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 [...]
Larry Fitzgerald is stuck on an island with the Arizona Cardinals and his brother took to twitter to air it out. The Cardinals got embarrassed on Monday Night Football by the San Francisco 49ers and a major problem is the Cardinals have no running game and no QB to get their best player the football. [...]
Warren Moon is hitting the news again, this time defending Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton’s play while saying the criticism is race related. Moon is quoted saying, “I heard somebody compare him to Vince Young. It’s the same old crap — it’s always a comparison of one black to another black. I get tired of it. [...]
In an effort to kill some time and keep busy writing during what looks to be another lengthy NHL lockout, I’ve decided to devote more of my efforts to football, specifically, the NFL. Without further ado, I’d like to welcome you all to the first installment of our new weekly NFL power rankings feature, to [...]
The Chicago Bears got spanked back to reality Thursday night against the hated Green Bay Packers. They didn’t do anything well and their offense was particularly bad. The Bears were coming off an exciting offensive performance against the Indianapolis Colts, and it was supposed to be a new era for the Bears. Well, the offensive [...]
I’m ashamed of myself. It takes a lot for someone to admit that but I am truly ashamed. I let the Dallas Cowboys fool me. I can usually sense when the Cowboys are going to have a meltdown; I can usually feel it coming. I didn’t feel this. Maybe you were fooled too. After a big [...]
This game was just absolutely brutal from the aspect of the Tennessee Titans. At the end of the first half, the team trailed 17-3, and were out-gained 169-100. Not to mention that Chris Johnson had five carries for only tens yards — one carry was a season-high seven yards. That is just the kind of [...]
Join our panel of writers as we watch the NFL’s oldest rivalry renewed. Tonight on Thursday Night Football, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears do battle at historic Lambeau Field. Click Here
I believe that the Chicago Bears are a better team than the Green Bay Packers and will prove this tonight at Lambeau Field as these two bitter rivals meet for the 184th time (with the Bears holding a 92-86-6 series lead). I am not smoking funny cigarettes, but an observer of football that thinks the Bears made [...]
So the times have changed for the Detroit Lions in 2012. No longer are the days of being 1-0 a welcome for a celebration of sorts amongst the team’s fan base. Times have certainly changed considerably since the Lions 2008 campaign that saw the team go all season long without tasting victory. Matthew Stafford [...]
