NFL Week 4 picks.
Well, to say I could’ve done better with my picks last week would be an understatement. I’m a little disappointed in myself but when you consider that those three ties could potentially have gone my way, I could be at 7-8 which is considerably better than 4-8-3. Well, I’m crossing my fingers [...]

On ESPN.com’s latest layout of their front page, they a Fan Favourites box in the lower right corner with a Featured Comment displayed prominently. This comment is usually about the top story of the day or last 12 hours and is typically insightful, opinionative or funny. Late last night, I stumbled upon this beauty: “I [...]

Just when you think that the sport that goes out of it’s way to sabotage itself is starting to turn the corner and get on the right track, something happens to send it back into the negatives.
Firstly, I like the new slimmer designs for the league’s jerseys. Eliminating the clutching and grabbing will go a [...]

Barry Bonds played his last game in the city that welcomed him for 15 years last night when the Giants took on the Padres in their home season finale. The Giants have already announced that they have no intention of bringing back their star slugger for another year, even though he wants to play.

Alright, so just when you thought that the Michael Vick stuff would start dying down and we wouldn’t have to hear anything until his sentencing next week, something else comes up. Vick and the three associates he was indicted with on the federal charges are now being charged with state charges.
That is the most ridiculous [...]

Even more importantly, is Reggie Bush, the man who was supposed to be the savoir of New Orleans and the next great running-back, a bust? He’s not showing what he’s supposed to be able to do so far. Is it out of the realm of possibility that a player that everyone fell in love with [...]

I swear that wasn’t a sports broadcaster that didn’t use the whole “Philly might wear those ugly old uniforms more often now” after yesterday’s outburst against a seriously weak Lions defense.

Quickly, before I get to the football picks for week three, Floyd Landis has been suspended from cycling for two years and has been stripped of his Tour de France title. Really? we didn’t go over this already? I thought this was old news. Moving on to Dan’s completely unreliable picks…

Honestly, I’ve been busy preparing an NBA training camp preview for the paper I work for so today’s post is just a few quick hits. But never you worry, tomorrow should be the NFL picks for week three.

In a move that I had already done in Madden to bolster my defensive line, the Cowboys signed suspended DT Tank Johnson. While Johnson is being forced to sit the first eight weeks of the season, he will be a welcome fill in for Dallas starter Jason Ferguson who is out for the season with [...]
