Good news from the Rockets?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Recently, when news came from the Houston Rockets, it has been horrible. From Yao’s constant foot injuries potentially being career ending, to losing Ron Artest, to the whole Tracy McGrady saga, seeing the Rockets in the headlines was never a good thing for the Houston franchise.
But now, there may be a change in that: Yao [...]

Mr. Vick’s debut

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

I’ve been busy throwing together a division-by-division NFL preview so I haven’t had a chance to really delve into the news the past two days, but there was one thing that caught my eye. Michael Vick made his Philadelphia Eagles on-field debut last night to much fanfare. But really, should we all be waving our [...]

Green Street mayhem

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

It may be kept under wraps in North American the majority of the time, but hooliganism in soccer is still out there and yesterday’s second round English Cup match was the perfect demonstration of it. In case you didn’t know, the folks who support West Ham and the folks who support Millwall don’t like each [...]

Super-Sad-Beas?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

There is something wrong with Michael Beasley. To see why, you must first view the following picture that he posted on his Twitter account (which has since been deactivated). It’s still on Yahoo! though, so have a look.
Beasley’s TwitPic

First of all, what an awful tattoo. Why would anybody in their right mind get the word(s) [...]

The Senior Circuit’s problem

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

If you had any doubt that there is a huge disparity in the calibre of play between the American League and National League, those doubts should have ended yesterday with John Smoltz’s performance against the Padres.
Smoltz, debuting for the Cardinals after being released by the Boston Red Sox, gave up three hits and no runs [...]

The Amazing Bolt

by Dan Bilicki In: Uncategorized

How great is Usain Bolt? Quite simply he is the best sprinter ever and yesterday he was at it again. Just days after smashing his year-old record for the 100-metre sprint, he smashed his year-old record in the 200-metre dash. The weird part: He beat both World Records by .11 seconds.
Not to say that he [...]

Just when we thought we were out…

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

…Brett Favre pulled us right back in.
Seriously? Do I have to write about Brett Favre again? I had I really hoped that this saga was all over and good ol’ Brett could have just made the next step and signed on to one of the many already over-crowded pre-game shows. I’m sure Peter King would [...]

The Strasburg fiasco

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

By now, it should be no secret: Something has to be done about the MLB draft and its signing system. Too much power is given to the prospects and, ergo, their agents and it hurts the system. Throw in the fact that players actually slide due to their signability and it’s fairly obvious something needs [...]

Record-breaking Sunday

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

It’s always a luxury when two huge events break in the sports world. Too often in the summer I’m stuck writing about silly MLB trade rumours that will never happen. But yesterday was a case of the former. With Usain Bolt destroying the 100 metre sprint world record and Tiger falling apart at the PGA [...]

Vick Madness

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Just when I was psyched up to grab my copy of Madden and start my franchise off right by signing Michael Vick to a terribly low contract, he had to go out and sign with the Philadelphia Eagles and ruin my chance of stealing him as a wildcat guy.
While joining the Eagles organization makes sense [...]
