After an abysmal start to the 2010 season that involved a crazy "musical chairs" development at the quarterback position, the Cleveland Browns somehow managed to salvage the ending of their season, and kept Eric Mangini from getting fired.
Of course, "salvaging" a season when your final record is 5-11 isn't quite as inspiring when you actually make the playoffs.
Still, Eric Mangini appeared to finally have a solid hold on his ...
With Opening Day only six days away, I thought it would be appropriate to see what the record books have to say about the Cincinnati Reds on the first game of the year. At the present time, adequate records only take us back to 1952. This game will be against the St. Louis Cardinals against whom the Reds are 8-7. Since 1952 the Reds are 30-27-1 in their ...

Posted: 30th March 2010 by Glenn Franco Simmons in NFL
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has performed superbly as commissioner, but he and the NFL owners laid a rotten egg with the new overtime rule. On Sirius NFL Radio, former 49ers center Randy Cross mocked the change. "I was sure glad that ... we cleared up this whole overtime and the playoffs," Cross said.

Since the Portland Trail Blazers lost in embarrassing fashion to the Utah Jazz at the end of Feb., they have lost only three times (two of those against Western Conferen playoff teams). Perhaps a combination of an easier schedule, more time off, a healthier Brandon Roy, and solidified starting unit, the Blazers are finally taking care of business heading down the home stretch, and all but guaranteeing their spot in ...
Looking at Lamar Odom's massive 6'10'' frame, you don't imagine too many things could hurt the guy.
Although, if you look past the big smile and sit down to listen to his story, it is enough to leave you speechless. Coming from extreme humble beginnings, Odom has shown extreme perseverance in overcoming extremely tough obstacles in his life.
After finding his love for basketball, Odom never looked back. He ...
Analyzing Brandon Marshall’s Possible Trade Destinations, Fantasy Impact
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Dave Stringer in NFL
With the Denver Broncos choosing to place a first round tender on Brandon Marshall, the wide receiver was expected to receive plenty of attention as free agency opened. Surprisingly, that hasn’t happened and a player who has had three straight 100-reception seasons has made only one free agent visit.
With the rookie draft approaching, the chances of a team signing Marshall to an offer sheet prior to the April 15th deadline ...

Seriously.
The title says it all.
If you want to know who the biggest off-season acquisition was for the Minnesota Wild, look no further than the man with the number six emblazoned on the back of his ...
A lot has been said about the Reds and their "young" talent. While there are many prospects in the organization with untapped potential, there are also veterans with a wealth of knowledge and experience. If the regulars can stay relatively healthy, the infield is one area that Dusty Baker should not have to worry about much this season.
Joey Votto was on his way to a MVPNNAP (Most Valuable Player Not ...
