Breaking down the National League

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

After looking at the younger, better American League on Wednesday, it’s time for the National League to get its due. At least San Francisco did well to help remove the Quadruple-A tarnish by winning it all last year, but overall, the talent in this league is still inferior.

American League breakdown

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Baseball season is nearly here and I’m sure you’ve been keeping up with Bill Lankhof’s season previews, covering every division and breaking down what teams will be up to. So, because Lanky already has the nuts and bolts down, I’ll try to break the coming season down quick hits style.

The chalk is rocked in the NCAA

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

The chalk has been rocked in the NCAA and that means that this coming weekend should be fairly anti-climactic for all you bracket followers out there. When the highest seed remaining is a No. 3, there’s little chance that you have more than two of your Final Four remaining.
Just look at President Obama’s bracket; he [...]

Did the NHL hit Cooke hard enough?

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

Many might think getting sick and watching TV all weekend would be the perfect storm for a blogger like myself, but really, you just don’t have the energy to rail off on somebody as stupid as Matt Cooke. And he really deserved it too – along with the upset-tacular March Madness games we saw.
While giving [...]

The #Winning March Madness picks

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

I might as well preface this post with the disclaimer that I usually lose NCAA pools, unless I’m facing people that are almost 100% incompetent, as opposed to the slightly lower percentage that my knowledge of U.S. college basketball sits at. So, take all of this with a grain of salt, or you could trust [...]

Divine Inter-vention

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

It almost seemed like, at times, somebody up above was toying with Bayern Munich on Tuesday. How else could you explain the polarity of its luck in the Champions League round of 16 matchup with Intern Milan?
It started off very off early with a Samuel Eto’o run that would probably be called offside 75% of [...]

Sorting out the Madness

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

After dutifully filling out my initial bracket, rethinking plenty of matchups, bouncing a few possible winners off the wall, reading up on everyone else’s opinions, I’ve finally formulated a few opinions about the biggest NCAA basketball tournament to ever take place. Yes, March is going to be madder than ever this year. Here are a [...]

It’s about time to look at head-hits, NHL

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

I don’t care if he says it wasn’t intentional, I don’t care how many times hits like those have happened before, there was no possible way that the NHL could have simply let Zdeno Chara walk away scot-free after his hit on Max Pacioretty.

Tiki Barber, are you serious?

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

It looks like former Giants great Tiki Barber is in a sad state of affairs. So bad that he’s actually going to try to come back to the NFL this season (if there is one, fingers crossed).
This was a guy who retired two seasons ago because he didn’t want to risk his livelihood to play [...]

For/Against BYU’s honour code

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

In case you haven’t heard by now, a promising kid by the name of Brandon Davies was kicked off of Brigham Young University’s basketball team because of sex. No, he didn’t hire a hooker or have a Charlie Sheen style hotel party that involved porn stars and a briefcase full of cocaine. He simply had [...]
