Detroit has shown little [...]
The Detroit Lions head into their week five bye week a disappointing 1-3. If there was a boiling point for a team it would be now for the Lions. Detroit opens their post bye week schedule with two road games against legit NFC the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears. It looks as though Detroit [...]
QB Tom Brady and his offense proved to the NFL that the New England Patriots are not on death’s door. The Patriots thrashed the Buffalo Bills 52-28 on Sunday with an impressive second half effort. The fact that the Patriots rolled 45 points on the so called new and improved Bills defense was nothing to [...]
The Detroit Lions are not quite in panic mode at 1-3, but if we could read the anxiety level in Motown it is painfully high right now. Detroit fell to the Minnesota Vikings 20-13 in a game that saw the Lions put forth an uninspired performance. This was supposed to be a make ‘em or [...]
The Detroit Lions have a great deal on the line in their week four match-up with the Minnesota Vikings. For one thing the Lions are 1-2 on the season and for another they are trying to prevent going into their bye week with a 1-3 record. That would be absolutely disastrous for the Lions, so [...]
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford practiced for the second straight day as he attempts to get healthy for Sunday’s home game against the Minnesota Vikings. Stafford has not shown any ill effects in today’s practice of his leg injury from week three that is officially listed as a hip injury. If he is hurting he [...]
The Detroit Lions seem to be playing Columbo to an extent when answering questions about QB Matthew Stafford’s injury. We were all told first that he suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to the Tennessee Titans. That report was ultimately changed to a non-specific leg injury and then he was listed on the team’s [...]
The Detroit Lions did not just lose a wild, and tough game on Sunday to the Tennessee Titans. They may have also lost their confidence as the team fell under .500 to 1-2 on the season. Of course the Lions and head coach, Jim Schwartz, would never tell anybody this, or even admit to it. Admitting defeat [...]
The Detroit Lions came up just a tad short of an epic NFL comeback Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. It was a yard short to be exact. The Lions fell 44-41 in overtime after charging back to tie the game on an improbable hail mary from QB Shaun Hill to WR Titus Young Sr. As [...]
