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 [...]
The Chicago Bears have the 20th pick in the 2013 NFL draft. The Bears have some pretty strong needs on the offensive line and at linebacker. Another receiver to throw in the mix would be nice too. I went into the draft with five ranked players based on who I thought would still be around at number [...]
The Chicago Bears aren’t the team that goes out and gets “players of high moral character” anymore. That may be a good thing. In the past, former general manager Jerry Angelo and head coach Lovie Smith would champion the idea. Players like Tank Johnson were quickly booted off the team for breaking the law. Fourth-overall pick Cedric Benson [...]
The Chicago Bears‘ new head coach Marc Trestman plans on installing the read-option next season. Is this good news or bad news for quarterback Jay Cutler? Is the offense a flash in the pan? Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin seems to think so. I think as long as there are mobile quarterbacks to run the offense, it’s here to stay [...]
So far it’s been a pretty quiet day for Chicago Bears news. There are reports that the Bears are interested in Kansas City Chiefs TE, Steve Maneri. He’d likely be a replacement for the departed, Matt Spaeth. Nothing else of note other than the same old middle linebacker question. The Brian Urlacher talks, or lack there of, are getting stranger by the [...]
The Chicago Bears are in search of linebackers. This week, the team lost Geno Hayes to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Earlier today the Bears also lost coveted backup MLB, Nick Roach to the Oakland Raiders. Team captain, Brian Urlacher has yet to reach an agreement as well, as contract talks have been stalled by the Minnesota Vikings [...]
The Chicago Bears are going to have to play defense against Reggie Bush and the Detroit Lions now. Bush signed with the Lions today on a four year deal with an undisclosed dollar amount. Bush will likely have a scat back/receiver role for the Lions. The move doesn’t hurt the Lions but having Joique Bell [...]
Reggie Bush has signed with the Detroit Lions. For a team that didn’t have the bank account to afford the $6 million per year contract he was interested in, they sure did fine in the sweet talk department. There is no official word yet on the dollar amount of the contract, but there’s simply no way the Lions offered Bush [...]
The Detroit Lions may have to wait a few hours for free agent Reggie Bush to commit to the team. In the meantime, the Lions were able to land strong safety Glover Quin, formerly of the Houston Texans. The move doesn’t exactly signal the end of the Louis Delmas era just yet, but it is very likely [...]
All is quiet in Detroit tonight. The 2013 NFL free agency signing period began today at 4 P.M. and there’s still no word on the Detroit Lions most coveted prize this offseason. Free agent, Reggie Bush has seen some interest from the Arizona Cardinals and late arrival Cincinnati Bengals. But still, the word around the league [...]
Oh, what it must feel like to be the Minnesota Vikings right now! In case you’ve been away on vacation in the last 24 hours or happen to dwell under the proverbial rock, the Vikings sent disgruntled wide receiver Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks yesterday for what is rumored to be their first pick [...]
