Game 1’s in the NBA’s playoff match ups proved didn’t prove to be incredibly favourable for the home teams this weekend with five of the eight underdogs taking home a win. Only the Pistons, Cavaliers and Suns managed to walk away with wins against their lower seeded opponents. The Mavericks, number one in the West, [...]
I am sitting here still shaking with glee because today kicks off the NBA playoffs. Next to Halloween this is my favorite time of the year. What makes it even more exciting is that my Raptors are in the playoffs for the first time in what seems like an eternity. The two major storylines – [...]
With another league’s playoffs starting today, you, the lucky readers, get to read another glorious playoff preview.
The East
Chicago vs. Miami: This series should be the one to watch in the East. The Bulls have a strong team with a good all-around line up but the Heat are the defending champs and have the dominating Shaq [...]
The Senators went a head and did what nobody outside of Ottawa wanted them to do; they eliminated Sidney Crosby and the Penguins from the NHL Playoffs. With their 3-0 win last night, one the game’s youngest and most marketable stars will no long get to shine and bring in the TV ratings that the [...]
The teams that didn’t make the NBA playoffs will exhale a loud sigh today when Greg Oden declares for the draft.

If any [...]
While this pundit thought it would take longer (6 games) for New York to dispose of the Thrashers, the Rangers seemed intent on proving me wrong. In their first sweep since 1994, when they won the Stanley Cup, the Rangers dispatched an Atlanta team that tried to bulk up at the deadline but apparently failed. [...]
My favourite White Sox lefty Mark Buerhle walked onto the mound last night against the Texas Rangers and made quick work of them; so quick that he forgot to allow a hit. He almost forgot to allow a baserunner but Sammy Sosa fixed that by drawing a walk. This no-no is the first for the [...]
The Madden curse has found its next target and the bull’s eye is squarely on the Titans franchise QB Vince Young. It seems so wrong for EA Sports to intentionally try to harm such a promising young player but business is business. Young says the curse is just happenstance, but the many who have fallen [...]
With at least 33 dead and 20 others injured after a brutal shooting spree at Virginia Tech, it is the deadliest shooting incident in North American history and there is no way that anyone can make a joke out of it. While the event is despicable, this is front page news and needs to be [...]
