The Dallas Cowboys have three pretty lethal wide receivers in Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and now Laurent Robinson (who they target the hell out of). The Philadelphia Eagles have three excellent cornerbacks (supposedly) in Nnamdi Asomugha, Asante Samuel and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Should be a great matchup, right? Not exactly. The Eagles have ruled out Samuel, [...]
The New Jersey Nets are off to another rip-roaring season, and the season hasn’t even started yet! Not only are they still the Nets, but they just lost their starting center for the foreseeable future. According to Colin Stephenson of the Newark Star-Ledger, Brook Lopez has a stress fracture in his foot. “Brook Lopez has [...]
A league source tells ESPNthat Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden has been visiting and consulting with some specialist and while he definitely won’t play this week against Kansas City, there is a chance he could return to action in Week 17 against the San Diego Chargers. McFadden hasn’t played since the end of October after [...]
This is just more bad news for the Los Angeles Lakers. Their trade for Chris Paul was vetoed by the commissioner. Then they shipped Lamar Odom out of town and that irritated Kobe Bryant. Then Kobe’s wife filed for divorce (did David Stern step in to block that too?), creating further turmoil for the megastar. [...]
The Denver Broncos came out strong on Sunday against the New England Patriots and even had a lead for a little bit. It didn’t last all that long, however, as Tom Brady decided to show Tim Tebow how real quarterbacks play. A bigger concern for the Broncos was that Willis McGahee pulled up lame with [...]
Do you remember Mason Raymond of the Vancouver Canucks? If you’re a Canucks fan you surely do. You may also know him as the guy who got folded like a birthday card along the boards in the Stanley Cup Finals last year against the Boston Bruins. Photo Caption: Yeah, that guy. Raymond suffered a pretty [...]
For all of you who have ridden Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte to many fantasy wins this season, you won’t be happy. Nope, heading into your playoffs, the last thing you need is for Forte to get hurt. And that’s what has happened. Forte got banged on the knee by Kansas City Chiefs LB Derrick [...]
You thought Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was mum on injuries? He might have nothing on the Philadelphia Flyers. We kept hearing how defensman Chris Pronger has been out with some mysterious illness. Now? They’re telling us that he will miss four weeks after undergoing knee surgery to clean out some loose bodies. So, was [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles 2011 season just keeps getting better! After a red-hot 4-6 start and their quarterback suffering broken ribs, they get even better news regarding their Dream Team. According to Reuben Frank, Nnamdi Asomugha was carted off the practice field today with an apparent knee injury. “Nnamdi knee injury at practice. Has been carted [...]
Well, that was quick. We mentioned before that the Buffalo Bills had claimed Tashard “about one yard per carry” Choice off of waivers today. And when Fred Jackson was ruled out for this week rather quickly, we knew that he was probably facing a lengthy amount of time with his injury. Well, “lengthy amount of [...]
Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers skate with the mighty and powerful New York Islanders. And they’ll be getting some much needed help as they try to slay the behemoth. Coming back to the lineup are winger Jaromir Jagr (groin) and defensman Braydon Coburn (bruised kidney). “I’m glad I’m back, that’s the important thing,” Jagr said. [...]
Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick busted two ribs in Sunday’s awesome loss to the mighty Arizona Cardinals. Andy Reid says it happened on the second play of the game, but no one is buying that and there is a cloud of mystery around the whole situation. Vick hasn’t been practicing and Vince Young has been [...]
If you, I don’t know, say, drafted Oakland Raiders Darren McFadden in multiple fantasy football leagues this season, you’re likely pretty irritated. Not irritated that McFadden is hurt yet again and has missed several weeks, but upset with yourself for actually thinking that he’d get through the entire year without getting hurt. Well, he is [...]
Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub injured himself in Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a second quarter quarterback sneak. He busted his foot pretty good, but managed to stay in the game. Head coach Gary Kubiak said that it’s a “significant” injury that will keep him out even after the team’s bye next [...]
In 2009, Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels decided to make Georgia RB Knowshon Moreno the 12th-overall pick in the NFL draft. So far, he’s performed anything like a first-round pick. The new coaching staff pretty much decided that he was a situational third-down back because his between-the-tackles running has left a lot to be [...]
It looks like the Anaheim Ducks will be without the services of defensman Lubomir Visnovsky for quite a while. And when we say “quite a while,” we mean about four weeks. According to beat writer Eric Stephens from the Orange County Register, Visnovsky busted his finger blocking a shot in Friday night’s win against the [...]
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. [...]
