Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Mike Miller in NHL
A couple of weeks back, my son came to me and said he had a project due for school. He’s 12 years old and in sixth grade.
The project is titled “Wax Museum.” Participants pick out famous people—actors, presidents, sports icons, whomever they wish—and portray them for one day at school.
My son wanted my opinion on which person he should choose. He asked if it was okay if he did his ...
Rick Carlisle is well-regarded in the basketball world as a fantastic coach, especially coaching out of the time-out.
His accomplishments stand at winning the 2002 Coach of the Year Award, leading the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals, leading the "Malice at the Palace" Pacers to the second round of the playoffs, and leading an overachieving Mavericks team into the second round of the playoffs last ...
For the most part, White Sox players go completely overlooked when it comes to fantasy baseball.
In most seasons, the entire White Sox starting staff can be found on waivers after a draft.
This year, however, the White Sox are producing a lot of possible sleepers...but like all sleepers, they come with their share of possible buyer's remorse.
Pick your poison, or perhaps a gold cup of fantasy championship, with Juan Pierre, Gordon ...

CBS Sports Fantasy Really Does Outstrip The Competition
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Peter Douglas in MLB
How many leagues are you joining this year?
Last year I loosely participated in no fewer than 26 fantasy leagues. I’ve played on ESPN, Sporting News, Fox, and CBS Sports.
By the All-Star break, I was following three leagues. That’s how fantasy works sometimes. When you overdraft and over-commit, you set yourself up to lose interest when life catches up with you.
Those three leagues I maintained from start to finish were my ...
The Milwaukee Bucks Can No Longer Be Ignored by the NBA or Its Fans
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Jesse Motiff in NBA
For the better part of the last decade the Milwaukee Bucks were a joke of an NBA franchise.
Owner Herb Kohl held open a revolving door for general managers and coaches. He also refused to spend any significant amount of money on player transactions.
The only major money spent on a free agent was Bobby Simmons, who turned out to be a bust for the team. Kohl gave franchise money to Michael ...
