Well, you couldn’t expect David Stern to do any less than suspend both Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton for the rest of the season. Not after they both were charged for the roles in the worst locker room joke ever played in the NBA. Really, for what they did, they both deserved to be banned [...]
It looks like starting next season, people in Ontario could actually be allowed to bet on professional basketball games — legally, that is. That’s right, next fall on Pro Line tickets across the province, anybody over the age of 18 can plunk down a few bucks to bet on some pro round-ball. Why couldn’t they [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, the Pro Bowl is next week — in between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl — for the first time ever. This is causing some roster problems. First of all, you can’t play in the game if you’re playing in the Super Bowl, so that eliminates, by default, [...]
The Super Bowl has a tough act to follow and no, I’m not talking about next week’s Pro Bowl. The Saints’ stunning overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings could go down as one of the most memorable conference championships ever. It had everything you could want from a classic game: Great performances on the offences [...]
Some would say that this is the weekend where you should be making a pilgrimage to see your favourite football team play in the post-season. That’s right, the conference championship game, not the Super Bowl. Why should it be this weekend and not two weeks from now, in a nice and sunny locale that rotates [...]
That’s right folks; it was a moment so incredible that it gets its’ own headline: A good idea from Shaq. Last night, after becoming the fifth player in NBA history to score 28,000 career points, Shaquille O’Neal came up with an idea that would generate a lot of fan interest, global interest and even raise [...]
This is going to be one heck of a Slam Dunk Competition this coming NBA All-Star weekend. And I mean that in the worst kind of way. A four-way competition between Gerald Wallace, Shannon Brown, Nate Robinson and either DeMar DeRozan or Eric Gordon isn’t going to get too many people excited. Where are all [...]
Perhaps I should have taken my own advice about the favourites winning in Week 2 of the NFL Playoffs. Considering that since the NFL adopted this bye week system for the top-2 seeds, the teams with that coveted week off have won about three out of every four games. What happened this weekend? Three out [...]
Why do they even bother calling this week’s slate of games “the divisional round?” It’s not like any of these teams represent the same divisions or anything like that. It probably comes from the same reason that the next round is called the conference championships, but at least that title still makes sense. Can’t we [...]
With No.1 overall pick Blake Griffin undergoing season-ending surgery, what more evidence do you really need that the Los Angeles Clippers are a cursed franchise? Just when they were lucky enough to land the top pick a can’t-miss prospect, he goes down with a knee injury in the pre-season. And since it was a stress [...]
