Dear Al Davis: Please Bring Donovan Mcnabb to the Oakland Raiders
Posted: 27th March 2010 by SR in NFL
Dear Al Davis,
I'm a huge fan of your work, Mr. Davis. I believe without question you are the best owner in the NFL today, and the greatest of all time. Regardless of whether or not you decide to bring Donovan McNabb to the Oakland Raiders, I will still support the sliver and black. I haven't missed a home game in three years. I love going to games, and keeping up ...
NBA Basketball: Why Is It So Different From NCAA Hoops?
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Henry Bell in NBA
There are many differences between the college game and the NBA game. One is that they are on totally different levels. But, the main one, which I have seen, is the level of effort put into the game.
In the NBA, basketball is what the players do. It's their job. They play the game almost every day and night.
In College, well it's not exactly the same. They do play basketball ...
In my first article I discussed possible draft picks for the Packers in what one could argue was its position of greatest need—offensive tackle.
This article is focused on the team's most glaring need on defense— corner-back. The Packers successfully switched to a 3-4 defense last year and had the defensive player of the year, Charles Woodson.
However, the secondary did not hold up well against elite quarterbacks like Brett Favre, ...
Three Reasons Why Travis Wood Should Be the Cincinnati Reds Fifth Starter
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Kyle Schnitzer in MLB
There’s nothing I like seeing more than a pitcher develop over the years. I’m not a fan of throwing a guy into the Major League experience with nothing prior to show for. You always see organizations rush players because of spring training stats. Usually, those players do well and then a debacle occurs. This situation has presented itself this season with the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds are dealing with ...
Will Lightning Strike Twice for Seattle Seahawks at QB Position ?
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Tommy Bertolino in NFL
Yes, that’s our very own Matt Hasselbeck wearing No. 11 and under center for the Green Bay Packers. Maybe lightning will strike twice with hopefully this time, our new QB, Charlie Whitehurst, hoisting a Lombardi.
I wrote this after the Whitehurst trade but was tired of talking trade, but thought I'd post it now to further clarify any confusion and highlight the similarities.
1. Timing of the trade
Mike Holmgren worked the deal with ...
Waite Hoyt won 22 games for the 1927 New York Yankees. Hoyt spent 10 seasons with the Yankees, winning 157 games before being sent to Detroit in 1930. Although he played for many teams, including the three New York teams, Hoyt was a Yankee.
The Cocky Chicago Cubs In 1938, Waite was pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers against the soon-to-be ...
Arizona Diamondbacks Continue Rewarding Season Ticket Holders
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Jeff Summers in MLB
Earlier this week I received an e-mail from the Arizona Diamondbacks Season Ticket Holder Services group. In the e-mail they outlined another new benefit for being a season ticket holder. In our season ticket holder package we received a voucher to be redeemed at Chase Field during any home game in April or May.
The voucher is good for a “Fan Loyalty Cup” and can be picked up at the ...
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim’s Scott Kazmir was scratched from his start on Thursday against the Texas Rangers because of a stiff throwing shoulder.
In other words, Kazmir is hurt.
Here are some other things are that are guaranteed to happen:
Nick Johnson will land on the DL at some point during the season
Lost will throw in a new twist every week
Gus Johnson’s head will explode on a game-winning shot
The Pittsburgh ...
In the NFL, teams and players have come and gone but, something that lives on forever in people's memories is the jerseys. Whether they were awesome and made you want to own your own or, how ugly they were and how much you want to tell your friends about the disgusting things they players put over their shoulder pads. In this article, we will count down the five best and ...
2010 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: A Player to Watch From Every Team
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Lewie Pollis in MLB
It happens every year.
An established veteran suffers from injuries or a heralded youngster isn't up to the task at hand. An overlooked rookie or a career benchwarmer gets some at-bats at the starter's expense and suddenly finds his groove.
A good game becomes two good games, and a few days later is labelled a bona fide hot streak. By the end of the week, he appears on fantasy rosters nationwide, and ...
