While this may seem like a bit of a stretch on the surface, the parallels between St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford and New York Giants QB Eli Manning are actually quite startling. Now granted, Bradford didn’t enter the NFL with as much fanfare as Manning who had a father (Archie Manning) who was mildly [...]
Every now and then, an annoying little housefly comes in and starts buzzing around all over the place. Flies don’t learn, it seems. No matter how many times you swat them away, they come back. That must be how the New York Rangers felt about the fourth line of the Boston Bruins after tonight. The trio of Shawn Thornton, Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille were [...]

Even though he’s no longer a member of the Detroit Lions, wide receiver Titus Young has been quite the popular topic over the last couple of weeks as he’s struggled to stay out of trouble with the law. It’s one thing for a professional athlete to have a run in with the law, but the [...]
From an offensive perspective, the Carolina Panthers are one of the most exciting teams to watch in all of football. Largely due to the young superstar under center. We know how good he is, and we will get into that in detail. So, let’s take a look at the fantasy good and bad of the [...]
The USA will play host to yet another CONCACAF Gold Cup later on this summer from July 7 to the 28 with nothing but winning on their mind. Losses to Mexico in the finals of both 2009 and 2011 are enough fuel to propel them to play a good tournament. This time around, they will call [...]
