Some NFL fans may like these changes and some may not, but that's why Bleacher Report allows you the opportunity to comment and vent your frustration or pleasure regarding your favorite team's pick(s).

The Phoenix Coyotes Are Playoff Bound Due To One “Great” Off Season Move
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Blake Benzel in NHL
As if you needed any help seeing that the Phoenix Coyotes are a much improved team this season, take a gander at their stats.
They’re in the playoffs for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
They’re third in the NHL in points with 100, and it just so happens that this marks their first 100+ point season in franchise history.
Despite being in the bottom 10 of goals per game, they are ...
Prospect Update: ’09 2nd Round Pick Werek Out With Torn ACL
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Broadway Hockey Daily in NHL
Selected by the Rangers in the second round (47th pick) of last year’s draft, Ethan Werek has done nothing but impress this season. With 30 goals and 63 points in 57 games, the 18-year old forward has been one of the few bright spots on a forgettable Kingston Frontenacs team. Unfortunately for both Werek and his team, the Ontario native’s season may have come to an end at the worst ...

June 20, 1993; game six of the 1993 NBA Finals
Chicago Bulls vs. Phoenix Suns
With about six seconds remaining in the game, Chicago's Horace Grant kicks it out to a wide open John Paxson, who is standing patiently behind the three-point line.
Paxson receives the pass and quickly drills the shot from downtown to give the Bulls a 99-98 lead.
And after Grant blocks Kevin Johnson's shot seconds later, the horn sounds, and ...

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Taylor Smith in NBA
The NBA regular season has three weeks remaining and the scramble for the playoff seeding in the Western Conference is still a mess.
The Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, and Phoenix Suns are all within one game of each other, while the Spurs, Thunder, and Trail Blazers are all tied.
Out East, the under-.500 Raptors and Bulls are fighting for the final playoff spot, with Toronto holding a slim half-game lead.

The Flyers have never drafted a future star defenseman.
Mark Howe did not change that.
But that is only because he was not drafted by the team. He was drafted 25th overall by the Boston Bruins in 1974, and after spending time in the WHA, he finally joined the NHL after the WHA folded in 1980. He never did play a game for the Boston Bruins.
Being the son of the great Mr. ...
The Race Is Over; Stephen Curry Is the 2009-2010 ROY
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Jose Salviati in NBA
Much like the horse that made a mad rush out of the last turn to take a surprising victory away from the favorite, Stephen Curry has edged Tyreke Evans by a nose to become this year's ROY. Case closed. End of story. The ROY award has been prematurely handed out twice already this season. First it was Brandon Jennings who was touted as the top rookie seven games ...
With the 2010 Draft approaching quickly, we know a lot of you cannot seem to acquire enough draft-related information and predictions.
Today, we are detailing which prospects from this class will wind up being considered the best at their position once their careers are all said and done. In Part I, we take a look at those players on the offensive side of the ball.
QB: Tim Tebow ...
Despite having the World Series Champions of 2008 in the division, I very much thought that the NL East was there for the taking last season.
It wouldn’t be easy, but it was winnable for four teams in my mind.
This year, I think the Philadelphia Phillies are the clear favorites and it will take over-achievement from other teams to knock them down. They are good enough to run away ...

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Mike Burse in NHL
Since the end of the lockout that saw the NHL not play the 2004-05 season shootouts have become a common occurance in the NHL. They provide important ponts for those teams in the playoff picture.
Here is a look at the top 10 shooters in NHL shootouts for the 2009-10 season. A minimum of 10 shootout shots is required to make this list. Without further deliberation, let's move on to ...
