The NFL landscape got a shake again this weekend and in a season so rife with parity, how could you be surprised? Contenders across the board went down and some looked pretty flawed in doing so.
The Dallas Cowboys ripped through the supposed powerhouse Giants. The Giants showed about as much electricity as their stadium during [...]

I don’t care how exciting the end of last night’s Atlanta-Baltimore game was last night, the only time that NFL football should be played on a Thursday is Thanksgiving. In case you couldn’t tell last night, both the Ravens and Falcons were hardly at their bests.
Joe Flacco had an awful 30 yards passing at the [...]

The NHL has finally done something to get ahead of curve instead of lagging behind like this league has done with recent issues in the sports landscape (late to the party on steroids and salary caps). With the announcement that the NHL all-star teams will be selected by captains of two teams, instead of just [...]

Since the slate of lame Thursday night football games kick off tonight, here’s my pick that’s really for the birds. Get it? Ravens at Falcons? Nevermind.
The road team doesn’t usually fare so well on Thursday nights, but the Falcons had the tougher go of it Sunday against the Bucs. The Ravens should be a bit [...]

There’s something to be said for athletes playing through pain and illness, but we might have just witnessed something truly remarkable in terms of guts and endurance. Since when has there ever been a guy who has played through malaria? Well, that’s what Chelsea striker Didier Drogba did this past weekend and has just now [...]

The owner of the Dallas Cowboys did the inevitable, appropriate and humane thing yesterday and fired head coach Wade Phillips after Sunday night’s absolutely embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers.
It had become abundantly clear after the first few games of this season that the team was not listening to their leader and the guy [...]

This whole season is getting more and more ridiculous and embarrassing for the Dallas Cowboys by the day. Last night’s absolute beat down laid upon them by the Green Bay Packers was probably rock bottom, but then again, in a season of lows for this team, who knows how deeper they can spiral.
One thing is [...]

When was the last time that a guy went from being an all-pro to playing on three teams in the same season? Has this ever happened, or is Randy Moss in a league of his own – again. The guy has gone from New England to Minnesota to Tennessee and didn’t do much at either [...]

I am getting sick and tired of this guy. He’s supposed to be a superstar but he’s acting more like a superbaby. This guy is LeBron James.
Before last night’s game against Minnesota, Princess James was asked about Anthony Tolliver’s mocking of “The Decision,” to which James replied, “We play Minnesota twice,” and then walked away. [...]

San Francisco did it and they did it by beating the supposedly unbeatable. Yes, the Giants toppled Cliff Lee in the post-season – twice – and now are World Champions for the first time since moving out west more than 50 years ago.
How’d they do it? Typical for this MLB season, it was all about [...]
