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 – [...]
The emergence of the read-option in the NFL has defensive coordinators across the league sifting through screen shots and videotapes to find a way to stop it. For the New York Giants, it is no different, as they’ll have plenty of games where they’ll need to figure out an effective way to stop it. The [...]
Former New York Giants’ RB Ahmad Bradshaw has signed with the Indianapolis Colts, a one-year deal worth $1.1 million with bonuses and incentives. The New England Patriots seemed to be entering talks as well, but the Colts are clearly a better fit. It may not appear to be a good fit for Bradshaw for either [...]
When taking a glance at the first four games of the 2013 season for the New York Giants, it isn’t out of the possibility that the Giants will start 0-4. Three of the first four games are on the road, and the one home game in that stretch is against the QB Peyton Manning and [...]
One would have thought that the New York Giants would’ve been able to lock up WR Victor Cruz to a multi-year deal by now. However nothing has been finalized and the negotiations have been surprisingly quiet. Cruz received an offer a couple of months ago, but he refused and is now looking for something the [...]
The New York Giants surprisingly decided to release RB Ahmad Bradshaw this offseason, but it was widely believed there would be a solid market out there for him. There was initial interest from several teams, and he even landed a visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was thought that he would soon sign with the [...]
The New York Giants had a productive tight end in TE Martellus Bennett last season, but decided he wasn’t worth bringing back and taking up cap space they wanted to use re-signing other players. The Giants replaced Bennett, who signed a multi-year deal with the Chicago Bears, with former Oakland Raiders’ TE Brandon Myers. Myers [...]
Former New York Giants’ WR Steve Smith announced his retirement from the NFL yesterday, calling it quits because of injuries. Smith had a promising start to his career after being drafted in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of USC. Smith was overshadowed at USC by WR Dwayne Jarrett, but he would end up having a better pro career than Jarrett. [...]
The New York Giants surprisingly released DT Chris Canty in the offseason, but Canty didn’t have any trouble landing with another team. Canty signed with the defending champions Baltimore Ravens shortly after being released, and it now appears Canty may be upset at being released. Canty was asked which quarterback was better; Giants’ QB Eli Manning or Ravens’ QB Joe Flacco. Canty, without any [...]
The New York Giants used one of their draft picks in the recent 2013 NFL Draft on Texas A&M DE Damontre Moore. Moore slid a couple of rounds despite his pass-rushing talent because of his maturity and size. However, there’s no denying he could be the future pass-rusher lining up opposite of DE Jason Pierre-Paul. The Giants also have LB Mathias Kiwanuka, who seems to [...]
In all likelihood, the absence of New York Giants’ WR Hakeem Nicks means that his agents have gotten to him, and he’ll be demanding a new contract before the start of the season. This is a legitimate concern for the Giants as they already are dealing with contract negotiations for free agent WR Victor Cruz. Nicks’ absence forced the [...]
