Despite all the hyping, selling, and fretting for the two game sevens on Sunday night, they both really failed to live up to their billing. Sure, you can call Orlando beating Boston an upset, but it was fairly apparent that the Celtics were overmatched and it really seemed that they had given up towards the [...]
Who would have thought that a mere two nights after sitting high the sports world and celebrating three huge victories in one night, the entire brood of Boston sports teams would fail in an even bigger fashion. Seriously, it was so big that ESPN’s Bill Simmons forked out $79 to watch the Bruins game and [...]
It seemed very fitting that the Jays went out and got smoked by the Yankees 8-2 last night, the same day that I pointed A) how great the Jays are, B) how the Yanks are underacheiving and C) how the line on the game was crazy and should have favoured New York.
You can also look [...]
The real furor over the Toronto Blue Jays hot start has finally started. All it took, for some reason, was a victory over a team that’s under .500 and greatly underachieving (the Yankees last night). You’d think that being the best team in baseball would’ve triggered some media attention earlier, right? Wrong.
Until last night, the [...]
There’s either something really wrong with the Lakers, or something that the Rockets are doing really right. When I heard that the Rockets superstar, Yao Ming, would miss the rest of the playoffs, well I had to figure that the Lakers would easily take the rest of the series. Hell, I had thought that they [...]
Finally, someone who was part of the 2004 anything-is-possible Boston Red Sox championship team has been caught by the MLB and handed a drug suspension. It was a big name too: Manny Ramirez.
Poor Manny. If it wasn’t bad enough that he was caught using a PED, he was caught using a female fertility drug, hCG, [...]
Depending on what side of the pitch you were supporting, yesterday’s Champions League semifinal between Chelsea and Barcelona was cause for heartbreak or cause for joyous celebration.
Everything seemed to be going fine for Chelsea in the first half. They had scored a dynamite goal to give them the 1-0 aggregate advantage and they were defending [...]
It’s deja vu all over again. Just as we were all plagued last summer about Brett Favre’s potential comeback, it’s beginning to look like it will happen again. Yes, Favre is talking with the Minnesota Vikings about playing next season.
We’ve gone through all of this drama before, why is he forcing this on us again? [...]
There shouldn’t have been any doubt about this for the past weeks, but it was made official yesterday: LeBron James is the NBA’s MVP. Seriously, who else could it have honestly been? As great of a season it had been for individual performances, LeBron still stood the tallest by a sizable margin.
King James had a [...]
ESPN.com ran several promos on their site this weekend about how this Saturday was “Showdown Saturday.” While one or two of the events didn’t particularly live up to a headliner’s billing, they did get it right for the most part.
On top of the NHL and NBA playoffs – which are moving along quite nicely I [...]
