Stockton vs Nash: Which Point Guard Would You Start Your Franchise With?
Posted: 26th March 2010 by Steven Resnick in NBA
I was reading an article the other day on Steve Nash and how he's not slowing down at the age of 36.
This led me to make some comments on the subject and see what other NBA fans had too say about Nash's abilities at 36.
There was one comment that just made me shake my head...
Someone suggested that Nash was better than John Stockton.
I've never been a fan of Utah or ...
So Dad called us to say today. "Go and see 'The Blind Side' - Mum and I have just come from seeing it, and I had tears in my eyes," he said. That got us thinking. First of all, we loved "Friday Night Lights" , Texas-based football. The TV series was pretty damned good, too.
There is no better mix out there than high school, insanely hot girls, teen drama, ...

Alright B/R fans. You asked for it, so here it is: Round 2 of our Fans Draft. Round 1 was a success, and we’ll expect nothing less this time around.
Hopefully this will give fans a chance to get an idea of what the second round could look like, and also help pass the time until the real thing happens in April.

2010 NFL Draft: Should the Steelers Bother With the Later Rounds?
Posted: 26th March 2010 by steeler junky in NFL
Why do NFL teams even bother with the later rounds in the draft?
Ever since Kevin Colbert became director of football operations in 2000, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been considered one of the most successful teams in drafting new talent.
Have they done maybe even a little better since Mike Tomlin became the head coach in 2007? It is hard to know for sure. The jury is still out on some of the players ...
Its Just A Logo, Right? Did Lack Of Team Pride Doom Sixers?

When players suit up for game time in Los Angeles, they know that the purple and gold uniforms they don have been worn proudly by many of the greatest talents to ever touch the hardwood.
They know that they have been tasked with the awesome responsibility of carrying on the winning tradition of a franchise that has never gone longer than a decade without at least making an NBA Finals appearance.
When ...
LeBron James: Supreme Confidence Or Straddling The Line Of Arrogance?
Posted: 26th March 2010 by Hadarii Jones in NBA
When LeBron James refused to shake friend and fellow Olympian's Dwight Howard's hand after the Cleveland Cavaliers' loss in the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals, many observers chalked it up to the pain of his defeat.
Even though one of the first things taught when competing in sporting events is the value of sportsmanship and the ability to accept defeat gracefully, "King James" was nonetheless given a pass for his indiscretion.
In what ...
Warriors Find Themselves Three Succesful D-League Players
Posted: 26th March 2010 by Yama Hazheer in NBA
With the amount of injuries the Golden State Warriors have had this season, it's only reasonable that they try to recruit some new, young players from the NBA's Developmental League. Five players have been called up from the D-League this year by Golden State, which is tied for the most D-League call ups for a team in one season. Three out of the five players have been signed for the ...
2010 NFL Draft Debate: Eric Berry or Gerald McCoy for Tampa Bay
Posted: 26th March 2010 by Chris Maier in NFL
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are still feeling the pains of rebuilding. After years of Jon Gruden building this football team with bargain basement free agents in their mid-30s, the Bucs decided to go with a youth movement in 2009.
The result: a 3-13 record.
Tampa, however, has a promising young quarterback in Josh Freeman and a talented offensive line. The defense needs some work, though. If Ndamakong Suh ...
Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce to you the St. Louis Rams first round choice Ndamukong Suh. I know that many experienced analysts have been predicting that Sam Bradford will be drafted first overall, but I believe Suh will be picked.
I don't disagree with their analysis on this incredible individual that has been slamming the air waves of every football talk show. But is Sam Bradford the answer, or is the Rams' ...
Houston Rockets Look to Next Year: Time to Play It Safe
Posted: 26th March 2010 by Patrick Harrel in NBA
Just over two weeks ago on March 9, two key Rockets, Kyle Lowry and Trevor Ariza, returned from injuries and helped the Rockets start a four-game winning streak. All was going well, and the Rockets' playoff hopes were increasing by the day as the team was finally able to mesh after the addition of Kevin Martin.
Then Shane Battier got injured and Jordan Hill, Jared Jeffries, and Kevin Martin soon followed ...
