Well, it took you long enough, Kansas City. Larry Johnson has been a washed up malcontent for two seasons and it took until now to cut him? If it were up to me, LJ would have been released after his lacklustre season last year when he served a suspension from the league. Why even keep [...]
SAN FRANCISCO -3 over Chicago
On a short week, homefield advantage is massive. With the Bears flying across the country after losing huge on Sunday, it’s hard to picture them coming out with a hop in their step against the tough Niners.

This season: 67-54-1

It felt like the final minutes of a playoff basketball game with two timeout-happy coaches at the switches. Here’s the play-by-play summary for the last [...]
The New York Yankees finished up the World Series last night, pounding the Philadelphia Phillies and got to celebrate their 27th World Championship in front of their home town fans. And, really, it’s about time these guys got it done. When you have a roster that has topped $200-million in salary the past few years [...]
Barcelona didn’t play like champions again against Russian side Rubin Kazan. For the second time in the group stage, the Russians came through and denied the marvelous Barcelona side three points in a key Champions League matchup.
It was the same story as with their first group stage match, a 2-1 Kazan win in Barcelona. The [...]
Having followed the Toronto Blue Jays in recent years, it came to no surprise what happened last night in Philadelphia; in fact, the result was almost expected. Game 5 of the World Series featured one of A.J. Burnett’s classic, inevitable blow ups. 2 innings, four hits and six earned runs into the game, he was [...]
