The open market

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

So, where is everyone going to go? There’s a few big names out there so let’s take a quick look at who might go where. 
— Albert Haynesworth. He’ll make the most money out of any of this year’s crop and he deserves it. There are many downsides to picking up the big man though, but [...]

Spring training startup

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

It’s finally back. The boys of summer are raring to go and it’s not even March yet. That’s right, start filling out those fantasy baseball cheat sheets and ready for your drafts boys, spring training is under way. And, because baseball’s underway, the thing that always follows it — drama — is in tow.
Alex Rodriguez [...]

Just to let you know

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

The Edmonton Oilers, who are currently in ninth place in the Western Conference, are giving season ticket holders until March 2 to secure their playoff tickets.
That’s right, a team that isn’t even in a post-season position right now, is giving their most loyal fans a deadline — in case they make it.
A jinx? Optimism? I [...]

Picking up paydays

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

The trade deadline may have passed in the NBA but that doesn’t mean that players aren’t on the move still. You won’t find this in any other league, but the NBA actually allows teams to buy out players, who can then sign with an contending team of their choice. So, now, a guy like Mikki [...]

Parting ways

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

I never thought it would happen, but clearly it needed to: Marvin Harrison won’t be back with Indianapolis Colts. The 36-year-old wide out, who refused to take a pay cut, has agreed with the team to be released.
It’s really the end of an era. Ever since I can remember, the Colts consisted of the Peyton [...]

Idiots and more idiots

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

The title describes the two types of people that make the so-called “Leaf Nation.” It’s long been known that fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs are among the dumbest in professional sports. People become so proud of the sad-sack franchise that they’ll go to retarded lengths to defend its’ honour. In fact, I once met [...]

A dead deadline

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Not much at this year’s NBA trade deadline, but really, we shouldn’t work ourselves up and expect big moves every year. Unlike the NHL’s and MLB’s trade deadlines, where moves are aplenty and it’s a lot easier to trade because of uncomplicated cap situations, the NBA’s deadline always ends up being all sizzle but no [...]

The deadline approaches

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

With the NBA trade deadline happening and the world in a financial mess, Thursday could be a very interesting day for basketball. A lot of teams will be interested in shedding players because of their contracts more so than their play on the court. With the salary cap looking like it will be decreasing next [...]

An NBA pit stop

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

He might not have played in the actual all-star game, but what a great weekend it was for Kevin Durant. First, he absolutely puts on a clinic in the rookie-sophomore challenge, then wins HORSE, err, GEICO. Sure, nobody plays any sort of defence in that youngstars game, but 46 is a lot of points. As [...]
