There’s nothing like Game Seven in an NHL playoff series. In baseball and basketball, tensions will rise, but not like they do in a physical sport like hockey.
The two games last night came down to some incredibly clutch performances by the winners and terrible collapses by the losers. Martin Brodeur, one of the best goalies [...]
It takes a lot to set a record these days. Think about how many games have been played in any professional sports league. Think about how many greats have come before today’s athletes. Even if guys today have more modern equipment in their quests for greatness, their opponents have all the same benefits. That’s why [...]
It was really nice of ESPN.com to run a story on Sunday about Cliff Lee and his struggles this year. Having him on my fantasy team, I know that he’s had two strong back-to-back starts and is showing the form he had during last year’s Cy Young campaign. Throw in the fact that he pitched [...]
Let’s get this right from the beginning: Nobody wins and nobody loses the draft. It’s not nearly that simple and anyone claiming it is, is an idiot. No matter what draft you’re talking about, you can’t win it the day of. Drafts are about gearing up your team for the future and only in said [...]
Here’s a quick take on how I think today’s NFL draft will breakdown. Of course it will never work out like this because I’m willing to bet everything that I own that someone will trade either up or down in the First Round — effectively killing every mock you’ve read for the past few months.
(Note: [...]
We all know about the Madden Curse now, the one that says that everyone who has been on the cover of the beloved football game inevitably has an awful season and in some cases have had their careers ruined. But what will happen with the cover athletes of Madden 10 (due for release this August)?
For [...]
If I told you that a team gave an aging pivot a five-year contract extension, essentially, the game after the player put up the worst performance of his career, you’d probably think Isiah Thomas or the Raiders were involved, right? Wrong. After throwing five picks and fumbling once against the underdog Cardinals this past January, [...]
I was going to originally write a breakdown for each first round matchup, but after a lot of thought and feelings of lethargy I decided that idea was futile. With that being said, it really is only a two team race. The two teams of course being the L.A. Lakers and Toronto Raptors… Err, I [...]
With the Canucks finishing up their sweep of the St. Louis Blues last night, they became the first team to advance in both the NBA and NHL playoffs. Granted, NBA teams have yet to even play four games, but since they’re both going on at roughly the same time, why now group them together? So [...]
The Jacksonville Jaguars filled their biggest hole of the off-season by inking Torry Holt to a three-year deal yesterday. To say that the Jags needed a wide receiver would be a huge understatement. The team had already let go of three wide outs this off-season, including two troubled recent first round picks in Matt Jones [...]
