Deja Vu all over again

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

The Mets are in trouble. This could very well be the second September collapse in a row for New York as they’ve now lost four straight while the Phillies continue their hot September and pulled into first by topping the Braves. Ryan Howard hit his 45th jack of the season to beat Atlanta 8-7 and [...]

Questionable calls

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

It was quite the weekend for bad decisions in the NFL. I really can’t remember this many bone-head moments and highly questionable decisions made. Didn’t see them all? Well here’s a roundup.
In the most egregious call of the weekend, Ed Hochuli will actually be downgraded from being a head official for mucking up the end [...]

The Island is in trouble

by Dan Bilicki In: Fantasy, Football, Picks

It’s tough times for the Coney Island Whitefish so far this season. Not only did I lose my starting QB (Brady) for the season, I’ve now lost my number one receiver for at least a month. With Marques Colston sidelined by thumb surgery, the Whitefish will now be looking at Laverneous Coles and DeSean Jackson [...]

The Angels clinch

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Fantasy, Football

Good for the Angels for clinching their division and being able to pretty much coast from here into the playoffs. It must have been really hard to outlast the Rangers (who have zero pitching), the Athletics (gave up at the trade deadline despite actually being in contention for a while) and the Mariners (the biggest [...]

Catching up with baseball

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

You may not have known this, but there’s actually more going on in the sports world than football. In fact, there’s quite a few great races for the post-season going on in baseball. Here are  a few things I’ve realized and you might not have known if you weren’t paying attention to America’s favourite pass [...]

Injury pile ups

by Dan Bilicki In: Fantasy, Football, Picks

This might’ve been the most injury-filled NFL week I can remember. Never have so many key guys headed to the sidelines in pain. And, of course, it’s only magnified by seeing the league’s reigning MVP being lost for the season in the first quarter of the first game of the season. So, how about a [...]

Opening kickoff + picks!

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

The NFL season finally got underway last night and, honestly, I actually uttered the words, “I missed you.” It sure didn’t take long for Justin Tuck to show that he’s more than capable of doing his share in the wake of the Strahan retirement and Umenyiora injury. It only took him one play to reach [...]

Another stunning season begins

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

Since the NFL feels like kicking off their season on Thursday nights now, it leaves prognosticators like myself the thrill of having to break down one game several nights before the rest of week’s match ups. Granted, it does mean one less game to break down for Sunday’s slate but it just doesn’t feel right. [...]

2009 NFC preview

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

With the AFC out of the way, how about those boys in blue?
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys (Last season: 13-3).
The Cowboys have everything a team needs to be great. A high throttle offence, a strong defence and a schedule without too many causes for concern. Their only issues are their depth at receiver — not much after [...]

Good bye summer, hello NFL!

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

It’s that wonderful time of the year! The leaves have starting to change colour, the weather’s getting a bit chillier, lawns no longer need mowing and that dreadful holiday Labour Day is done with. That’s right, it’s football season. Yes guys, you finally have something to do on Sunday besides spend time with your wife [...]
