The Vancouver Canucks selected five players in the 2012 draft, and as they now turn their attention to this summer’s draft, they may finally want to look at some of the close-to-home talent available in the WHL. This year’s draft is incredibly deep, and features a lot of talent from the Western Hockey League, which [...]
For the past few years Clayton Kershaw has definitely been one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball. Kershaw has been the golden goose for the Los Angeles Dodgers to be certain. In an outing against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday Kershaw finally showed that rare human quality that we all know is [...]
The Philadelphia 76ers and new General Manager Sam Hinkie are going to be making major changes to the team this off-season in hopes of making them more into a playoff team than a team in the lottery of the NBA Draft, like they currently are. That’s going to take some savvy moves in free agency [...]
2013 will mark the final season for the Tulane Green Wave as a member of Conference-USA before they depart off to the American Athletic Conference. With the chance to play in a bigger conference on the horizon, plus moving into their brand new on-campus stadium, second-year head coach Curtis Johnson is looking to improve on [...]
John Beilein has made himself an immensely successful career based off of his three-point heavy offensive sets. His teams have always passed and moved around the perimeter, stretching the defense and opening up three-point opportunities for the many shooters on the court. This has been so successful for Beilein, as he has been able [...]
Here are some lyrics by Biggie Smalls: “And She Loves To Show Me Off Of Course, Smile Every Time My Face Is Up In The Source.” We all know Hip Hop started in New York. New York Jets defensive tackle Damon Harrison must not know he plays in New York. Harrison recently listed his top five Hip Hop MCs via [...]
The major private school in Oklahoma – Tulsa — and the two major state universities — Oklahoma and Oklahoma State — are usually not fond of one another, especially when it comes to college sports, but after this week’s tragedy in Oklahoma City, these universities have put their on-field rivalries aside, and have come together to raise [...]
When it comes to Fantasy Football, there may not be a more annoying aspect than a team’s foggy running back situation. What exactly do I mean by this? Well, not every roster is fortunate of having an Adrian Peterson. In fact, many don’t even have clear-cut starting running backs, which creates headaches for fantasy owners. [...]
For the last three months or so, Robbie Rogers had a busy and somewhat chaotic life. He came out via his personal blog, retired from soccer, and had not returned to the sport he loves. Tonight was the night many sports fans and gay rights activists had been waiting for. The first openly gay male [...]
While everyone focuses on the quarterback competition for the New York Jets, a bigger concern could be wondering who that quarterback is going to throw the ball to. The Jets did nothing in the draft to improve a lackluster group of receivers. Currently the top three receivers are Santonio Holmes — coming off an ankle injury — Stephen [...]
When the New York Jets drafted Sheldon Richardson with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the pick was puzzling. Richardson was listed as a defensive tackle, but at under 300 pounds, would most likely not be an effective nose tackle in a 3-4 defense like the the one the Jets run. If Richardson couldn’t play inside, it [...]
In with Geno Smith. Out with Tim Tebow. Still here with questions surrounding Mark Sanchez’s job security. Welcome to another installment of “Who’s Our Quarterback” presented commercial free by the New York Jets. Even though last year’s production was a critical and commercial flop, the Jets have decided to run out a sequel anyway — and only a year later. [...]
Most New York Jets fans are trying to forget about the team’s offense, and apparently so is the front office. The Jets went defense with both of their first round picks in the NFL Draft taking cornerback Dee Milliner at No. 9 and defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson at No. 13. In a vacuum both are solid players, but in the [...]
Tavon Austin is considered by many draft prognosticators to be a mid-first round pick. The New York Jets have picks No. 9 and No. 13 in the first round and a need at wide receiver — among many other positions. The logic of numbers seem to match, but do the team and the player? At West Virginia, Austin [...]
Since the New York Jets went on a salary cutting spree earlier in the offseason, as they have needed to bring in linebackers to replace Bart Scott and Calvin Pace. The Jets brought in Antwan Barnes on a three-year deal as one of the replacements. Needing another linebacker, the Jets figured the best way to replace Calvin Pace is with…Calvin Pace, himself. Obviously the [...]
Restricted free agent Chris Ivory, currently of the New Orleans Saints, visited with the New York Jets over the weekend. Earlier in the offseason, New Orleans offered Ivory a second-round tender contract worth around $2 million for one year. If the Jets are going to acquire Ivory, it will not be for a second-round price. The plan for a deal [...]
Some reports during the week threw a possible curveball into the trade negotiations between the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers for cornerback Darrelle Revis. That curveball was the rumored inclusion of Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. We all heard this news and were somehow surprised. The Jets are trying to trade Mark Sanchez? Of course the Jets are trying to trade [...]
The New York Jets waited and waited and waited, then waited some more, but finally came away with a free agent bargain. The Jets came to terms with safety Dawan Landry on Tuesday. The terms of the deal have come out and Landry was scooped up for two-years and $3 million total. Compared to what other starting-caliber [...]
The New York Jets might not have been too busy in the beginning of free agency, but that doesn’t mean they won’t see their share of player movement in the coming weeks. Trades certainly aren’t as prevalent in the NFL as much as they are in the other major sports — save for the recent movement of veteran quarterbacks, [...]
