Every time an all-whatever roster is named, there’s going to be snubs. With the Pro Bowl teams named yesterday, the joy of criticizing the picks is here. But first, why in the world are the Pro Bowl teams being named when the regular season is still two games from completion? Could they not wait the [...]

Well, it had been rumoured for a week or so but now it’s official, there will be no Arena Football season in 2009. This is just another cut in the sports universe during these trying financial times but at least the league hasn’t halted operations for good and folded outright. The AFL will be back [...]

For a team that’s supposedly divided down to the core, the Cowboys played one hell of a game against the Giants last night. After all the talk of the Witten-Romo vs. T.O. and the rest of the wide outs saga was the story of the week, Dallas held down the fort and disposed of the [...]

I guess someone forgot to tell Pierre Thomas that you’re not supposed to be able to run against the Bears. I guess they just overlooked them because they hadn’t heard about him before. In fairness, I overlooked him too, starting Reggie Bush over Thomas as a runningback in one of my fantasy playoffs.
Now for this [...]

Well, the CC Sabathia sweepstakes have been won by the team that we knew would win them all along, the Yankees. And all it took was the richest pitching contract in the history of baseball. At seven years and $161 million, he’ll never live up to that kind of price. I just want to know [...]

Just a quick little video link here. If Darko showed the kind of passion on the floor playing as he did ripping off his jersey – Hulk Hogan-style – maybe he wouldn’t be one of the most memorable busts in the history of the NBA.

The man who everybody wants but hardly anyone can afford at baseball’s winter meetings is – of course – CC Sabathia (If he goes back to the AL will he reinsert the periods in C.C.?). The Yankees have already thrown their huge offer at the huge man while the Brewers are also working on ways [...]

Maybe the whole Plaxico mess has gotten to the Giants’ heads. The team that’s been as error-free as possible so far this season (with the exception of the Cleveland game) put on a gaffe-filled show against Philadelphia yesterday. Dropped passes and missed opportunities were all over the place and bad decisions — like having Antonio [...]

You really don’t remember how bad the Raiders actually are until you actually sit and watch them play. Because there will always be a better game on Sundays to view and Oakland isn’t going to be getting any Monday night dates any time soon, there isn’t really much of a chance to view this hapless [...]

Commissioner Gary Bettman is at it again. He’s made his sport look dumb and everyone seems to turn their blind eye to it because the man who committed the misdeed is an agitator that has crossed him in the past.
The suspension of Sean Avery is a joke.
Sure, he made an “off-colour” remark about his ex-girlfriend [...]
