It’s so shocking I’ve needed a few days to get over it: Cliff Lee is back with the Phillies. Yes, Philadelphia now has four aces.
The Ex-Rangers southpaw spurned advances by Texas and the Yankees to return to the city of brotherly love, where he went to the World Series two seasons ago.
Apparently money and extra [...]

Not to gush about the Patriots for the second week in a row, but I simply don’t understand how one team can play so well in such extreme wintery conditions like they did against the Bears in Chicago on Sunday. It seems like even in the harsh elements on the road, they play better than [...]

This Sunday could be the end of an era. We could see something that hasn’t happened in 18 years. Yes, Brett Favre may be sitting one out. This would be revolutionary, after all Favre has started 297 regular season games in a row — plus 24 playoff starts.
And now, because of his shoulder injury suffered [...]

Not even a week after trading away four prospects for slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and reportedly agreeing with him on a contract extension that will give him about $20 million per season, the Red Sox were at it again and splashed some big money at a big free agent.
The Boston Red Sox have reportedly [...]

Can the Colts seriously lose four games in a row? Can Peyton Manning really be this bad? He has thrown as many touchdowns to the opposing team as he has to his teammates in the past two weeks and has 11 INTs overall.
The Titans have been pretty terrible themselves too recently. Chris Johnson isn’t getting [...]

This, right now, is the always the most interesting time of baseball’s off-season. Why? Because we have every team gathering at a nice hotel in a nice climate where they can discuss, amongst themselves or with agents, players on their teams and on their wishlists. Granted, there’s always a lot more talk than actual action, [...]

So, after Monday night’s severe beat down and after Sunday night’s uber-close game, I think that we’ve settled who the best team in the NFL is, undisputedly. Yes, the New England Patriots are clearly the cream of the crop and the Jets sure looked like pretenders over the contender we previously thought they’d be. When [...]

With the announcement of Qatar being named the host of the 2022 World Cup, the general consensus has been: Are you serious? And, I have to say, I completely agree. FIFA blew this decision and they blew it bad. While it might look good to give the tournament to an Arab nation for the first [...]

No commentary today except for the fact that Matt Schaub might be one of the most overrated QBs in the league. Quite simply, he’s not a leader, he’s a fantasy player. He is definitely a guy who you would much rather have starting for your fantasy team than your actual team. Numbers can only get [...]

I’m not fooled by the Texans shut out of the suddenly woeful Titans, or the supposed dessent in the Eagles camp after a loss on the road to the surprisingly tough Bears – who had a week and a half to prepare for the game. The only thing that troubles me is the Eagles secondary [...]
