You follow so many sports with equal ease… do you have a preference?
Although I DO love about every sport, I’d have to say my favorite is football. I’ve been a die-hard Rams fan ever since I saw Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Issac Bruce and Torry Holt play during the Greatest Show on Turf era. Even [...]

The Fantasy Football season is rolling into week three and it may be time to make some roster moves for some. Draft picks not working out? injured players to replace on your roster? Benched starters on your roster? Let’s have a look at some players that may be available in your league for a pick up, in no particular order.

Quarterback: [...]

As the 2010-2011 NBA season draws near, the Los Angeles Lakers look primed for another championship run with a deeper and meaner roster. The Lakers added more firepower in their lineup after acquiring Steve Blake, Theo Ratliff, and Matt Barnes in the offseason. General manager Mitch Kupchak seems very much aware of the threat on [...]

Week 3 is in the books. Let’s see what we learned.
Arkansas looks legit. Everyone knew that Arkansas’s offense was going to be good but I had some serious doubts about their defense. Arkansas’s defense dominated Georgia for the first three quarters in their 31-24 victory which put Ryan Mallet in the Heisman discussion and setting [...]

Two weeks into the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-0. No, that is not a misprint, the Buccaneers have really won their first two games of the year. Tampa Bay went on the road to defeat the team that has had their number over the years, the Carolina Panthers. The Bears and Packers are the only other teams in the NFC to start 2-0, though the Saints can join them with a win over the 49ers on Monday night.

Well, the hockey season is drawing closer as NHL teams, including the Philadelphia Flyers, opened training camp on Saturday.
For the first time, I was in attendance at the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, N.J. Before we move into notes from camp, let me say that the turnout was outstanding. It’s being reported that there were [...]

“It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” Who said that? Was it Yogi Berra?

There is so much truth in those six words.

Ask Mike Weaver who knocked out Heavyweight champion John Tate (may he rest in peace) with seconds to go in the fight after trailing badly on all score cards.

1. This Defense Is REALLY, REALLY Good
Seven turnovers, including an impressive interception in the end zone by the best safety in football, Troy Polamalu, are evidence of that. Seven takeaways by one team just doesn’t happen. Teams are too careful with the ball after even the first turnover they commit.
They shut down the first running [...]

What will see from the Arizona Diamondbacks over the past two weeks? Many questions still to answer, even though the big one, where will they finish in the standings, was answered long ago.

The Dbacks will come home after tomorrow’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates for the final six home games of the season before ending up on the road in California [...]

With their 20-19 win over Arizona State on Saturday, Wisconsin improved to 3-0 on the season for the seventh-consecutive year. The win also marked the 27th straight non-conference regular-season game they’ve won dating back to 2003. At home, Badger head coach Bret Bielema is undefeated against non-conference opponents, outscoring them by an average of 17.9 points. While Bielema [...]
