Kadri, Kadri, Kadri. All you could possibly read about this Leafs pre-season pertained to former first-round pick Nazem Kadri.
Sure, he was the team’s most recent highly-touted prospect, but from the amount of coverage he has been getting, you would think that he’s a legend on his way to Toronto… err, the Hall of Fame.
Should he [...]

Well NBA training camp have opened and the Carmelo Anthony is still a member of the Denver Nuggets. I wouldn’t bet on that situation lasting too long though. As late as this past weekend, he was set to join the Nets in a proposed four-team trade that would have brought rookie Derek Favors and Andrei [...]

Remember those two struggling NFC supposed-to-be-contenders that we talked about last week? Well they both finally won their first games of the season. One looked much more legit than the other though, because they were able to dismantle a darling team on their home turf.
Yes, I’m talking about God’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys – why [...]

It seems that coaches are a lot quicker to grab the hook these days than they have ever been before. A guy named Troy Aikman lead his team to a 1-15 season his first go about. He went on to lead the Cowboys to several Super Bowl titles and is now in the Hall of [...]

It’s that time of the year when you really realize that baseball season is coming to an end. After some of the dreary dog days of August and an early trade deadline, MLB kind of sinks into the background when the NFL really fires up. Well now, the best time of the year for baseball [...]

Sure, it’s only the first game of pre-season, but that won’t stop fans from getting fired up about ice hockey again. While some think the summer was too long, I don’t think it was nearly long enough. Was there even enough time for every Chicago Blackhawk to get a turn with the Cup since they [...]

Two supposed contenders in the NFC have gotten off to some pretty rough starts. Both the Vikings and Cowboys are now 0-2 and have lost their games without really showing too much potential to be great.
Dallas simply can’t block for Tony Romo or make holes for Marion Barber and Felix Jones to run through. It’s [...]

So you say that seven out of the 12 playoff lost in Week 1? I saw that’s a misleading statistic. After all, some of those teams HAD to lose, right? There were four matchups that featured two playoff teams and it’s not like we see ties in the NFL more than once a decade or [...]

So Reggie Bush is forfeiting his Heisman Trophy. My take: It’s a noble but unnecessary move. I would keep it. Since when does the NCAA have any say over an award that is handed out separately of them? In case you forgot, or didn’t know, the Heisman Trophy is handed out to the best player [...]

In the two games last night, we saw one QB throw for 68 yards and another for 74 yards. The first won, the second lost. The Monday Night Football doubleheader really couldn’t have featured more opposite games. One was a hard-hitting defensive battle while the other was more about the miscues than anything.
It seemed like [...]
