A big back to back, home and home setup between Houston and Denver this week as they jockey for the 7 and 8 seeds in the West. The Magic may have finally met an issue they can’t overcome in Dwight Howard’s bulging disc in his back. The Spurs are going to be dangerous as Poppovich once again rested some of the older starters even during a win streak. And someone better wake 76′ers as[...]

When the Denver Broncos won the Peyton Manning extravaganza, I let it sink in for a couple weeks to read between the lines as to why the Broncos went all out to get the future Hall of Famer. Then the immediate trading away of Bronco Fan favorite Tim Tebow to the New York Jets. Sure, [...]

The Red Sox have the runner-up in the AL MVP Award returning in Center Field in Jacoby Ellsbury. He had a monster year in 2011 hitting .321 and a breakout year with power with 32 home runs, throw in 105 RBI’s and name another lead-off hitter to have those kind of numbers? Also add in [...]

The Rockies had a plethora of injuries that kept them from top of the NL West in 2011.

By signing the most prized free agent not named Pujols the Tigers lured Prince Fielder away from Milwaukee. Fielder will add even more power to a very balanced lineup that features alternating [...]

The Marlins got a lot better defensively and also now have one of the premier lead-off men in all of baseball in one swoop when they signed Jose Reyes from the Mets in the offseason. Reyes hits for average, gets on base, is a threat to steal a base or two, and the biggest factor does not strike out very often. With his acquisition that meant the Marlins power hitting shortstop [...]

The Nationals started to build something last year and their lineup is the reason. The breakout from the cellar last season was a charge led by Left Fielder Michael Morse who hit .303 with 31 home runs and 95 RBI’s in 2011. In Right Field it looks like the opening day starter will be Jayson [...]

South Carolina announced this morning that men’s basketball coach Darrin Horn had been let go after completing his fourth season. Four years ago Horn was a hot commodity after having lead his alma mater Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to  a Sweet 16 run in the NCAA Tournament. His hiring on April 1, 2008 had Gamecock Nation [...]
