A quick non-Clemens, MLB thought.

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Ryan Dempster is dumb. Going out and saying that your team will end their 100-year World Series drought is ballsy, but quite dumb. There are forces beyond his power at work behind the scenes at Wrigley Field that will keep the Cubs from winning. It’s called a curse. Besides that, the Cubs are by no [...]

How about that LeBron?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Last night, to my — and the rest of the guys working in the sports section — surprise, LeBron got the type of “help” that the Cavaliers thought they would be getting when the signed a guy named Larry Hughes to a huge deal. The 40 points he scored last night were a season high, [...]

A frightening moment

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

While I’m sure that not many people tuned into watch the Florida Panthers play against the Buffalo Sabres yesterday but there was a moment that would’ve created quite the stir to those who saw it.
Panthers captain Olli Jokinen went into the corner in an attempt to hit Sabres forward Clarke MacArthur but something went awry; [...]

Win some, lose some: The Toronto Bills

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Hey, remember that feature I did once before? Well it’s back! What’s there to debate this time? The Bills have put together an agreement — originally reported months ago, finalized Wednesday — to bring the Buffalo Bills to Toronto to play a total of eight games over the next five years.

Spygate II

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

So what happens if it turns out to be true that the Patriots cheated in a Super Bowl, specifically their first win against the Rams, you know the one that’s drawing comparisons to the one the lost on Sunday to the Giants. Taping a team’s final walkthrough, which the Patriots reportedly did, would be the [...]

More and more jinxes

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Just thought I’d add a few more things that lost the game for the Patriots, you know, besides their atrocious, uninspired performance on the field.
- Have you ever seen Bill Belichick wear a red hoodie before? Me neither. Why would he change up his style on the biggest night of his season?- Tom Brady spend [...]

Lakers rob Grizzlies

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Were Memphis held at gun point during the negotiations for Pau Gasol? It seems like they were after handing over the best player to ever play for Memphis to the Los Angeles Lakers. Getting rid of Kwame Brown might actually help the Lakers even more than the arrival of Gasol.
Gasol will form one of the [...]

Giants win!

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

There are so many different headlines that could’ve worked here. I could’ve gone with “18-1*” -note the asterisk is still present because of Spygate (which is heating up to white hot levels). I could’ve used “Cheaters never prevail,” because quite frankly, they don’t. Or even an open-handed “Eat it Tom Brady,” which I think he [...]

The Intern’s Hard Wood: All-star teams ‘08

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Amongst all the Super Bowl hoopla this week, the NBA all-star reserves were announced. While going through the list, the obvious first thing I noticed was that one of my favourites, Jose Calderon got the royal shaft and was not named to the team. This got me thinking who else is on the All-Snub team. [...]
