New York Rangers Claim Alex Auld Off Re-Entry Waivers
Posted: 27th February 2010 by Rangers Tribune in NHL
Darren Dreger of TSN is reporting that the New York Rangers have claimed goaltender Alex Auld off of re-entry waivers from the Dallas Stars. Auld, 29, will become current starting netminder Henrik Lundqvist's back-up, allowing Chad Johnson and Matt Zaba to remain with the Wolf Pack (AHL) and compete at that level on a nightly basis. Which is probably the best thing for their development right now. In ...
Best Rhodes to Chicago Bears Free Safety Help Come from New York
Posted: 27th February 2010 by Gene Chamberlain in NFL
The Bears have finally decided to get serious about replacing free safety Mike Brown.
It took a year of watching Al Afalava and Kevin Payne being too slow to get to receivers on third down and Danieal Manning lining up incorrectly, before they realized what everyone else knew going into last offseason.
No one on their roster is a legitimate starting NFL free safety.
“After we came out of our meetings, that was ...
It’s 1986, You Are Tom Benson, the Saints’ New Owner, and in the Driver’s Seat
Posted: 27th February 2010 by Randy Savoie in NFL
It's 1986. You are the new owner of the New Orleans Saints and you could drive the most expensive luxury car but you drive a Chevy Caprice instead.
You made your business fortune in Texas- where every thing is big—especially the corpone and bullshit—but that was never your way.
You said the only reason you bought an NFL team is because it was your hometown New Orleans Saints. You said, had it ...
Sandy Koufax Is the Best I’ve Seen: Hall of Fame Manager Leo Durocher
Posted: 27th February 2010 by Harold Friend in MLB
Sandy Koufax won the Cy Young Award for the third time in 1966.
He won 27 games for a Los Angeles team that was offensively challenged, and compiled a 1.90 ERA+, which was the best of his career. Koufax was at his peak. Los Angeles, led by Koufax and Don Drysdale, won the pennant, but the underdog Baltimore Orioles swept ...
Now that we're a few hours into the workouts of this year's NFL combine, there are already a few clear cut winners, and here they are:
Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
Cody was a winner just by showing up and stepping on the scales. There have been concerns about his weight leading up to the combine, and many scouts and analysts were expecting him to show up in the 370 lb. range. When ...

Jason Castro Will Get Chance To Be the Houston Astros’ Starting Catcher
Posted: 27th February 2010 by Adam Bernacchio in MLB
One of my first articles that was featured on MLBTradeRumors.com was my “Astros Fooled By Pudge” post. Here is what is I wrote back last March in regards to the Houston Astros signing Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez.
“The Astros need to get younger not older. I understand that J.R. Towles hit only .137/4/16 in 54 games last season and he has looked terrible this spring hitting .153/1/1 in 13 AB’s.
However, he was ranked the ...
Is Chauncey Billups the Biggest Threat to a Los Angeles Lakers Repeat Bid?
Posted: 27th February 2010 by Hadarii Jones in NBA
The Denver Nuggets have established themselves as a legitimate threat to contend for a NBA championship this season, but as a columnist for the Los Angeles, I am a lot more wary of Chauncey Billups than the Nuggets themselves.
Billups plays the point guard position, which has been a bane for the Lakers, and in my opinion, he plays it better than anyone else in the league, including names like Chris Paul, ...
NBA’s Top 10 Rookie Point Guard Seasons of the Last 20 Years
Posted: 27th February 2010 by Mike B. in NBA
This year, the NBA Rookie of the Year Award will most likely be handed to one of two exciting point guards: the Sacramento Kings' Tyreke Evans or the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry.
Evans is trying to join Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James as the only rookies in history to average 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game, while Curry has already recorded a triple-double and ...
