Why Lebron Is Better Than Kobe And Why He Will Be the Best

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Josh guerrero in NBA
The following are reasons why I believe that LeBron James is a better basketball player than Kobe Bryant and why he will go down as the best player to play in the NBA. Kobe already has more turnovers then Jordan. LeBron is the more talented athlete and is not even in his prime. On average, players are in their prime at the age of 27 and LeBron is only 25. Lebron has broken numerous ...

NFL Mock Draft 3.0: C.J. Spiller on the Rise, Earl Thomas Tumbling

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Michael Pinto in NFL
As we approach the NFL Draft, the early picks have been dominated by defensive players in mocks from around the web. Much of the year, the talk has been about which defensive tackle will be selected first, Ndamukong Suh or Gerald McCoy. But the general consensus is that the Rams will pass on both with the first overall selection and go the route of Sam Bradford. Picks 1-3 are ...

Pete Rose or Steroids: Which Is Baseball’s Biggest Sin?

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Eric Ball in MLB
No sport uses the word "purity" as much as baseball. Fans are obsessed with the idea and hold its athletes to a higher standard than the NBA, or NFL. So when a player does something to hurt the integrity of the game—outrage ensues. Pete Rose gambled on the Reds for four plus years as the player/manager of the Reds in the late 1980's. He directly affected the outcome of the ...

Will Blake DeWitt Be the Dodgers’ Starting Second Baseman in 2010?

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Justin Markowitz in MLB
Blake DeWitt is, without a doubt, having no trouble smashing the ball this spring. DeWitt is hitting a strong .368, with 2 home runs, and 5 RBI while playing 14 games and having 38 at-bats.  There is only one small problem that he is having: fielding the ball. His lack of fielding is quite a problem, considering he is playing second base, which is a position known to get a lot ...

I love this time of year! NFL teams are trading away, March Madness is going strong, and the Draft is now less than five weeks away. Not only is the NFL Draft the best time of the year, but it’s a chance for everybody’s team to get better and it’s our sneak peek at the stars of tomorrow. This is actually Mock Draft Version 3.0 for me and while there have ...
The Senior Bowl and Combine are in the rear-view mirror and the Pro Days are at the midway point, meaning it is time to check in and see who stock is on fire and whose stock is icing down. This week we look at the offensive side of the ball.   On Fire QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma Coming out of a spread offense and offseason shoulder surgery, Bradford has established himself as the near consensus ...
The Yankees placed Chad Gaudin on waivers today, and I'm not sure that was the right course of action. After this move, it looks like the bullpen will shape up as follows: Mariano Rivera Joba Chamberlain/Phil Hughes Alfredo Aceves  David Robertson Damaso Marte  Chan Ho Park Sergie Mitre Chamberlain, Hughes, Aceves, and Robertson all have options remaining—and they could be sent down with no repercussions to start the season. The Yankees will probably place ...

Minnesota-San Jose: Sharks Chomp Wild 4-1

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Nick Maxson in NHL
With a spectacular performance from the "Big Three" and goaltender Evgeni Nabokov, San Jose beat Minnesota in St. Paul 4-1. San Jose came out and set the pace to start the game, pushing the puck up ice and putting lots of pressure down low. The pressure pays off early as Joe Pavelski lasered a snap shot top shelf on Niklas Backstrom to take the lead just five minutes into the game. The Sharks, ...
The naysayers may get their happy ending after all. The collapse may have finally begun. With 10 games left in the regular season, the Colorado Avalanche, once poised to take the Northwest Division title, find themselves sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference, only five points ahead of ninth place Calgary. In a season where the talk of the town has been the squad's young talent, very little of that talent ...
In his most recent press conference, Cleveland Browns President Mike Holmgren addressed many issues. He discussed the quarterback situation and why he traded Brady Quinn and Kamerion Wimbley. He also talked about the need for speed at the wide receiver position. Holmgren said he likes Massaquoi and Robiskie, and he believes they can develop into solid NFL players. He did not, however, downplay the team's need for help at the wide ...
