The Denver Broncos announced on Wednesday that Tom Nalen will be inducted to their Ring of Fame in 2013. The induction ceremony will take place at halftime of the home game versus the Philadelphia Eagles on September 29th. Nalen was a seventh-round pick of the Broncos out of Boston College and played center for 15 [...]
Heading into an offseason that follows their most successful regular season in five years, the New York Islanders currently don’t have a goalie signed for next season. With Rick DiPietro’s contract buried and possibly getting bought out and Tim Thomas on the roster in name only, that leaves unrestricted free agent Evgeni Nabokov and restricted [...]
There’s no telling how many games the New York Mets have lost this season because Ike Davis has failed to deliver at the plate. But Wednesday, the usually sure-handed Davis cost the Mets a game because of his defense, as the Cincinnati Reds completed a sweep of the Mets at Citi Field. Davis had two [...]
Prior to the 2011-12 season, the New Orleans Pelicans (known as the Hornets at that time) traded Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers and the key piece they received in return was Eric Gordon. Gordon has continuously been plagued with injuries since entering the NBA, but when he has been on the court he [...]
The Florida State Seminoles lost a ton of talent from their defensive line in 2012. Bjoern Werner (1st round pick, Indianapolis Colts), Cornellius ‘Tank’ Carradine (2nd round pick, San Francisco 49ers), Brandon Jenkins (5th round pick, Washington Redskins) and Everett Dawkins (7th round pick, Minnesota Vikings) are all gone. Fact: those players combined for 69.5 [...]
Five-star Greensboro, North Carolina native Theo Pinson has decided he will attend the University of North Carolina to play basketball after his senior year in high school. Pinson is already the third top-15 recruit to commit to Carolina from the class of 2014 as he made his decision today. ESPN has Pinson as the No. 13 [...]
During the 2012 Olympics, Duke University and USA men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said he would not coach team USA any longer. Well after many rumors and speculation it has been reported by Sports Illustrated that coach Krzyzewski will be coaching in the 2016 Olympics. This decision is good news for team USA and the [...]
Miami may be living it up on the hard wood, but South Beach was shut out in the bidding for Super Bowls L and LI as those were awarded to San Francisco and Houston. What’s interesting is both the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans are division winners and seem to be poised for deep [...]
There is no denying Dallas Cowboys star running back DeMarco Murray‘s talent. He runs with a rare blend of power and speed and almost with abandoned recklessness. Perhaps that’s why he has yet to play more than 13 games in a season after two years in the NFL. We know the guy can run inside, [...]
When the Big Ten Network released its primetime football schedule for 2013, it was nice to see that the network would be airing 12 games at night for the first time in network history. Awesome news, right? I mean, who doesn’t enjoy night games? Fans get all day to enjoy their usual pregame “festivities.” The [...]

When the Big Ten Conference came to its senses and ditched the “Legends” and “Leaders” divisional names in favor of the more traditional “East” and “West”, and decided to realign the conference to cater to more regional rivalries, I was one of the first to say that the new divisional breakdown was much more balanced than it [...]

Why is Michigan AD Dave Brandon skeptical about the new college football playoff system that is set to begin in 2014? Does it make too much sense for Brandon to realize that people would like to see championships decided on the field as opposed to what computers tell us? At a recent speaking engagement in [...]

I have always believed that the Heisman Trophy should be given to the best player in college football during that particular season, regardless of a team’s record. That is why I felt former Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh deserved to win the award in 2009 and Wisconsin running back Montee Ball should have taken home the [...]

Rumors have been swirling the past couple of days about a possible matchup between the LSU Tigers and the Wisconsin Badgers. When news first broke, it was believed that LSU AD Joe Alleva had all but shot down the idea of his Tigers playing the University of Wisconsin citing the possibility of the SEC moving [...]

It’s not a secret that the SEC has dominated the college football landscape for nearly a decade–winning the last seven BCS national championships–and if SEC commissioner Mike Slive has his way, his conference will continue its reign when the new playoff format begins in 2014. Slive’s no dummy, so what better way to increase the odds [...]

I understand that ESPN’s Mark Schlabach likes to do his Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25, and I can’t really argue with much that he says (they are just opinion, after all), but putting the Michigan Wolverines at the number nine spot is utterly ridiculous. While it is nice to see an SEC apologist give the Big [...]

The “hype” machine is already in full force for Coach Pat Fitzgerald and his Northwestern Wildcats heading into the 2013 college football season. But go ahead and count me out of that particular group. It may seem as if I am picking on the Wildcats and their head coach lately, but I can promise you that [...]

In my opinion, former Minnesota Golden Gophers quarterback/wide receiver Marqueis Gray is one of the most intriguing prospects for this year’s NFL Draft. No, Gray won’t be seen walking across the Radio City Music Hall stage tonight to shake hands with Commissioner Roger Goodell as a first round draft choice. But there is no doubt in [...]

Ever since the University of Wisconsin held its annual spring game last Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium, the buzz coming from the sidelines was primarily focused around the quarterback position. Coming in to the game, many considered Joel Stave and Curt Phillips the two frontrunners for the starting quarterback position for the Badgers next fall, and [...]
