J.J. Watt has a new best friend. Not that he needed a whole lot of help to begin with, but the Houston Texans wanted to make sure that Watt had somebody to catch all those deflected passes he sends flying on a weekly basis. What better free agent to sign than the ex-Baltimore Ravens safety Ed [...]
While the New York Rangers attempt to foil the Washington Capitals as they did in last year’s Eastern Conference semifinal, they might be without one of their key young forward in J.T. Miller. The 20-year old center is listed day-to-day with a left wrist injury that occurred in Thursday’s contest against the Florida Panthers. “I [...]
There are a lot of expectations on the Pittsburgh Pirates this season. The team traded their closer Joel Hanrahan away in the off-season and is going to go with Jason Grilli, who has never been a closer before in his career. This could turn into a move that haunts Pittsburgh in 2013 if Grilli can’t get the [...]
The Boston Celtics typically like tweener players who can play multiple positions. Jeff Green is one example of the hybrid guy they typically like to have as he has played the two through four positions this season for the ball club. It has allowed head coach Doc Rivers to be very versatile with his lineups, especially [...]
The Miami Hurricanes are looking to regain their form on the football field in 2012 after taking two years of self-imposed sanctions. Al Golden has led the Canes through a tumultuous NCAA investigation and is strengthening the program to return it to the top of the ACC. With Denzel Perryman at middle linebacker in 2013, [...]
The Minnesota Golden Gophers‘ fan base is a fickle bunch of people. Lost in their train of thought while discussing the employment of Tubby Smith has been their lack of appearances in the NCAA Tournament pre-Smith. Before this year being Smith’s third appearance with the program, the Golden Gophers have only legally appeared in the big [...]
Not many people knew a lot about the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles or Chase Fieler. After Friday night, that certainly changed. The Eagles were dunking on everyone and Fieler was leading the charge. In fact, Fieler may have had the play of the day with this epic finish of an alley-oop pass. If you want [...]
No. 7 San Diego State vs. No. 15 Florida Gulf Coast Yes, you read those teams names correctly. No. 15 Florida Gulf Coast advanced through to the third round, after not just shocking No. 2 Georgetown, but absolutely manhandling the Hoyas. The Eagles led by as much as 19 points in their win on Friday [...]
All year the Miami Heat have been carrying fantasy basketball owners. Superstars like LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh have become cornerstones of franchises, and the threesome is ready to continue their success into the fantasy postseason. Here is a quick look at the Heat’s road trip this week: 3/25/2013 – Miami Heat @ [...]
Conditions were not so ideal Friday night in a World Cup Qualifying match between the United States Men’s soccer team and Costa Rica. Yes, it’s Colorado. Yes, sometimes it snows here. Both teams came out to play and both were playing in the same conditions. It is reported that Costa Rica plans to protest FIFA [...]
The Baltimore Ravens have re-upped with Joe Flacco, and now their remaining in-house free agents will get their share of attention as the first domino has fallen. The defending champs have several key free agents, but there is one in particular who the Miami Dolphins (and their Dolfans) are watching closely, and that is former [...]
The Atlanta Falcons were incredibly close to going to Super Bowl XLVII, and despite being the No.1 seed in the NFC for the second time in the last three seasons, there is still something left to be desired on this roster. Offensively they are good, and with or without Tony Gonzalez that will still be [...]
When Mike Smith took over the Atlanta Falcons in 2008, he inherited a team that had a few seasons in a row where they got worse and worse for discipline and penalties. The season prior to Smith’s hiring saw the Falcons flagged the 26th most times in the NFL. Smith and his staff improved that [...]
Atlanta Falcons left tackle Sam Baker is a free agent and I can see points to make about the idea of re-upping with him and points to make sbout the idea of leting him go. 2012 was his best as a pro for the former first rounder and his play seemed to dip a tad [...]
NFL free agency is usually interesting, and I am intrigued by the future of Atlanta Falcons defensive back Brent Grimes (he likes to be called Grimey…just kidding…hardcore fans of The Simpsons will like that one!). Grimes will be 30 when next season begins, and he missed 2012 with a Achilles issue but that seems to [...]
For all of 2012 we saw Tony Gonzalez put his retirement percentage anywhere from 95-99 percent despite the fact that he is still a phenomenal tight end who produces with the best of them (better even). At 36 years old T-Gon had more yards this season than all 36 year old tight ends combined in NFL [...]
There are conflicting reports regarding the Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver Miles Austin as some say he will be cut by the team while others say no way that will happen. Either way I am still intrigued because the Miami Dolphins have the draft picks available to bring Austin’s talents to South Beach. Austin has [...]
Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland will not quite go all the way to say that this is a make-or-break off-season for his job, but he does acknowledge this is a massively important period of time in his tenure. The team has a ton of cash to spend, and they have brought 50+ employees to [...]
We know the Miami Dolphins will be spending money this off-season, and it is very likely the offense that will benefit the most, especially the wide receiver position. That seems weird on the surface, as Davone Bess is the only good receiver on the roster as we speak, but Brian Hartline could very well be re-signed, [...]
The Miami Dolphins have one of the premier pass rushers on earth in Cameron Wake, and the offseason will have a few opportunities for the franchise to add a defensive end to play opposite Wake, which would give them a pass rushing presence on every snap. The Dolphins spend a significant amount of money on [...]
