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.

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.

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 [...]
The early winner of the 2013 NFL Draft seems to be the San Francisco 49ers. Admittedly, it’s only March, but the 49ers seem to have made all the right moves in getting a deal for Alex Smith and having the potential to use their horde of 14 picks to vastly improve their standing and roster. [...]
The start of the NFL Scouting Combine has officially stoked the flames for the NFL’s Hot-Stove season. And the San Francisco 49ers are at center stage. The number one topic in this, the most important of all pro-sports’ off-seasons is: What will happen to Alex Smith? Rumors abound and everyone, from local beat-writers to national [...]
The dust has settled from Super Bowl XLVII and for the San Francisco 49ers, the “what if” game has begun. The most painful part of that particular game for the Scarlet and Gold is “what if we hadn’t spotted the Baltimore Ravens a 28 to 6 lead before the Superdome blackout that changed the momentum?” Coupled [...]
For years, Jim Harbaugh has led his teams in a victory chant that poses the question “Who’s got it better than us?” The quick answer to that question has been “Nobody!” But after Super Bowl XLVII, the answer seems to be “Your brother, John Harbaugh!” It’s the differences between the two men and their style [...]
Perhaps the most compelling match up to watch on Super Bowl Sunday won’t be between Joe Flacco and Colin Kaepernick or even the head coaching brothers, John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh. No, the match up to watch in Super Bowl XLVII may very well come down to two men with a shared football legacy who [...]
Be prepared. Soon, Kaeperniking may be more than an end zone dance craze. Especially if the San Francisco 49ers‘ Colin Kaepernick wins the duel of styles that’s about to take place in Super Bowl XLVII. With the skill set available to the 49ers phenom and the added advantage of being linked to a coaching staff [...]
