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 [...]
After Friday’s OTAs, the Tennessee Titans‘ defense seems to be showing some fight. I wrote earlier about the team’s Smash Mouth identity as a whole, but feel more can be written about the forces behind the unit once again becoming a respected defense. While it is only June, the Titans are going about their business with [...]
I mentioned briefly in a press conference analysis article posted HERE on Rant Sports how the Tennessee Titans were moving toward a more run-first offense, getting away from ex-offensive coordinator, Chris Palmer’s pass-heavy game plan. At a fundraiser benefit on May 21, 2013, GM Ruston Webster offered more insight into what type of identity he [...]
For the first time in a long time, the Tennessee Titans have a WR group that will be talked about for all the right reasons. The group is led by Kenny Britt, perhaps the most talented of the group, but injury and maturity issues have hurt his once-promising career. Thankfully, this offseason has seen a [...]
As part of an ongoing series, I like to put my years of experience doing interviews and interrogations to good use by analyzing press conferences. In this edition, I am taking a look at Tennessee Titans Offensive Coordinator, Dowell Loggains, and his presser from May 7, 2013. Video link: http://www.titansonline.com/news/article-1/Dowell-Loggains-Devising-Distribution-Plan/c8c808a1-0062-404b-a2ff-629ea4aba4d5 The press conference starts off with a question about [...]
With all the talk about current young quarterbacks in the NFL such as Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Christian Ponder, Colin Kaepernick, and Andy Dalton, a name often left unmentioned is Jake Locker. While he has not yet had the same success as other young QBs, Locker will have a better season in 2013 than [...]
