Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning probably won’t play again this year. At least we don’t think he will. Why would he? He’s got nerve problems in his neck and he’d just be rejoining a team that probably would have one or two wins at most. And that’s being generous. Well, long-time Colts beat writer Phillip [...]
One of the things we were most excited about this season was the Detroit Lions drafting Nick Fairley at No. 13-overall in the draft. There was talk at one point that he could be the first guy taken, but he ended up sliding to 13 for a variety of reasons. So, Detroit got him and [...]
Tyler Seguin has arguably been the Boston Bruins best player this season. However, ESPNBoston.com is reporting that his long-term health could be an issue. The site is told by league and team sources that Seguin has a congenital hip condition that makes him susceptible to hip injuries down the road. But, Seguin doesn’t necessarily agree [...]
Chicago Cubs fans must be thrilled about having a new team president that was the mastermind of two Boston Red Sox World Series titles. It’s going to be great! Wait ’til you see who you get now! Well, while Theo Epstein did some great things for the Red Sox, he hasn’t been stellar as of [...]
After rushing out to a quick division lead in the awfully weak NFC East, the Washington Redskins were looking like maybe Rex Grossman was right after all. But, the last two weeks haven’t gone exactly as planned. As it was, the Redskins were not loaded with talent on offense. Two weeks ago, the lost to [...]
Fantasy owners of Oakland Raiders’ stud RB Darren McFadden were delighted on Sunday after he left the game with a foot injury after doing absolutely nothing. However, that’s not truly the case if your team is so awful that you also have Michael Bush in your starting lineup. Hey, I got a lot of injuries, [...]
Pittsburgh Penguins super stud Evgeni Malkin has been out since October 13th due to lingering issues with his surgically repaired knee. He missed a lot of last year with a torn ACL. But, according to Penguins’ head coach Dan Bylsma, he could actually be a go for Saturday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils. [...]
If you drafted Antonio Gates in your NFL fantasy draft this season, you’re probably regretting it. Sure, you knew he had the foot issues when you took him, but he kept saying he would play through the pain so you decided it was fine. Well, it hasn’t been fine. He’s been sitting out for weeks [...]
File this under “WOW.” The Philadelphia Eagles tried to trade Ronnie Brown to the Detroit Lions this week for Jerome Harrison and a seventh-round pick. The trade was canceled and Brown was returned to the Eagles because Harrison failed a physical. This was odd to most because Harrison wasn’t on the Week 6 injury report. [...]
Detroit Lions RB Jahvid Best is dealing with a concussion and it’s not the first time. He had a nasty one at Cal that caused him to miss the final four games of that season, and it doesn’t seem like his concussion issues are going away. According to Mike Freeman of CBS Sports, people close [...]
When Jason Campbell went down with a broken collarbone on Sunday, everyone wondered if the Oakland Raiders would be calling David Garrard. Garrard’s agent even said that it was “highly possible” that Garrard would work out for the Black and Silver. Well, you can forget about that. According to Jay Glazer, Garrard has to undergo [...]
Philadelphia Phillies ace (one of them) Cole Hamels is coming off of his best season as a professional. He had a 2.79 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP to go with a 14-9 record. We don’t really care about W/L record for pitchers so you can throw that out. His other numbers are close to filthy. [...]
When we think of awful free agent signings in sports, a few come to mind. Barry Zito’s seven-year, $126 million deal with the San Francisco Giants usually comes up first. If something doesn’t change for Carl Crawford (the guy the owner didn’t want), he’s going to be on this list. But, maybe the worst is [...]
Kyle Orton is making $9 million this season from the Denver Broncos, but he’s played like he’s making $9/hr. So, in Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers, head coach John Fox decided it was time for a change and he put Tim Tebow in. Tebow got a few things going. Threw some awkward sidearm [...]
It’s easy to blame Cliff Lee for the Philadelphia Phillies meltdown in the ALDS because he was given a four-run lead that, if held, would have lead to a sweep. But, it’s not too difficult to blame the bats when Doc Halladay holds the St. Louis Cardinals to one run in Game 5 and they [...]
The Houston Texans got some good news on banged up QB Matt Schaub. He got knocked around a little bit on Sunday, but is considered day-to-day and he should be fine to play Week 6. The news on Mario Williams? Not nearly as good. Williams suffered a pectoral injury in Sunday’s game and it’s pretty [...]
The St. Louis Rams just can’t seem to catch a break. After missing the playoffs by one game last season, many thought they’d take the next step and become a hot young team. Sadly, it’s kind of what we heard about the Arizona Cardinals every year in the last decade. Always supposed to be up-and-coming, [...]
In Tuesday’s Game 3 win, The Philadelphia Phillies replaced Raul Ibanez with John Mayberry, Jr. The St. Louis Cardinals had lefthander Jaime Garcia throwing yesterday, so they decided to use Mayberry’s right-handed bat. But, with righty Edwin Jackson throwing on Wednesday for the Cardinals, the Phillies have but Ibanez back in the lineup. In the [...]
After the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Houston Texans on Sunday, their quarterback was in a walking boot. Nothing like losing a winnable game and seeing your Super Bowl-winning QB banged up as well. Well, there is some good news for Steelers fans. It’s not broken. Sources tell Chris Mortensen of ESPN that an MRI [...]
Philadelphia Phillies fans are scrambling to think of a way for their team to lost to the St. Louis Cardinal in this opening NLDS series. Does Cliff or Doc take a dump on the mound? Do the bats go silent? What could possibly happen for the Phils to lose this series? Well, this isn’t about [...]
Usually we don’t bother you with NHL minutiae. But, it’s Saturday and we’re sitting here at our computer listening to Jason Ashworth on ESPN 97.5 FM crap on Kyle Lohse, and we get very upset and like to post about NHL injuries when he does this. So here goes. Pavel Datsyuk is flat-out one of [...]
The Houston Texans have had a spotlight on their running back situation since Arian Foster first felt a tweak in his hamstring. Derrick Ward was listed behind him, but he’s been hurt too. Behind him was the early-season fantasy darling Ben Tate, who was a second-round pick last year who missed all season with an [...]
I know, you were all excited when you got Tennessee Titans’ WR Kenny Britt in the 7th round of your fantasy draft. He’s an excellent receiver that people didn’t want to consider because he’s kind of an a-hole off the field. Well, your jubilation for your fantasy football team can end. Jim Wyatt of the [...]
After the Philadelphia Eagles ugly loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, the team had more worries than just the division loss and 1-2 record. Specifically, they were dealing with Michael Vick’s broken hand and Jeremy Maclin’s bum hamstring. But, maybe things aren’t so bad after all. Today, the team got great news on [...]
If any news could take the wind out of the sails of Phillies fans, it’s this. They won’t care that they’ve played like total crap this past week despite locking up the NL East and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs if their boy Hunter Pence is banged up. And he is. According to Jim Salisbury [...]
