Chuck Darby, Adam Jennings Signings Take Detroit Lions Back in Time
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Dean Holden in NFL
Chuck Darby is once again a Detroit Lion.
Is it 2008 again? No, canÆt be, the Lions have a tally in the win column, and Rod Marinelli will be coaching on the opposite sideline this Sunday.
So if Marinelli is over there, what is Chuck Darby doing over here?
And I distinctly recall Adam Jennings getting cut a few weeks ago. Why is he back in Detroit?
Furthermore, why is Aveion Cason getting a ...
Final Thoughts on the Giants’ Bludgeoning of the Buccaneers
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Richard Resch in NFL
Is there really anything more to say about the GiantsÆbludgeoning of the Bucs?
Probably not, but IÆll give it a try anyway.
The offensive game ball goes to Ahmad Bradshaw, who gained 104 yards on 14 carries for a spectacular 7.4 yards per carry. Bradshaw has proven that he is as valuable to this offense as anyone, and he needs to get double-digit carries every game.
The defensive game ball goes to ...
Let me be the first to say, DeShawn Stevenson looks like his face should be a graffiti objective in the Grand Theft Auto series.
There is no politically correct way to put it; DeShawn Stevenson looks like a jerk. A backwards Pittsburgh Pirates logo on your face? A crack on your forehead? Abraham Lincoln on your throat?
I actually like DeShawn Stevenson, but thereÆs no way you can attribute this to ...

After a complete meltdown in Week Two, Tony Romo gets on the list if for no other reason than not turning the ball over.
Romo looked tentative and measured during the first half but loosened up by the second, at one point even completing an impromptu pass to running back Tashard Choice that saw the ball go from one sideline across to the other. I like ...
Week three brought many highlights, but the only one anyone is going to remember is Vikings QB Brett Favre hitting newly signed WR Greg Lewis in the back of the endzone with two seconds left to beat the San Francisco 49ers and move to 3-0 on the season.á
As a diehard Packers fan, I was speechless.á I knew Favre would lead a comeback, as he had done so many times for ...
Philadelphia Phillies’ Arms, Bats Wake Up to Claim Stake to NL East Crown

He sure doesn't look like Superman, but Ryan Madson sure is pitching like him.
With a fastball reaching 97 to 98 mph in the ninth inning, Madson pitched a two-inning save to preserve the Phillies 7-4 victory Tuesday over the Houston Astros.
Phillies rookie left-hander J.A. Happ improved to 12-4 with the win.
Coupled with the Florida Marlins' 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves, the Phillies' magic number dropped from three to one.
A ...
According to ESPN.com, the Cleveland Indians have fired Manager Eric Wedge with just six games left in the 2009 regular season. Wedge will finish out the season with the Indians, but Wedge and his staff will not be retained after the season.
Wedge was 560-568 with one playoff appearance (2007) in seven seasons with the Indians.
I have the same question foráIndians management as I didáfor the Houston Astros when they fired ...

Why This Year Is Make or Break for Andrew Bynum
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Malcolm Martin in NBA
Remember 2005?Ah yes, a year that Laker fans have tried in vain to forget for so long, in which a lack of a true center (Kwame Brown was our starting center, that says it all right there), among other problems such as a coach that fled before the All-Star Break (Rudy Tomjanovich), led to a 34-48 record, last in the Pacific Division, 12th in the Western Conference, and not in ...
Three days after the franchises biggest win in nearly five years, nobody is dancing through the streets in Cincinnati.
Things are different for the 2009 Cincinnati Bengals.áThe Bengals hadnÆt beaten the Steelers in Cincinnati since Æ01, and had lost five in a row overall. After SundayÆs 23-20 victory, hope has sprung in a sports depressed city. áGone are the thugs; gone are the over paid veterans cashing in one last fat ...
