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.

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.

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.

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 [...]
When it comes to quality coaches across professional sports, few are as likeable as John Harbaugh is these days.

The Baltimore Ravens won’t have to wait long to defend their title as they come out of the gates playing some big-time competition.

While the Baltimore Ravens’ defense was being pilfered away during the first week of free agency, it was easy to blame the monstrous Joe Flacco deal as a reason for the loss of key defenders. However, as the dust has all but settled on free agency for now, the Ravens have to really like where [...]
Brendon Ayanbadejo has been a staunch supporter for gay rights and his open support is admirable considering the culture of football. However, after being cut this week, Ayanbadejo used his civil rights stance as a cop out for the reason he was cut by the Baltimore Ravens. Ayanbadejo signed a three-year, $3.22 million contract last [...]
Contrary to previous reports of the Baltimore Ravens’ demise, things are settling down for the defending champs. After it appeared the sky was falling on the Ravens’ defense, Ozzie Newsome showed why he is one of the best general managers in the NFL.

After an exodus of key defensive free agents, the Baltimore Ravens finally have some good news on the free agent front. The defending champs inked pass rusher extraordinaire Elivs Dumervil to a five-year deal worth $35 million. Only $12 million is guaranteed, so there is some wiggle room for the Ravens should things not work [...]
Things have officially gone from bad to worse for the Baltimore Ravens. After it looked like there was optimism to re-sign defensive fixture Ed Reed, the game-breaking safety reportedly signed a two-year deal with the Houston Texans. Houston laid out the red carpet for Reed, picking him up in owner Bob McNair’s private jet and [...]
After a fast and furious first week of NFL free agency, things have started to slow down around the league. The way the Baltimore Ravens were hemorrhaging players, the slower pace may be playing into the hands of the Ravens. First and foremost was the Houston Texans’ courting Ed Reed, as they put on the [...]
After roughly 24 hours of free agency, the Baltimore Ravens’ losses have heavily outweighed their gains, especially on the defensive side. First on Monday came the surprising trade of Anquan Boldin for a sixth-round draft pick. Boldin was basically given away after he refused to restructure his contract. However, the most surprising moves came to [...]
It was a very busy day for the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday to say the least, as they traded Anquan Boldin and offered contracts to multiple free agents. The busiest position was at tight end, as the Ravens re-signed both Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson to one-year contracts. The contracts will be official when the [...]
