The Ottawa Senators are giving young Swedish prospect Mika Zibanejad his first taste of NHL action for the season, as an injury to Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson suffering from the flu has created room for him on the roster. In his first game of the season Tuesday night, Zibanejad assisted on Jim O’Brien’s second period [...]
With the team’s payroll apparently spent with the myriad of acquisitions made by team GM Alex Anthopoulos this winter, the Toronto Blue Jays are back to diamond-digging mode in hopes of finding some depth pieces that could eventually turn out to be more. The latest of these is 29-year old Andy LaRoche, who was signed by the [...]
When the Memphis Grizzlies hired renowned statistics guru John Hollinger to join their front office, many questioned the move.

With the [...]
The chase for five-star defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes (Auburn, Ca., Placer) and former USC commit is shaping up to be a four-team race between UCLA, Notre Dame and an outside shot given to Alabama, because he has not cancelled his visit to the Tide.

Marshall Henderson has emerged on to the college basketball scene by making big shots and not being afraid of showing his emotions on the court. But it has been the Ole Miss guard’s emotional outburst that has gotten him the most attention. Henderson’s taunting of the Auburn student section after hitting the game winning free [...]
A lot of basketball fans want to see LeBron James in the dunk contest. However, LeBron has always turned down pressure to join the contest.

While Andy Dirks may not be the sexiest name in MLB, he certainly has gotten a lot of attention among baseball purists. The Detroit Tigers outfielder is a flat-out ball player. He never turns in a clean jersey and has tremendous feel for the game. All of this cannot be denied, but it takes more [...]
Raphael Varane scored a late equaliser on his ‘El Classico’ debut to save Real Madrid from a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Ray. Barcelona took the lead after 50 minutes thanks to Cesc Fabregas, following a woeful clearance from Jose Callejon. The first half saw both sides come close to taking the [...]
Defensive Line If you want to find a group that has been the most disappointing, here is your group. The group lost standouts Adrian Clayborn, Christian Ballard, and Karl Klug to graduation, but the incoming players were expected to fill in just fine.
