The Chicago Bears need to get younger on the defensive side of the ball. Although the team has a number of All-Pro and Pro Bowl players on all levels of the vaunted defense, the fact remains that Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs and Charles “Peanut” Tillman are all in their 30s. It is only a matter [...]
The Boston Bruins downed the New York Rangers by a 3-2 overtime tally in game one of the Stanley Cup playoffs semifinal series–but that was the day before yesterday. Now, with the two days between games one and two nearly over, what’s happened since Brad Marchand became another Bruins overtime hero? Speaking of that [...]
To describe the Golden State Warriors’ run through the 2013 NBA Playoffs as magical probably wouldn’t be doing it justice. The Warriors were projected by the majority of people to put up a solid showing in the first round against the Denver Nuggets, but eventually fall short. They came out firing in round one, though, [...]
When you’ve had success calling plays like new North Carolina State head coach Dave Doeren has, it’s disconcerting to have to change offensive styles. However, the personnel he inherited with the Wolfpack lacked one key ingredient he had at Northern Illinois … a running quarterback. Doeren’s top rusher the last two years have been his [...]
Minnesota guard Joe Coleman will be transferring from the school after they granted his release from his scholarship earlier this week. Coleman, who was a sophomore last season, will have two years of eligibility left for wherever he decides to transfer.

Let’s be honest–Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is living the dream at the moment as he’s sitting on top of the college football world after winning the Heisman last year. Manziel’s celebrity status has taken off over the last year as he’s become a national icon just about anywhere he goes and after he was [...]
Two years ago, Lucas Nogueira declared for the 2011 NBA Draft at the age of 18. However, it was a shaky decision and Nogueira eventually retracted his name from contention to better prepare himself for the professional level here in the United States. Now, at the age of 20, Nogueira is re-entering his name with [...]
Just a few years ago, Arizona Diamondbacks 3B Eric Chavez was contemplating retirement thanks to a rash of injuries. Now, at 35, he is having a fantastic season and has become worthy of consideration in fantasy baseball leagues. Chavez is now hitting .326 with a .386 OBP, five home runs and 18 RBI on the [...]
Last summer, Tottenham agreed a club-record fee for Porto star Joao Moutinho on transfer deadline day. Unfortunately, the deal wasn’t completed. But there looks to be attempts to resurrect the deal for this summer. Moutinho played under Andre Villas-Boas at Porto, and is a fantastic player. He can operate as a holding or attacking midfielder, and possesses a great range of passing. He [...]
The Seattle Seahawks completed their rookie minicamp over the weekend, and it mainly afforded the coaches and media time to see what their draft choices look like on the practice field. 64 players participated so the camp was obviously for more than simply the draft picks, but most people want to know how they may project to help the [...]
One of the stars of the Seattle Seahawks‘ rookie minicamp this weekend has been tight end Luke Willson. The former Rice Owls pass catcher has been turning heads with his speed and hands. While his in-line blocking hasn’t been dominant, it’s still early, and it is not an area the team expected greatness from with respect to [...]
If you’re a football fan, you know that Tim Tebow isn’t a very good NFL quarterback for a majority of a 60-minute game. However, if you have seen Tebow play, you cannot deny that he’s special in the closing minutes. If you do deny that Tebow is clutch at the end of close games, then please stop reading because you [...]
Many outsiders look back at the New England Patriots trade of wide receiver Deion Branch to the Seattle Seahawks as a win for the Patriots and loss for the Seahawks. Afterall, the Patriots acquired a first-round draft pick in exchange for a receiver who did very little to warrant his hefty contract from the Seahawks. The Patriots traded Branch to the [...]
The trade of Darrelle Revis last month, from the New York Jets to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has some people wondering if the Bucs now have the best secondary in the NFL. The answer is no. The best defensive backs in the league still reside as members of the Seattle Seahawks, and it’s not even close. The Buccaneers signed free safety Dashon Goldson from the San Francisco 49ers earlier this [...]
Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks is the best cornerback in the NFL. Just ask him. You don’t believe Sherman? Maybe you should ask the people who vote for the NFL All Pro team every year. After all, only two corners are selected from the 32 teams in the league. Being one of two cornerbacks on this [...]
Seattle Seahawks‘ cornerback Brandon Browner is one of the better players at his position in the NFL. It’s not often that you can be one of the best at what you do and still fly under the radar. However, such is the life for Browner. Browner signed as an undrafted free agent with the Denver [...]
John Elway of the Denver Broncos is the greatest quarterback I have seen in my exact four decades on this earth. There have been other greats such as Joe Montana, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, among others just a notch below such as Steve Young, Brett Favre, Dan Foutes and Dan Marino, but Elway gets my personal vote as the best. The first and most obvious complaint is going to [...]
The year was 1985 and the Seattle Seahawks were predicted by many to advance to the Super Bowl. At no other time in history, until the last few months, have the Seahawks been considered Super Bowl frontrunners. Not even coming off a Super Bowl appearance in 2005 were they considered the favorite to get back to the [...]
The Seattle Seahawks used a fourth-round draft pick just over a year ago to select Jaye Howard from the University of Florida. The franchise was optimistic that he would develop for a year and then be ready to contribute at the three-technique position, as that defensive tackle spot was going to be made up of Jason Jones and Alan Branch both of whom were set to [...]
