According to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Cincinnati Bengals have claimed former Arizona Cardinals quarterback John Skelton off the waivers. Immediately, Twitter has come alive with the same questions that are currently going through my head, which are: “Why would they waste their money like that?” “Why would they pick up old garbage?” [...]
The 2013 trade deadline day started off less than exciting, but actually the Boston Bruins really kicked things off when they made a swap that will most likely be more beneficial at the AHL level, swapping Maxime Sauve with Rob Flick of the Chicago Blackhawks organization. Flick has yet to play a single NHL game, [...]
Just who is Ervin Santana on the mound, really? After making his first start for the Kansas City Royals, the team is still asking themselves that very question. It’s not that they didn’t get a good look at the new No. 2 pitcher of their revamped starting rotation, though — in fact, they got a [...]
Al Horford has been playing out of position for years with the Atlanta Hawks, but with Josh Smith‘s impending departure via free agency, the Hawks should seriously consider moving Horford to power forward full time. Such a move would not only improve Horford’s production, but could also extend his career for the long term. Despite [...]

William Shakespeare said it best when he posed the question, “What’s in a name?” during his famous tale of Romeo and Juliet. Apparently, for the Minnesota Gophers, a name can go a long way. At least, that is the perception being circulated after the Gophers announced they have hired Richard Pitino as the next head [...]
Here’s your feel-good story of the day in the NFL–Brian Banks has signed with the Atlanta Falcons. If you’re wondering why this name should sound familiar–take a look back to last offseason and it should ring a bell. This is the former football star that served five-years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit [...]
Perhaps a change of scenery is all Marian Gaborik needs to get it together again. The New York Rangers, who rank dead last in hockey in goals per game (2.26), have shipped one of the premiere goal scorers in the game to the playoff aspiring (no, seriously), Columbus Blue Jackets. Gaborik will be heading to Columbus, in the [...]
Joey Barton‘s eventful Twitter antics have resulted in the inevitable outcome, as Paris Saint-Germain threatened to take action following his comments regarding their captain Thiago Silva.

Continuing my Best 11 from the first half of the Premier League this year, here are the midfielders, strikers and substitutes. Let the argument re-commence! Left Wing: Gareth Bale (Spurs) Bale has earned himself a reputation as a diver. Though he’s been unfairly booked more times than correctly this season, he’ll still have to [...]

Blackburn Rovers have sacked their manager Henning Berg after a grand total of 10 games in charge. Admittedly, he only won one of those 10 games, but if they move quickly, they’ll have three managers in the last five months. That means one thing – Blackburn are a toxic club. Badly run and lacking a [...]

Despite losing Luca Modric, Rafael Van Der Vaart and Ledley King, Spurs have had a reasonable season so far under Andre Villas Boas.

Mario Balotelli is in a bit of a pickle. Following being suspended for 11 league and European games games last season, his club Man City took the not-unreasonable step of fining him 2 weeks’ worth of wages. For super Mario, this was an affront – how dare they? He appealed within the club, and he lost. [...]
