Ponder This…
After watching the Cleveland vs. the Hornets last night and reading several stories about LeBron’s slump this year, I had a thought on the subject that I think should be addressed. Does anybody remember when Michael Redd was ready to become a free agent and every team in the league that had the cap [...]
After the NBA’s trade deadline had expired last week, I had jokingly wrote about huge names relocating in blockbuster deals; this joke cannot be made for the NHL’s deadline because it actually did happen. Here’s a few that caught my eye:
Edmonton’s Ryan Smyth to the New York Islanders for Ryan O’Marra, Robert Nilsson and a [...]
***NOTE: With the NHL Trade Deadline today, expect another post***
Last night I saw two announcements come across the wire and scratched my head as to the logic behind them both. Darcy Tucker had tentatively signed a new deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Fredrik Modin had signed an extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets. [...]
Often we look at teams in the upper-echelon of the leagues and try to decide who will win in the play-offs; take home the championship. One of these ways that I use is the common opponent theory. What you do is take the results from recent games that both teams have played against a common [...]
With the number one and two ranked teams in the nation squaring off on Sunday in Columbus, one couldn’t help but get excited about the upcoming NCAA tournament this March. Phenom Greg Oden and his Ohio State Buckeyes slugged it out down to the wire against number-two Wisconsin and came out with a 49-48 win. [...]
In a move that doesn’t really make a ton of sense, the Atlanta Thrashers traded for one of the premier players available in NHL with the deadline coming up. The thing that doesn’t make sense is that Atlanta is already very talented on the wings and could’ve used a centre more than a winger like [...]
After watching some footage of the Milwaukee Bucks past two games, I have come to a decision about the next portion of the season known as “the playoff race.” I’ve decided that, with Michael Redd back from his injury, the Bucks have the potential to play spoiler against some of the bigger teams in the [...]
DEAD-line was right, with only three trades involving four players; it was one of the most disappointing trade deadlines ever, especially after the talks of big names like Kidd, Gasol, Carter and Bibby moving. So, with the deadline fizzle and is now behind us, the newest major story has taken centre-stage; Dwayne Wade, last year’s [...]
I’ll be one of the first people to stand up against fighting in the NHL but last night got my adrenaline going. There is hardly anything in any sport that is more exciting than a goalie fight. The rarity of these scraps contributes to how amazing it is to see the two keepers skate down [...]
Now there’s the trade deadline excitement I was looking forward too. Tons of big names flew coast-to-coast and landed in places most insiders would never have thought. Kobe Bryant ended up in a Lakers uniform, Kevin Garnett will be playing for the Timberwolves, even LeBron James will be putting on a different jersey next game. [...]
