Olympic Hockey: Five Reasons Why Canada Will Beat the United States
Posted: 19th February 2010 by Matthew Hogan in NHL
I like starting each of my articles with a small observation IÆve picked up while watching the Olympics. TodayÆs observation will focus on womenÆs hockey.
I would rather watch the pee-wee hockey ôgameö in between periods at Madison Square Garden than watch a womenÆs Olympic hockey game. At least the little ôpee-weesö are kind of adorable when they are falling all over the place and not scoring.
I am not being sexist, ...
Olympic Hockey Has It Almost Perfect, Shootouts Aren’t the Answer
Posted: 19th February 2010 by Tyler Curtis in NHL
The second shootout just ended seconds ago and boy was it exciting, but it is not the right way to end an Olympic hockey game. The shootouts happened today in games that involved Canada against Switzerland and Russia against Slovakia. My main problem is with the first shootout of the day. I just want to say that I like the shootout in the NHL and actually love watching them. ...
NBA Trade Rumors Come True: Knicks Trade for Tracy McGrady and Cap Room
Posted: 18th February 2010 by Keith Schlosser in NBA
A trade months in the making finally became official as the NBA neared its trading deadline earlier today, but not without a couple of speed bumps.
The Knicks acquired Tracy McGrady today in a three team trade with the Kings and Rockets.
Late last night it was reported that the Rockets had agreed to trade McGrady to the Kings in exchange for Kevin Martin. However, the Knicks were still able to prevail ...

Posted: 18th February 2010 by David Xaviel is the Real Mr. X in NFL
In the wake of the first Super Bowl win by the New Orleans Saints, a team that had long wallowed in less than mediocrity, I started thinking about the worst NFL moves in the past 10 years.
For example, the San Diego Chargers allowed both quarterback Drew Brees and running back Michael Turner to leave via free agency while receiving nothing in exchange.

San Diego Chargers: The Effects Of Trading Antonio Cromartie
Posted: 18th February 2010 by Paul Preibisius in NFL
While it is not entirely unexpected that the San Diego Chargers are shopping athletic cornerback Antonio Cromartie, it does throw an interesting wrinkle into the teamÆs overall outlook this offseason.
The potential suitors and what player they may land has been discussed frequently since the team made it known that Cromartie was being used as trade fodder, primarily to try and land a running back.á What hasnÆt seen as much attention ...
Running backs in the 2010 NFL Draft are pretty fairly deep with a pair of first round quality picks and a trio of second round talents.
Running backs represent less of a risk than quarterbacks and I don't have my top going off the board until late in the Top 15, which is significantly less money than my top two quarterbacks this year.
This year's class has a good combination of ...
Why David Wright’s Confidence Is Refreshing for the New York Mets
Posted: 18th February 2010 by Bob Warja in MLB
Good teams often have a certain attitude about them, a brashness that often borders on cockiness. That is why I enjoyed New York Mets third baseman David Wright's recent proclamation that the Mets are going to win the World Series.
According to the New York Post, shortstop Jose Reyes also got in the spirit shortly after Wright's bold prediction. According to Kevin Kernan, "Reyes said over in the minor league clubhouse ...
2010 NFL Draft: What if Berry and Haden Are Gone When Cleveland Browns Pick?
Posted: 18th February 2010 by Daniel Wolf in NFL
A well known fact about the Cleveland Browns is that they need major help in their defensive secondary.
So much help that both president Mike Holmgren and General Manager Tom Heckert have agreed there are only three quality players currently on the roster in cornerback Eric Wright, safety Abram Elam, and utility defender Mike Adams.
As of right now, it seems that 95 percent of all mock drafts online say the Browns ...
The New York Knicks gained more salary cap room by acquiring Tracy McGrady in a three team deal earlier today. The Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings were the other two teams involved in the deal. When Knicks president Donnie Walsh took over the team, he made it a point to open up cap space in order to make a splash in the free agent market after this season. That is ...
