Is it just me, or was it actually nicer to watch one game at a time on Thursday than being inundated with updates constantly and flipping through channels constantly to keep track of your fantasy players? It was a simple joy to not be bombarded with highlights and cutaways while trying to get into the [...]
More on the Thanksgiving games later, but for now, RTP’s picks for this weekend.
The lines are straight from Vegas and the home teams are in CAPS.
HOUSTON +3.5 over Indianapolis
The Colts put a whopping 25 players on their injury report list this week and 13 of them were starters. If there ever was a week for [...]
Now, here’s the time when the Thursday night games should be starting, not two weeks ago like it actually happened. Playing on a Thursday puts the teams in a tremendous disadvantage. They have only three off days to prepare for a new opponent that they may not have seen for four years and they also [...]
That’s a lot of initials.
The baseball off-season couldn’t really be a more anti-climatic time for awards. Really, why wait until almost a month after the season has ended to hand out the year’ss honours? Couldn’t MLB hand out the four biggest awards: AL and NL Cy Youngs and AL and NL MVPs during the World [...]
It sure was one hell of a weekend for nail-biting games in the NFL. The Colts, Cowboys, Lions, Jaguars and Raiders all had to hold on while their leads were threatened in the final minutes of their games. Then there were two big overtime games which saw the Giants and Chiefs sweat out big victories. [...]
Are you surprised at how well Ricky Williams ran last night? I sure was. After losing Ronnie Brown for the season, it was very easy to write off the Dolphins, especially on a short week. This win might not be so big because it was just the Panthers that they beat, but if the Fins [...]
CAROLINA -3 over Miami
Did you notice how sloppy every aspect of last Thursday night’s game was? A 10-6 drudge fest with turnovers galore is no way for the NFL to showcase its product. So, here we are again, with another game with two teams that can only run the ball pretty much and love to [...]
Just when some beautiful football was getting started with the Champions League in full swing and the World Cup qualifiers nearly finished, an ugly scene happened during the France-Ireland playoffs; a match so big that the loser would not make the final, losing out on a ton of money and a worldwide audience next summer. [...]
If you know anything about the NBA and its players, it should have been fairly obvious right from the start of their love affair that Allen Iverson and the Memphis Grizzlies relationship would end poorly.
When rumours and stories started to circulate in the off-season about the future hall of famer potentially signing with the pathetic [...]
Say what you want about Brett Favre’s miracle toss to defeat the 49ers a few weeks back, last night’s New England-Indianapolis tilt was the game of the year – and it will be hard to top, too. The Colts came into the game banged up and they seemed like they wouldn’t be able to keep [...]
