If there’s one annual event that the NHL does right, it’s not the Stanley Cup final (hockey in the summer?). It’s not the all-star “weekend” (a shootout “slam dunk” competition? seriously?) and it’s not their award show (although the prospect of holding it Vegas is pleasant). The one thing they get right is the Winter [...]
Thanks to those wonderful things called holidays, a wonderful weekend of de facto playoff football and an Intern who is unwilling to write, RTP hasn’t been able to get around to proclaiming the Los Angeles Lakers the NBA Champions yet. Of course, this is quite premature as it’s not even January, but after downing the [...]
That’s how any Cowboys fan is feeling right now. It’s never an easy proposition to win in Philadelphia, but this game was just ridiculously bad. Four fumbles — all lost and two returned for touchdowns —by the Cowboys was about as sloppy as I’ve ever seen them play. And I was a fan during the [...]
No opening shpiel today, let’s get right into the picks so I can go out Boxing Day shopping.
All of the lines are from Vegas and all the home teams are in CAPS.
Oakland (+13) over TAMPA BAY
It’s always risky taking the Raiders since they stink, but Tom Cable is coaching to keep his job and I’m [...]
The New York Yankees got their man, again. By throwing even more money around, they’ve now landed Mark Teixeira for a whopping eight-year, $180-million deal. Honestly, I’m just happy that the Red Sox didn’t sign him. While the Yanks needed a big bat at first base to move Nick Swisher to a corner outfield spot, [...]
Since 2008 is very quickly coming to an end, we’re going to start seeing year-in-review and greatest-moments-of-the-year type articles and awards popping up everywhere. The first of which that I’ve seen is the Associated Press athlete of year award and if this where these awards are going, I don’t want to see any more handed [...]
The Giants and Titans both got back on track and defeated some tough opponents on the very fields they’ll be defending during the playoffs up until the Super Bowl – if they should make it that far. But the real first that everyone is talking about occurred on the opposite end of the spectrum – [...]
Mats Sundin has finally made up his mind about where he wants to play this season, even though it’s already two months into the season. He’s chosen the Vancouver Canucks over several suitors like the Rangers, Canadiens, Wings, Flyers and the Leafs. But, he didn’t just become a Canuck when he signed on the dotted [...]
With the Colts clinching a playoff spot and Mats Sundin finally deciding where he wants to play this season, two mysteries of the sports world were banged out yesterday. While the Colts had an inside route to their final destination, it really came down to the wire with the crafty Swede who came to the [...]
Can we just give the winner of the Xmas day game between the Celtics and the Lakers the NBA title and then fast forward to the summer of 2010? Or would you rather wait for the victor to take on the Cavs before making that call? I think it might be safer that way. With [...]
