Wes Welker, Chad Henne, and Pat White Hurt in Week 17
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Chris Farmer in NFL
Wes Welker left the Houston game today with a knee injury. He left on a cart with a towel over his head, which is usually an indication from the player that they know the injury to be serious.
It could be awful news for Patriots fans, but then again Belichick is the best at applying band aids to glaring sores.
I would be willing to bet his top ...
It seems hard to believe, but we are already in the year 2010. And with any new decade, it seems only fair to look back at the best of the previous 10 years.
So with that, I present my Top 10 picks from each position between the years 2000-2009: Outfielders (for this list, I decided to do the top 30 given the large number of outfielders there are).
As with any ranking, ...
Indianapolis Colts: Individual Achievements Greater Than Team Goals
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Chad Smith in NFL
Another week, another controversial topic for a 14-win NFL team.
The Colts are in Buffalo at this moment, taking on the Bills in what is basically a pre-season game.
After last week's decision to rest the starters late in the third quarter, the Colts organization has set themselves up for another interesting week of fan criticism.
With Wes Welker going down with a serious injury in a meaningless game in Houston, fans and ...
San Diego Padres Notes: Kevin Kouzmanoff, Brad Ausmus, Reed Johnson
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Todd Kaufmann in MLB
So far this offseason, the San Diego Padres have yet to make a change to their roster in trade or free agency.
According to Bill Center of the San Diego Union Tribune , that could change prior to players reporting to spring training next month.
Owner Jeff Moorad has already been quoted as saying the team has about $5 to $6 million to spend and with that money the team could go ...
The Vikings are man-handling the Giants 31-0 at halftime; ifáthe leadáholds, the Cardinals may very well decide to take the foot off the gas in the Packers game less than two hours away.
ESPN's Mike Sando concurs.
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic also believes the Cards-Packers game will hold little meaning if the Vikings prevail.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin Journal Sentinel team gives us a peak into this afternoonÆs Cardinals-Packers match-up.
Michael Hunt of ...
Gerald Laird and his little brother were arrested in Arizona for getting into a fight after a Phoenix Suns game. This just doesn’t seem right, does it? Laird seemed reasonably mild mannered during his first season with the Tigers, but I guess I don’t really know the guy.
This isn’t a Gilbert Arenas situation as there were no real threats and no guns. However, Laird and his brother allegedly assaulted the ...
Stop Crying Over Spilled Milk: Jason Bay Wasn’t a Big Loss For Boston
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Anthony Emerson in MLB
Recently, former Boston Red Sox outfielder Jason Bay signed a new contract with the New York Mets for four years and $66 million.
Why the Mets wanted to overpay for an average hitter, I don't know.
Jason Bay was instantly beloved by the Fenway Faithful after being acquired on Trade Deadline 2008, which saw the Public Enemy No. 1 in Boston, Manny Ramirez, leave for Los Angeles.
But, what many Red Sox fans ...

Mike Lowell Has Come Full Circle As Member of Boston Red Sox
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Sean Kennedy in MLB
By now, Mike Lowell's 2005 acquisition by the Red Sox has become a sort of local folklore.
Lowell was supposed to be the "dead weight" the Florida Marlins dumped on the Red Sox in November 2005 in order to procure Josh Beckett. Lowell was under contract for $9 million in each of the next two seasons and was coming off a career-worst season.á
For the promise that Becket provided, the Sox parted ...
