Gregg Williams shouldn’t be banned for life

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

Let’s not be too quick to ban Gregg Williams for life from the NFL.
While it probably wasn’t a good idea to tell his charges to go out and hurt the 49ers while possibly knowingly being recorded, I still don’t think that he deserves to be kicked out the game forever.
Why? Because we have no idea [...]

Could Kentucky beat an NBDL team?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

For the last little while there has been a furor of debate about how Kentucky would possibly fare against the weakest teams in the NBA. I originally liked the idea considering how this is one of the strongest NCAA teams in history and will very likely take home the championship tonight.
But the fact remains that [...]

Predictions for a new MLB season

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Picks

Just in case you didn’t notice, the MLB regular season opened today. You might not have cared — unless you’re a fantasy MLB player or a Mariners or A’s fan — because the first pitch was around 6 a.m. this morning.
I could rant about starting the season in Japan while spring training is still going [...]

Can Kentucky be stopped?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

We’ve boiled down an astounding 68 NCAA basketball teams through a crazy – some would say mad – two weeks and now we’ve found four that are fit enough to make the final. While all have their merits, one team is a clearly above the rest: Kentucky.
Usually an offensive juggernaut – and they’re no slouches [...]

Peyton changes horses

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

So, Peyton Manning, one of the best quarterbacks of a generation, is now a Denver Bronco. So, now what?
First, it has to be discussed what he’s bringing to this team. Even the most optimistic estimations won’t have him playing at his peak of six years ago – that’s completely out of the question after undergoing [...]

It’s Tournament time!

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

With the first tipoff of the 63 that will settle who’s the best team in NCAA basketball set for 12:15 today, why not throw out a few predictions and a little bit of a breakdown of what we know, well,  just think we know.
OK, that first sentence has two technically incorrect facts: First, we’ve already [...]

Cowboys and Redskins fans unite!

by Dan Bilicki In: Football, Ice Hockey

In all sports, there is breaking the rules and then there is bending the rules. We’ve seen it happen before when teams do something that might be a bit questionable, but isn’t explicitly forbidden in the rule book. We’ve also seen teams just go way overboard and tape opponents’ sideline signals or install bounty programs. [...]

Looking into the Madness of March

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

It has taken me a while to sift through this year’s NCAA bracket and I’m still as confused as I was when I started to stare at it for an hour straight. In honesty, it has also been fairly easy to get sidetracked by the Redskins’ megatrade for RG3, Peyton’s free agent cross-country tour and [...]

Colts divorce Peyton Manning

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

It’s the end of the Peyton Manning era. And shockingly, it’s not even a shock.
If you had even mentioned in passing the possibility of the Indianapolis Colts cutting Manning two years ago, you would have been laughed off of the Internet. No, it’s a stark reality that with the uncertainty of his health, his age [...]

Adios Villas-Boas

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

After only eight months on the job, Roman Abramovich couldn’t take the growing pains anymore at Chelsea and sacked Andre Villas-Boas. That’s only 10 months after AVB led Porto to an undefeated season and claimed the Europa League crown.
Talk about “what have you done lately?”
This firing signifies a complete lack of patience by the Russian [...]
