Brian Rafalski Doesn’t Like Tennessee’s Way of Doing Business

Posted: 28th March 2010 by Kyle W. Brown in NHL
This is a bit of a weird story coming out, hiding in the back pages of sports sections. It seems that Detroit Red Wings' and US Olympic team defenseman Brian Rafalski is tired of Tennessee taking his money for being a professional athlete. The issue stems from a new law that was introduced last summer, which essentially states that any professional athlete who plays a game in the ...

Posted: 28th March 2010 by Broadway Hockey Daily in NHL
Not only did the Rangers suffer a frustrating loss last night in Toronto, but one of their players who has actually been playing well lately, Sean Avery, injured his knee during a collision while chasing the puck going into the end boards. He is questionable for Tuesday’s game in Long Island. Here’s more from Larry Brooks of the NY Post : But it came to an end at 12:45 of the second ...

The New NFL Overtime of Second Chances

Posted: 28th March 2010 by Alex Kantecki in NFL
Don’t worry, National League Football fans. Even if Brett Favre decides to hang up his cleats immediately before or long after the 2010 season concludes, the legendary antics of No. 4 on and off the field will never be forgotten. When the oft-described risk taker decided to throw across his body in the final minute of the NFC Championship game against the New Orleans Saints, not ...
Red Sox manager Terry Francona has announced his starting rotation when the team breaks camp for the regular season. There are no big surprises, as Josh Beckett will be the 'ace' of the staff, leading off. Dice K Matsuzaka simplified things by needing extra time to prepare for the 2010 season, making the number five spot an easy choice for Francona. The Sox will start the season with Beckett facing the ...

All Signs Point To Donovan McNabb Joining the Oakland Raiders

Posted: 28th March 2010 by TIM PETERSON in NFL
The idea of Al Davis trading Nnamdi Asomugha and a second-round draft pick (No.39) for veteran QB Donovan McNabb isn’t as far fetched as some experts suggest. ESPN “rumor monger” Adam Schefter outlined an important detail about McNabb’s contract situation.     On May 5th Philadelphia will owe No. 5 a hefty $6.2 million roster bonus. And contrary to what Eagles' coach Andy Reid said this past week, McNabb is not the ...

Now Or Never For Fading Flyers

Posted: 28th March 2010 by Michael Maxwell in NHL
Certainly, there has been no shortage of adversity for these Flyers this season.    The team has endured a coaching change, injuries to their top three (or four) goalies and their leading scorer, plenty of spats with the local media, and a recent avalanche of questionable officiating.    They come into tonight’s game at home against New Jersey having won only twice in their last ten and sporting a five game losing streak.  It ...

2010 MLB Predictions: AL Central Preview

Posted: 28th March 2010 by John Frascella in MLB
The American League Central will likely be the worst division in baseball this year. According to my calculations (which basically involve ranking every player and the managers), the AL Central will combine for 375 wins, equaling an average of 75 wins per team. Yikes. Let's see why this division projects poorly...   5. Cleveland Indians Projected record: 62-100, 28th in infield, 12th in outfield, 29th in starting pitching, 20th in bullpen. The Indians have some ...

Toronto Raptors Post All-Star Break Player Updates

Posted: 28th March 2010 by Stephen Brotherston in NBA
Since Bosh was injured in the game after the All-Star break, the Toronto Raptors have struggled, posting a 6-13 mark that includes just one win against a playoff-bound team. The once powerful Raptor offense has all but vanished, and the oft-maligned Raptors defense has been trying to set new lows. The one-time fifth-place Raptors have fallen to eighth and only remain in the playoff hunt thanks to a Chicago 10-game losing streak. But ...
