It was the same situations, different day for the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.

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.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Kansas Jayhawks will enter the 2013-14 college basketball season as the favorites in the Big 12 Conference.

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.

Time to put all of those “Sean Payton to the Dallas Cowboys” rumors to bed. It appears as if Payton and the New Orleans Saints have agreed, at least in principle, to the outline of a new multi-year contract that will keep the currently suspended coach in ‘Nawlins upon his return. I’m reporting the Saints [...]
The hits just keep on coming from the New York Jets, as the team announced this morning that much maligned quarterback Mark Sanchez will be back at the helm of the offense as the team faces the Buffalo Bills this weekend. That’s right, apparently recently anointed starter Greg McElroy is being evaluated for a possible [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles clearly did not have a very good year in 2012. Not only did the team not perform well, but, for the most part, neither did any of the individual players. That lack of success can be seen in the fact that this is only the third time since 1970 that the Eagles [...]

I’m well aware that as a professional athlete, McCoy wants to come back and compete. It would be [...]
Alright, Philadelphia Eagles fans. I know it was exciting to see them win for the first time in 70 days, but let’s please temper our expectations.
