Time is running down quickly for teams to solidify their chances to make the playoffs. What that means for us, the fans, is some fantastic efforts coming out of teams desperate to make the post-season as well as players on vacation-bound teams aiming for off-season free agency or contract incentives. Yes, that’s the sports world [...]

While I have no doubt tonight that the Patriots/Jets match won’t be anything like Monday night’s debacle, I’ve still got to comment on that debacle.
I have never seen a more error-filled game than Monday night’s Arizona-San Francisco affair. It seemed like flags were flying on every play down the stretch and this wasn’t even trigger-happy [...]

Just a few things on my mind that aren’t really big enough to deserve their own individual posts today.
I have already aired my grievance over the NFL’s “Keep your here as long as we can,” rule which prevents the public from watching 1 p.m. games past 4:10 p.m., even if they’re headed to overtime or [...]

It’s really shaping up to be an interesting off-season in Major League Baseball. We’re coming off a year where a team won their first World Series in 20-something years over a former doormat who somehow looks like a potential dynasty. Both New York teams closed down their home fields without playoff appearances and an AL [...]

I guess when you have nothing left to lose like the Chiefs did, you can go for a two-point conversion with the game on the line, botch it and nobody in the media will skew you because you were a) already awful and b) taking a risk to try to win. It’s nice to see a [...]

It’s been a great season for new beginnings and Brady Quinn taking the torch for Cleveland last night was no exception. It’s just too bad that he’s playing for an awful team. I have no idea what the hell was going on with the defender on that 93 yard TD pass but it sure wasn’t [...]

Apparently the United States went to the polls yesterday and elected a new leader. This of course meant nothing good was on television to distract us from the world of sports that’s out there to keep everyone sane. It might have been slow in terms of recent standards but there were some noteworthy happenings.
— Apparently [...]

It didn’t take long for the NBA to shaken up by a big trade this season. The Pistons and Nuggets have only played three games each right now and they decided to vastly alter their rosters. Detroit shipped former Finals MVP Chauncey Billups and serviceable big man Antonio McDyess to Denver for future Hall of [...]

That’s how long I got to watch the overtime of Tennessee against Green Bay yesterday, “as long as possible.” That turned out to be just long enough for the Titans to move the ball to midfield in overtime before the coverage was cut out. And it didn’t even go to the next game on tap [...]

I’ve got to say, my fantasy team’s season is about as over as the Cincinnati Bengals. Sitting at 1-7 this late in the season, I’d have to win out and hope for the teams on top of me to falter severely. The worst part about this is that since it’s a work pool, I certainly [...]
