What to do about Odom

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

I have no idea what is going on between the Los Angeles Lakers and free agent forward Lamar Odom, but it’s getting a bit wacky. How a man turns down sure money from the defending champions is simply mind-boggling. Well, let’s take a look at the scenario.
Apparently there were two deals on the table, according [...]

The Obama-star game

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Is it just me or did every single interview during last night’s all-star game revolve on U.S. President Barack Obama? I know how important and historically significant he has been for the States, but wasn’t there a game going on?
Since everyone was too busy paying attention to the man who basically controls the free world, [...]

Derby downer

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Has, God forbid, the Home Run Derby lost its “oomph?” Last night, it sure felt like it was. With no superhuman performances, a finalist who is a borderline all-star, a flame out by the local hero and a three hour running time, last night’s Derby was actually boring at times. But what can be done [...]

Funniest news of the day

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Apparently Tracy McGrady is switching to number 3 from 1 for this coming season. First, he essentially steal incoming Trevor Ariza’s number that he wore with the Lakers. Second, I didn’t know they printed your number on the suits he’ll be wearing on the sidelines this season.
Kidding aside, it is nice to see a big-time [...]

An absolute monster

by Dan Bilicki In: Uncategorized

While we’re sure to see home monster homers tonight in the Home Run Derby, there was only one monster in the ring for UFC 100’s main event. That monster was Brock Lesnar and to say that he dominated Frank Mir from the beginning of the match until Lesnar was pulled off a defenseless opponent might [...]

No average Joe

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

With Joe Sakic’s retirement yesterday, it marks the end of an era. Joe was one of the last stars of the 90s who was still hanging around late into the Aughts. He retires sitting eighth in career points (1641), 11th in assists (1016) and 14th in goals (625). He’s also one of the few players [...]

The biggest non-news of the day

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Since when did the willingness to listen to a deal become a top news story? Just because Toronto Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi is now willing to listen to offers for franchise cornerstone Roy Halladay, doesn’t mean anything will happen. Seriously, I think that any GM that says he won’t even listen to a deal [...]

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Let’s face it, the big two really wouldn’t have deserved a trip to St. Louis if they had been voted in, and really, we, the fans did a great job in picking a all-star teams this year. Here’s how the ended up for the July 14 bash between the American League and the National League [...]

Master of Champions

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

MLB all-star rosters may have been announced yesterday, but the real news was over in England. Roger Federer won his record 15th Grand Slam championship by defeating Andy Roddick in the longest fifth set ever played at Wimbledon.
It’s the second year in a row that the final has been an absolutely stunning match. After last [...]

RIP Steve McNair

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

A sad story today about former Tennessee Titan and NFL co-MVP. Seeing the news that Steve McNair was murdered in Nashville was a shock to say the least. I can’t say I ever rooted for him, but I did appreciate how good of a player and leader he was. Let’s not forget that he took [...]
