Today, I caught the tail end of Jack and Jackie Harbaugh (father and mother of the Harbowl brothers) doing a press conference to a room packed with ravenous reporters. Apologies to my Ranters for not catching the whole thing. (Hoping to go to Beyonce’s tomorrow so stay tuned folks). Much thanks to Gatorade for getting [...]
The Tampa Bay Lightning set out on a mission to upgrade their defense this past offseason. They did just that, adding two veteran defensemen in Sami Salo and Matt Carle, who haven’t disappointed. Obviously joining a new team is never easy but both players, especially Salo, have handled the transition quite well. A former Vancouver [...]
The Seattle Mariners have been adding bats this offseason like they were going out of style. While many perceived that to mean that the team was happy with the projected rotation heading into 2013, it may have just meant the team was biding their time and looking for the right deal. With pitchers and catchers [...]
If ever the Indiana Pacers needed to win an NBA home game, it was Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons who had a reason to be distracted. Indiana had lost three straight on the road and returned home to face a Pistons team that found out Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye would not be in the [...]
The Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines tragicomedy as “a drama or a situation blending tragic and comic elements.” In my opinion, nothing could better describe the Manti Te’o hoax and the national freaking out that has gone along with it. This is both a comedy and a tragedy, and sadly it’s only been treated as a [...]
Rough times have hit Champaign once again as the Illinois Fighting Illini have dropped four out of their last five games heading into a major opportunity against the 13th ranked Michigan State Spartans. Meanwhile, Sparty is hitting their usual mid season stride as their highly touted big men Derrick Nix and Adreian Payne finally seem like they [...]
According to USA Today, students from Sandy Hook Elementary School will be singing America the Beautiful during the Super Bowl XLVII pregame show. Alicia Keys is set to sing the National Anthem following the students. The NFL is flying 26 students and their families down to New Orleans this week in order to prepare [...]
The week leading up to Super Bowl XLVII has been quite exciting for members of the Baltimore Ravens considering all of the questions surrounding Ray Lewis being linked to PED. However, the argument can be made that Joe Flacco has found himself in a more difficult situation after making inappropriate comments about his feelings towards [...]
Last week, Philadelphia Union midfielder Brian Carroll was named the captain for the 2013 season. Last season, he was the captain for a few games while Carlos Valdes was playing for the Colombian National Team. Carroll is the right choice for captaincy. He is a great leader on and off the field and has the [...]
One of the larger storylines heading into this shortened season was going to be the play of the two new superstars for the Minnesota Wild, after they managed to sign both Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in the offseason. Many wondered how the two would perform. Could Parise still be a star outside of the system he had played in [...]
The fifth game of the season marked the date when players who were eligible to return to juniors either had to go back or remain with their NHL club. For the Boston Bruins, that decision was an extremely easy one. The front office announced on Monday that rookie defenseman Dougie Hamilton would be remaining with the team and would not [...]
It’s time to point out something completely obvious. The top line for the New York Rangers is good. It’s really good. You could probably say with absolute certainty that it is the best in the league. The Rangers worked for almost a year to bring Rick Nash to Broadway. Persistent trade rumors didn’t speed up the pace, and Nash [...]
We’re not too far into the 2013 season yet, but it looks like the Philadelphia Flyers are going to be much happier with the performance they’ll get out of Ilya Bryzgalov this season. He’s looked good, even when the defense in front of him has looked poor. Which has been most of the time. However, there has to be [...]
With Jamie Benn all locked up down in the Lone Star State, there are only two young restricted free agents remaining without deals. Ryan O’Reilly and P.K. Subban remain without new deals, despite how crucial each of them are to the success of their respective teams. While we have yet to hear of any sort of dialogue regarding an [...]
It hasn’t been easy to find flaws with this Chicago Blackhawks team early on in the season. They’ve been that good. With that said, there are still some concerns about players that are either struggling early on or have yet to show up entirely. One of those players that fits the former is defenseman Brent Seabrook. As recently as [...]
The Chicago Blackhawks are off to their best start in franchise history, running this early season win streak to six games. Watching this team for just a few minutes, it isn’t hard to understand why. They’re getting contributions from up and down the lineup. The big names are coming to play. Those on the blue line are [...]
The past two years have been incredibly frustrating for the Chicago Blackhawks and their fans. Which is part of what makes this hot start such a joy to watch. But during those two years where the Hawks failed to find any consistency, few players were more frustrating to watch than Niklas Hjalmarsson. After matching the four-year offer [...]
