When a player’s NFL career is finished, they usually are not responsible for that decision. Teams chose against even making phone calls and it ends instantly for an individual. Others try to hang on despite long odds hoping for another chance. The New York Jets may give such opportunity shortly. Reports state that New York [...]
The Carolina Hurricanes entered the offseason with one of their highest draft picks in a long time. The 2013 Draft has also been said to have some of the best prospects from a draft in years. Jim Rutherford has said that he would entertain offers for their fifth overall pick if it involved a top [...]
The Colorado Rockies made some changes to their MLB roster before they were defeated 4-2 by the San Diego Padres on Saturday. The Rockies reactivated LHP Jeff Francis from the 15 day DL and he was thrown back into the fire immediately as he took the bump for the Rockies. However, his return was a rough one, as the Padres got all [...]
Otto Porter continues to draw attention from NBA teams and draft observers as the big day of June 27 draws closer. He’s considered the best small forward in the draft and that’s a key position for young teams like the Charlotte Bobcats, who are just trying to break into the realm of respectability. The Bobcats [...]
Since head coach Bill O’ Brien has been on the Penn State University campus serving as the leader of its football program, many have sensed a change in the culture. Implementing a different style of offense and stitching players’ names on the back of the jerseys are just two examples of the improving status of [...]
The Creighton Bluejays will be joining the Big East Conference–or what’s left of it–in the 2013-14 college basketball season. Although there will still be some great teams in the conference, Doug McDermott could lead the Bluejays to a Big East title this season. Sure, Georgetown and Marquette should enter the season in the top 25, [...]
Sprinter English Gardner is coming off an exceptional junior year that included an indoor team championship for Oregon University and a second straight 100-meter dash outdoor title. After completing her events on Saturday, Gardner announced her decision to forgo her senior year and become a professional runner with Team USA. From her freshmen days at [...]
Sure, a few NFL teams located in the United States of America struggle to retain a stout fan base year after year. However, the idea that these less than appealing teams should bolt to London is asinine. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has made countless efforts to move the game into England, but the rate of [...]
Since returning for the first time in over year, Chicago White Sox SP John Danks has been inconsistent, but that wasn’t the case for Danks on Saturday and fantasy baseball owners should be aware of his improvement. He had his best start of the year against the Oakland Athletics, allowing only four baserunners and one [...]
After falling out of favor at Bayern Munich last season, Mario Gomez has emerged as a shock target for Tottenham, according to reports. Bayern’s preferred option is the more agile Mario Mandzukic, who has nailed his position in the first team. Gomez specializes in out-and-out goal scoring, a constant predator in and around the penalty [...]
With the recent news that the Dallas Cowboys named Bill Callahan the play caller for 2013 in what was a long, drawn out process, as well as Antrel Rolle’s comments about the Cowboys not having “all the pieces to the puzzle,” it still rings true that America’s Team is never too far from the spotlight. [...]
Another New York Giant has taken a shot at the Dallas Cowboys. Former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs was never one to hold his tongue in voicing his disdain for their hated division rivals, and defensive end Justin Tuck also was never shy to express his opinion. Their comments, though, were more part of [...]
It was announced Tuesday that Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Bill Callahan will assume play calling duties for the team in the 2013 season. Callahan takes over for head coach Jason Garrett, who called plays for the team from 2007 through the end of last season. Garrett has been much maligned for his inability [...]
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick said to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com this week that the position competition with rookie BW Webb “doesn’t affect him” and that the new Tampa 2 defensive scheme will give the Cowboys’ corners, including himself, a lot of chances to create big plays. While sounding good in theory, it doesn’t mean [...]
In professional sports, every draft has that cautionary tale of drafting busts over all-time greats, with the “what if?” question lingering years later – the result joyful for some franchises, and devastating for others. The Dallas Cowboys had one of their “what if?” moments in the 2005 NFL Draft. Owner Jerry Jones and coach Bill [...]
Last week, former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher announced his retirement after a Hall of Fame-caliber 13-year career. One of the greatest middle linebackers in NFL history, Urlacher was an eight-time Pro Bowler, the 2005 Defensive Player of the Year and has the most tackles in Bears history with 1,779. The fact that he leads the [...]
Earlier in the month, I wrote about how DeMarco Murray will be the key to how far the Dallas Cowboys go in 2013. If he could avoid injuries, he has the capability to be one of the NFL‘s best rushers and a Pro Bowl back that could spearhead the Cowboys back to the playoffs. So far on [...]
In his rookie season, Dallas Cowboys’ cornerback Morris Claiborne didn’t completely live up to the hype that was bestowed upon him prior to the 2012 NFL Draft. When the Cowboys traded up to the sixth spot from No. 13 to get Claiborne, it was as a great trade up by Jerry Jones, fulfilling a desperate need [...]
Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones said Thursday that head coach Jason Garrett’s job will not be on the line this upcoming season, despite back-to-back 8-8 seasons for the Cowboys. It is a classic example of the control Jones wants as owner. Don’t get me wrong, Jones is a great owner. He has made the Cowboys [...]
As an undrafted free agent pickup in 2006 by the Dallas Cowboys out of tiny Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ, wide receiver Miles Austin would emerge as one of the core young members of that 2006 Bill Parcells-coached team that would form the current core, along with Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Demarcus Ware and [...]
