How Mike Singletary Has Been Smart with His Quarterbacks
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Alec Adams in NFL
Many San Francisco 49ers fans have been arguing with each other about whether Mike Singletary and the front office have done a good job dealing with the team's quarterbacks. It's not about what moves they could make, because they've already made their moves at quarterback. Before you start to argue about that, let me explain.
Potential Starting Quarterback for the 49ers:
1). Donovan McNabb
"I'm always going to use words like "probably" because ...
To the casual baseball fan, I guarantee this looks comically stupid; however, knowledgeable ones won’t be so quick to mock this. While the Orioles appear to be at least a year away from contention, stranger things have happened, right?
Look at the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays. People knew that they could be on the cusp of success, but no one thought they were going to be what they were in ...
The 2009 NBA Draft is almost a year old now so we decided to take a look back at the players drafted in the lottery and see whether or not they were worthy of their selections.
Some decisions may have looked good at the time, but in the end, some teams definitely would take a mulligan.
We're giving them exactly that and calling a redo on the lottery of ...
Phoenix Suns: Playoff Hopes Rest on Back of Robin Lopez
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Evan Anderson in NBA
With ten games left to play in their season, the Phoenix Suns have surprised not only most of their fans but also some in the national media with their post All-Star Game surge.
Since the All-Star Game, Phoenix has won 20 of 25 games and pulled to within one and a half games of the Dallas Mavericks for the two seed in the Western Conference playoff race.
Not bad for a team that was picked ...
Philadelphia Eagles Flying Below the Radar: Cornerback Geoffrey Pope
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Leo Pizzini in NFL
Who is Geoffrey Pope and what is he doing on our roster?
I'd bet half of Eagles nation didn't even know this guy was on our team and for good reason. It was early in 2009 when the Eagles released the ineffective Jack Ikegwuonu and made the move for Pope.
Pope was picked up from the Bengals' practice squad and added to the Eagles' thinning cornerback depth chart. The Bengals had activated and ...
Nate Robertson Trade Bodes Well for Dontrelle Willis, Jeremy Bonderman
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Joshua Worn in MLB
If nothing, this was a sign of trust in Dontrelle Willis and Jeremy Bonderman.
Because what the Tigers did on Tuesday—dealing left-hander Nate Robertson to the Florida Marlins for left-hander Jay Voss—was nothing short of a release.
Did anyone really think otherwise?
The Tigers are paying $9.6 million of his $10-million salary this year and are virtually giving the payroll-sensitive Marlins the left-handed starter that they desperately needed.
But all the financial obligations aside, what ...
The combine is over. Free agency is here but the Raiders have been pretty quiet. One trade for an Outside Linebacker. The time has come for Mr. Davis to make his move. This mock draft will reflect just that. I see the Raiders making three very big trades.
This is going to be a huge off season for the Raiders. Mr. Davis has been taking his time to make ...
The consensus is that the first three positions discussed in this series—tackle, linebacker, and cornerback—were the ones of greatest need and those the team should look to the draft to upgrade: The reason they have become needs is the team has reached a point of diminishing returns for at least one player at each position because of age.
The reality is that the Packers biggest need is actually special teams. The ...
Every spring, there are a handful of questions that each team faces and must resolve before the start of the regular season.
Often these questions revolve around how to set the lineup and many times start with who will be the team's leadoff hitter.
For the teams that had the 10 guys that follow on this list, that was never an issue, as you could pencil them in atop the lineup ...
With Yao Ming being non-committal about the subject of opting out this summer, the Rockets have been thrown for a loop. While the vast majority of basketball experts expected Yao would opt-in for the final year of his contract because of his injury issues this year, uncertainty regarding the CBA situation has caused Yao to reconsider.
Before anyone panics, however, the likelihood that Yao is in any jersey except a Rockets ...
