Effective immediately, I will begin blogging anew at my new Web site, www.MLBfreeagency.com . Thanks to the wonderful people at the bloguin network, the new site has been developed very quickly, looks sharp (I think). I believe we have a strong ...
Just Saying, Is All… | The Real Conspiracy Against Kobe Bryant
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Ryan Alberti in NBA
Pity the victim of his own imagination.
Kobe Bryant fans are fiercely loyal. They’re also mildly paranoid. Whenever an anti-Kobe article is published anywhere on the Web, supporters of the Los Angeles Lakers guard rush to his defense crying “Media conspiracy!”—which would be better news if they didn’t so often misread the threat in their haste.
Nobility means comforting the afflicted.
Neurosis, on the other hand, means afflicting the comfortable.
I’m not suggesting that ...

It has been a difficult year for Wilson Chandler on and off the court. His grandfather passed away a few weeks ago and he has missed the last four games due to a left groin injury. The Knicks are considering shutting him down for the rest of the season.
Chandler is a very talented player but also a very attractive trading piece. He is turning 23-years-old in May and will ...

The Yankees cut five more players from the big league camp yesterday: outfielder Greg Golson, righties Mark Melancon and Jonathan Albaladejo, and infielders Juan Miranda and Kevin Russo, according to Marc Carig of The Star-Ledger.
The cuts of Miranda and Russo have pretty much cemented the Opening Day bench, ensuring a spot for Ramiro Pena.
Backup catcher possibility Mike Rivera is still in camp, but the consensus has always been that ...
Pittsburgh Steelers: Time To Unite Again Over Ben Roethlisberger Allegations
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Nick Signorelli in NFL
On March 5, with the second set of allegations against Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault in less than a year, there was an amazing division between Steelers Nation. One that was so large, none I have ever seen even comes close to comparing to it.
For weeks, without new information in any way, shape, or form, Steeler Nation has chosen their side, and fought for it.
On the one side, led by Todd ...
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ All-Time Starting Rotation
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Jonathan Stilwell in MLB
Imagine you were chosen to select an all-time rotation and pitching staff for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Who would you select? Who would make your all-time pitching staff?
Your fantasy team would then have to compete against all of the other all-time rotations and teams selected. How would it fare?
The rules are simple. In order to be eligible, a starting pitcher must have pitched 1,000 innings for the team. They may ...
Philadelphia Eagles fans have been frustrated with the team's lack of activity during the 2010 free agency period. With several obvious needs apparent to the fan base, the Eagles brass has elected to pursue only a couple low profile free agents.
At the same time, the team has released and allowed several other players to depart, increasing the number of roster spots that need to be plugged. It seems universally acknowledged ...

The trade rumors continued to swirl about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb when head coach Andy Reid released to the media how the team was “entertaining and evaluating” all offers for the six-time Pro Bowler, as described in an article from ESPN.com.
“I’m listening [to offers] out there,” Reid said Wednesday at the NFC coaches media breakfast, according to Philly.com. “I’m not saying I’m doing anything. But we’re keeping our ears ...
Tyler Colvin on Verge of Making Cubs: Alfonso Soriano Could Lose Playing Time
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Matt Trueblood in MLB
Young outfielder Tyler Colvin will make the Chicago Cubs' Opening Day roster if the team can find him sufficient playing time, according to manager Lou Piniella . Colvin, 24, would need to get somewhere in the neighborhood of two starts per week in order to justify keeping him on board, by Piniella's reckoning.
Colvin was the team's 2006 first-round pick, and the team is intent upon getting him regular playing time. ...
I’m going to talk about some things that may unease some 49er fans.
In light of the recent “McNabb trade talks v 8.0” I’ve decided to spitball some possible scenarios where McNabb could possibly make his way to the NFC West. The team that everyone seems he’s interested in going to is the St. Louis Rams. So what if? What if McNabb left the bitter and spoiled fans of Philly and ...
