Just as they have in the past couple of summers, the Philadelphia Flyers are going to be a team to watch in the offseason. A club in the market in which they play was met with massive disappointment, which could mean quite a shakeup as far as their roster is concerned this summer. If there is a [...]
200-plus innings. 190 strikeouts. A win-loss record of 18-7 with a 2.73/1.13 ERA/WHIP. By the end of the season (at the current pace), the Tampa Bay Rays may very well have a pitcher with numbers that are good enough not just to lead the team as its ace, but to contend for the AL Cy [...]
Last night, the ping-pong balls bounced exactly the way everyone expected them to for the Philadelphia 76ers. While they had a chance to move up or down during the NBA Draft Lottery, they ended up right where they had the highest probability of being. They will select 11th in the 2013 NBA Draft, which is not the most pleasant spot [...]
USC Trojans wide receiver Marqise Lee won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top receiver in 2012. Could USC head coach Lane Kiffin seriously consider switching a player of that caliber to a new position — on defense? Maybe. The possibility of Lee playing defense first emerged last season along with serious troubles in [...]
It is not everyday that you hear a player in college basketball getting blocked off of the court. In Vanderbilt Commodores’ Sheldon Jeter’s case, coach Kevin Stallings has decided to block Jeter from transferring to the Pittsburgh Panthers, according to Post-Gazette. Apparently, Stallings seems like he does not want his player to go anywhere, or [...]
Even though he’s no longer a member of the Detroit Lions, wide receiver Titus Young has been quite the popular topic over the last couple of weeks as he’s struggled to stay out of trouble with the law. It’s one thing for a professional athlete to have a run in with the law, but the [...]
From an offensive perspective, the Carolina Panthers are one of the most exciting teams to watch in all of football. Largely due to the young superstar under center. We know how good he is, and we will get into that in detail. So, let’s take a look at the fantasy good and bad of the [...]
The USA will play host to yet another CONCACAF Gold Cup later on this summer from July 7 to the 28 with nothing but winning on their mind. Losses to Mexico in the finals of both 2009 and 2011 are enough fuel to propel them to play a good tournament. This time around, they will call [...]
As the San Francisco 49ers‘ search for a new No. 2 tight end continues, Trent Baalke and Co. remain busy scouring the 2013 NFL Draft class for a potential replacement to Delanie Walker, who left via free agency to sign with the Tennessee Titans. Walker is one of the more versatile TE’s you’ll find in [...]
San Francisco 49ers running back Kendall Hunter made the most of every snap he received in 2012, rushing for 371 yards and two touchdowns on just 71 carries before suffering a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints. The 5.2 yards per carry Hunter averaged last season was a full [...]
Trent Baalke and the San Francisco 49ers refuse to leave any stone unturned when it comes to the NFL Draft, and we shouldn’t expect 2013 to be any different. Baalke and Co. will arrive to the party equipped with 13 selections, and though they aren’t expected to use them all on prospects, the possibilities of [...]
The San Francisco 49ers found themselves another low-risk, high-reward free agent this Spring in cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who signed a one-year, $1.35 million deal on Tuesday. If the four-time All-Pro can’t crack the Niners 53-man roster out of training camp, San Fran will still have three more than capable corners heading into the 2013 NFL season. [...]
Right tackle Anthony Davis has finally evolved into the player the San Francisco 49ers envisioned him becoming when they selected the Rutgers product 11th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft, and now he’ll be donning the Red and Gold through the 2019 season after agreeing to a 5-year, $37.3 million contract extension Thursday night. It [...]
If the San Francisco 49ers choose not to address their need for a cornerback in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, they should seriously consider taking N.C. State‘s David Amerson with one of their two second round picks. None of the corners currently on the Niners’ roster are taller than six feet, and the [...]
Some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL suit up for teams that reside in the same conference as the San Francisco 49ers. The NFC is home to veteran and perennial Pro Bowl signal-callers Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees, in addition to talented youngsters like Cam Newton, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson. Oh, and [...]
The San Francisco 49ers are looking to add another cornerback this offseason and have been in talks with free agent Nnamdi Asomugha for over a week now. But the veteran DB is reportedly torn between San Fran and the New Orleans Saints (who are making a strong push for his services) and has yet to [...]
