Having recently attended a major league baseball game, a thought came to mind: Is baseball the only sport where it might be beneficial to stay at home rather than go out to the ballpark? Out of the big North American leagues , it probably i,s which is a sad statement for a great sport.
Let’s break [...]
How a league changes a rule any time during a season, let alone in the PLAYOFFS, like they are thinking about doing now is a reason for outrage. Especially when this new rule contradicts what the league has been trying to accomplish (increase scoring). And worst of all it can be argued that this rule [...]
With the two teams duking it out in the series rubber-match last night at Fenway, there was a more interesting story developing in New York, rather underneath the new Yankee Stadium. It turns out that a construction worker — and member of Red Sox Nation — tried to curse the new field by planting a [...]
After the Nuggets victory over the Warriors on Thursday night, 2008’s playoff teams are pretty much set in the NBA. Golden State is now one game out of eighth place but since Denver holds the tie-breaker, Golden State would have to finish a win up on them. Each team has three games remaining each but [...]
It looks like the Toronto Blue Jays are on the road to eliminating their $2 Tuesdays offer and it’s a crying shame. The promotion that lets fans buy tickets for the upper deck as well as the 200-level outfield seats for only two bucks is in danger of going the way of the dodo because [...]
I don’t know how you a) win 38 games in a season and b) get to the national championship game and c) have a two point lead with 10-point-something seconds left while shooting free throws and lose a game. Memphis deserved to lose the game. Any team that cannot hit game-clinching free throws should not [...]
While every sports fan waits in anticipation for the NBA playoffs to start, another sport is on the brink of starting their post-season. That’s right, the red-headed step child of the sporting world, the NHL, is about to start its extended run towards the Stanley Cup.
So who’re the favourites? Well you can start with last [...]
It may be a bit rash to call it funny, especially when you figure in the victim and potential severity of the situation, but there was a ton of irony in when, on a tour of Fenway Park, a student was attacked by a red hawk.
What’s so funny and/or ironic about that you may ask? [...]
Poor Chris Henry. After getting in trouble with the law several times over the past few years and even getting suspended by the NFL for the first half of last season, the Cincinnati Bengals have finally had enough of the mercurial receiver. Henry was released by the Bengals yesterday after being charging with punching an [...]
We may be headed for a second replay of the season if the NBA sees what everyone else who caught the end of the Raptors-Hawks tilt last night saw. Because of some wackiness perpetrated by the Atlanta timekeeper, the Raptors’ final attempt to win the game was waved off because time had apparently expired and [...]
