Taking a break in a week that is purely about the NCAA tournament (updated thinking later), there has to be some commentary here on the Jay Cutler situation.
I have no idea how the Broncos could have screwed this up more. Well, perhaps they could’ve shopped him for even less and essentially told him he wasn’t [...]

If you haven’t filled out a bracket by now, what are you waiting for? After Selection Sunday, everything is in place for the best tournament in all of sports. A 65-team single elimination tournament where only the best can survive and taking even a few minutes off on the court, can cost your team — [...]

Jonathon Papelbon opened his big mouth and not only proved that he’s a douchebag, he also effectively threw three of his teammates under the bus.
Look, we all know that Manny didn’t like playing in Boston last season after they left him in limbo over his two option years. But, really, everybody with half of a [...]

Since I don’t really want to get too much into the NHL GM meetings (I’ve stated again and again that the game needs to be cleaned up), MLB Spring Training (is anyone paying attention?), the NCAA tournament (see you on Selection Sunday) or the NBA’s economic state (I don’t know nearly enough about that to [...]

When you think of the Netherlands, baseball usually doesn’t come to mind. Well, even after having the most improbable win in the World Baseball Classic, it’s still not going to help their baseball reputation.
When looking at the Netherland’s extra innings, 2-1 win over the MLB star-heavy Dominican Republic, we should all remember that this tournament [...]

It would seem only logical to talk about championship week in college basketball, but really, I wouldn’t know where to start. With something like 20 different playoffs happening, how can anyone keep track? Let’s put it this way, on the wire, the glance for the Conference Tournaments is 95 lines long of agate (that tiny [...]

Like most people who follow football, I was absolutely flabbergasted upon hearing that Terrell Owens signed with the Buffalo Bills. Then, after absorbing the information over a day or so, I realized that this was a stunningly great move. Let’s breakdown all the positives, since the only real negatives are that he’s a locker room [...]

Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more news about Alex Rodriguez jammed into your life, there came the word that he has a torn labrum in his hip that might require surgery. Great, now there will be daily stories about the decision of whether to rehab and rest the injury or go under [...]

It might be surprising to some, but really, the Cowboys releasing Terrell Owens is precadent setting. It really goes to show guys out there that it doesn’t matter how great of a player you are, if you’re not part of the team and have good relationships in the locker room, well, you’re expendable.

There weren’t many big winners in yesterday’s NHL trade deadline, but two things are for certain: The Flames have become a true Cup contender and the Maple Leafs have officially given up on this season.
Adding Olli Jokinen and Jordan Leopold were the two of the biggest moves to go down yesterday and Calgary landed both [...]
