Every year ESPN: The Magazine comes out with on the most interesting lists in sports – the highest-paid players list. They go into every athlete’s salary in every major sport – and some obscure sports – and tell us who made the most money just for competing. Sports Illustrated also does a similar annual list, [...]
One of the sticking points of the new NFL collective bargaining agreement — signed last summer, after the 2011 NFL draft — was that a rookie salary cap system was implemented. A side effect of that deal was quite noticeable at Thursday night’s draft: There were a ton of trades!
Out of the top ten selections, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
You might not believe it, but somehow the unlikely story of Jeremy Lin just keeps getting better. After hitting the game-winning three-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining in Toronto on Tuesday night, Lin had a career-high 13 assists against the Kings back in New York on Wednesday.
Sadly, his streak of scoring at least 20 points in [...]
I’m sure everybody is Super Bowled out by now after two weeks of setup stories, six hours of pregame Sunday, three quarters of blah and one hell of a finish last night, but guess what: I’m writing about my thoughts on the Super Bowl today.
-What in the hell was Tom Brady thinking on that safety? [...]
It’s the finale of the football season. It’s the biggest game in the world – well, maybe just North America, but you get the point. It’s the Super Bowl.
This year’s game is a rematch of a classic from just four years ago, when – I’m sure you’ve heard by now – the New York Giants [...]
For something that was supposed to be a showcase of the league’s talent, what NHL all-star game viewers got on Sunday was a load of half-assed crap.
I understand that players are not going to go out in an exhibition game with the same intensity as a game against a division rival, but this was pathetic.
Every [...]
