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 [...]
For the third time in his career, Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli has been named NFL Executive of the Year by the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America (PFW/PFWA). Although Pioli won the award in 2007 and 2003, it could be argued that he was most deserving of the award after this season. Pioli [...]
The defense of the Baltimore Ravens, led by perennial All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed, is not as good as it has been in previous years, but it is still good enough to pose a big challenge to the Chiefs offense in Sunday’s opening round playoff game. While the Chiefs have turned themselves [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10419786"]The Kansas City Chiefs were well-represented in NFL.com’s Top 10 plays for Week 16, as both wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and rookie safety Eric Berry made the cut.

For everyone else around the world, Christmas was celebrated on Saturday, but for Chiefs fans they unwrapped their present from Santa Claus on Sunday. Prior to the 2010 NFL season, Santa made his list and then he checked it twice, only to find out that Philip Rivers and the Chargers had been naughty (Rivers’ meltdown [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10337191"]Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, a mere week after having his appendix removed, is making news as he is back practicing and preparing for Sunday’s game in St. Louis. For Chiefs fans, that’s music to their ears. This past Sunday in San Diego, backup Brodie Croyle was battered and beaten by a rabid Chargers defense. The offense, lacking [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10298530"]As reported by Adam Schefter on ESPN.com (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5909051), the Chiefs have signed running back Jamaal Charles to a five-year contract extension. Charles, the league leader in yards per carry at 6.2 ypc, has been the best running back in the NFL since becoming the Chiefs primary back in week ten last season. The [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10337192"]After what appears to have been an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday, it appears highly unlikely that quarterback Matt Cassel will play Sunday against the Chargers in San Diego. The Chiefs have promoted Tyler Palko from the practice squad, and backup quarterback Brodie Croyle took all the snaps in Wednesday’s practice. So is Croyle, [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="9858677"]The Chiefs’ Tamba Hali got off to a promising start this season, establishing himself as the team’s primary pass-rusher by registering eight sacks in as many games, including a three-sack performance in week three against San Francisco. However for the past three weeks, Hali has failed to get to the quarterback, something that needs to come [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10291591"]Kansas City wide receiver Dwayne Bowe is quietly getting ready to break several franchise receiving records for a season. That’s not too bad considering many fans were ready to run Bowe out of town after a 2009 season that included a four-game suspension and more dropped passes than you see in a Thanksgiving [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10209604"]The Kansas City Chiefs are having their best season since the Dick Vermeil led group that went 10-6 in 2005, a team that saw running back Larry Johnson step in for an injured Priest Holmes and run for 1,750 yards in nine games, but still miss the playoffs. This season, the Chiefs again have two All-Pro [...]
