Throughout this year and years past I have, as a Yankee fan, been subject to a ton of misguided hatred towards my favorite baseball team. This usually makes me angry and argumentative. I have written countless comments in defense of the Yankees, ex-Yankee players, and Yankee ownership.
The thing that really makes me sick however, is when people attribute any illegal indiscretion with a team or as something that is to ...
Brady Quinn Will Have His Revenge On The Browns and Mangini
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Erin McLaughlin in NFL
Here we go again with another quarterback not living up to the hype in Cleveland. Brady Quinn joins the list of Charlie Frye, Tim Couch, Kelly Holcomb, etc. It seems like the same old story with a different name. There is only one difference in this case. This will come back to bite the Browns.
Those other guys were at least given ample opportunity to develop their game at the NFL ...
I think she's looking for my weekly winners so let's get to it. And is that a FUPA I see next to her?
At any rate.
This is the week where I honestly believe the line maker is looking at the public perception and not at the game itself.
Looking at the card this week I see some lines that are based on public opinion and not on the game itself. With this ...
It has recently come to my attention that the Jets, Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, and former Jets head coach Eric Mangini, now the Cleveland Browns head coach, have all been fined in what is now known as "Favre-gate."
Two weeks ago, the NFL fined the Jets ($75,000), Tannenbaum ($25,000), and Mangini ($25,000) after a league investigation turned up evidence that the organization failed to report Brett Favre's injury, a torn ...
Red Wings Back Up Goalie Jimmy Howard Might (finally) Be Ready for NHL
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Matt Hutter in NHL
Over the past 15 seasons, those in which Detroit's goal-tending has not been labeled as "questionable" by pundits and prognosticators seem few and far between.
I remember people liking Vernon in 1997, I think everyone thought Hasek would be great in 2002...yep, I think that's it.
Every other season that I can remember during this time, Detroit's goal-tending was in question.
Despite the fact that they've won four Cups during this ...
Ritter’s Rant: Farewell to Mats Sundin; Does Anyone Want to Lead the Canadiens?
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Mark Ritter in NHL
Written By: Mark ôThe Hard Hitterö RitterSay what you will about Mats Sundin; today, one of the classiest players to ever don an NHL jersey retired from hockey, and the NHL is weaker for having lost him. Sundin played 1,346 NHL regular season games and along the way collected 564 goals and 785 assists, good enough for 1,349 points. For the record, that ranks Sundin 25th overall in NHL history, ...

The story of Vick's visit appears in today's Washington Post and on www.churchsolutionsmag.com.

For Steelers, It’s Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
Posted: 30th September 2009 by David Matuszak in NFL
As I sit alone in my room, setting about writing this article, I realize that at the conclusion, a few things are going to happen.
1. I know, as a Steelers supporter, that we fans are a unique breed. We do not accept posers, and saying something bad about our black and gold could be good reason to find trash in your front yard or a brick flying through your front ...
