Charlie Whitehurst: Seattle’s QB of the Future or Placeholder?
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
The Seahawks payed a premium, swapping second-round picks and giving up a third next year, to acquire Charlie Whitehurst. The moves that they made after that are somewhat puzzling.
They only gave Whitehurst a two-year contract, which seems a little short for a player that you gave up a third-round pick and moved down 20 spots for.
That makes me question whether or not they think that he is the QB of the ...
I thought of writing this article after the Celtics lost to the Spurs. When these two teams play, they have a very similar style of play. The best players in the same position, as well as two gifted and talented young point guards.
I would like to discuss their teams by position:
1) center
The Boston Celtics have one heck of a center in Kendrick Perkins, a serious strong, but undersized bigman. If he was ...
The Niners are coming into the draft with two first round picks and everyone is expecting results. They're hoping to slip past the depleted Arizona Cardinals and win the NFC West.
The Niners still have a few missing pieces from the puzzle called the playoffs however. They need defensive backs, an offensive tackle and a kick returner. Here are nine players that could help the Niners get back to the ...
Same Face, New Place: Just Where Will Marion Barber Land in 2010?
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Ryan Cook in NFL
With the mix of free agency speculation beginning to die down, and the NFL Draft fresh and glowing on the horizon, the most important part of the offseason begins. The possibility of players being place on the trading block is in full blast.
At the moment, Donovan McNabb has been the headline grabber. Possibly leaving Philadelphia and arriving at a more unpredictable type team. All eyes are on the quarterback ...
I'm back for round three of my fantasy preview for the 2010 season. This time I'm going to take a look at the San Diego Chargers.
The Chargers finished an impressive 13-3 in 2009 and took first in the AFC West. San Diego's offense flew high last year, especially with Philip Rivers slinging the ball down the field. A few questions are arising for the Bolts and their lack ...
Why Gio Gonzalez Should Be in the Oakland A’s Starting Rotation
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Robert Slye Jr. in MLB
Going into spring training, the Oakland Athletics had a highly touted battle for the fifth rotation spot between Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez, and Vin Mazzaro. Truth be told, I'm not sure how many people ever considered it a three-man race.
Cahill had just completed a full year at the major league level, Gonzalez has shown he has nothing left to prove in Triple-A, and all Mazzaro has done at the ...
In contemporary America, they are known as the Nationals, and to many, as the six year purgatory that Stephen Strasburg, and soon Bryce Harper, will begin their likely long, successful careers in.
In the 1980's, however, these Nationals we know and love (to play) were in Montreal, and were home to some very good players, most notably future Hall of Famers Gary Carter and Andre Dawson.
In Tim Raines, we may eventually ...
NBA Power Rankings: Cavs Remain No. 1, but There Is a New No. 30

Does it get any better for a sports fan?
Baseball is about ready to start its season, we are winding down March Madness, the Masters is around the corner—with Tiger, and World Cup fever is starting to boil. Add the coming NBA Playoffs and you have a sports-lovers paradise.
The NBA season is long, with games seemingly mattering more at the beginning and end of the season. The middle of the ...
Finding unsung heroes in the Yankees' landscape is difficult business.
If you do something noteworthy in New York, chances are you'll be remembered for it. Just ask Aaron Boone, who will be signing photographs of aging knuckleballers for the rest of his life.
This isn't a bad thing, mind you. Boone deserves his fame, just like Stéphane Matteau, Jim Leyritz, and Mookie Wilson deserve theirs.
Combine a knowledgeable fanbase and a competitive media ...
Minnesota Vikings To Make Adam “Pacman” Jones Their Next Project?
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Brandon Erickson in NFL
The thought is crazy, right? Pacman with arguably the most wildest personality of the NFL today. Signing with the Vikings? Blasphemy!
The Vikings are now less then a mere month until they select the 30th pick in the 2010 draft, one of the more talented drafts in recent memory. With that 30th pick, the Vikings are projected to likely add depth to their cornerbacks with a selection of possibly former Boise State ...
