The Minnesota Vikings have just signed free agent Mike Montgomery from the Green Bay Packers. Am I the only one who sees a slight phenomenon here? In 2005, Darren Sharper, who has been argued to be one of the finest DB's in the league, decided to join the purple and gold. Sharper didn't have a grudge against the Pack or anything like that, he just felt that he deserved the money ...
With Buster Posey remaining in the San Francisco Giants' camp, the idea of him actually opening the season on the major league roster is becoming more of a reality. Does it make sense to have one of your premier prospects simply watching from the sideline instead of getting at-bats at Triple-A? Not in the slightest, but that’s not what we’re here to discuss. There is the potential that he plays two to ...
Rumors abound about a potential trade that would bring Donovan McNabb to Oakland. Whether true or not, it has unleashed a firestorm of speculation and opinion within Raider Nation. Should this trade actually take place, it could have a profound effect on several people within the organization. This slide show will look at the people that McNabb's presence would impact the most in no particular order. I'll be focusing only on the ...
To quote Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes via Twitter towards a fellow member: "y u tryna make me look like the bad guy. U shud try finding the worst thing that you could drink n kill urself." The message, directed towards member DMKayser, probably resulted from what might have been a hostile comment directed towards Holmes regarding his current legal situation. Nevertheless, it is a development that is sweeping across the ...
The Chicago Bears have not been subtle in their attempt to move starting defensive end Alex Brown. It was rumored early on that he was being shopped around. Then Lovie Smith confirmed it at the NFL Owners meetings last Wednesday that Brown was available if the price was right. Since then, it seems that the Bears threw logic to the wind. They let on that if they could not find a suitable deal, they ...
Upon reading the headline of this article, you are sitting there saying to yourself that I’m an idiot. I’m sure most are only reading this to merely find out how stupid I possibly could be that I would have the audacity to say a middle reliever leaving is going to have more impact than the loss of a former Cy Young winner. Just hear me out on this. Cliff Lee was, and is, ...

Why Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City Are Renewing Interest in the NBA

Posted: 31st March 2010 by Barking Carnival in NBA
The Thunder are thundering down the stretch, having just dispatched the execrable 76ers in Philly by 19. My favorite atmospheric disturbance is now 45-28, playoff locked and roster loaded, and firmly in the mix to plant anywhere from a No. 3 to a No. 8 seed in the competitive, fertile West. I just combined phrases evoking meteorology, gunnery, and agriculture, all in the ...

2010 NFL Mock Draft: Tennessee Titans Choose Boise State DB Kyle Wilson

Posted: 31st March 2010 by James Williamson in NFL
  This is a very simple pick really. According to my mock, every defensive tackle/end that is worthy of the 16th overall pick is gone off the board, so despite having a great need on the defensive line especially since Kyle Vanden Bosch is now a Detroit Lion, I’m going to address the secondary issue. The Titans were 32nd in defense when it came to passes attempted against them, 31st in passing ...
Once upon a time, the 49ers signed a high profile cornerback—no, not that one. This cornerback had been named to seven Pro-Bowls, was a five-time First-team All-Pro selection, and was the 1993 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The cornerback of course, was Rod Woodson. But something seemed to happen to Woodson when he arrived in San Francisco, he wasn’t the player he ...

NFL Mock Draft: 10 Steps To Rebuilding The St. Louis Rams

Posted: 31st March 2010 by Samuel Ingro in NFL
It's no secret that the Rams have been in the cellar for quite a few seasons now. This year, however, they're looking at a very unique opportunity. With the No. 1 selection in the upcoming NFL Draft, the Rams are slated to take Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford. To that I say, wrong prospect, right school. The Rams' needs far surpass one position, and putting Bradford, who has an injury ...
