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 [...]
With the narratives accompanying the Baltimore Ravens 2012 playoff run, you’d think Ray Lewis is playing at the level he played at when the Ravens won Super Bowl 35 and he was named Super Bowl MVP. But is he? There’s no denying that the Ravens have been riding out something special with the sad truth that their leader, and [...]
After being 6-7 and looking like they could make a run at one of the final AFC playoff spots, the New York Jets have dropped their last two games – in miserable fashion – and seem destined for a shake up this off-season. But what will be shaken up? Will the flamboyant head of the [...]
Earlier this week, Fireman Ed retired from being not a, but rather THE superfan of the New York Jets. We have reached a new low. No, it’s not that big of a deal that 53-year old Edwin M. Anzalone no longer wants to be the unofficial mascot for a team that puts the shame in [...]
Although Week 3 has literally just come to an end, Monday marked the end of the 2012 season for the New York Jets. While of course that’s being drastic, the Jets have looked like a completely different team when all-world cornerback Darrelle Revis is playing and when he’s not and they just got news today [...]
A lot has been made the last week of Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, primarily focusing on his attitude and leadership skills, or lack thereof (in both cases). It’s almost inaccurate to say Cutler’s been under a microscope since his Bears were throttled by the Green Bay Packers last Thursday, simply because he’s been heavily [...]
