The New York Jets have one of the most interesting situations heading into training camp as nobody knows what to expect from the quarterback position. At the moment, it’s safe to say the starting job is Mark Sanchez‘s to lose and now that David Garrard is out of the picture–should the former first-round pick be [...]
It’s no secret the Ottawa Senators want to play with an edge. But their physicality could end up backfiring, resulting in stupid, costly penalties. That was certainly what happened in Friday night’s 4-3 loss to the seemingly unstoppable Pittsburgh Penguins. After seeing the Penguins vault out to an early 2-0 lead, the Senators likely wondered if this game [...]
I remember a player from the 1980s named Bob Horner that always looked like he was about to get a big hit. The Kansas City Royals of current day have someone like that in star DH Billy Butler. Butler has led the charge as the Royals begin to heat up again and make a run [...]
The Charlotte Bobcats have started the process of changing their name back to “Hornets,” according to CBSSports.com’s Will Brinson. There is currently no timetable as to when the change will be made, but Adam Silver, David Stern’s replacement as commissioner of the NBA, made it clear that a name change would take around 18 months to process. Silver told season-ticket holders re-acquiring [...]
Coming off a 2012 season that would have seen a trip to the ACC Championship Game had it not been for sanctions preventing that from occurring, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding the North Carolina Tar Heels football program heading into 2013. The bulk of that buzz is mainly due to the fact that the [...]
Kyle Wiltjer will be a junior in the 2013-14 college basketball season for the Kentucky Wildcats. With so much talent coming in, can Wiltjer be a leader for this team? Although Wiltjer will be a veteran, it may be hard for him to get playing time. It’s not like John Calipari is just going to [...]
Let’s be honest–Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is living the dream at the moment as he’s sitting on top of the college football world after winning the Heisman last year. Manziel’s celebrity status has taken off over the last year as he’s become a national icon just about anywhere he goes and after he was [...]
Two years ago, Lucas Nogueira declared for the 2011 NBA Draft at the age of 18. However, it was a shaky decision and Nogueira eventually retracted his name from contention to better prepare himself for the professional level here in the United States. Now, at the age of 20, Nogueira is re-entering his name with [...]
It has been almost 14 years since an Atlético Madrid team defeated Real Madrid. In those years, they have played 25 times with Atlético Madrid failing to register a win in the Derby Madrileño. Yet the run of going winless against their bigger, richer and more attractive city rival came to an end on Friday night as Atlético [...]
Second-year defensive end Bruce Irvin of the Seattle Seahawks will reportedly miss the first four games of the 2013 season due to a suspension for violating the NFL‘s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Irvin had a pretty solid rookie year last season amassing eight total sacks and improving consistently throughout the year. This could be a [...]
With the NFL season rapidly approaching, I thought it might be fun to take a look at each probable starter for the Seattle Seahawks and try to figure out what is expected of them this year as well as predict what kind of production they will have. For the first one, I decided to take [...]
When the Seattle Seahawks selected LSU cornerback Tharold Simon in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, they found a player who almost perfectly fits their defensive identity. At 6’2” and 202 pounds, Simon is exactly what Pete Carroll and John Schneider look for in their secondary players; he’s big. Simon’s size isn’t the [...]
The Seattle Seahawks have already ended the brief experiment they started when they signed professional basketball player Darren Fells to a three-year deal a couple of months ago. Fells’ departure is somewhat unexpected, but it most likely came as a result of the Seahawks selecting Rice tight end Luke Willson in the 2013 NFL Draft. [...]
Going into the offseason, the biggest need for the Seattle Seahawks was on the defensive line, especially at defensive end. While they do return starter Chris Clemons and second-year end Bruce Irvin, the Seahawks added two big free agents, as both of those players could be question marks heading into this year. Clemons is coming [...]
The Seattle Seahawks may not have had an area of any major concern in the 2013 NFL Draft, but one area where they could have used some depth was at wide receiver. They addressed this “need” in the fourth round when they selected wide receiver Chris Harper out of Kansas State. Harper gives the Seahawks [...]
Jon Ryan, the punter for the Seattle Seahawks, was at Safeco Field in Seattle, Wash. yesterday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Seattle Mariners took on the Baltimore Orioles. Jon, interestingly enough, is a big baseball fan and a season ticket holder with the Seattle Mariners. He’s just one of the many [...]
The Seattle Seahawks, led by head coach Pete Carroll and John Schneider, have been incredibly successful in the NFL Draft the last few years and this year looked to be no different. Armed with 11 total draft picks, the Seahawks appear to have come away with an incredibly talented crop of young, talented players yet again. With their [...]
The Seattle Seahawks are no strangers to surprising people with their picks in the NFL Draft, and they did it again this year, picking running back Christine Michael. The Seahawks already have an All-Pro running back in Marshawn Lynch and a very good backup in Robert Turbin, but they still opted to take Michael with [...]
With the 2013 NFL Draft upon us, I thought I would take the opportunity to watch some film on players who are typically projected in mock drafts to go around the 56th pick, which is the first pick the Seattle Seahawks have this year. I decided to scout not just all of the players who are projected to go around pick [...]
