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.

After a shaky start to the regular season, the Philadelphia Phillies are slowly working their way back to having a .500 record after another impressive win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.

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. Who knows if Watford will make it in the NBA, [...]
Over the last couple of years, photo bombing has become quite the popular trend with professional sports and whether you’re a fan of the acts or not–you can’t deny the fact that it’s hysterical to see athletes pull them off.

Ripping Washington D.C. of its famous “Redskins” nickname is like taking the Cowboys out of Dallas and then renaming them the Dallas Sheriffs.

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. Joe Hart — 6/10 Hart had a fairly uneventful outing. He was beaten by a great Shane Long header, which he can’t [...]
Before Danny Amendola arrived on the scene, Julian Edelman was the New England Patriots “next Wes Welker“. At the start of the season, Josh McDaniels had Edelman in on sets that usually required Welker’s place in the slot. Fast forward seven months later and a couple of weeks into free agency and Edelman is still [...]
Sounds like the New England Patriots made a decision they didn’t really “want” to make with Wes Welker. Robert Kraft, owner of the team, stated at the 2013 NFL annual meeting that the team wanted Wes to return to the team. “We usually don’t talk about contracts, but I’d like to clear up what I [...]
Remember when Julian Edelman was getting more attention on offense than Wes Welker early last season? Looks like Welker still hasn’t forgiven the New England Patriots, or Josh McDaniels, for that. According to reports from Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, Welker holds a “mild disdain” over the organization for him being phased out of the [...]
For the first time since 2008, the New England Patriots declined to assign their franchise tag to a pending free agent. In what looks to be a solid free agent crop for this squad, they’ll attempt to re-sign their three big fish: Wes Welker, Sebastian Vollmer and Aqib Talib. And with Tom Brady stretching his earnings [...]

Looks like the New England Patriots are attempting to make sure a familiar face stays in the secondary. According to the Boston Herald, the Patriots will be meeting with cornerback Kyle Arrington‘s representation at the NFL Combine to discuss a deal. While Arrington isn’t a great defensive back, there comes a sense of urgency with [...]
Well, this isn’t a shock. Ron Borgs of the Boston Herald says a source told him that the New England Patriots won’t use the franchise tag to retain receiver Wes Welker for another season. With the tag price at $11 million, the Patriots aren’t going to want to pay a 31 year old receiver that [...]
With Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd‘s future as New England Patriots up in the wind, this front office may want to take a look at the situation occurring in Minnesota pertaining to Percy Harvin.
