The horror that is 18 games

by Dan Bilicki In: Fantasy, Football

Take a look around the NFL and just imagine that in two years, we could be looking at an 18-week schedule. While the common football fan would no doubt fall in love with the idea of more meaningful Sundays, could you imagine being a player and being forced to put your body on the line [...]

He may not be heading back to Boston, where he enjoyed the heyday of his career, but Manny Ramirez is headed to a Sox team. Reports are he’ll be joining the Chicago White Sox for the remainder of the season in a hired gun role, it’s just too bad that the Sox are on the [...]

The injury that stole Stras-mas

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

You have to feel bad for the Washington Nationals. The land a prized phenom of a pitcher, pay him some big dough, handle him with kid gloves, he electrifies the fan base and now he’s hurt.
Yes, it is “probable” that Stephen Strasburg is going to need Tommy John ligament replacement surgery. He reportedly has a [...]

Don’t trust the pre-season

by Dan Bilicki In: Fantasy, Football

Are you worried about a guy you want to draft in your fantasy league, but his team has looked like garbage so far? Don’t. I can’t state it any simpler. There’s just no reason to look at the pre-season as any sort of measure of how a team or player will do when the games [...]

Old man chides teenagers

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

I can just picture it right now: Chan Gailey probably sits on his front porch, sipping some beer and complaining to anyone that will listen about those blasted kids and their rap music. He probably yells at every person you will dare to cut across his grass and when the paper boy’s lob doesn’t quite [...]

Tiger’s back on the prowl

Last week, Minnesota Vikings receiver Percy Harvin was carried off the practice field after collapsing and taken to hospital. A migraine attack was at fault, something he has dealt with his whole life. He may have returned the next day, but is he really alright?
This sort of ailment, even if he has dealt with it [...]

NHL finally looks at rule changes

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

I honestly couldn’t be more excited by some of the possible rule changes the NHL are mulling over in Toronto this week. Quite frankly, it’s about time that some of these should be put into play and there’s even some I would have never considered.
The first one that is an absolute must is the idea [...]

This Lee’s no saviour

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Is Derrek Lee even going to help the Braves?
After landing the first baseman from the Cubs for three minor league pitchers, that was the question I was asking.
Lee’s best days are behind him and he’s hitting only .251 so far this season. Even though he has improved since the all-star break, that’s not exactly and [...]

What to do with Kaberle

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

Brian Burke’s window to deal the Leafs longest-tenured player, Tomas Kaberle, has come and gone. Well, sort of. It’s just now that Kaberle’s no-trade clause has kicked back in and he’ll have to approve his destination. But that leaves me with a question: Why would he reject a trade when his new team would likely [...]
