Patriots Fall!
Even after going up by 18 and having the potential to run away with the game, the Patriots couldn’t hold down Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. New England straight up blew it and the Colts beat them down, that’s all that can really be said for that.
Tom Brady didn’t display his usual clutchness [...]
New Orleans (+3) over CHICAGO
If you think about it this way, when you add up that Dallas should have beaten Seattle who barely lost Chicago, do you think Dallas would have any chance at beating New Orleans? Of course not because we remember what happened when New Orleans walked into Dallas and killed the legend [...]
It’s mid-January and the NFL playoffs are in full swing so this must mean one thing: The New England Patriots are on a roll towards the Super Bowl. It seems to happen almost every year now (3 Super Bowl wins over the past 5 seasons) and quite frankly, it’s getting a bit tiring. This year [...]
Webber brings it for Detroit
What he brought, I don’t know, but it ended in a loss to Utah. Number 84 wound up with an outstanding line of 2-5-3 on 1/5 shooting over 17 minutes. I guess the new Michigan Fab Five aren’t going to be nearly as good as the previous incarnation(s). In a related [...]
Every year around this marvelously frosty time, after most of, if not all, the marquee free agents have been signed for too much money, restricted free agents get their chance at the owner’s pockets. This year, this is very much to their advantage as they got to see one of the most ludicrous off-seasons in [...]
Wait, the NHL’s All Star Game is on a Wednesday? Better ratings than last two year’s contests!
While in the past the NHL’s All-Star game has usually been played on a Sunday afternoon or evening, that set up is basically a recipe for failure. If you were a sports fan and faced the option of watching [...]
Does this move make the Pistons better or worse?
If Webber plays the way he did in Philadelphia, Detroit will be worse; especially in the defensive end. Does he even have incentive to play for the next two seasons? With Philadelphia buying out his massive deal, he’ll be making $25M for NOT playing for the Sixers. [...]
What was lost in the hub-bub of the size of David Beckham’s contract and the fact that he’s coming to play in Los Angeles is that he and the L.A. Galaxy committed collusion. Since when has an athlete been able to sign a contract with a team while still being under contract with another team? [...]
Is there any way that the sporting world can do away with the ridiculous every-team-must-be-represented rule for all-star games? Some of the snubs from the game this year are completely egregious. The game, like I’ve said before is supposed to be a showcase for the fans; shouldn’t they be treated to watching the best players [...]
In a fairly unpredictable weekend of playoff football, I’m happy with the fact that I didn’t lose any money by entering a playoff pool or putting down (too many) bets. For some reason, I managed to forget the one constant of gambling on the NFL this season. Take the underdog and reap with rewards. All [...]
