Posted: 28th February 2010 by Kyle McMorrow in NHL
It didn't have a storybook ending. It may not be made into a movie or make its way through the decades on the tongues of those who were around to watch, but the 2010 USA men's hockey team was my generation's miracle on ice.
With all the bashing and critiques media outlets pushed onto the laps of the the young Americans, many of which had never played on the ...
Syracuse WR Mike Williams Will Be the Steal of the 2010 NFL Draft
Posted: 28th February 2010 by Christopher DiCarlo in NFL
Syracuse wide receiver Mike Williams worked out today at the NFL Scouting Combine, and proved he's worthy of being drafted into the NFL.
Williams is projected as a third round draft pick in the upcoming draft, which I think for a man with his talent, that's a steal.
Yes he has a troubled past. Willams was suspended for the entire 2008 season because of an academic issue. He made a strong comeback ...

Posted: 28th February 2010 by Kristopher Knox in NFL
For fans of the Cleveland Browns, recent years have often been filled with failure and disappointment. With few bright spots and even fewer wins since the Browns' reintroduction to the league, it can sometimes be very difficult to be a Browns fan.
However, Browns fans are a resilient bunch. Just as the low points bring them down, fans ride high when things do go right for the Browns. It seems ...
Heartbreaker: America’s Miracle Run Ends with Silver
Posted: 28th February 2010 by Dylan Martin in NHL
In possibly the biggest event in the Winter Olympics there was a great story unfolding before the games began, and all the trash talk started that the American Olympic hockey team was viewed to fall early in the Olympics and having little to no shot even at theáBronze. But just like 30 years ago in Lake Placid, this American team would show heart and determination.
The long run started with a ...

Sunday was Day Five of the combine but technically it's the "Day 2 Arrivals" who were--or not--participating in the drills and workouts.
It was the quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers turn to rise to the challenge of performing in front of an audience whose observations go a long way towards the size of their future bank accounts.
Sure, it's conceivable to think many of these young men may buckle under the ...

After what may be the best "fan" day for the Combine, there were many, many guys who moved up and down both my board and probably scouts' boards.
We'll take a look at the top guys at each position who really improved their stock dramatically (as many as two rounds in one case), and some guys who began a free fall that scouts didn't expect.

Detroit Lions Looking Toward Antonio Cromartie
Posted: 28th February 2010 by Michael Schottey in NFL
While sitting here at the NFL Scouting Combine can be a long and arduous process, it allows a writer to get more out of a beat reporter than what he gives to sites like Rotoworld or PFT.
When news broke that Kevin Acee was reporting interest between the Detroit Lions and San Diego Chargers involving Antonio Cromartie, Tom Kowalski immediately began looking around for Acee.
I found him standing in the middle ...
