I’m all for democracy and letting people vote for their choices in most circumstances, but this is just getting ridiculous: Peyton Hillis will be on the cover of this year’s Madden game.
Now, I have nothing against Hillis as a person or a player – he gives hope to white runningbacks everywhere – but the Madden [...]
So, which of these playoff feats is more improbable: The Blackhawks’ drive back from being down 3-0 in their series with the Canucks, or the Grizzlies demolishing the top-seeded Spurs and forcing them to the edge of elimination with a 3-1 series lead? Both are quite stunning and shouldn’t be discounted at all, but in [...]
The NFL released its 2011 schedule on Tuesday, which is great if you’re planning a Guy’s Weekend or want to take a look at your favourite team’s path to the Super Bowl, but there’s one little thing that they might have left out: This lockout the league is currently embroiled in.
Was the schedule’s release supposed [...]
After a season marred by concussions to top stars and head hits occurring on a basis that could almost be considered “rampant,” the National Hockey League has apparently still not got the point.
How else can you explain the fact that Vancouver’s Raffi Torres escaped punishment from the league for a blindside hit to the head [...]
Hey, look at that: I managed to churn out a playoff preview with only one game underway as opposed to my NHL playoff preview where five games had already been completed. Do I get kudos for that? Sure, why not.
Following the NBA regular season that we just went through, it wouldn’t be unrealistic to expect [...]
Just because the playoffs kicked off Wednesday night, doesn’t mean we can’t post some predictions today, right? It’s not like there were any Game 1 upsets. So, without further ado, here we go.
Eastern Conference
Washington over New York Rangers in five.
New York just squeaking into the playoffs and the Capitals have reinvented themselves as a better [...]
What’s up with the lack of early coverage for the Masters? For some reason, it’s impossible to find any sort of TV coverage of the early tee times and of the front nine. No matter which day of the tournament it is, stations will only start broadcasting around 3 p.m. EST. Quite curious when you [...]
Yes, it’s that time of year again Torontonians. It’s the time of year where everybody gives up their allegiance and starts rooting for teams that don’t don the blue and white. It’s the time of year when all that hope has finally given out and one of the NHL’s “marquee” teams has bitten the dust [...]
Monday night’s NCAA championship game was two things and both of them weren’t good things. One, it was a terrible display of offensive basketball (and it wasn’t particularly tied to outstanding defence) and two, it was a serious test for sports writers and copy editors to come up with as many dog puns as they [...]
Working in the sports department, this is one of those weeks that you both hate to love and love to hate. Just think about how much is going in this span of seven days. Well, it’s kind of actually eight days, but who cares?
First of all, three of North America’s biggest sports are in progress. [...]
