So now that the Grey Cup has come and gone three days ago, can you name two players on the Grey Cup champion B.C. Lions defence? How about a single offensive lineman from either the Lions or the Winnipeg Blue Bombers? Probably not, right? That’s because you likely don’t care about [...]

After a day of great football, I have one complaint: Where were the throwback jerseys? The Thanksgiving day games have traditionally given us a chance to watch teams go out there in old-school garb. That wasn’t the case this season as only the Cowboys came out in their blue swank-looking throwbacks. The Ravens played in [...]

While our friends south of the border get to chow down on some delicious deep-fried turkey and stuffing, most of us Canadians are stuck working. Well, except for me because it’s my usual day off. Don’t consider me too lucky though, getting to stay home, watch 10 hours of quality football and having a couple [...]

Thanks to Major League Baseball’s vague interpretation of their highest individual award, a guy who played in just 21% of his teams was somehow deemed the most valuable in the league.
Let’s just get this straight to begin with. Justin Verlander is a great player and was the best pitcher in the American [...]

For the first time this season, the Indianapolis Colts have absolutely no chance at losing this week. Of course, they have zero chance at winning either because they’re on a bye. That insures that their two-game lead in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes will stay intact. I can just picture the Colts [...]

DENVER +5.5 over NY Jets
The Jets have to fly across the country and play on three days of rest after playing a Sunday night game. They also have a very truncated period of time to try to analyze Denver’s funky new running game that seems like something out of the 1940s. Plus, they just got [...]

The NBA and its players really messed this one up. Because everybody waited until the last minute to start serious negotiations, the 2011-12 season is about 90% not going to happen.
There are a lot of questions that should be asked, so why not throw them out here and then not expect a reply from the [...]

Everybody loves NFL football. It’s a proven fact. Look at how many people cared about the NFL lockout when they weren’t even missing games this summer compared to how few people actually care about the NBA and their silly negotiations to save its season right now.
But with the NFL beginning its slate of Thursday night [...]

According to Profootball talk, word around the league is that the Titans are considering releasing Chris Johnson after the season. He has played terribly since signing his new deal, but that seems a bit harsh.
His contract does have something like $30-million guaranteed, so why let the guy walk away with that huge amount of money [...]
