After predicting the outcomes for the first four games on the 2013 New England Patriots’ schedule and then examining their next four contests from Weeks 5-8, I will now analyze their matchups for Weeks 9 through 13. According to my predictions, the New England Patriots enter Week 9 with a dominant 7-1 record. The Pittsburgh [...]
When the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues met on Sunday for the first game of a back-to-back set, the Avalanche abused Blues goaltender Brian Elliott en route to a 5-3 win and prevented St. Louis from clinching a playoff spot. On Tuesday night the Blues got some revenge, limiting the Avalanche to one goal [...]
The idea of splitting up Chase Utley and Ryan Howard in the Philadelphia Phillies‘ lineup is preposterous. That comment would have been fair to make in mid-March, when both men looked like they were healthy and ready to roll again. As of late-April, Charlie Manuel’s latest move makes complete sense. Until lately, Utley has generally [...]
The big name players of the Oklahoma City Thunder are the reason everyone expects the Thunder to face the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals. However, it is not the high-powered offense of Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook who will lead them to victory in the Western Conference again this season, but the defensive presence of Serge Ibaka. Ibaka is a defensive monster in the [...]
As Kenny Vaccaro prepares himself for the NFL Draft on Thursday, the Texas Longhorns have been facing difficult questions about the state of their secondary heading into the 2013 season. Head coach Mack Brown has to find someone who can fill Vaccaro’s shoes at safety and put a top on a Longhorns’ defense that was [...]
St. John’s Red Storm’s Amir Garrett will be leaving the school, according to ESPN. Whatever the reason may be, Garrett has one heck of a summer job playing for the Cincinnati Reds in MLB. How cool would that be? Although there are many athletes that could and have gone pro in two different sports, [...]
The Tampa Bay Rays are off to a 9-11 start this season, but given their recent struggles it’s clear that something may have been missing. Penguins. That has to be it. In one incredible moment that will go down in Tampa Bay history, penguins have arrived in the Rays’ clubhouse. And with that, everything about [...]
When it comes to the best pass rushers from college football in 2012, the argument can be made that no player was more effective last season than Texas A&M‘s DaMontre Moore and the defensive end hopes to have that same impact at the pro level now that the 2013 NFL Draft is finally here. There [...]
One fantasy baseball prospect that is being somewhat overlooked is Cleveland Indians SS Francisco Lindor. Lindor was the team’s first round pick in 2011, but since he is only 19 years old, most people are passing on him. Lindor is another young prospect that is currently tearing up the minors. He has a .317 batting [...]
Liverpool FC striker Luis Suarez bit Chelsea FC defender Branislav Ivanovic in a 2-2 draw. His actions drew reactions from the Twitter world, with athletes like Mike Tyson defending and downplaying the incident. Suarez was fined an undisclosed amount by his team, but today the FA dropped a 10-game ban for the incident. Liverpool only [...]
I’m curious as to when the NCAA is going to start doing something about coaches leaving programs just before sanctions leave a program in shambles. Pete Carroll left USC for the NFL at such a coincidentally, perfect time it is almost humorous. Now, to add to the list, former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly is [...]

We should have known it was coming. I mean, why would Chip Kelly be any different? What am I talking about? Well, in case you missed it, Oregon and the NCAA have made public their findings that the school has been guilty of major violations, the majority of which happened during Kelly’s tenure as head [...]

Mark Helfrich takes over as head coach of the Oregon Ducks in 2013, and he will be trying to keep the high-powered offense started by Chip Kelly rolling next season. He figures to add a bit more of a passing element to the offense next fall and will need playmakers to emerge at wide receiver. [...]

In 2013, the Oregon Ducks showed a different side to them that was never seen in all the Chip Kelly years: a good defense. The Ducks allowed 21.6 points per game last season; which was good enough to be ranked 25th in the nation. The combination of great play from the secondary and the front seven [...]

The Oregon Ducks started the 2013 season on Tuesday, this time without Chip Kelly as their head coach. Oregon looks to have its players take more of a leadership role than they ever have before, and the consensus after the first few practices has been that redshirt sophomore Marcus Mariota has stepped up to be [...]

The Oregon Ducks have never been short of talent on the football field, but the term inconsistent is also used often when describing this program. Even though Chip Kelly is now the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Ducks still have the talent to become NCAAF National Champions in 2013. Last year, the Ducks [...]

The Oregon Ducks have shown over the past few years how exciting college football can be with their style of play. Oregon may have lost Chip Kelly to another coaching position, but I don’t see that slowing down this Ducks team at all. The amount of talent from last season’s team may not be there [...]

The Oregon Ducks have become one of the best teams in college football over the last four years under now-former head coach Chip Kelly. When Kelly bolted for the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles, many were left to wonder if he would be taking the Ducks’ run of success with him. So with Oregon fans [...]

During Chip Kelly‘s tenure as head coach of the Oregon Ducks, he utilized a “next man up” philosophy. When LaMichael James left Eugene, he simply plugged in Kenjon Barner and kept on rolling. However, Kelly is gone to the NFL now, and there are serious questions about the “next” guys at running back, so could [...]
