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 [...]
The Washington Redskins won the NFC East division for the first time since 1999 this season. It wasn’t an easy task, as they were 3-6 through nine games. They bounced back by winning seven in a row, won the division, and made the playoffs with a 10-6 record. In a nutshell, that sums up the [...]
There is only one place where NFL players want to be during this time of the year. The Super Bowl. Both the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens have the opportunity to be the last team standing come Sunday night. Of course, leading up to the game the quarterbacks are getting a bulk of the [...]
With the Super Bowl approaching, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick gets set to play in the biggest game of his career. Well, of course it would be his biggest game because he’s only started nine games in his short-lived NFL employment. During his stint as a starter, Kaepernick has shown that he has the [...]
When the Pro Bowl roster was initially announced, there were three Washington Redskins‘ players listed. Of those three, linebackers London Fletcher and Ryan Kerrigan weren’t included. Due to the fact that the San Francisco 49ers are making a trip to the Super Bowl, Fletcher and Kerrigan will both get an opportunity. They will replace Patrick Willis [...]
With the off-season approaching, teams are starting to consider which players will remain on the roster and which players will be released. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall is one of the most inconsistent players on the Washington Redskins‘ roster. He is, however, one of the few playmakers that the Redskins currently have in their secondary. This makes [...]
After totaling only seven catches since week 10, San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis had himself a game Sunday. He caught five passes for 106 yards, while also getting his first touchdown in seven games. His effort came at perfect timing, as he helped lead the Niners to a Super Bowl appearance after they beat [...]
If taking a look at the Washington Redskins‘ coaching staff, who would be considered the weak link? Simple answer to that question, there isn’t one. The Redskins are fortunate enough to have a stellar staff, whom all have been successful at some point and time in their career. Head coach Mike Shanahan, as we all [...]
We are now 10 days removed from the Washington Redskins‘ playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It’s been eight days since Robert Griffin III was determined to have a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL), and seven days since the surgery. Since the moment Griffin went out of the game against [...]
It’s time to settle this once and for all. Who is the NFL‘s Offensive Rookie of the Year? Of the superior play by the rookies this season, only one can be fortunate enough to win the award. There could be an argument made for a plethora of players that may “deserve” the award, which makes [...]
In a phenomenal game between the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons, the dirty birds found a way to get their first playoff victory with Matt Ryan at quarterback.
