I’ve been out of town for most of the last two weeks traveling to Maine and Virginia for the holidays. During that time, I’ve watched the Celtics rally up against the Magicians on Christmas Day, only then to catch glimpses and read about their recent shortcomings against the Clips, Warriors, and the Suns.
If the Celtics lose again tonight against the Raps, the game may be ...

Mile High Meltdown: Josh McDaniels Gets An ôFö As Head Coach
Posted: 2nd January 2010 by Justin Javan in NFL
After reading this morning that Brandon Marshall is being benched by Coach McDaniels, I couldnÆt help but wonder; what the ôhellö is going on in Denver.
In the first place, Mike Shanahan never should have been fired. HeÆs a Hall of Fame coach and an offensive genius. Besides from winning two Super Bowls, he revolutionized the game with his use of zone blocking with an undersized offensive line. It was so ...
Toronto Maple Leafs New Years Resolutions: Turning Over a New Leaf

Yes, 2009 was certainly an interesting year for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and one that, while having some positive aspects to it, will mostly be happily forgotten by many in Leaf Nation.
This season started off terribly, and the team has been playing catch-up ever since. But with 2010 rolling in, it is finally time for the Leafs and their fans to forget about what happened in the past. This year ...
With the new year in full swing, the A's need to stick to their New Year's resolution and continue to get younger and stronger. However, with the recent offseason moves made by Billy Beane, it's hard not to notice that they've strayed just a tiny bit from their Youth Movement.
The A's third base situation is probably their biggest priority, since they've traded away top prospect Brett Wallace to Toronto in ...
Bengals Become Cincinnati’s Last Hope as Bearcats Fall
Posted: 2nd January 2010 by Ezri Silver in NFL
As the Florida Gators celebrated victory in the face of adversity, the Bearcats miserable conclusion to a perfect season was complete in its "so close but yet so far" conclusion.
Yet as much as there were coaching questions with Brian Kelly's departure to Notre Dame and the suffering play calling that followed on the Bearcat's offense, the Bengals are suffering from either magnificent subterfuge on offense or facing a similar fate ...

The Rawlings glove that resides in the back seat of my car all summer long has been replaced by the winter gloves, my Nike cleats still caked with dried mud and infield turf have been abandoned in favor of a pair of Cabela Snow Runners, and the Louisville Slugger has been packed away in favor of a snow brush.

Remember the days of the Oakland Athletics’ big three of Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, and Barry Zito? While those pitchers have fallen from their elite-statuses due to injuries and under performance, it wasn’t long ago that any of those guys fit the billing of a top-of-the-rotation starter in fantasy leagues.
Now the entire trio has moved on and a flock of new young Athletics’ starters have ...

Nine weeks into the season, Al Davis, Tom Cable, andáthe 2-7 Raiders had finally seen enough of quarterback Jamarcus RussellÆs impotent attempts to execute...wellàanything.áá
In a season and a half Jamarcus Russellámanaged to provide the OaklandáColiseumáwith plenty of elbow room with his poor play behind center.á With the season circling the drain, Cable announced that Russell would be benched.

Posted: 2nd January 2010 by Ryan Pickard in NHL
I'm still trying to stop my heart from beating out of my chest right now.
Yesterday, the Boston Bruins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in OT in the third annual Winter Classic.
The game, which has become an annual event since the first game was played between the Penguins and Sabres two years ago in Buffalo, has been the marquee event on the NHL Schedule.
The buzz that was surrounding the game was unbelievable. ...
