It’s going to be one hell of a Sunday if the weather’s nice in Philadelphia. This could be the first time in the history of sports that the MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL have played on the same day. That has either got to mean that baseball’s going too long, the NBA’s staring too early [...]
Basketball may have tipped off two nights ago — and the Cavaliers are already 0-2 — but that doesn’t mean we can’t trot out a preview of the season for you. Let’s start with the Eastern Conference predictions and then head to the wild, wild West.
1. Orlando Magic — Adding Vince Carter to replace Hedo [...]
It’s hard to believe that a team like the Angels, that prides itself on playing excellent small-ball and defence, would literally throw away the most important game of their season. How they muffed up two bunts in a row just slays me. First, Kendrick straight up drops the throw to first and then Scott Kazmir [...]
Oh, I’m sorry, were you excited to see Blake Griffin in action? Were you all excited about the possibility of seeing the Los Angeles Clippers, a forever cursed club, finally step up and vy for a playoff spot with a solid young core of talent? Well, guess what happened: The Curse hit.
With Griffin out for [...]
Two undefeated teams needed late fourth quarter comeback attempt drives to keep their tally in the loss column at zero. Only one of them could get it done and it wasn’t the supposed master of the rally who came through. Yes, Drew Brees lead his Saints back from a 24-3 deficit in the second quarter [...]
Now that the trade deadline has come and gone, we can all sit back and ask: “You can trade during the NFL season?” The real NFL is nothing like Madden, where you can simply trade for any player you want and plug him right into your lineup, without the consequences of the newcomer having to [...]
One slot on the final dance card is filled out and the other name could be scribbled I tonight. With a 10-4 victory over the visiting Dodgers last night, the Philadelphia Phillies booked their return to the World Series. The defending champs had no problem with Los Angeles, who just couldn’t get their pitching together [...]
It’s not everyday that you see an upset of this calibre. Hell, many people would probably think that Rubin Kazan is a person — perhaps some eastern european pop-star or Yugoslavian Idol winner. But no, today, they are a feisty soccer team that defeated reigning Champions League winners Barcelona. And they did it in Barcelona’s [...]
Apparently flipping coasts undid the Yankees bullpen yesterday in Anaheim. They’re usually solid cast for the back-end of games couldn’t hold it together and allowed the Angels to take the first game out west in the series. But if there was one thing I noticed when watching towards the end of the game, it was [...]
This sure was the weekend for a couple upper echelons of teams to show what they’re made of. New Orleans racked up 34 points by halftime against the No. 1 defence in the league and didn’t stop there. Minnesota jumped out to a quick start against Baltimore, surrendered the lead late and came back like [...]
