It’s taken the entire two week period between the conference championship games and this Sunday’s Super Bowl for me to decide who to pick. I can’t remember the last time I’ve hemmed and hawed about the Super Bowl this much and after this wacky, quirky season, I shouldn’t be this surprised by it. I mean, [...]
Since it’s snowing like crazy here and my driveway is in desperate need of shovelling, I’ll make this quick. Apparently the Detroit Red Wings aren’t the smartest team in hockey since they’re pulling off a bone-headed move. Sure, it sounds nice that they’ll have Henrik Zetterberg locked up for life with a 12-year, $72-million contract [...]
With the Super Bowl less than a weak away now, it’s time to really ramp up the analyses and coverage. It’s like the pregame show is already taking place with all the (duly deserved) media coverage setting their sights squarely on Tampa. Here’s some things I’ve already picked up in the media blitz that’s occured [...]
What’s this? Two NHL-related posts in a row? It must be a week off for the NFL. Couple the fact that football is off this week, building to the biggest show of the year, with the fact the all-star game took place in Montreal yesterday and I have to write about puck for a bit.
As [...]
I have no idea how the NHL came to this decision, but it really blows my mind. How can a league take five days off from play for their all-star festivities? All-star weekend starts today (Thursday) and the next scheduled regular season games are next Tuesday!
Then, there’s the issue of the shootout competition. Yes, they’ve [...]
Since I’ve yet to acknowledge the all-important transfer window over in European soccer, why not now? Well what better place to start than with Manchester City’s attempts to become the Yankees of Europe? It’s just too bad that they have tried to buy the biggest star in the sport that doesn’t care about money – [...]
What a day for basketball. Not to sound racist or anything, but I find it very appropriate that the NBA used a day to honour an African-American hero to play some good matinees and top of the schedule with a meeting between, arguably, the league’s two best teams.
Raptors blew it against the Hawks. While it [...]
In case you haven’t heard yet, we’re heading towards Tampa with a Super Bowl matchup of the high-flying Arizona Cardinals vs. The rough-and-tough Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s a classic matchup of a great offence against a great defence – the unstoppable force meets the immovable object. Which side will give? Well, that’s what we’ll have two [...]
Like it or not, we’re going to be seeing a nine-win team in the Super Bowl. Many pundits will argue over the course of the summer how the playoff system needs to be changed because the nine-win Cardinals and eight-win Chargers should not have been in the post-season because of their sub-par records, but the [...]
I’ve been trying to get the Intern to write about this for a while now but I really should’ve known better. Maybe I should look at getting him retired so I can take him off of RTP’s salary cap and stay out of the luxury tax…
So, in background on the situation, Darius Miles, formerly of [...]
