Posted: 30th September 2009 by Melissa Kania in NHL
Tyler Myers may be the next big thing for the Buffalo Sabres.
Literally.
Myers,áa 6-foot-7 defenseman, made the Sabres rosteráWednesday as final cuts were announced to narrow the team to justá23 players.
The move comesáa day after it was announced that defenseman Toni Lydmanáhas a hand injury.
The opening space on the already-packed Sabres defensiveáunitáwas granted to the 19-year-old Myersáwhile Mike Weber, another promising young defenseman,áwas sent down to Portland of the AHL.

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Mike Kranzler in NFL
The NFL season is in full swing, and several rookies around the league are already starting to distinguish themselves from the pack in their inaugural campaigns.
A.J. Smith is known as a shrewd talent evaluator when it comes to the NFL Draft, but his recent hauls have not done much to support that belief. With the 2009 NFL Draft five months in the past (and rookies having already gotten three games ...
According to SportsBusiness Journal, Michael Vick has signed an endorsement deal with Nike.á The deal comes more than two years after Vick was originally dropped by Nike because of his now infamous involvement in Bad Newz Kennels.
Neither Vick's camp nor Nike were willing to disclose terms, but we can probably assume that Vick is earning substantially less than he did when he signed as an NFL rookie in 2001.

There is a lot of star power missing from this weekÆs rankings, as the bye weeks officially begin.

It is Week Four of the fantasy football season and leagues are starting to take shape.
While there are teams that are 3-0 and others that are 0-3 you have to remember that it is still early enough and you shouldnÆt hit the panic button. For those that are 2-1 or 1-2, odds are your records could be flip flopped quite easily.

On October 10th, Brett Favre will turn 40 years old. In the grand scheme, Favre is still a young man since 40 is the new 30 or some nonsense like that.
In football years, Favre is an old dog up to his old tricks. Just ask the 49ers, who watched the old dog snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat in week three.
The roller coaster ride that has been Brett ...
