The Buffalo Bills‘ have some key parts in place, but the key to Coach Doug Marrone‘s first year in the pros will be the quarterback spot. Weapons like CJ Spiller only come around once in a while, and Buffalo has to take advantage of it. Part of this is just maximizing the amount of touches [...]
Ten years to the date since he announced his retirement, Patrick Roy was back in the same restaurant at the Pepsi Center in Denver to be introduced as the newest head coach of the Colorado Avalanche. Spirits were high, and Avalanche fans are no doubt hopeful that things are well on their way to turning [...]
It was the same situations, different day for the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. The only change, a rather significant one, was that this time the Rockies finished the game on top of the Houston Astros. Struggling recently with the ability to capitalize on opportunities from the plate, Colorado came through when it mattered most on [...]
Although the Memphis Grizzlies were surprisingly swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, the series wasn’t a total loss. Memphis discovered that reserve small forward Quincy Pondexter can potentially be a steady source of perimeter scoring, and for this reason he should be a larger part of their game plan for [...]
Well, did he or didn’t he? This has been the question that has been taking up most of the time in the college football world for the majority of the day.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Kansas Jayhawks will enter the 2013-14 college basketball season as the favorites in the Big 12 Conference.

-The Cleveland Browns remind me a lot of where the Detroit Lions were a couple years ago. Their record isn’t good (in the Browns’ case it’s winless), so their progress hasn’t shown up in the standings, but watching them play, it’s clear how much talent they have. The Brownies will be a playoff team in [...]
-The four teams that are on a bye this week; the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers; have bye weeks that couldn’t come at a better time. For the Cowboys, it’s a chance to re-discover the offensive chemistry, fluidity, and balance that led to their Week 1 win over the New [...]

Let Eli Manning call the plays. Also, there’s only so much criticizing I can do of the Giants, with their two Super Bowls [...]
-Thank god the real refs are back. Am I right? You know I’m right. -If there were ever a point this season for the Cleveland Browns to prove that a new era is officially underway, it would be Thursday night in Baltimore. I’m not saying they have to win, but if the Brownies don’t at [...]
I, for one, am sick of talking about the replacement officials. I will herby provide my overall thoughts on Week 3 in the National Football League, and I will try very hard not to mention the word “referee”. -The New York Giants’ offense was impressive in putting up 36 points Thursday night without Ahmad Bradshaw, [...]
For the New York Jets to defeat the AFC East rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the task starts and ends with containing star running back Reggie Bush. The Dolphins have had two performances so far in this young season that were almost polar opposites of one another; a 30-10 defeat at the hands of the [...]
The New York Jets were clearly hurt by the loss of Darrelle Revis Sunday at Heinz Field as they simply didn’t have the personnel to cover Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Heath Miller and former Jet Jerricho Cotchery, playing for the first time against his old team. The biggest thorn in the side of [...]
The New York Jets get ready to square off with the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday in Heinz Field in what will be a rematch of the AFC Championship Game from two seasons ago.
