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 [...]
The beginning of the off-season has come and gone. At this time of the year, many fans are just waiting around for the draft to begin while the teams themselves are tying up loose ends with free agents and preparing themselves for the highlight of the off-season in New York. While they haven’t been the [...]
Maybe since the inception of the game, but at the very least since the league became a pass-inclined one, the quarterback has been simultaneously the most important and most sensitive of positions in the NFL. Teams with a proven quarterback will dramatically overpay to keep him, while teams with questions will overpay for anything that even resembles [...]
According to Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, Cincinnati Bengals‘ free agent right tackle Andre Smith is not happy with the contract offer that his former franchise is sending his way. In fact, Smith’s agents are reportedly making it clear that they welcome offers from other teams at this point. That probably comes as tough reading for [...]
After a few days of wondering where his agent had disappeared to, free agent cornerback Terence Newman was eventually able to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals on a two-year deal. Newman started 15 games last season and was on the field for 958 snaps, second only to Leon Hall amongst the team’s cornerbacks. He made [...]
Every NFL team is made up of different pieces. There are countless personnel involved when you combine the 53 players on the field with everyone off of it. Those players follow different philosophies and play-calls, while every single one of the 32 organizations will have a unique approach to how their franchise is run. The [...]
In today’s online world, the media often rushes to make judgments on everything in the sporting world. There is no more waiting to find out answers, today’s audiences are used to having the world at the touch of a button, so they expect answers immediately even if none exist. That can often simplify criteria and [...]
The Cincinnati Bengals have just one remaining priority from their initial free agency outlook. One very large priority. After a few weeks on the open market, right tackle Andre Smith is still without a new contract. Although a deal hasn’t been agreed to just yet, the Bengals still appear to be the favorites to land [...]
On NFL Network, the Baltimore Ravens‘ Haloti Ngata hinted that he would be playing more nose tackle in 2013. The subject emerged because the Ravens added defensive ends Chris Canty and Marcus Spears this off-season, with Arthur Jones and Pernell McPhee already on the roster. Being arguably the best defensive lineman in the league, Ngata [...]
The Cincinnati Bengals‘ activity so far in free agency has been almost exclusively with their own players from last season’s roster. The re-signings of Kevin Huber and Clark Harris precluded Mike Nugent‘s return, while Rey Maualuga, Adam Jones and Brandon Tate soon followed. However, the Bengals’ very own Marlin still remains at large. When free [...]
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Cincinnati Bengals and wide-receiver/kick returner Brandon Tate have agreed to a one-year-deal. Tate is another in the growing list of Bengals’ free agents who have re-signed with the team, and his addition means that they will retain each of their specialists from last year (discounting late-season addition Josh [...]
