I don’t know for sure whether or not this move will sting the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it should. The Denver Broncos have traded Tim Tebow and a seventh-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks. Sure, there will be plenty of time to pontificate about what the Jets will [...]
Almost as elusive for the Chicago Bears as the franchise QB (depending on what you think of Jay Cutler), has been that elite wide receiver. They kind of thought they were getting that with Roy Williams but we know how that turned out. So, they are going to take a shot with another attitudinal guy [...]
This is huge. According to Jay Glazer of Foxsports.com, the Washington Redskins have answered one of the biggest questions heading into this year’s NFL Draft: Who will trade up with the St. Louis Rams at No. 2 to grab Robert Griffin III? That’s right, according to Glazer, the Redskins and Rams have a deal in [...]
After a great start to the 2011-12 season, the Philadelphia Flyers have fizzled as of late. Injuries have taken a toll and their poor defense has done nothing to hide their erratic (at best) goaltending. But they recently traded for defensman Niklas Grossman and apparently they don’t think that solved the problem. They just sent [...]
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 [...]
Is it physically impossible for the Oakland A’s to keep any good players? Every time you turn around, they are shipping off proven talent for prospects. And they just did it again. The A’s have sent closer Andrew Bailey and OF Ryan Sweeney to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for RHP Raul Alcantara, 3B [...]
Remember when we told you about 20 minutes ago that the Boston Red Sox were trying to trade for Oakland A’s pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Andrew Bailey? Well…we ummm…see it wasn’t our report, we were just running with someone else’s crap. Anyway, my point is that you can ignore that talk. There was too much [...]
Perhaps the biggest offseason priority for the San Francisco Giants (besides finding out a way to rid themselves of Barry Zito’s awful pitching and huge contract) was to improve their lineup. Their pitching has always been stellar, but they have about two guys in the lineup that can hit a curve ball and one was [...]
You may have heard that the Denver Broncos put WR Brandon Lloyd on the trading block recently. Several teams popped up as being interested in his services, including the New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans and St. Louis Rams. According to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, it looks like the Rams will be the winners. [...]
In 2009, the Seattle Seahawks made LB Aaron Curry the No. 4-overall pick in the NFL Draft. In 2011, they are still waiting for him to do something. Anything. Apparently, they don’t want to wait any longer, because they have shipped him to the Oakland Raiders, according to FOX’s Jay Glazer. “Sources on Raiders & [...]
The Baltimore Ravens’ offense didn’t look so hot Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. After losing Todd Heap and Derrick Mason, Anquan Boldin is their only real outside threat in the passing game. Rookie Torrey Smith didn’t look ready to be an NFL starter, as Nnamdi Asomugha had his way with him in coverage. The [...]
Free agency is not over. There are still several players available that can come in and help the Philadelphia Eagles. However, as I sit here on Friday morning, I can’t help but feel the Eagles have misplayed their hand. In poker, you can slow play pocket kings through the entire hand and probably come out [...]
Man, there is a ton of NFL activity this week. Tough to keep up. We all know that Mike Martz can’t stand pass-catching TE’s, and now the Chicago Bears have proven it. According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears have sent Greg Olsen to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for an autographed [...]
The New England Patriots aren’t afraid to make trades. That much we know. Earlier, they picked up Albert Haynesworth in a low-risk trade with the Washington Redskins. Apparently, they weren’t done gathering problem children. They sent a couple of late-round picks to the Principle Champion Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for loquacious WR Chad Ochocinco. Ocho [...]
According to Jeff Darlington, a trade has been completed between the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints for Reggie Bush. And Bush has now agreed to a new contract with his new team to complete the move. “The early-morning negotiations that leaked beyond 2 a.m. have resulted in an agreement today between the Dolphins and [...]
The Chicago White Sox are making some moves! The team has sent Edwin Jackson and utilityman Mark Teahen to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for reliever Jason Frasor and starter Zach Stewart. They also sent stinkbomb Alex Rios to the bench because they are tired of him wasting at-bats for the team. The move [...]
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a deal that will send QB Donovan McNabb to the purple guys. The only thing now is that McNabb has to agree to a new contract for it to go through. McNabb signed a ridiculous extension last season [...]
The Florida Panthers just signed big defensman Ed Jovanovski to a four-year, $16.5 million contract today. At 35-years old and coming off of a 14-point season, we aren’t so sure exactly what he’s going to contribute to the club unless he’s a hilarious locker room prankster who really enjoys keeping the team loose. They are [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers may have finally added a goaltender! In case you didn’t notice, and judging by the ratings you didn’t, the Flyers had awful netminding in the playoffs this year (and end of the regular season). Brian Boucher might start, but Sergei Bobrovsky would finish the game. Or vice versa. Or maybe Michael Leighton [...]
While no one should be excited about being traded to the horrific Cleveland Cavaliers, the exception might be Baron Davis. Now, he won’t have to be heckled at home games by his team’s own friggin’ owner while he tries to play basketball. So, excited or not, Davis was sent packing to the Cavs along with [...]
We’ve heard the rumors for a while, but it’s now official. The Toronto Maple Leafs have shipped puck-moving defenseman Tomas Kaberle to the Boston Bruins. In return, the Leafs get AHL tree trunk Joe Colborne, a 2011 first-round pick and a conditional pick. The conditional pick is, according to the Toronto Star, thought to be [...]
The Tampa Bay Rays made the playoffs last season, but fizzled once they got there. Maybe they lacked playoff experience on the team. And if that’s the case, they may have just helped themselves out. According to SI.com‘s Jon Heyman, the Rays have signed Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez to lifetime contracts, complete with blank [...]
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the United States of America have just made a trade for 32-year old Vernon Wells. It seems pretty damn stupid, but they made the deal with the Toronto Blue Jays anyway. In exchange for Wells, the Blue Jays get C/1B Mike Napoli and OF Juan Rivera. [...]
Amid much trade speculation, the New Jersey Devils have finally sent Jamie Langenbrunner packing. Many in Philadelphia were hoping it would be to the Flyers, but instead, they have sent him to the Dallas Stars. In return, the Devils will get a conditional third-round pick in 2011. If Dallas wins a playoff round this year [...]
According to ESPN‘s Buster Olney, the Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres have agreed to a trade that would send Adrian Gonzalez up to New England. He says that the players have been agreed to, they just need Gonzalez to pass his physical. “Sources: Padres and Red Sox have agreed to a Gonzalez trade, [...]
