Go figure that during the Week that the NFL cracks down on helmet-to-helmet hits and concussions, two of the league’s premier QBs go down with unrelated injuries. One suffered multiple fractures to his ankle, the other broke his clavicle. And if you didn’t know that I was talking about Brett Favre and Tony Romo, respectively, [...]

The NBA season has officially tipped off and what kind of blog would this be if we didn’t run some sort of predictions and picks post? Not a very good one, I’ll tell you that much.
In the Association this season, more so than I can remember in any league in recent memory, there are so [...]

The World Series starts tonight and if there was only two things I could say about that, they would be: 1) This should be a great matchup and 2) It’s about time.
Seriously, does Major League Baseball not realize that Game 4 will take place on Halloween, almost ensuring that baseball will be played into November [...]

We’re now seven weeks into the NFL season and while most people care about who is at the top of the league, I’d rather discuss who is at the bottom.
There’s the Carolina Panthers, who finally won their first game of the season. There’s the San Francisco 49ers, which lost that game to Carolina and are [...]

I used to believe that defensive players were some of the smartest on the field, but after this week, I’m not so sure.
First, just think about the mental dexterity required on both sides of the ball. The QB may be the most psychological of all players, but everybody else is essentially executing a designed play. [...]

So, that supposed rematch of last year’s World Series is about this close to not happening. Apparently the Rangers and Giants didn’t get that memo. After last night’s ninth-inning comeback, the Giants have pushed the Phillies to the brink and now hold 3-1 series lead with Game 5 going tonight in San Francisco.
It’s not like [...]

Two hits, 13 strikeouts. That’s what the Yankees could come up with against Cliff Lee last night in the Bronx. Looking back towards the swirling rumours of New York trying to land the lefty ace, don’t you think now they’re really regretting throwing in a little extra “oomph” into their package?
This is the second post-season [...]

Wade Phillips, Norv Turner, it’s time to be put out to the pasture. These are clearly two coaches who need to be relieved of their duties by their teams. The Cowboys and Chargers, respectively, should not be sitting at the bottom of their divisions. These are two squads that are talented enough to have been [...]

It’s Week 6 in the NFL and we’ve already seen a ton of starting QBs get injured. Look around the league and we’ve seen Jay Cutler, and Kevin Kolb and now Aaron Rodgers be hit with concussions. We’ve also seen Mike Vick, Matt Stafford and two Browns QBs miss some time – and that’s just [...]

Major League Baseball, you’ve gotten yourself into a very close two-horse race for being the worst-run league in all of pro sports with the National Hockey League.
Want some back story about that comment? All that you have to do is check the schedule for the League Championship Series.
You would figure that after having the Braves-Giants [...]
