Big D disappointment

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

The big D in Dallas stood for disappointment after last night’s Game 6 against the cross-state Spurs. The Mavericks set a record by being the first team to lose a seven-game series to a seventh-seeded team. This bold defeat comes on the heels of also becoming the first No. 1 seed to lose to an [...]

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey, Picks

Since we have plenty of time to get to the Inter Milan vs. Bayern Munich Champions League final before it kicks off on May 22, it’s a good time to wrap up a stunning first round of NHL action.
It really goes to show how much I know (read: care) about the NHL, when I only [...]

A fan’s playoff dilemma

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

An interesting debate came up on the radio that I couldn’t help but muse about. It seems that some ice hockey fans have quite a conundrum about tonight’s game.
Should fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs cheer on the Montreal Canadiens or the Washington Capitals?
The simple answer would be that you shouldn’t cheer for either since [...]

With the NFL’s draft in our rear-view mirror and some ridiculous contracts soon to be doled out onto those coveted first-rounders, why not take a quick look at how some teams stand after that three-day marathon of picks.

Mocking the mock drafts

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

There’s a reason why they’re called mock drafts: NFL teams do a good job of making a mockery out of them during the actual event.
How else could you explain the weird sequence that came from picks number eight, nine and ten? After the top few picks went as expected (Bradford, Suh, McCoy, etc.) Oakland started [...]

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Today’s draft day in the NFL, so you know what that means: The easiest copout there is in the blogging world. Yes, it’s time for a mock draft.
1. St. Louis Rams – Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma.
They could have started printing Bradford’s Rams jersey the minute that the ink was dry on Marc Bulger’s release.

An open letter to D. McNabb

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Dear Donovan McNabb,
What are you thinking?
You were recently traded to an inferior division rival after spending many successful seasons with one of the best organizations in football. You were hung out to dry by your former organization because, while you were a terrific regular season quarterback, you couldn’t lead your team to win the big [...]

I think we knew that, Joakim

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Joakim Noah has gone and called ou Kevin Garnett, insisting that KG is a dirty player. That might have been the most obvious thing I’ve read today. Thanks, Joakim, but I think that everyone who has ever watched Garnett play knows that he’s as dirty as they come.
KG has gone about his recent years throwing [...]

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

The NHL playoffs might have started already, but we all know that the NBA playoffs are the ones that really matter. With some series starting on Saturday,
Eastern Conference
If you seriously think a well-rested LeBron James can’t dismantle a team that barely squeaked into the playoffs in four games, you might be high. Even if he [...]

Raptors choke it all away

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

It really is playoff season now, with the NHL dropping the puck for the opening games of some series – with a few nice upsets already – and the NBA closing out their regular season schedule with some playoff implications on the line.
One of those implications was who would get the right to be swept [...]
