Like any year in sports, a lot has happened in 2010. Since everybody else has chimed in with their two cents about what they liked and what mattered most, why not cop out for once — OK, maybe more than once — and throw down a list of my own favourite moments of the year.
Now, [...]

Depending on how you look at it, this is either the toughest week to pick games or the easiest. With so many meaningless tilts and a few playoff-like showdowns, you really have to pick your spots.
What you have to do is, duh, look at who has something to play for – specifically, who has something [...]

Note to ESPN.com: Just because the NFL announced that Brett Favre will be fined for failing to cooperate in the whole mess with Jets hottie Jenn Sterger, it doesn’t deserve to be plaster on your front page with the red “BREAKING NEWS” banner.
Does anybody really care about this situation, or anything to do with Favre [...]

Really? A little winter weather kept one of the supposedly manliest leagues from playing a game on Sunday night? I don’t care how many inches of snow there was forecasted, the Eagles and the Vikings should have taken the field on Sunday night, even if there were no fans that were loyal enough to brave [...]

Have you ever had to work on Christmas? I have, and while the overtime is amazing and complimentary dinner is nice here at the Sun, it’s a far cry from being at home with loved ones eating turkey and telling stories of the past year.
So, if the common person doesn’t like working on the holiday, [...]

So, we get a true Super Bowl contender facing a team that has all but clinched the No. 1 draft pick next spring. There’s no question that the Steelers will win this game, but can it cover a line of more than 2 TDs?
That’s a lot of points, obviously, but the Panthers are truly terrible. [...]

I have to take serious exception to the Rogers Sportsnet poll that they are running to decide the Canadian athlete of the year. In case you haven’t seen it, here is a link.

Now, I have no problem with Sidney Crosby making the finals. He scored the gold medal winning goal at [...]

Why didn’t he just kick it out of bounds? That has to be the most common refrain from Giants fans today after punter Chris Dodge let DeSean Jackson return a punt for a touchdown to seal the Eagles incredible fourth-quarter comeback on Sunday.
Of course, the other common question that will be asked is how could [...]

Sal Alosi has not only been suspended for the rest of the season for tripping a Dolphins special teamer, he has now been banned indefinitely by the New York Jets for ordering that players line up on the sidelines during punts.
Are you serious Jets management? There was nothing illegal about lining guys up as long [...]

With Phil Rivers’ record in December and the Niners are rolling out Alex Smith, it’s hard to take San Fran seriously. Rivers has gotten it done all season long, no matter who he has been throwing to and the Chargers defence is at the top of the league.
A real question for the Chargers right now [...]
