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 [...]
Does anyone remember when Jerome ‘The Bus’ Bettis could be seen on a Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh running over linebackers for fun? Whilst those nostalgic images are swirling around your head answer me this question, how many times since ‘The Bus’ has retired do you think that the Pittsburgh Steelers have finished in the top [...]
When it comes to the free agent market not many players can come to the bargaining table with a freshly minted Super Bowl ring, but it looks like Paul Kruger and Cary Williams will be doing exactly that. Now that the Super Bowl is done its time for the Baltimore Ravens to accept reality and [...]
Nick Saban has become known throughout the college football world as being very pragmatic when it comes to quickly moving on from a championship season and starting work on the team’s next big success. Whilst running an NFL team has it differences from college ball in the off-season, the Baltimore Ravens‘ top brass seem to [...]
On the field of play, Ray Lewis has no doubt made the biggest contribution to the Baltimore Ravens, the franchise he has played for during his entire career. After 17 years of faithful service and helping the Ravens to win Super Bowls in both 2000 and 2013, it’s time for Baltimore to bestow upon Ray [...]
Does Joe Flacco really warrant being the league’s highest-paid quarterback? Yes or no? Think about it logically, has this guy done enough to call himself the best quarterback in football today? This could turn out to be a really long “discussion” should I pose it to almost anyone in the football world, but all that really matters [...]
Everyone knows by now the big stories that stemmed from the Super Bowl; the lights went out, Ray Lewis played his last game and Joe Flacco was named MVP, but the real story, and something that even as a Baltimore Ravens fan I was angry about, is that both Jacoby Jones and Anquan Boldin got snubbed [...]
In the run up to the biggest football game of the year between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers there’s a lot of people, quite rightly, focused on what’s happening in the now. Whilst some of you readers, and maybe a few of the players, just want Sunday to come around and be [...]
I think I have made my thoughts on Baltimore Ravens star safety Ed Reed well known in the past week or so but as per the 24/7 media frenzy that is Super Bowl week, there is a new, very real piece of speculation that has been brought up by none other than the safety himself. [...]
