Huge loss for Cincy

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Football

I was going to write a quick post about how Manu Ginobili needs surgery and how playing in the Olympics on an ailing ankle might not have been the greatest idea. I was going to comment on Monta Ellis ruining his ankle and in the process, the Warriors season before training camps even tipped off. [...]

Pacman’s back!

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

In the good way too! The NFL has officially reinstated Adam Jones, a move that gives the Dallas Cowboys — arguably — the best defensive backfield in the league. Jerry Jones’ gamble on the troubled young man will pay dividends for the Cowboys this season if he does as little as play as good as [...]

What will that prove?

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Shawne Merriman is an idiot. Look, I don’t care how brave and/heroic you want to seem by playing through two torn knee ligaments, this is not going to end well.
 
“To be as simple as possible, I just want to play football,” Merriman said. “That’s what it comes down to. I know what’s on the table, [...]

Random thoughts on a slow night

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Olympics

Instant replay is finally in Major League Baseball. How long overdue was this move? I can understand not wanting to incur even more delays in games that are drawn out as it is but implementing it for boundary calls like home runs and fair-foul decisions is a great step forward. I still remember that one [...]

Painful pointlessness

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Well, the Giants are in some trouble now. Since winning the Super Bowl early this year, the Giants are now down two of the main reasons it was able to upset the Patriots — Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora. Sure, Strahan says he would come back from retirement (pulling a Favre) if the Giants offered [...]

A long two weeks

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Olympics

The Olympics have come and (finally) gone. It will be another four years before we, as fans of real sports, have to endure our Sports Centres being filled with rhythmic gymnastics results and canoeing or race walking updates. So here were my lasting impressions of the 2008 Beijing Games…
 
I really don’t believe how much I [...]

The great adapting Madden

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Video Games

Madden football is a yearly staple for every sports gamer’s collection and the centrepiece of EA’s lineup. For the 09 edition, a ton of new features help keep the game fresh while many times in a franchise like Madden’s case, the new game is nothing more than a roster update improved over the previous year’s [...]

Fantasy Football time!

by Dan Bilicki In: Fantasy, Football

Instead of sleeping in yesterday, I decided to wake up nice and early (1 p.m.) to take part in my traditional, random Yahoo! fantasy league. Why? Because I feel it’s my civic duty to play against some of the chumps who call themselves knowledgeable regarding the world of football. How did I fare? You’ll have [...]

The lesser of two evils

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

It looks like Rex Grossman won the battle with Kyle Orton to see who was the more incompetent quarterback and will be the backup to Orton’s lead. Either way you slice it, the Bears are going to stink on offence. I still don’t understand why the Bears didn’t move to get a new QB in [...]

Simply stunning

by Dan Bilicki In: Olympics

How about that Michael Phelps. A whopping eight Gold medals in a single Olympics to bring his career total up to 14 — five more than anybody else. Plus, he’ll be back in the pool, swimming for even more glory in London’s 2012 Games, if he feels like it. Now, he may have “saved the [...]
