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 [...]
There’s nothing concrete at this point, but speculation suggests that the Rams’ second year quarterback Sam Bradford is practicing under the guidance of Ben McDaniels, who is the brother of the team’s newly hired offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. This theory has been supported by the St. Louis Rams’ beat writer Jim Thomas (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). [...]
Current receivers Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson and Danario Alexander are all figured to be valued pieces on the St. Louis Rams’ 2011 offense. Wide receiver Mark Clayton, who is not under contract, was extremely valuable and productive for the Rams during the four games he played for the team before going down with a season [...]
During the month of May, possibly the slowest football month of the entire year, it is hard to produce any topics that are not pure speculation. This is one of those purely speculative articles. Robert Quinn is being tossed into a rather favorable situation in St. Louis- the most obvious factors supporting that statement are [...]
Billy Devaney and Steve Spagnuolo likely had Robert Quinn rated near the top of their draft board, but they probably never thought he’d actually be available when they came “on the clock” for the 14th overall pick. Spagnuolo is known as a defensive line guru- given the deeply talented ‘d-line’ he engineered with the New [...]
Many fans were not afraid to vocalize their disappointment after the draft last weekend. The team needed a No.2 running-back entering the draft, and they’ve needed one for a while now. And, yet again, the Rams walked away from another draft without a legitimate back-up for Steven Jackson. Why did General Manager Bill Devaney ignore [...]
VIDEO: Lance Kendricks Highlights Yes, this was a shock pick. But if you haven’t warmed up to it yet, here’s a little something to nudge you in the right direction, because Kenricks is going to be a player. -He is a solid red zone target with his size, speed and his ability to jump. -He [...]
Former Rams’ great, running back Marshall Faulk, walked up the the podium to announce the Rams’ 47th overall pick in round two. As Faulk looked down at the card, every Rams’ fan in the country was thinking about Torrey Smith, Leonard Hankerson, Mikel LeShoure, or even Marvin Austin and Stephen Paea. But then he announced [...]
The Rams didn’t address their biggest need as a team (WR), but they got one hell of a football player in the process. The Rams stay put at No. 14 overall and selected defensive-end Robert Quinn out of North Carolina. There are some questions surrounding Quinn, and those questions are the reason he fell as [...]
The hopes of Rams fans were crushed tonight as Alabama WR Julio Jones was picked 6th overall by the Atlanta Falcons. The Rams were in desperate need of a receiver, but both of the elite receiver prospects (A.J. Green, Jones) were well out of there reach. There was hope that Jones would slip just far [...]
7×32= Seven round Rams mock (minus the 6th round pick they don’t have), plus all 32 picks of the first round. Enjoy! 1(14) Aldon Smith, DE Missouri The Rams would prefer Julio Jones, and I have a hunch that they will try to make a move tomorrow if the price is right. But since I’m [...]
