Another Horrendous Sports Idea: NBA To Give Fans Power in the MVP Vote
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Steven Resnick in NBA
Kudos for the NBA, specifically David Stern, for coming up with another horrendous idea. It's almost as bad as MLB having the winner of the all-star game get home field advantage in the World Series. Actually, you could probably argue that both of the ideas are bad.
Although, bad ideas seem to be what Stern is good at. Some examples of these bad ideas were the introduction of zone defenses, defensive ...
Recent rumors have linked the Washington Redskins to NFL draft prospect Tim Tebow.
Of course, with the rumors has come plenty of speculation as to what the Redskins drafting Tebow would mean for the franchise.
Needless to say, the hype surrounding Tebow has only increased as the draft approaches. The team who selects Tebow will be hounded by reporters for days as the sports world tries in vain to discover what their plans are for Tebow’s career.
Tebow is an average guy in ...
Who will the Dolphins Choose? The Miami Dolphins have the No. 12 draft pick in the 2010 draft. Reports are all over the place with predictions. I thought I would break down some of the big top prospects Miami is considering. I did leave out a few, for I don't know them too well. Tell me what you think of this list?Begin Slideshow
Among all the buzz that has surrounded LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh's impending free agency, there have been many players that have fallen by the wayside. Either because of a lack of flashiness or being overshadowed on an already good team, plenty of guys will likely slip through the cracks in the bonanza that will be the summer of 2010.
In the end, these players will be paid, as ...
Basketball games are won time by time from the gutsy 3-point shots that some of these players make. Since the 1980 season, they have made the biggest change in all of basket ball history. They created the 3-point shot.
The players that can execute these shots have to use precise aim and power. These players aren't given enough credit for their ability to make the basket in clutch performances. This ...
WINTON, AK - In a story that is quickly gaining steam around the college basketball community, a 6’4” 16-year-old basketball player with a 50-inch vertical leap has been discovered in a small town in Arkansas. The commotion started two days ago when Darryl Jameston, playing in his first ever summer league game, took off from one step inside of the free thrown line and threw down a thunderous dunk.

Should the Dolphins choose a DT with their No. 12 pick in the first round?
The Dolphins need to draft a NT/DT due to the aging Jason Ferguson. Also, Ferguson will be suspended for the first eight games.
Miami is desperate for a DT that can plug up the middle. Paul Soliai has proved to be a DECENT replacement.
However I have my speculation that Miami will be using its 12th pick on ...
The Colorado Avalanche have imploded.
A month ago they were competing for the division, currently stand a mere two points over ninth place Calgary—the Avalanche's next opponent. Following the Olympic break, the Avalanche haven't found the momentum they had in the first 50 games of the season, and are 1-5-1 in the past seven.
In other words, they're finally playing like the youngest team in the NHL.
The Avs have gotten pretty ...
There's always a certain pride when you see one of your fellow countrymen making it on the world's biggest stage. In Australia, we generally aren't in short supply of successful athletes in most sports. However, there's a special place in our heart for those who take on the rest of the world and win. The spirit of the underdog, the battler, all are values we hold dear.
So it probably comes as ...
Five (Alliterative) Reasons the Detroit Tigers will Win the AL Central
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Matt Snyder in MLB
The Tigers are eager to put the memory of last year’s near playoff miss far behind them, and early indications show that this team has the players to do just that.
Many initially thought the Tigers wouldn't be in a position to compete this season when the team made some trades and cut payroll in the offseason, but things are looking up.
Here are five (alliterative) reasons that the American League Central ...
