To me, this thing is still a gimmick, but from what it sounds like, a few athletes who were on hand were impressed after they watched last night’s Rangers/Islanders game in 3-D.
I wonder if they still would have liked it if the Rangers were on the wrong end of the 5-0 romp. Then again, they can actually afford the TV’s and probably don’t actually care if the Rangers won or ...
Two Players the Seattle Seahawks Should Grab in Round One of the 2010 NFL Draft
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Tommy Bertolino in NFL
With the Hawks first 2 selections in round 1, I think the organization needs to go CORE.
What I mean by CORE is back to foundational players in this pass happy NFL. That would include QB, LT, pass rush and secondary play.
Ruskell wasn’t able to get it done in those 4 paramount areas and hopefully, Pete and John will strike gold.
We swept in and grabbed our QB, now ...
Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
James Singleton, Washington Wizards
Singleton certainly opened some eyes with his 19 point, 21 rebound performance against the Pacers. He’s averaging 12.8 rebounds in his last four games, including 16 and a pair of seven rebound games. He’s worth a risk in daily leagues if you’re looking for boards.
Josh McRoberts, Indiana Pacers
McRoberts also played well in ...
Ben Roethlisberger Accusation: No Video Evidence From Night Club Exists
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Nick Signorelli in NFL
ESPN has just reported that there is no video evidence of the night Ben Roethlisberger is accused of sexual assault.
Immediately after the news broke that Roethlisberger had been accused, it was reported that the club did have video evidence, and that they had a weekly cycle, and the evidence would be available for six days.
Apparently, the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) had not subpoena the tapes prior to them be ...
According to Marc Carig of The Star-Ledger, the Yankees have released righty Chad Gaudin just two days after they put him on waivers.
Since his contract was non-guaranteed, the Yankees only owe him 25 percent, or about $737,500, out of the $2.95 million he would have been owed had he made the team. This doesn’t necessarily mean that his days with the Yankees are over as the team could resign him ...
RB James Davis Could Be a Sleeper Agent for the Cleveland Browns
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
The offseason drama surrounding the quarterback position has overshadowed what could be a great story heading into 2010–the return of running back James Davis.
Davis had a breakout preseason in 2009, highlighted by an 81-yard touchdown run versus the Detroit Lions. Davis had 12 carries for 116 yards in that game and finished third overall in the preseason with 24 carries for 186 yards.
As the season began, and starting running back ...
With spring training almost over, it’s time to take a look who is tearing up both the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues.
Here are the Spring Training All-Stars...
(All stats are through Wednesday, March 24.)
C—Mike Napoli, LAA—.313/5/9/.405
If Mike Scioscia had any faith in Napoli behind the plate, he could hit 40 home runs during the regular season. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that will ever happen.
1B—Chris Davis, Texas Rangers—.353/2/10/.389
Davis is doing his ...
Ben Roethlisberger Accuser Declines Second Interview with Police
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Nick Signorelli in NFL
Another day, another blow to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation case against Ben Roethlisberger.
Tuesday night, it was reported that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has withdrawn its request for Roethlisberger's DNA. And that was only the start of their trouble.
It was reported on KDKA.com that the accuser has refused to be interviewed by the police again.
There are many reasons as to why the prosecutors would interview any accuser more than ...
The Yankees drafted Christian Garcia in 2004 and by the end of that summer the third round pick was already making a name for himself thanks to a mid-90’s fastball and the makings of a nasty curveball.
He started out quickly out of the gate, his stuff was raw, but he showed a lot of promise. In 2004 he was able to harness it while putting up a 2.84 ERA ...
2010 Fantasy Baseball Watch: Is J.A. Happ Worth a No. 1 Pick?
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Ray Tannock in MLB
Picking players in the first round is always a hot topic. And while your first round selections WILL NOT make your team, it is those players who are on the cusp of being first rounders that could significantly impact your team’s performance.
J.A. Happ is one of those players.
Last year Happ enjoyed a very promising season going 12-4 for "Dem Phightin Phils" while posting a 2.93 ERA.
But what is noteworthy ...
