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.

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.

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.

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.

Will the Seattle Seahawks’ running game be any better next season. Marshwan Lynch, Justin Forsett and Leon Washington, are all expected to return to the lineup next season.

There once was a time when the name Carson Palmer meant something. Conversations about the best QBs in football almost always included “that guy” that plays for Cincinnati, right!

Do we need Hass’ back? With the closing of the draft, Seahawks fans were left scratching their head, or at least I was! Was it really the best idea to skip over some fresh QB meat (em..Ryan Mallett)?
