Pete Carroll to Sign with NFL’s Seattle Seahawks: Why Leave Now?
Posted: 8th January 2010 by Paul Preibisius in NFL
Pete Carroll has been tossed about as a potential head coaching candidate for NFL jobs across nearly his entire tenure at USC. Miami even followed him all the way to South America in an attempt to hire the coach with a 97-19 career record at USC.á
For the first time, the rumors of Pete CarrollÆs NFL return seem more than vapors. He has not officially signed; however, the Seattle Seahawks have ...
After the Colorado Rockies found themselves in the playoffs for the second time in three years, there were questions as to what would happen as the offseason approached.
One of the Rockies' self-imposed offseason priorities was re-signing clutch-hitting catcher Yorvit Torrealba. For the past three seasons, Chris Iannetta has been seen as the catcher of the future for the Rockies, but in both playoff years, Torrealba has supplanted ...
Miami Heat President Pat Riley should have trusted his gut with the No. 2 pick in the 2008 NBA draft and taken O.J. Mayo instead of Michael Beasley.
Riley, long known for his purported arrogance, seems to have gone soft as he should have refused to listen to the fans, sports analysts, mock draft pundits, and his own basketball people who convinced him that Beasley,áthen a freshman power forward out of ...

This is very entertaining and a great way to keep fans clued into who their team could possibly draft in April.
The following is a mock of only the first round, non-playoff teams in the upcoming draft since there is ...
Can the Chicago Bears Turn the Team Around the Same Way the Blackhawks Did?
Posted: 8th January 2010 by Darrell Horwitz in NFL
I know I'm going to get grief for this, but the thought crossed my mind the other day, and like Degrassi High on the N network, I go there.
Watching that debacle of a press conference the Bears put on the other dayùand the results that came from itùmade me think back to something that happened a few years back that changed the fate of another franchise in Chicagoùthe Blackhawks.
Hockey was ...
Aaron Rodgers Makes It Easy To Forget About You-Know-Who
Posted: 8th January 2010 by Aren Dow in NFL
Aaron Rodgers starts his first playoff game and, really, his legacyáSunday against the Cardinals. The postseason is where careers are cemented; Peyton Manning was seen as merely a good quarterback because he fell apart in big games before finally winning the Super Bowl. Dan Marino is quickly fading because of his lack of success.
Which is why I would love to have Rodgers win his first playoff game. It would start ...

Posted: 8th January 2010 by Craig Rondinone in NFL
After watching ESPNÆs documentary on the life and times of Jimmy "The Greek," I have become inspired to rub my Drew Brees bobblehead doll (donÆt have a crystal ball) and predict which teams will get out of the first round of the NFL playoffs.
Here are my predictions for this weekÆs wild-card contests:
Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals Sports fans look like they wonÆt be getting Floyd Mayweather vs. ...
So Much For The “Unbiased” Vote…Thanks HOF Writers.
Posted: 8th January 2010 by Raider Card Addict in NFL
Oh, the hope was something else for a while there.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame had their first draft, of the players to be chosen for the 2010 ballot. Out of this batch, 25 names were picked and during this process, fans were allowed to vote once per day for their favorites.
It is not surprising that the Raiders were dominating the top 10, controlling eight of the top 10 spots, ...

Twitter is known for having fake accounts for athletes and famous movie stars and singers. But now it's reached a new level particular to people who honestly have nothing better else to do.
There was a fake Twitter account for former Boston Globe sports columnist and Around the Horn panelist Jackie MacMullan.
I was one of those roughly 500-plus followers who was duped into following the account thinking it was the real ...
