Sports Jabber is proud to bring you its very own Super Bowl Squares contest. The winners of the first three quarters will receive a $10 gift certificate for Subway. That’s right, lunch is on us. The winner of the final score will receive a Super Bowl Program.
It’s totally free, so there is no [...]

Right from “da git go” here, let me clarify that although I’m an African-American, I very seldom play the race card…and I’m not playing it here, just asking a question that I’m seeing posed coming out of Dallas. And since we’re approaching Dr. Martin Luther King Day as well as the inauguration of this country’s [...]

A year ago, the University of Texas retired the number of Kevin Durant. I adamantly disapproved of a ceremony honoring an athlete that was housed for less than 12 months on the Austin campus. Now, a year later, Syracuse is prepared to honor the jersey of Carmelo Anthony, and I’m asking the same [...]

The battle to end all battles. The first and second ranked defenses in the NFL, two young Quarterbacks with cannon arms. Two playmaking Safeties. The battle of the titans.
Both teams come into this, similar blueprints, each priding itself on defense, each pounding the ball between the tackles. Each trying to prove the critics and experts [...]

On the weekend of June 20th and 21st 2008, the NHL had its entry draft.
With the Tampa Bay Lightning winning the lottery, they got the first overall pick.
They chose Markham native, Steven Stamkos.
The Los Angeles Kings got the second overall pick.

Anyone watching the NFC’s top seed get eliminated at home by their divisional rivals couldn’t possibly be stunned. Well, maybe you can be, if you haven’t tracked the former champs from there to here. The G-men down the stretch had [...]

Phenomenal Previews Presents : The 2009 NFL Playoffs
(Divisional Round)
Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1) @ New York Giants (12-4)
This is a do or die game for McNabb in my opinion. Reid’s already not a fan of his, and both are in jeopardy of being out of Philadelphia. McNabb’s shown two sides to him all season long. He’ll either [...]

We have two head coaches, employed by two storied programs, with both men walking a similar path. Oklahoma hired Bob Stoops in 1999, and a year later, the BCS Championship Trophy is in Norman. Ohio State hired Tressel in 2001, and the Buckeyes stood atop the football world in 2002. Both men have dominated [...]

From the Files of Football Jabber:
The next few days are just a treat for the football fan.  NFL Playoff games, kids declaring for the NFL Draft, and the Anti-Playoff in the BCS Championship game.   In a time when we should be  feeling like football is ending soon, it feels like it is just beginning in [...]

Phenomenal Previews Presents : The 2009 NFL Playoffs (Divisional Round)
San Diego Chargers (8-8) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4)
The best defense in the league matches up against the team who just took out the hottest team in football, the Indianapolis Colts. Think back to the regular season match up in Week 11. The Steelers offense put up [...]
