Another great deadline day

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

For the first time in a while – for any North American sports even – we saw a crazy trade deadline go down and as a writer and a fan it’s hard not to be enthralled by it. After all, it was just a few seasons ago where we saw the biggest NBA trade deadline [...]

LeBron actually gets one right

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

LeBron James has finally got something right: The balance of power in the NBA has definitely swung to the East.
I’ve been one to rag on the dethroned King for the past while now (and with good reason, I mean the Decision? Come on) but saying that the East is now the powerhouse of the NBA [...]

An all-star weekend worth watching

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Just when you thought that mid-season exhibitions were turning terrible, the NBA’s showcase came along this year and may have revitalized the all-star game industry. It gave us excitement and intrigue on both nights of the event – and even a little bit on Friday night if you wanted to watch Scottie Pippen swat away [...]

Oh Lakers, where art thou?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

It’s not too bad to get blown out on the road by a contender like the Orlando Magic. Fans can justify a tough loss to the Charlotte Bobcats in their fourth game in five nights. But to go into Cleveland, home of the worst team in the league, that was recently on a record 26-game [...]

The Albert Pujols mess

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

It’s very tough to feel bad for Albert Pujols not receiving a contract extension before his deadline elapsed on Wednesday. After all, he did reportedly turn down a deal in the neighbourhood of $200 over eight seasons.
I just don’t know why players like Pujols and the Jays’ Miguel Batista put these arbitrary deadlines before the [...]

The long wait until football

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

It really all settles in now. This was the first weekend without football since last August and it may be the start of an even longer wait until we see the next kickoff. Yes, for the next while we’ll all be hearing about boring labour updates as opposed to free agent news, mini-camp updates, rumoured [...]

Barcelona are sellouts

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

One of the last bastions of purity in sports is falling. In an effort to increase their already monstrous flow of income, Barcelona FC has decided to finally put a sponsor’s name on the front of their jerseys. This will mark the first time in the club’s 112-year history that it has done so.
Wait a [...]

Big Ben is not a big game QB

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Football

Now that the dust has settled, the ice has melted and the parade has taken place, there is one thing that needs to be discussed about this past Super Bowl and the impact it should have on one man’s legacy. Just where exactly does Ben Roethlisberger sit historically as on the QB charts?
Heading into Super [...]

Sorry about the delay between posts, folks.
We had some administrative issues which has since been resolved. Now back to our regularly scheduled ramblings.

A great Super pick

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Picks

It may have taken two long, agonizing weeks and one long, agonizing Pro Bowl, but we’re finally here at the Super Bowl. Yes, quite possibly the last pro football game we’re watching for a long time – because CFL, UFL and when USC plays don’t count.
We have two of the best defensive teams in the [...]
