Now this is what I'm talking about!
As reported on the Houston Astros' website, Brett Myers has signed a one year contract worth around five million dollars. This signing not only brings another veteran presence with playoff experience to the ball-club, it also relieves the pressure on the younger starters, such as Yorman Bazardo and Felipe Paulino that were expected to step up into the rotation.á
From this point, and looking ...

Former Head Coach Bill Cowher wants to coach again, that is a certainty.
CowherÆs options are seemingly limited as this year as head coach firings are few and far between, especially considering the number of other high-profile coaches available. So far, his options run the gamut from the Buffalo Bills to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
At this point and time, other teams like the Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans, and Chicago Bears are ...
Amongst the other three anticipated matchups of the weekend, one that isn't getting a load of exposure is the New England Patriotsáand Baltimore Ravens.á
Maybe it's due to these two teams being fairly familiar with one another, or the fact that the Ravens are basically being written off as people feel they don't stand a chance against Tom Brady and his Patriots.
For a number of reasons, though, there is a case ...
I am not an Astros fan. I'm actually a Phillies fan, but I decided that to improve my knowlede of the minor leagues, I would make a top 10 list for each team. My Oakland and Arizona lists are done, and I moved on to the 'Stros. Since I am not a fan of the team, you may sit there at some point and say, "How do you not have ...
The NFL Playoffs have finally arrived and for the first time in several years, there is no real favorite to win it all. The Super Bowl is wide open this year and what about the possibility of a Rodgers vs Favre playoff rematch? How about Manning vs Brady again? The battle of the USC quarterbacks should be interesting on Saturday as well. Or perhaps McNabb will finally break through and ...
Possible Cleveland-Miami Trade For Cribbs If No Deal Is Reached
Posted: 8th January 2010 by Cory Holibaugh in NFL
Browns offer Cribbs new deal.....
Cribbs is disgusted.....
Browns say offer is final.....
Cribbs and agents act very unprofessional.....
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH..........
If Cribbs can't act professional and a deal cannot be negotiated, the Browns should deal him. It shouldn't matter if we can just bench him. The value we can get over benching him is too much.
Therefore, I have a possible trade between the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins. It is definitely ...

Posted: 8th January 2010 by Anthony Emerson in MLB
As the Boston Red Sox' recent flurry of transactions seems to be dying down, there is still one hole remaining on the roster: another reliever.
The Red Sox lost two solid veteran relievers in Takashi Saito and Billy Wagner this offseason, the Red Sox' current bullpen seems to be missing one piece.
The Red Sox have not been linked to anyone mentioned in the article, this is just hypothetical.
This article is in ...
As my fouráregular readers know, I met Donovan McNabb, or as he is referred to in this space, Super 5, three weeks ago. He is my favorite athlete is the history of Philadelphia sports.
Today, Rich Hoffman of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote a piece saying that Super 5, barring a run to the Super Bowl, will not be back next year.
I am a big fan of Rich Hoffman. He is ...

In one day, I've gone from excited and optimistic, to extremely disappointed, and back to optimistic.
I was excited when Jim Mora was relieved of his duties as head coach, as many you know of my criticism of his coaching abilities. Then, when I heard of his "all over but the crime" replacement, Pete Carroll, I was disappointed.
I knew of his past coaching stints with the Jets and Patriots among others, ...
