Catching up with football

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Finally, I’ve got some time to talk NFL after a busy weekend and the NCAA final Monday night. I guess it’s a blessing and curse to be too inundated with hot sports stories, but these two items cannot be ignored much longer: Jay Cutler’s trade from Denver and Plaxico Burress’ exile from the Big Apple.

The road ends here

The only [...]

At the centre of it all

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

It’s a good thing that not too much news has to be reported on this week, other than Final Four build up that is. It really frees me up for these previews without being weighed down by having to comment on the NFL pre-season schedule, or debating if Matt Stafford will be taken No. 1 [...]

Staying out West

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Remember a few seasons ago, when the Padres, Diamondbacks and Rockies went right down to the wire and the Dodgers and Giants weren’t that bad either? Well this isn’t going to be one of those seasons. The NL West isn’t going to be anything special with three teams under .500 for sure and two whose [...]
