Once known as the “Windy City Flyer,” Devin Hester has taken a few steps back from meriting that moniker. Not only is Hester not a wide receiver any more — which is a great decision from the new Marc Trestman-led regime — but he also is only “competing” for the return man job. Meaning if [...]
Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings tweeted this about having to miss the finals this year: “Just tried to watch game 3, had to turn it off, Wish I was wearing a white jersey, best of luck to both team #PossesiveOfTheCup #ReneCanSing” — Jonathan Quick (@JonathanQuick32) June 18, 2013 He is a competitor and [...]
In MLB, there’s outstanding starting pitching and then there’s a level above where the starting pitching absolutely carries a team. Through the first 70 games of the 2013 season, the St. Louis Cardinals have, without question, been on that second level when it comes to their rotation. The Cardinals have enjoyed the re-emergence of Adam [...]
A major question the Indiana Pacers will have to answer during the offseason is if they’re set at the guard spot with Lance Stephenson. It’s possible the Pacers will look to make a deal to strengthen that spot, unless Stephenson gives indication he’s ready to turn his game up a few notches. Stephenson did improve [...]
Last offseason, while college football realignment rumors were spreading like wildfire all over the place to keep our football-crazed minds occupied, you could hear small whispers from folks about how it would be beneficial for the Florida State Seminoles to try to align themselves with the ever-powerful SEC. And yes, in the end that’s all [...]
The Ole Miss Rebels won the SEC tournament this past season, but it would take a miracle for them to do the same thing in the 2013-14 college basketball season. There will be many teams predicted to finish ahead of Ole Miss in the conference entering the season, to say the least. Kentucky and Florida [...]
Earlier on Monday, the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders were making headlines for releasing an amazing music video to them singing Taylor Swift‘s hit song “22.” Now, it appears the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders have taken the same approach by creating a version of their own while doing a photo shoot for the team’s upcoming calendar. That’s [...]
Tim Tebow Was Almost Drafted By the Los Angeles Angels It’s hard to imagine Tim Tebow doing anything but waddling out onto a football field and throwing the football with that weird, left-handed motion of his (and making headlines for all kinds of stuff he’s never done and likely never will), but Tebow Mania was almost [...]
Newly acquired Atlanta Falcons’ running back Steven Jackson is quite an intriguing player for the fantasy football 2013 season. Jackson, in recent years, hasn’t been viewed as a big-time running back in fantasy leagues. The 29-year-old running back is entering his 10th season in the NFL and while not posting record shattering numbers, Jackson has [...]
Mexico and Italy opened up their Confederation’s Cup campaign in a decently entertaining match which saw the Italians come out on top. The match brought us chances, passes, tackles, goals and of course mistakes. In the end, the side with the more mistakes gave up all three points for their first loss of 2013 – [...]
In full disclosure, Ichiro Suzuki has never been very high on my list of favorite players. However, there are plenty of things to like about the New York Yankees‘ acquisition of the 10-time All-Star from the Seattle Mariners. First of all, the New York Yankees really did not give up much at all to acquire [...]
The New York Yankees have never been afraid to put on the full-court press to bring the game’s superstars to New York City. Whether through a blockbuster trade or free agency, the New York Yankees’ history is littered with some of the best players to play Major League Baseball. This bold approach to team building [...]
You don’t typically see players the caliber of Justin Upton gracing the flurry of MLB rumors that surface each summer. That appears to be the case here though because the Arizona Diamondbacks are willing to listen to trade offers on their young – albeit inconsistent – stud. This is not the first time Justin Upton [...]
Many MLB rumors focus on whether or not the Texas Ragners will be able to add a starting pitcher like Cole Hamels, Zack Greinke or Matt Garza. However, 19 year old shortstop Jurickson Profar continues to excel at Double-A Frisco. There is no need to rush Profar up the ladder as he is currently blocked by Elvis Andrus, but it has to [...]
The Texas Rangers have advanced to consecutive World Series berths – coming within a strike of winning one – in large part to the contributions that shortstop Elvis Andrus has provided atop the lineup and in the field. We have yet to see a monster breakout season, but Andrus has shown steady improvement at the plate to go [...]
As we inch closer to the July 31st Trade Deadline, the New York Yankees have been prominently featured in the daily frenzy of MLB rumors. Injuries to CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte have driven speculation that the Bombers might be looking for starting pitching depth. Guys like Cole Hamels, Zack Greinke, Ryan Dempster and Matt [...]
Despite what ESPN might suggest, the constant flow of MLB rumors is not restricted to the big markets, big money teams and biggest names. Teams such as the Kansas City Royals often play a prominent role in trade speculation and will sometimes even pull the trigger on some high profile deals. 2009 Cy Young Award winner [...]
The Boston Red Sox have produced – and traded away – two franchise shortstops in the past 15 years. Nomar Garciaparra is long retired, but many fans would say that Hanley Ramirez - recent struggles notwithstanding – would look awfully good in a Boston Red Sox uniform right now. Of course each trade played an integral role in a [...]
As arguably the most recognizable brand in the world, the New York Yankees find themselves as a fixture in the 24-hour media cycle. If someone hands out a few gift bags, it becomes a story. If someone has a few self portraits made, it becomes story. So you know when rumors surfaced that the New York [...]
Popularity of the MLB draft is still in the growth stage, but there has been plenty of buzz surrounding the upcoming 2012 edition. Much of the attention has rightfully been directed toward prep outfielder Byron Buxton and Stanford RHP Mark Appel. Byron Buxton is the favorite for the No. 1 selection, but for the Minnesota Twins, Mark Appel [...]
