The never-say-die Rays did it. I didn’t think they could come back after that stomach punch win (to steal a phrase from Bill Simmons) in Game 5, but they did it. They even looked pretty dead in the water for Game 6 but in Game 7, when both teams were all-in, everyone on the Rays [...]
What exactly will they put on the back of their jerseys? Has there ever been two guys with the same name on the backs on of their jerseys? Now that the Cowboys have two Roy Williams, this might get complicated. Imagine if they wore opposite numbers? Like Safety Roy wears 38 and Receiver Roy could [...]
How about the ending of that game? The Red Sox come back from down seven runs and possibly shift the momentum to their side heading into the weekend. Whether they play one game or two is still up to them though. I had completely written off the Sox after Tampa Bay jumped out 7-0 and [...]
The Dodgers played do-or-die baseball and they — unfortunately — tasted the latter of the proposition. Pulling starter Chad Billingsley, who had, in fairness, given up three runs in less than three innings and looked awful, was a move that basically said “all-in” for Los Angeles. They had to do something with their hand and [...]
The Rays in the World Series… It’s on the cusp of happening and I’m not sure if I can fully grasp it yet. This is a team that was the definition of losing for many years. The literal and proverbial joke of the sport and now they are a win away (out of three chances) [...]
It looks like the NFC East isn’t quite the powerhouse that we thought it was. In fact, it seems that this year more than ever, whenever you feel like you truly know what’s happening and which teams are contenders, everything does a 180. Just look at this week’s games.
First, the Cowboys now look like they’re [...]
Troubles a brewin’ in Big D. Their secondary — which hasn’t been as great as it looks on paper — has some potentially big problems. First, Terrence Newman, who has already missed a few games, has a sports hernia, which might require surgery and could cause him to miss a minimum of six weeks. He’s [...]
The NHL is on the outs with me. It’s really been a down-ward, slippery slope-style slide too. Several times in the past I’ve run little comments on how the NHL is going about things wrong. They’ve been entitled “What’s wrong with the NHL,” and honestly, if I cared enough about the sport of hockey, it [...]
The MLB division series went by without much opposition from the eventual losing sides and we even saw the two top seeds in all of baseball get dethroned — one was swept. It just goes to show you that baseball isn’t just about amassing a great regular season record, it’s about coming through when it [...]
Are the Miami Dolphins good or is it just that “wildcat” offensive package that makes them seem like it? They now have victories over New England (sans Brady) and San Diego since allowing Ronnie Brown to take snaps and I don’t think it’s a coincidence. The reason I think allows this system to work best [...]
