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.

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 [...]
According to New York Jets General Manager John Idzik and head coach Rex Ryan, the team’s all-world cornerback, Darrelle Revis, is not on the trading block. Or is he? While Idzik threw the customary vote of confidence behind his star defensive player saying he would like for Revis to remain a Jet, he [...]
It is no longer the 1970’s and inflation has taken its toll on the fabled six million dollar man. We are now in the 21st century and the 29 million dollar man is making top billing. Yes, we do have the technology, but rebuilding him and making him better is certainly out of the question. [...]
Baltimore Ravens fans can only hope their quarterback Joe Flacco displays a tad more maturity on the field on Super Sunday than he did when asked about next year’s Super Bowl being played in MetLife Stadium in northern New Jersey. Sounding like a big kid playing a little kid’s game, Flacco stated having [...]
With an average margin of victory of a whopping 14.3 points per game in its previous 46 installments, the Super Bowl has rarely been much of a nail-biter. Many of the games have been over even before the high priced musical talent displays their outstanding lip synching skills during the halftime show. The [...]
If NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was a career politician, as his father was, he would be at imminent risk of being canned by his constituents. With even Mitt Romney smoking Goodell in popularity numbers, there have been better years for the 53-year-old league commish, who is currently in his seventh year at the helm. During [...]
New York Jets all-world cornerback Darrelle Revis was reportedly surprised to find out the team has placed him on the trading block. Although Revis’ initial reaction may be shock, it is difficult to believe he is losing much sleep over the decision to move him. Several years down the road, the best football [...]
Retired wide receiver Tim Brown created quite a firestorm when he alleged former Oakland Raiders head coach Bill Callahan sabotaged Super Bowl XXXVII, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pummeled the Raiders 48-21. Although on the surface, Brown’s comments may be categorized as preposterous, Callahan’s offensive game plan for the big game is where the real [...]
The two week hiatus between the two NFL Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl is the most painfully excruciating time of the year. During this time, football fans are subjected without mercy to cheesy personal stories, redundant interviews with cookie cutter responses, tedious game over-analysis and the worst touch football game of all-time: the Pro [...]
Do you get the impression the New York Jets acquired under-utilized QB Tim Tebow just to continuously keep their name in the papers? The latest Tebow saga has the former Heisman winner being “forced” upon Jets owner Woody Johnson by ex-GM Mike Tannenbaum, who was axed one day after the end of the [...]
When New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick refused to be interviewed by CBS after the Pats 28-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, CBS Sports analyst Shannon Sharpe took out his dagger. Sharpe stated that Belichick was a “poor sport” and makes it “real easy” to root against the Patriots. [...]
