Last season, one of the biggest surprises turned out to be Matt Flynn losing the starting job with the Seattle Seahawks to Russell Wilson–who played a key role in helping the team reach the playoffs last year. Now, Flynn is looking forward to a fresh start with the Oakland Raiders and while the competition may [...]
The storied divisional rivalry between the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings had to end the way it did on Wednesday night. It wasn’t pretty at all, with penalties, shoving and controversy in abundance, but in the end, the two teams, who will now be in opposite conferences, shook hands in the middle of the [...]
After a shaky start to the regular season, the Philadelphia Phillies are slowly working their way back to having a .500 record after another impressive win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. For a team that has been dealing with too many injuries, the Phillies have had to overcome more than they would have [...]
This season the New York Knicks were able to win a playoff series and advance to the second round of the NBA postseason for the first time in over a decade before fizzing out against the Indiana Pacers. One of the reasons for the Knicks demise was their lack of a complementary scorer to Carmelo [...]
Although the Clemson Tigers are by no means considered a huge underdog in their August 31, season-opening contest against the Georgia Bulldogs, not many actually expect them to win the game. Hang with the ‘Dawgs? Yes. Beat them? No. However, this week the Tigers were bestowed upon them a gift, via the off-season misfortunes of [...]
Christian Watford may not be the most raved about player entering the 2013 NBA Draft, but he was great for the Indiana Hoosiers, even in his senior season when Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo seemed like the only two talked about players on this team. Who knows if Watford will make it in the NBA, [...]
Over the last couple of years, photo bombing has become quite the popular trend with professional sports and whether you’re a fan of the acts or not–you can’t deny the fact that it’s hysterical to see athletes pull them off. One of the latest victims–Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers. As you can see in [...]
Ripping Washington D.C. of its famous “Redskins” nickname is like taking the Cowboys out of Dallas and then renaming them the Dallas Sheriffs. Sure, the change might satisfy the radical groups who love to rain on parades, but dropping Redskins should not be in the plans of perhaps the most popular NFL team. Unfortunately, the radical groups [...]
A torrid start to the season for Baltimore Orioles 1B Chris Davis has continued all the way through May, and there is no end in sight for his fantasy baseball owners. Davis crushed his league-leading 18th and 19th home runs during a 4-for-4 night in Wednesday’s 9-6 win over the Washington Nationals Wednesday night. After [...]
I seriously hope that England has far more options to pick from later this year when the crucial World Cup qualifiers arrive, because from tonight’s performance, there was little to be hopeful about. Joe Hart — 6/10 Hart had a fairly uneventful outing. He was beaten by a great Shane Long header, which he can’t [...]
Well, Jimmie Johnson was correct, except he was a week late. Johnson put on Twitter the week of January 7th that the Chicago Bears hired Marc Trestman. The Bears came out and denied it but on January 16 it was announced that Trestman is the new head coach of the Bears. I love this hiring. This [...]
In Week 15, Dr. James Andrews stated that he never cleared Robert Griffin III to re-enter the game after he injured his knee against the Baltimore Ravens. The Washington Redskins and Mike Shanahan let Griffin go back into the game. Griffin is now hurt again. The injury happened after Griffin got his cleat stuck in [...]
The Chicago Bears are looking north of the border for their potential head coach. The Bears are bringing in Montreal Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman. I think this is a good thing. First, let’s dive into the history of Trestman. Trestman has considerable NFL experience. He has coached Steve Young, Rich Gannon and Bernie Kosar. [...]
January 6th 2012 might mark the end of an era for the Baltimore Ravens and the NFL. Ray Lewis announced that he will retire at the end of the year. Lewis has been injured for the majority of the 2012 season. That injury might force him to sit in the playoff game against the Indianapolis [...]
So, Devin Hester is really upset that the Chicago Bears fired Lovie Smith. He said this to Chicago media, “I thought he was a great coach.” Then Hester said the following: “Media, the false fans, you all got what you all wanted. Majority of you all wanted him out. As players we wanted him. I guess [...]
After nine years, the Lovie Smith era is over. As of 9:45 am, the Chicago Bears fired Smith. There are two immediate questions for the Bears. One, is who do the Bears look at for hiring someone? The second, is as an organization, where do they go from Smith? Smith knew defense and there is [...]
What a fitting end for Andy Reid and Michael Vick. They can both go out together since Nick Foles broke his hand. With that, Vick might get his last start for the Philadelphia Eagles in the last game of the miserable 2012 season for the Eagles and their fans. Since Reid signed Vick in 2009 [...]
Fans pay tickets and have a right to boo. Apparently, for a couple Chicago Bears players “true” fans aren’t supposed to boo. What Brian Urlacher said about Bears fans went a little bit too far. I turned on the local FOX station and Urlacher was on. What he said next amazed me. “Our crowd was [...]
Apparently Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said the following about Matt Stafford “I don’t know where Peyton was after four years, but I think Matt’s definitely on track to be one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the position. We’ll see when it’s all said and done, but he’s really taken a lot [...]
Is it time to for Lovie Smith to be fired? The game against the Minnesota Vikings was a game that the Chicago Bears should have and had to win. With the Bears losing, it opens the door to a lot of teams to get into the playoffs. Smith is partly to blame for the loss [...]
