Since the Twins and Tigers split their doubleheader yesterday in their biggest series of the season, Detroit is now two games ahead of Minnesota for the AL Central title. But, as I’ve stated before, this race is essentially moot. So, why not take a look back at the predictions from the beginning of the season [...]

Well, something had to give. The Cowboys, who hadn’t recorded a sack or a turnover so far this season, were hosting the Carolina Panthers, who start Jake Delhomme at QB, last night for Monday Night Football.
Did you really think that a QB as bad as Delhomme could go an entire game without giving up the [...]

It’s literally been years since this has happened, but the Detroit Lions actually won a football game. By defeating the Washington Redskins 19-14, the Lions snapped their 19-game losing streak that included all of last season. The irony behind the Lions winning this game though, is that nobody in Detroit could watch it on television. [...]

Why is everyone writing off star quarterbacks already? Tom Brady hasn’t been super human like many people assumed he would be after returning from having his knee literally blown apart. Tony Romo couldn’t beat the Giants and threw two interceptions, now he’s apparently one of the worst QBs in the league. Brett Favre is taking [...]

It seems that it’s becoming a yearly tradition for ESPN to try to figure out a way to help the NHL through expansion, contraction, moving teams and realignment. While the struggling ice hockey league has just started their pre-season now, why shouldn’t ESPN give their columnists a short at fictionally turning the league around and [...]

There’s one hell of a race going on for the playoffs that doesn’t even matter. Yet, since we need stories about baseball’s pennant drive, we’re going to have to endure the AL Central watch for another 10 days.
Seriously, what’s the point?
Either the Detroit Tigers or Minnesota Twins will take the crown of the worst division [...]

With the Colts-Dolphins ending up being a thriller, you could almost question which had better drama: The season premiers of House and/or Heroes on opposite channels, or the great game that came down to a hail mary on the last play.
We’ve all been treated to an amazing SIX night games in a row that have [...]

It’s the first official day of fall and that just means football is around to keep you away from your much-needed yard work. And what a slate of Sunday games it was as well, topped off with the grand opening of Jerry Jones’ $1.15-billion masterpiece and the biggest crowd to ever watch an NFL game.

While I did start 7-8 last week, the first week of the season is always the toughest to pick. Even week two is no easy ride as there isn’t a true way to pick up patterns yet or truly analyze players impacts from a single outing. While all that sounds like pre-existing excuses for a [...]

After watching as much Champions League football as I could the past two days, it’s been quite easy to see that there may be something up at the top of the football world. Have the teams of the English Premier League fallen off a bit? Glancing at their rosters, they have lost one or two [...]
