Not sure that this is a shock really. There was a good portion of the season spent wondering whether or not the Indianapolis Colts would be joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only two teams to lose all 16 games. But, without Peyton Manning, was head coach Jim Caldwell really culpable? The Colts think [...]
Green Bay Packers fans may or may not have noticed that their team lost this weekend to the New York Giants. Actually, it was more of a stomping, where the Giants overcame two horrific calls to still soundly beat the Pack. You know who definitely noticed? This Packers fan right here in this video. I’m [...]
Normally, it’s not a big deal for the Philadelphia 76ers to hear that Spencer Hawes is dealing with some sort of injury. He’s been a marginal player in the past so who really cares? But, this year has been different. Hawes has been playing very well at center for the 10-3 Sixers and because of [...]
Maybe this really isn’t a very big deal, but when you have other off-field issues, you lose the benefit of the doubt. And Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant doesn’t need to be in these situations because if just makes him look bad. WFAA in Dallas is reporting that Bryant was detained by police over the [...]
Last night there were a series of trade rumors that cropped up involving the Philadelphia Flyers’ James van Riemsdyk. With Chris Pronger out for the season and the defense not exactly keeping their goalies clean, the Flyers could use some help in the back. It was floated that GM Paul Holmgren would be speaking with [...]
The New York Yankees have been a bit quiet this offseason. That is, until now. It seems to have started yesterday, and now the news just keeps on coming. It was reported on Friday that the Yankees had agreed to a trade with the Seattle Mariners. They would be sending catcher Jesus Montero and right [...]
There have been a lot of hot stove rumors about starting pitchers in the last few months, but not a ton of action. That’s probably because starters such as Roy Oswalt, Edwin Jackson and Hiroki Kuroda have been way too high. But, ESPN‘s Buster Olney says that’s changing. We’re roughly a month away from pitchers [...]
If you’re like us, you have been sitting on the edge of your set as Jeff Fisher made his huge decision of which football team to coach. We can’t tell you how much sleep we’ve lost over the last week or so just wanting the indecision to end. Ok, that’s a huge lie. We really [...]
I’m sure the local Philadelphia FOX affiliate didn’t appreciate the mayor’s sudden profanity slip, but the viewers did. Philadelphia is like a lot of cities in the sense it is filled with some dumb people doing dumb stuff. And Michael Nutter, who has probably had about enough of this crap, was asked about a recent [...]
People in Philadelphia knew that there were going to be some fairly serious changes to their Flyers team this past offseason. Sure, it was shocking that they traded both Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, but you knew one was going to be moved and it was most likely the latter. The Flyers had grown tired [...]
One of the guys that may have benefited the most from USC’s Matt Barkley’s decision to stay another year was Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill. As of five minutes before he injured his foot, he was rated by many as the third-best QB in this year’s NFL Draft behind Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. [...]
In the first two years of the Mark Sanchez/Rex Ryan regime in New York, the Jets made it all the way to the AFC Championship game. No matter how it happened nor how ugly it may have been, they got within a sniff of the Super Bowl in their first two tries. Tough to argue [...]
There are a lot of upset people in the Louisiana area after last night’s complete shellacking by Alabama against the LSU Tigers. The final score was 21-0, but the game did not seem that close. LSU didn’t cross the 50-yard line until the fourth quarter and ended up with just five first downs. And LSU [...]
The Indianapolis Colts knew they were screwed when Peyton Manning continued to have issues with his neck. They just really didn’t know how screwed. If they did, then the Polians would still have their jobs. So, Peyton was out all year and one of the early-season attempts at a band-aid was bringing in gray beard [...]
When the Oakland Raiders hired Reggie McKenzie as their new general manager, we knew that changes could be coming. Head coach Hue Jackson was not his guy, and there was the possibility that he could be tossed (especially the way he was running his mouth the last few weeks). Well, according to Adam Schefter, McKenzie [...]
The St. Louis Rams fired head coach Steve Spagnuolo last week after several terrible seasons. And even before they let him go, there was speculation that he could return to the Philadelphia Eagles – where he coached the linebackers before heading to the New York Giants to be their defensive coordinator – to replace Juan [...]
The Detroit Lions made the playoffs this season despite not having much of a running game all season. The biggest reason for that was because Jahvid Best was dealing with concussions…again. He’s not had three concussions in his last three football seasons dating back to Cal. That’s not a good thing and these concussions were [...]
You may remember back in 2006 when Jim Mora Sr., former head coach of the New Orleans Saints, went on the radio to talk about Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick. His son Jim Mora Jr., was the head coach at the time and there were issues then surrounding Vick that didn’t involve one dog biting [...]
Jaromir Jagr has flat-out been one of the best players on the Philadelphia Flyers this season. He’s got 12 goals and 31 points in 33 games and has been absolute dynamite with Claude Giroux. So, when he gingerly walked off the ice during the Winter Classic, Flyers fans weren’t thrilled. He’ll be 40-years old in [...]
We all know how unhappy Philadelphia Eagles CB Asante Samuel has been this year. The team went out and traded for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (which didn’t specifically piss him off) and then signed big-ticket free agent Nnamdi Asomugha (that pissed him off). Then there were all the rumors in training camp – and later in the [...]
This season, the Chicago Cubs believed that they had found their shortstop of the future in Starlin Castro. And maybe they have. A 21-year old kid who hit .307 for the Cubbies while missing only two games, Castro has tons of upside. But, maybe he has downside too. He’s being accused of sexually assaulting a [...]
What I learned from watching this video: Connell High School’s Cole Vanderbilt is a total douchebag. This high school basketball player became an overnight “sensation” when a spectator from the opposing team decided to take video of a game versus Highland High. Michael Christensen shot the video to show parents at Highland that the league [...]
One of the big reasons that I can’t stand Andre Iguodala is the fact that he plays so much. He’s being paid way too much and the Philadelphia 76ers think he’s an important part of their team. He’s not, he ruins everything. But, there is another guy I want the hell off my basketball team [...]
Not sure to what extent I believe this, but I’m going to pass it along. Anthony Gargano of 94 WIP in Philadelphia, says that radio host Mike Francessa is saying that Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie called San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos and told him that he won’t have access to Andy Reid. Basically, [...]
When you go 10-6 one year with a promising young quarterback and then follow that up with a season where said young quarterback regresses big time and you finish the year with 10 straight losses, something has to change. And something did change for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they have fired head coach Raheem [...]
