Every Toronto Maple Leafs fan had their wet dream come true — they’ve finally landed Brian Burke to GM their team. Personally, I don’t get what is so great about this guy. He’s shady, he’s horrible with a salary cap, he’s only won one Stanley Cup (Yes, I do realize that’s one more the Leafs [...]

What a day for blowouts. Watching the Titans run all over the Lions was embarassing. I have no confidence in them to even cover a single game from here on out. The only realistic chance to get off the schnied and not join the 1976 Bucs as winless teams is next week against Minnesota. But [...]

While everyone north of the border who live in the “51st state” (like us here at Running The Point) may have celebrated Thanksgiving more than a month ago, our football games weren’t anything close to being entertaining. Thankfully, the CFL is over with until next spring and we can all concentrate on real games. I [...]

Well it didn’t take long for the Wizards’ patience to run out on Eddie Jordan. When you start 1-10, it doesn’t matter if you’re missing two key players. Washington still have a talented team with potential all-stars Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison in the lineup.
The 1-12 ex-Sonics fired their coach as well, but can you [...]

This Thursday’s Thanksgiving matchups had already lost their lustre a bit this season with Thursday night games already taking place for the past two weeks, but now we, the viewing public will be deprived of an amazing sight. Because the Jets went down to Tennessee and defeated the 10-0 Titans, we won’t see the first [...]

Last night’s game absolutely infuriated me. It made me want to punch Marvin Lewis right in the face for being such a coward and an awful coach. Let me set the scene: Trailing 20-7 with under seven minutes remaining, the Bungles were within the Steelers 10-yard line and faced a fourth down decision. Well, let’s [...]

Firstly, how much respect did you lose for Donovan McNabb after learning that he doesn’t even know the rules to the sport that he’s playing? For me, I think he’s an idiot now. I had my doubts about his IQ after the whole clock management in the Super Bowl fiasco but this was just bad. [...]

Dustin Pedroia is a great player. He’s the best second baseman in the American League without a doubt and is second in all of baseball to Philadelphia’s Chase Utley. But he’s not the MVP. In fact, when I looked at the candidates for the award, I placed the diminutive Red Sock no higher than fourth. [...]

I don’t know much about the stock market, trading or even an extensive amount of investing my money, but I will tell you this: Mark Cuban is in trouble. It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to know that insider trading is illegal because, let’s face it, we all know what happened to Martha Stewart not [...]

A tie? Seriously? What bothers me more than the way that Philadelphia couldn’t hit a field goal within the 15 minutes of overtime — or score more than 13 points for that matter — is that now we’ll be subjected to the hopelessly annoying x-x-1 at the ends of the Eagles and Bengals records on [...]
