Posted: 27th March 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
The Browns are loaded with low round draft picks, but only have one pick in each of the first two rounds.
With 12 picks total, there's little reason not to think the Browns are going to trade up at some point, and the most logical place to do that would be the second round.
Plus, with the Browns in the market for a quarterback, there will be a lot of competition ...

Posted: 27th March 2010 by Joel Dundas in NHL
It is about time that we see a shift in power. It has become increasingly clear that the likes of Gary Bettman and Colin Campbell do not have the best interests of the players at heart.

Too Early for the Minnesota Vikings and Donovan McNabb to Hook-Up
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Michael Vichael in NFL
As a Vikes fan, at face value it's nice to hear that a great QB like the Eagles' Donovan McNabb would express privately that if traded, his first choice would be to reconnect with his old OC Brad Childress in Minnesota.Unfortunately, it won't happen. Not this year. For the Vikings, it would be like pursuing a serious relationship with your ex-wife while being married.Reports of Brett Favre's demise are premature. ...

There was a time when the “close, but no cigar” shoe was on another foot—that of the Los Angeles Lakers, now one of the league’s most storied franchises.
Having won five titles while playing in Minneapolis, the Lakers joined the growing sports landscape in L.A. prior to the 1960 season. Their excellence ...
If you watched the recent NFL Scouting Combine, you may have seen a guy at the linebacker position that stood out among the rest of the group. Not only did he stand out because he dressed in white Under Armour pants and shirt but because he had a positive attitude during the event and was noticed throughout the entire process. He has really made a name for himself.
On the upside, ...
Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Ryan Anderson, Orlando Magic Anderson had a strong showing against the Wolves with 19 points and 9 rebounds. It was a nice effort, but he shouldn’t be counted on in the fantasy playoffs.
Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia 76ers Holiday continues to shine. He had 13 points, 12 assists, and 7 steals against the Hawks.

The NFL Draft is fast approaching. The New England Patriots have four picks in the first two rounds of what is considered a fairly deep pool. Some positions the Patriots need help at include the secondary, pass rushing defensive linemen and/or linebackers, and tight end. One player that Head Coach Bill Belichick likes, however, is quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow is arguably one of the best college football ...
