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 Indianapolis Colts are 6-3 and are legitimately in the hunt to earn a playoff spot in the AFC. Andrew Luck is likely the leader for the Rookie of the Year Award, and now he must head into Foxborough to play the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Luck has lived up to the insane [...]
Chicago Bears defensive-back Charles Tillman is having one of the best defensive seasons ever. Why not honor him with a t-shirt displaying his finishing move? Ladies and gentleman, get yourself a “Peanut Punch” shirt! The Bears defensive standout bears the nickname “Peanut Tillman.” What is a peanut punch? A peanut punch is when Tillman jars [...]
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck went off today and set a new NFL record for most passing yards in a game for a rookie as he threw for 433 yards. Luck lead the Colts to a 23-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Lucas Oil Stadium in front of their home crowd. Luck’s skills and [...]
Detroit Lions running-back Jahvid Best will not play football for the remainder of this season, as he is still on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Best has been burdened with multiple concussions over the years, during a time where head injury awareness is at an all time high in football. Whether it be high [...]
In a recent Forbes fan survey, Ndamukong Suh and Troy Polamalu each received some unique honors. Unfortunately for Suh, he came out with the not so honorable of the two recognitions. Detroit Lions defensive-tackle Ndamukong Suh was voted as the least liked NFL player. It is not really that surprising to me for a few [...]
Brandon Marshall and Warren Sapp apparently have some beef going on, as the Chicago Bears‘ wide receiver recently tweeted some light on the situation. So @warrensapp just emailed where and when. I assume he wants to fight. Exactly what I’m talking about. #comeonmannn — Brandon Marshall (@BMarshall) September 24, 2012 Does Marshall mean what he [...]
Charlie Batch, Charles Rogers, Joey Harrington, Dan Orlovsky. These names don’t make you think about Fantasy Football. Partially because Fantasy Football wasn’t the phenomenon back then as it is today. But names like Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson have future 2o12 fantasy owners geeked up. The new-age Detroit Lions fans don’t show up to games [...]
So just when you thought the New England Patriots were officially stock-piled on the offensive side of the ball, they go out and sign another offensive piece, former Tennessee Titan tight-end, Bo Scaife. The Patriots have been on attack-mode this offseason. They just keep adding weapons to put into Tom Brady’s arsenal. After the signings [...]
The Detroit Lions are coming off a 2011 season that pumped the blood back into the city of Detroit, after going 10-6 and making the playoffs for the first time since 1999. Expectations for the Detroit Lions are high for the 2012 season, as well they should be. The Lions went a decade being the [...]
Detroit Lions wide-receiver Calvin Johnson was taking batting practice at Comerica Park Friday. Yes I said it, batting practice. Calvin “Megatron” Johnson does it all. Not only does “CJ” beat double-teams, triple-teams, catch everything in the red-zone and destroy NFL defenses every week, he also swings the lumber rather well. In the video below, Calvin [...]
