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 Washington Redskins were the best rushing team in the NFL last season, averaging 169.3 yards per game. There are questions already leading into the 2013 season about how quickly quarterback Robert Griffin III can recover and if he will be available in Week 1, and there is also the question of whether or not [...]
When the Tennessee Titans drafted Jake Locker with the eighth overall pick of the NFL Draft in 2011, there were big things expected from him right away. Locker has come up far short of those expectations and now faces a third season that could turn into a make or break campaign for him. If he [...]
It was a season to remember for the Seattle Seahawks with an 11-5 record and an appearance in the NFC Divisional Round. It all started with the selection of Russell Wilson in the third round of the NFL Draft. Wilson threw for 3,118 yards last year with 26 touchdowns and ten interceptions. It is going [...]
The NFL is going to announce the location of arguably the biggest Super Bowl ever this month when the destination of Super Bowl L is determined between Miami and San Francisco. The Florida House defeated a bill a couple weeks ago that would have allowed the Miami Dolphins to fix up Sun Life Stadium which [...]
The career of Steve Smith appeared to be closing down as his numbers declined through the 2008-10 seasons. Smith was down to just 46 catches and 554 yards during the 2010 year. The Carolina Panthers then drafted Cam Newton as their new quarterback, and things have turned around for Smith. He had 79 catches in [...]
There were a lot of running backs in the NFL Draft that could be looked at as potential starters this season. The one name that I waited for was Montee Ball, and he was taken in the second round by the Denver Broncos. I think Ball is going to be the steal of the draft [...]
Jay Cutler took a pounding from a lot of other players around the NFL along with fans when he sat out in the second half of the NFC Championship Game a few years ago. It is now the final year of Cutler’s contract with the Chicago Bears, and if he wants to get a new [...]
If you take a very close look at the Carolina Panthers, you see a team that is in a bit of a transition especially with their quarterback Cam Newton. He will be going into his third NFL season in 2013 and is going to be looked at to improve to a point where Carolina can [...]
I was kind of surprised when the Kansas City Chiefs decided to go with Eric Fisher with the No. 1 pick in last month’s NFL Draft. I was expecting that the Chiefs would go with Luke Joeckel instead just because he played against better competition. The drafting of Fisher to go with Branden Albert on [...]
There will be a lot of players on a mission when the 2013 season starts around the NFL. The one player that I expect to really rebound from the 2012 year is going to be Maurice Jones-Drew. Jones-Drew ran for just 414 yards during an injury-plagued season, and there is no way that he is [...]
