Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson has had some solid seasons in years past. He has proven that he is a legitimate vertical threat and can stretch the field forcing two defenders to cover him on the go route. However, the past two seasons have showed a drop-off in production. This means that Jackson needs to [...]
He was the biggest free agent on the market two summers ago. His veteran leadership was shown by the clutch goals he scored throughout the playoffs for the New York Rangers. Now after faltering this season Brad Richards might be the victim of a buyout by the Rangers. During his second year on Broadway, Richards [...]
It’s hard to see Miguel Cabrera ever experiencing a slump of any sort, especially judging by the way he’s been hitting the ball in 2013. The Detroit Tigers slugger has been having his best year so far– and that’s a scary thought. In the nine games leading up until the most recent series with the [...]
Danny Green has been the biggest and the most surprising story of the 2013 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat. Through the first five games of the series with the Spurs holding a 3-2 lead, Green has already set the record for most three-pointers made in a Finals series, breaking [...]
The Rant Sports 100 in 100 College Football Previews roll on today and it makes a stop in Berkley with the Cal Bears who come in at No. 74. Cal is finally moving on from the Jeff Tedford era and they are hoping new coach Sonny Dykes can revitalize a struggling program. In the last [...]
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 [...]
Rob Gronkowski went under the knife yet again today for surgery on his back, his fifth surgery since November. The recovery period for Gronk’s procedure is said to be around 12 weeks, and there is now a growing concern in the New England Patriots organization that he might miss some regular season games. This leads to [...]
It’s been heavily reported recently that Andre Villas-Boas has emerged as the leading candidate for the soon-to-be available Paris Saint-Germain job. PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti appears to be departing for Real Madrid, so the French side need a manager who can bring real prosperity to the big spending club. Another frequently reported element to the [...]
The Chicago Bears are escaping the mid-fall weather and heading south to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. The game is slated to kickoff at 4:05 PM (EST) which is great because that means I will be able to grab one last round on the links before the snow kicks in. Although, if I [...]
The Chicago Bears are currently sitting pretty at 3-1 and are tied with the Minnesota Vikings for first place in the NFC North. I am pretty sure everyone out there did not see this one coming. The Vikings having a better record than both the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. This is my [...]
Well the Chicago Bears finally did it. Finally put forth a performance worthy of a national audience. And I, for one, couldn’t be happier that it was against the Dallas Cowboys. Outside of the other NFC North teams, the Cowboys are easily my least favorite team. Not sure if it is Jerry Jones, Tony Romo [...]
I don’t think I am the only one out there right now who thinks the start to the 2012 Chicago Bears season has been just a tad lackluster. And when I say that, I am focusing entirely on the offense because, lets face it, the defense has been lookin’ pretty sexy. Tim Jennings. Shea McClellin. [...]
Watching the Chicago Bears beat the St. Louis Rams felt like an ordeal yesterday. The game was so incredibly boring that I had a difficult time not falling asleep on my couch. I mean, this is live professional football on TV and I can barely keep my eyes open. That’s a bit of a problem. [...]
The Chicago Bears are holding on to a 10-3 lead against the St. Louis Rams going into the half. I feel like I am watching a Bears game circa 1997 where a couple of field goals and stout defense will put a notch in the win column. That being said, here are a few takeaways [...]
The Chicago Bears welcome the St. Louis Rams to Soldier Field on Sunday where they will be looking to avenge an embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers, in front of what is expected to be a sold out – and likely very critical – crowd. The Bears severely polarized the city of Chicago with [...]
Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte continues to be held out of practice due to the (not high) ankle sprain he suffered against the Green Bay Packers last Thursday evening. Surprise Surprise: Lovie Smith has zero relevant information on Forte’s status. What’s even more surprising is that Forte doesn’t even appear on the Bears’ [...]
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was on the Waddle & Silvy show on ESPN 1000 this afternoon for his weekly one-hour spot. The trio covered a wide variety of issues including the shoving incident with J’Marcus Webb, the comments made by D.J. Moore and the team’s overall performance against the Green Bay Packers. Now [...]
After the Chicago Bears absolute destruction of the Indianapolis Colts, it was expected to see the Bears show up rather high on Rant Sports’ Week 2 Power Rankings. The Bears came in at #5 largely in thanks to their (what seemed to be) unstoppable areal attack and relentless pass rush. My reaction to their #5 [...]
