Once known as the “Windy City Flyer,” Devin Hester has taken a few steps back from meriting that moniker. Not only is Hester not a wide receiver any more — which is a great decision from the new Marc Trestman-led regime — but he also is only “competing” for the return man job. Meaning if [...]
Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings tweeted this about having to miss the finals this year: “Just tried to watch game 3, had to turn it off, Wish I was wearing a white jersey, best of luck to both team #PossesiveOfTheCup #ReneCanSing” — Jonathan Quick (@JonathanQuick32) June 18, 2013 He is a competitor and [...]
In MLB, there’s outstanding starting pitching and then there’s a level above where the starting pitching absolutely carries a team. Through the first 70 games of the 2013 season, the St. Louis Cardinals have, without question, been on that second level when it comes to their rotation. The Cardinals have enjoyed the re-emergence of Adam [...]
A major question the Indiana Pacers will have to answer during the offseason is if they’re set at the guard spot with Lance Stephenson. It’s possible the Pacers will look to make a deal to strengthen that spot, unless Stephenson gives indication he’s ready to turn his game up a few notches. Stephenson did improve [...]
Last offseason, while college football realignment rumors were spreading like wildfire all over the place to keep our football-crazed minds occupied, you could hear small whispers from folks about how it would be beneficial for the Florida State Seminoles to try to align themselves with the ever-powerful SEC. And yes, in the end that’s all [...]
The Ole Miss Rebels won the SEC tournament this past season, but it would take a miracle for them to do the same thing in the 2013-14 college basketball season. There will be many teams predicted to finish ahead of Ole Miss in the conference entering the season, to say the least. Kentucky and Florida [...]
Earlier on Monday, the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders were making headlines for releasing an amazing music video to them singing Taylor Swift‘s hit song “22.” Now, it appears the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders have taken the same approach by creating a version of their own while doing a photo shoot for the team’s upcoming calendar. That’s [...]
Tim Tebow Was Almost Drafted By the Los Angeles Angels It’s hard to imagine Tim Tebow doing anything but waddling out onto a football field and throwing the football with that weird, left-handed motion of his (and making headlines for all kinds of stuff he’s never done and likely never will), but Tebow Mania was almost [...]
Newly acquired Atlanta Falcons’ running back Steven Jackson is quite an intriguing player for the fantasy football 2013 season. Jackson, in recent years, hasn’t been viewed as a big-time running back in fantasy leagues. The 29-year-old running back is entering his 10th season in the NFL and while not posting record shattering numbers, Jackson has [...]
Mexico and Italy opened up their Confederation’s Cup campaign in a decently entertaining match which saw the Italians come out on top. The match brought us chances, passes, tackles, goals and of course mistakes. In the end, the side with the more mistakes gave up all three points for their first loss of 2013 – [...]
Raider Nation seems to be excited for the first time in a while about the upcoming season for the Oakland Raiders. Owner Mark Davis appears to be perfectly confident in the state of his franchise right now, as the Raiders go into their season with Davis as the owner. “I’ll be in the building more [...]
The New England Patriots grabbed America’s attention today by signing free agent Tim Tebow. The move has raised so many questions about Tebow’s role with the Patriots, but few have questioned: what will be the fate of back-up quarterback Ryan Mallet? There is a very strong chance that Mallet will be traded before the start [...]
The Oakland Raiders have kept themselves busy off the field this week by signing six of their 10 draft picks. The Raiders have managed to sign: Colorado tight end Nick Kasa, Central Florida running back Latavious Murray, Tennessee tight end Mychel Rivera, Oklahoma defensive tackle Stacy McGee, San Diego State wide receiver Brice Butler and Missouri Western defensive end David Bass. Those are [...]
For the bad NFL teams this upcoming season, it is a bad year to be good, especially for the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders had the third overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, which was one of the weakest prospect classes in recent memory, and it showed as the Raiders traded back to the 12th [...]
The Oakland Raiders are in need of a big-time drive stopper on defense, and that man could potentially be Kevin Burnett. Burnett is in no way a super-star linebacker, or even a superior pass-rusher, but he is a solid inside linebacker that the Raiders can count on. Burnett has played in every game he was [...]
Oakland Raiders’ fans held their breath today when news let out that first-round pick D.J. Hayden was hospitalized. The Raiders’ rookie corner is now out of the hospital, and is now resting. The team has already reported that Hayden will not participate in any on-field practices until training camp in July. When news let out [...]
Rumors are already floating around about who will lead the 2013 Oakland Raiders, and the answer may not be what Raider Nation is looking for. The quarterback competition will be tight for the Raiders and the depth chart is expected to be as follows: Matt Flynn, Tyler Wilson, and Terrelle Pryor. Flynn was traded from [...]
The NFL Draft is a year away, now that Roger Goodell announced the draft would be pushed back to May for 2014. Coming off a weak draft-prospect class, 2014 already appears like a more optimistic and higher-ranked class. Leading the pack for the quarterback class next year are Teddy Bridgewater from Louisville and Tajh Boyd out of Clemson. The question: Who will go [...]
“Thank God,” Tennessee Titans‘ running back Chris Johnson tweeted on draft day when Alabama guard Chance Warmack was selected ninth overall. Johnson should be the happiest running back in the NFL after his rushing attack was awarded with arguably the best run-blocking offensive lineman in the NFL Draft. He was very vocal in 2012 about [...]
It’s official. Charles Woodson will meet with the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday. Woodson played eight seasons with the Raiders, until he went yellow and green to continue his successful career with the Green Bay Packers. Woodson is rumored to be contemplating between the Raiders and the Denver Broncos. Woodson would really turn things around for the Raiders for the better, meaning [...]
