Last season, one of the biggest surprises turned out to be Matt Flynn losing the starting job with the Seattle Seahawks to Russell Wilson–who played a key role in helping the team reach the playoffs last year. Now, Flynn is looking forward to a fresh start with the Oakland Raiders and while the competition may [...]
The storied divisional rivalry between the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings had to end the way it did on Wednesday night. It wasn’t pretty at all, with penalties, shoving and controversy in abundance, but in the end, the two teams, who will now be in opposite conferences, shook hands in the middle of the [...]
After a shaky start to the regular season, the Philadelphia Phillies are slowly working their way back to having a .500 record after another impressive win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. For a team that has been dealing with too many injuries, the Phillies have had to overcome more than they would have [...]
This season the New York Knicks were able to win a playoff series and advance to the second round of the NBA postseason for the first time in over a decade before fizzing out against the Indiana Pacers. One of the reasons for the Knicks demise was their lack of a complementary scorer to Carmelo [...]
Although the Clemson Tigers are by no means considered a huge underdog in their August 31, season-opening contest against the Georgia Bulldogs, not many actually expect them to win the game. Hang with the ‘Dawgs? Yes. Beat them? No. However, this week the Tigers were bestowed upon them a gift, via the off-season misfortunes of [...]
Christian Watford may not be the most raved about player entering the 2013 NBA Draft, but he was great for the Indiana Hoosiers, even in his senior season when Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo seemed like the only two talked about players on this team. Who knows if Watford will make it in the NBA, [...]
Over the last couple of years, photo bombing has become quite the popular trend with professional sports and whether you’re a fan of the acts or not–you can’t deny the fact that it’s hysterical to see athletes pull them off. One of the latest victims–Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers. As you can see in [...]
Ripping Washington D.C. of its famous “Redskins” nickname is like taking the Cowboys out of Dallas and then renaming them the Dallas Sheriffs. Sure, the change might satisfy the radical groups who love to rain on parades, but dropping Redskins should not be in the plans of perhaps the most popular NFL team. Unfortunately, the radical groups [...]
A torrid start to the season for Baltimore Orioles 1B Chris Davis has continued all the way through May, and there is no end in sight for his fantasy baseball owners. Davis crushed his league-leading 18th and 19th home runs during a 4-for-4 night in Wednesday’s 9-6 win over the Washington Nationals Wednesday night. After [...]
I seriously hope that England has far more options to pick from later this year when the crucial World Cup qualifiers arrive, because from tonight’s performance, there was little to be hopeful about. Joe Hart — 6/10 Hart had a fairly uneventful outing. He was beaten by a great Shane Long header, which he can’t [...]
The time has come for your monthly Dumb Jock of the Month award. February’s award-winning jock was Da’Quan Bowers, who was dumb enough to have a firearm in his carry-on without thinking he would get nabbed by La Guardia airport’s security. Bowers, who is a defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is going to need one [...]
This is beginning to look bad for the New England Patriots. It seems as if dark times are ahead; Pats’ nation seems to be in distress. The once glorious Patriots, the team anyone would have loved to suit up in red, white, and blue, seems to be having loyalty issues. First it was Wes Welker. [...]
I bet that there is an uproar in Massachusetts right now. If you thought the Boston Tea party caused an insurrection, I am almost certain that by the end of the week, there will be a riot or a ruckus of some sort over the latest disaster that took place in Foxborough. New England Patriots fans must [...]
It seems that Wes Welker has shown his true colors–no, they aren’t red, white, and blue, either. After becoming a home name while playing for the New England Patriots, Welker made two trips to the Super Bowl and surmounted a number of accolades. Indeed, he was one of Tom Brady’s favorite targets. But that’s where the tension [...]
Today is March 13, 2013. Although it’s the middle of the week and not Friday, there’s still that omen feeling hovering around today. It’s the NFL Free Agency season. Teams are either signing on new players or releasing them. Whether or not these add-ons or let-goes are either good or bad for a team, that won’t [...]
We’ve all been taught that there is no “i” in team as children growing up. With that being said, what’s Wes Welker’s problem? Does he not understand the importance that teamwork is more monumental than individualism in professional football? I can understand if he was a jock playing college football and he made such a [...]
So New England Patriots’ owner, Robert Kraft, was generous enough to spend more cheese on Tom Brady for another three years? That’s reasonable. I wouldn’t have gone more than five years, either. In having saying that, what does this contract extension mean for the Golden Boy? This means one thing: Brady has three years to [...]
Dumb Jock of the Month. I had to do it! What is it going to take for these athletes to realize that they are actually role models and that little children and teenagers admire them and ultimately, emulate them? What is going to take? Not a Lombardi Trophy. Not an NFL MVP! Not a ten million dollar [...]
Okay, this is an unfortunate experience. However, at the expense of the dumb jock, I will capitalize on this situation as a journalist. After all, what interesting news in the off-season of the NFL would there be to write about if there weren’t individuals as Da’Quan Bowers, defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? If you haven’t [...]
When discussing the New England Patriots, two things come into mind: Tom Brady and the number one offense. This has been New England’s rep in the NFL as of late. You will hear the phrase, “If you can’t put up 30 points against New England, you won’t beat them.” I would say that is more [...]
