NFL week 6 picks

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

With the MLB Championship series starting tonight, why not bang out the week six NFL picks today? This week’s slate of games could not possibly be worse than week fives terrible matchups and that will go a long towards getting the sour taste of that 6-3 Cleveland-Buffalo game out of our collective mouths. In fact, [...]

A sad loss

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

In a crushing blow, no pun intended, to their hopes at next year’s World Cup, the United States will be without rising star forward Charlie Davies. Last night, Davies was involved in a single car wreck that killed another passenger and left him with two broken bones in his leg, among other injuries. After surgery [...]

Spectacular series

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

After the performances that all of the advancing teams put on in the first round of the playoffs, is there any question that these are the best teams in baseball? We’re talking about four teams that combined to lose one measly game in their best of five series.
It was fairly predictable that the Yankees would [...]

A poor, poor weekend of football

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

What an awful weekend for football. You could have seen it a mile away just looking at the schedule, but I never thought I would be as disinterested in a week’s matchup as I was this Sunday. It wasn’t just the NFL either; if you happened to catch some of the UFL’s Saturday night game [...]

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

Since I couldn’t post about last week’s action since I was off in Chicago watching the Bears crush the lowly Lions, here’s a few of my thoughts now that I’ve caught up with last weekend’s stories.
— There are only three bad thing about attending an NFL game: The prices of food, other games and information [...]

Banner day for diva WRs

by Dan Bilicki In: Fantasy, Football

To wide receivers had their wishes come true yesterday, and these wishes have been a long time coming too. Braylon Edwards finally forced the Browns’ hand and got them to trade him away while the 49ers were able to put ink to a contract with Michael Crabtree.
Edwards has wanted out of Cleveland since the off-season [...]

A great setup for the playoffs

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Picks

Just when you thought it couldn’t get more intense than having your entire 162-game season boil down to a single play-in game with a heated division rival, the game went into extra innings. Both the Twins and the Tigers were even able to score in the 10th to try to end it, but the intensity [...]

Revenge taken

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

Brett Favre may have said he wasn’t looking for revenge against the Green Bay Packers, but he sure did get it last night. Favre looked like the same QB that was leading those Packers to division titles over the Vikings a dozen or so years ago. But, I have one question that’s really bothering me [...]

NFL week 4 picks

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

Now is the time when we can really start judging teams on what we’ve seen. Some teams out there are already banged up injury-wise (Seattle, Pittsburgh). Some teams out there have already decided to ditch their pre-ordaned starting QBs (Cleveland, Tampa Bay). Some teams have even gone with three QBs so far (Carolina, Week 1). [...]

The puck drops here

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

That’s right folks, the National Hockey League is back already. Not even four whole months since their playoffs ended, regular season ice hockey action is almost upon us again. Couldn’t there be a bit more time between seasons, for the sake of the players and for the fans? How burned out are some of the [...]
