2010 NFL Draft: The Kansas City Chiefs’ Scenarios for Pick No. 5
Posted: 26th February 2010 by Russell Fike in NFL
For the past several years, the first pick of the draft was as predictable as a sunrise in the morning.á
Sometimes a team with the top pick will even work out a contract with a player before he is named at the podium.
At least to this point, that's not the case this year.
Everyone in our Kansas City community has been expressing his or her preferences on the Chiefs draft ...
You should never be comfortable with your fantasy team; always be looking for ways to improve your squad as you gear up for a long playoff run. As the NHL hits its Olympic break, it is a perfect time to sit back and examine what can come in the final six weeks of action.

Posted: 26th February 2010 by John McKibbin in MLB
I'm not positive, but I think I'm having a nervous breakdown.
My significant other tells me that I've been talking—actually chanting—in my sleep. It's driving her around the bend. Can you imagine what it's like to be awakened from a sound sleep at 3:30AM by an old-age pensioner with swamp breath who's shouting, "WE'RE NUMBER THIRTY! WE'RE NUMBER THIRTY!! WE'RE NUMBER THIRTY!!!"
I've tried to explain to her that it's all Alex ...
2010 NFL Combine: Who is This Year’s Strongest Offensive Lineman?
Posted: 26th February 2010 by Dylan MacNamara in NFL
Friday saw the offensive linemen begin the physical portion of the 2010 NFL Combine with the bench press test. For those of you unfamiliar with the process, the prospects are asked to bench press 225 lbs. as many times as they can.
Naturally, the expectation for a "good" performance varies by position. The "bigs," (offensive and defensive linemen) are expected to rep 225 lbs. somewhere between 25-38 times. Anything ...

Charles Barkley: Michael Beasley and Heat a Bunch of Cry Babies
Posted: 26th February 2010 by Tuviere Akpoghene in NBA
This was truly funny. Michael Beasley of the Miami Heat said, "My name is not Tito Jackson."
Really? You could have fooled me!
That statement was made in response to a comment TNT broadcaster and Hall of Famer Charles Barkley made referring to the Miami Heat as a team with Michael Jackson (that would be Dwyane Wade) and a bunch of Titos, Michael’s brother and a background member of the famed Jackson ...

Posted: 26th February 2010 by Andy Bensch in MLB
When any self-proclaimed "die hard" Giants fans talk about their team for more than five minutes, the dismal managing duo of Bruce Bochy and Brian Sabean almost always comes up in the conversation.
And what is the biggest issue that makes this tandem of field manager and general manager so maligned by the fan base?
The biggest issue that irks the die-hards is San Francisco's inconsistency in giving young players a chance ...

Posted: 26th February 2010 by Daniel Muth in NFL
There has been much talk of late about exactly what the Detroit Lions should do with their richly deserved no. 2 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Some claim that they'd be silly to pass up a shot at Ndamukong Suh if he's available at the no 2., while still others think that Gerald McCoy may be even better.
But with rumors swirling about the possibility of the St. Louis ...
