I'm not predicting who is getting into the HOF. I'm just giving my opinion on who deserves it or not.

Chicago Bears 2009 Season Ends: Which Coach Takes the Fall for Team Struggles?
Posted: 5th January 2010 by Ian Sheppard in NFL
Wow, the potential changes in the Bears coaching staff is a hot topic lately.

While this may be highly unpopular, I agree with Jiggetts ...
Not in any particular order I have accumulated a list of names....
Harry Carson, Junior Seau, Zack Thomas, Ray Lewis, Jack Lambert, Patrick Willis, Mike Singletary, Sam Mills, Jon Beason, Chris Spielman, Dick Butkus, Brian Urlacher. What do they all have in common?
They all played middle linebacker.
Whatever decade they played in...they played the position angry.

This time, the eccentric Bengals' wide receiver has chosen to adopt the surname "Agent Zero", which was the popular nickname of Washington Wizards' veteran Gilbert Arenas.

A Week in the Life of the Maple Leafs: Four Huge Games in Five Nights
Posted: 5th January 2010 by Jon Neely in NHL
It's time to get down to business for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
If it wasn't imperative to win games before New Years, it certainly is now with a playoff spot slipping away by the day.
On the final night of 2009, the Leafs were five points out of eighth place.
On the night of Jan. 4, 2010, they are eight points out and slipping fast. And it may be slightly premature to say ...
