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 [...]
Right now, there are three quarterbacks who could potentially start for the Buffalo Bills in week one with Kevin Kolb, E.J. Manuel, and Tarvaris Jackson. It’ll be a good few months before we know which one of them will win the job, as they battle it out through mini camp, training camp, and the preseason, [...]
The 2012 Buffalo Bills season will be known for — among other things — being the year C.J. Spiller officially supplanted Fred Jackson as the Bills’ starting running back. Spiller was finally able to channel the electrifying speed he displayed during his college years at the professional level, and he established himself as one of the best young running backs in [...]
The Cincinnati Bengals have been quietly good for each of the last two seasons, making the playoffs each year before falling to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round. But while the Bengals have played well, they’ve struggled to get respect from the media, with few viewing them as a serious contender. This year, however, that might really [...]
In these past few years, the NFC South has finally seen some stability. When realignment first created the division in 2002, a different team was winning it just about every year. Bottom-feeders could rise to the top in just one season (see the New Orleans Saints in 2006, or the Atlanta Falcons in 2008). It [...]
Last week, the Buffalo Bills made one of the biggest splashes of the NFL draft when they selected Florida State QB E.J. Manuel with the 16th overall pick. While some scouts liked Manuel, almost no one expected him to go in the first round, or to be the first quarterback selected, as Geno Smith, Ryan [...]
