It appears that 2011′s luster has lingered into 2013 for the Detroit Lions, as Vegas has rated them with a kind 7.5 regular-season win total.

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.

Although the Memphis Grizzlies were surprisingly swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, the series wasn’t a total loss.

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.

At first, when the NBA decided to make the act of flopping illegal, the reaction was that it would eliminate players from manipulating the officials. However, players across the league continue to flail at times when their is hardly a foul. Perhaps the most annoying part of a game, referees are forced to make a [...]
The most exciting aspect of fantasy baseball is obviously home runs. There is nothing better than hearing the crack of the bat and seeing a ball go sailing over the fence. However, seeing a speedy player dash the 90 feet from first to second in an attempt to steal the base has to be the [...]
After leading Dutch Eredivisie team AZ Alkmaar in scoring and to their first Dutch Cup Championship since 1982, transfer rumors have surrounded U.S. Men’s National Team forward Jozy Altidore.

Early this week I told you how the Chicago Bears have flexibility in this year’s NFL Draft, and that flexibility includes the possibility of the Bears trading down. I truly feel that this would be the best possible thing for the Bears to do in order to better the roster. Normally I hate the thought [...]
The 2014 NFL off season for the Chicago Bears could be rather interesting. The Bears have not one, but two big names that could potentially hit the free agent market. Both quarterback Jay Cutler and two time Pro Bowler Charles “Peanut” Tillman are set to hit the free agent market next winter. If a long term [...]
The 2013 NFL Draft is quickly approaching. Many teams will be looking to fill a gaping need that they have not been able to fill via free agency to this point. This will not be true for the Chicago Bears as they will have the flexibility to do whatever they want. With the additions that the [...]
There is a chance that your Thursday Night opener in the NFL could be the Chicago Bears versus the Baltimore Ravens at Soldier Field.

The Chicago Bears may be forced to draft a linebacker when it is their turn to pick at spot number twenty in the 2013 NFL Draft. With the departures of both Nick Roach and longtime Bear Legend Brian Urlacher, the Bears are very thin at the linebacker position. Traditionally, the Bears have almost always been [...]
The NFL finally made a rule that makes things a little fairer for defenses, rather than always protecting offensive players. The NFL rules committee passed a rule that offensive players can no longer lead with the head, or striking a would be tackler with the crown of the helmet in the open field. It is about time [...]
The Chicago Bears need to quit playing games and decide what direction they want to take when it comes to the middle linebacker position. Since the year 2000 the Bears have had one of the best middle linebackers in the NFL roaming the field in Brian Urlacher. Between injuries and age, Urlacher is nowhere near the [...]
While the Chicago Bears have addressed many needs this offseason, linebacker has become a position that appears to be the Bears’ weak link. As of this writing, the only true linebacker that is not better suited for special teams is Lance Briggs. And for a team as rich in tradition at the linebacker as the Chicago [...]
Chicago Bears fans are seeing something they have not seen in a long time; a true commitment to winning. Phil Emery is the change in the Bears front office that the franchise had needed for a very long time. Since the Bears won Super Bowl XX way back in 1985, there has been a seeming [...]
