Oakland Raiders: Could Former Raiders Fill Holes In The Coaching Staff?
Posted: 1st January 2010 by Ramone Brown in NFL
Undoubtebly the Raiders have quite a few holes to fill. Whether they be on the roster, the coaching staff or even the front office. There is no denying they are there.
Could these holes be filled by former Raiders? I'm not suggesting giving Art Shell a third chance, hiring Warren Sapp as defensive coordinatoráand Bill Romanowski as JaMarcus Russells' nutritionist .
I'm suggesting something much better.
The biggest holes on the coaching staff ...
Message to the Cincinnati Bengals: Lose to the Jets
Posted: 1st January 2010 by John Kluepfel in NFL
The Cincinnati Bengals will play the New York Jets on Sunday (Game set for 8:20pm) but winning for the Bengals is not all that important since they have already clinched a playoff birth. The Jets, with a win, would hold on to a wild card spot and (ironically) play the Bengals again in the first round of the playoffs. If I were the Bengals, I would rest my players and ...
Winter Classic Thrills Boston Crowd, Marco Strum Nets OT Winner

Written By: Mark “The Hard Hitter” Ritter After spending two days taking in the sites and sounds of Fenway Park, the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers outdoor practice and numerous players and management interviews, I headed to Fenway knowing that today was the day, today the Bruins and Flyers would square off in front of over 38,000 fans. As the saying goes, “game on!!!” On my ...
Following is the definitive offensive team of the decade for the years 2000-2009. In some cases I name two players when it is a particularly close call and the second player deserved a prominent mention on the team.
Mostly I name one player for each position.
I only use statistics where needed when players are fairly close and it helps differentiate between contenders for key spots.
Fact checking was ...

(Originally posted on 4SportBoston.com )
Well itÆs New YearÆs Day, and itÆs time to make some resolutions. For many of us weÆll be resolving to lose weight, exercise more, eat better, make more time for family, booze less, and pay off debt.
In the NFL, the resolutions are different and depending on the franchiseùequally as unlikely to happen as our own resolutions.
So what do these teams need to change this year as ...
The Ten Most Memorable Boston Bruins Moments of the 2000’s
Posted: 1st January 2010 by Anthony Emerson in NHL
The 2000s (I refuse to call the previous decade "The Aughts") were filled with many ups and downs for the Boston Bruins.
It began with the Bruins trading beloved captain Ray Bourque to the Colorado Avalanche, and ended with the Bruins winning a ton of awards in Las Vegas, including the Vezina and Norris, and loads of ups and downs in between.Begin Slideshow
We're down to Week 17 and there are several playoff scenarios remaining to be sorted out in each conference during the final games.á
Unlike previous weeks ,á I'm going to do two separate previews, so that I can properly sort out the key games in each conference and how they effect the playoffs.

Idiocy Amongst Icons Harms North America’s Medal Chances Next Month
Posted: 1st January 2010 by Christian Araos in NHL
Last Wednesday and just a few hours ago we found out which players would represent Canada and the United States in the Vancouver games next month.á Both General Managers of Canada (Steve Yzerman) and the United States (Brian Burke) have made horrible omissions of players while including players that are not as deserving to represent their nations.
First off the Canadian roster....

What Happened to Beast Mode? Marshawn Lynch Should be Used as Trade Bait
Posted: 1st January 2010 by Jeremy Juhasz in NFL
When the Buffalo Bills new General Manager was introduced I was perplexed like many fans.
Now that Buddy (...no not the Will Farrel elf) is in charge of personnel decisions at One Bills Drive, my attention didn't immediately turn to who the next head coach would be.á
Instead, I thought who's this new general manager bringing in and perhaps more importantly, who's out the door.á
The first player that came to mind, and ...
Chicago Cubbie Nation is Fine with Marlon Byrd in CenterùFor Now
Posted: 1st January 2010 by Damen Jackson in MLB
Stopping to read the Jim Hendry outfield foibles over the last few seasons reads like the tale of a man who just doesn't get it. Corey Patterson, Jacque Jones, Jeromy Burnitz, Matt Lawton, Cliff Floyd, Juan Pierre, Alfonso Soriano, Kosuke Fukudome, and Milton Bradley, just to name a few. In pretty much every case, the Cubs have either failed to get the production that they hoped for, and/or ...
