New England-Baltimore: Is Feeding Fred Taylor the Ball Key to a Patriots Feast?
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Mike Gleason in NFL
The Patriots face their toughest test of the season next week when they face a Ravens team that finally appears to have put it all together.
Tom Brady, to be frank, has not looked impressive over the past three weeks. He's missed throws, been skittish in the pocket, and got visibly frustrated during last week's win against the Falcons.
His receivers have been mediocre thus far. Joey Galloway has been a disaster. ...
If Roman Polanski Looked Like Michael Vick: He’d Be Rotting in Prison
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
What a joke.
Put him in prison. Extradite him to America, carry out his sentence, and let him serve his time.
It will be a real shame, since he is a genius. Not only that, but he has suffered a lot in his life, and deserves to be happy in his old age.
But the same could be said for a lot of criminals. How many gang members on death row grew up ...
2009-10 Chicago Preview: Can Derrick Rose’s Team Prove Last Year Wasn’t Bull?
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Sayre Bedinger in NBA
It was March Madness in April.
Seven games.á Seven overtimes.á Clutch shot after clutch shot.á In a word, the Chicago Bulls' 2008-09 finish was simply...classic.
Unfortunately for the 41-41 Bulls, it did not finish as they expected. Their season, along with the grueling seven game series, ended against the then defending champion Boston Celtics with a 10 point loss on the road.
Still, the Bulls and their fans remain optimistic that budding star ...
Mangini Needs to Go: The Worst Coach Is Leading The Worst Team

HeÆs about as likable as a stomach ulcer.
Actually, as a Patriots fan, IÆm pretty sure I enjoy the presence of my stomach ulcer more than I would enjoy his company.
There is only one man in the NFL that could be described in such a manner.
That man is Eric Mangini, head coach of the Cleveland Browns, who currently hold the title in many peopleÆs minds as the worst team in the ...
Panic Sweeping The Raider Nation? Not All of Us, Not All at Once
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Raider Card Addict in NFL
Calláme the eternal optimist.
Or, call me completely delusional.
Reading through the media in the last couple days you would think the Raiders have lost the last two straight seasons 0-16 and we are resorting to calling Jeff George out of retirement.
Folks, it's been one loss.
One.
For the season, we are 1-2, in third place in the AFC West.
San Diego is 2-1 and Denver is at 3-0.
Why am I not running like a ...
Tracy McGrady Expected Back Around DecemberThat is, if the Rockets are lucky.McGrady will continue rehabbing his knee until mid-November, and will then get another MRI to see how far along he is. Another sign that McGrady is a possible scratch for the entire season altogether.After learning that Yao Ming is almost certainly missing the 2009-10 season, the Rockets probably wouldn't mind getting a healthy McGrady back before January, but that ...
Breaking News: Twins Sign Miguel Angel Sano
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Christopher Chavez in MLB
According to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, the Minnesota Twins have signed Dominican shortstop Miguel Angel Sano. Sano will get a $3.15 million dollar bonus. That amount would make it the largest amount of money for an international amateur player this summer/fall. It would be the second highest signing bonus behind his fellow countryman Michael Ynoa, who signed with the Athletics this past winter. The ...
How many times in 2009 have we been at this juncture? How many times have the Atlanta Braves climbed back in the standings and laced a fainted city with hope? How many times has this team been so close to clinching a hold and gaining a victory, only to have its heart ripped out? Too many.
The Atlanta Braves have a new campaign for this year's push: Believe. They are asking ...
Ok Leaf fans donÆt exit the screen just yet, here me out first.
Like most other Maple Leaf fans from about 2004-2008, I wanted to pull my hair out at almost every transaction former GM, John Ferguson Jr. made.
Andrew Raycroft, Jason Allison, Jeff OÆNeill, Eric Lindros, Brian Leetch, as well as many others were players picked up by Ferguson, were basically disasters or were signs of plain bad managing.
Raycroft was ...

I have been writing for Bleacher Report for a year-and-a-half now, with over 415 articles written, 230,000 article reads and more stats that I can spew out, like IÆve been doing ever since I started writing.
IÆve had my share of popular articles and hardcore controversy. IÆve had articles that have seemed to kill my reputation and others that have unfairly bolstered it. But overall, IÆve had a pretty good time ...
