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 [...]
Two San Francisco 49ers fans were punished for cheering their team’s game-winning touchdown during Saturday’s NFC Playoff game against the New Orleans Saints. Christopher Middleton and Corey Adams were eating at an Applebee’s restaurant in Duluth, Georgia, when the 49ers’ Vernon Davis caught the game-winning touchdown, and began cheering. Donald Ray Ayro, a Saints fan, [...]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a healthy team for the first time in Lord knows how long, and the first time in the 2011 calendar year. Sunday marked the first time this season the Steelers were able to get their entire 53-man roster on the practice field. Only one player, rookie linebacker Chris Carter, didn’t practice. [...]
On Monday night, the Philadelphia Eagles announced the signing of QB Michael Vick to a six-year/ $100 million contract. While “only” $40 million of that is guaranteed money, it’s still more than enough to get Vick back on his feet after that 21-month jail term and Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That, or it’s enough to land [...]
Last season, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison had been fined a total of $125,000 for four “incidents” by the time December rolled around. While head coach Mike Tomlin publicly stated that Harrison needed to “change his playing style,” many NFL fans – especially Steeler fans – felt Harrison was being unfairly targeted by the league.
