2010 MLB Predictions: What I Expect from Trevor Hoffman
Posted: 24th March 2010 by Jesse Motiff in MLB
When the Padres let Trevor Hoffman leave their organization after the 2008 season, many felt it was the end of the line for one of the game's great closers.
The Dodgers showed mild interest in Hoffman, and it made sense for him to sign with a team so close to his home. Add to that the fact he'd be able to pitch against his former team, and it seemed all but ...

Posted: 24th March 2010 by Joe Willett in NFL
Before I start to explain the exact rule change that Roger Goodell decided to make, I would like to announce that for my NFL Mock Draft series, I will only be doing the top half of the first round.
With the Draft getting closer and closer, I am also nearing the end of my first semester in college and projects, tests and finals are starting to pile ...
Montreal Canadiens-Buffalo Sabres Game Recap: Did the Coach Earn a Bag Skate?
Posted: 24th March 2010 by Rocket All Habs in NHL
Two steps forward, one step back. A week ago, we were talking about the Canadiens winning six games in a row. More recently, they have lost three straight. Tonight's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres was the most traumatic for the players and their fans.
While some will describe this as a colossal collapse for the Habs in the last two minutes of the game after playing a terrific game, I'm ...
The NFL draft is still a month away, but there are mock drafts all over the net that can give you a pretty good idea of how the draft is likely to shape up. A lot can happen over the next month, but over the next few weeks I want to look at the greatest needs of the Green Bay Packers and where they might find help at the end ...

The NHL’s Rumors, Recklessness, and Responsibility
Posted: 24th March 2010 by Mark Willoughby in NHL
Psssst.
Want to hear a rumor?
The Hockey News could be acquired by the National Enquirer.
In the realm of possibility? Sure.
Probable. Not very.
A rumor. Somewhere in the realm of the possible, but not likely. If I threw this rumor out there, based on the fact that, yes, it is possible although not probable, I am trafficking in the laughable.
Yet the Hockey News and Ken Campbell would ...
New Jersey Nets Win, Forget Breaking Sixers Record
Posted: 24th March 2010 by Leslie Monteiro in NBA
Nets CEO Brett Yomark lost it on Monday night when he confronted a frustrated fan wearing a paper bag at courtside. With the way this season has gone for the Nets, Yomark knows what's at stake with the team approaching history each passing game.
Yomark can smile about what happened tonight. The Nets earned their eighth victory tonight by defeating the Kings, 93-79, at the Izod Center.
The Nets will likely not ...
Who are the top five hottest teams in the NHL right now? There are a lot of teams that are playing well, others that are on upward swings, and even more that are going down.
To choose which are the hottest teams, I looked at four criteria to try to show the trend of each team:
Ranked by:
1 – Winning percentage during the last 20 games
2 – Winning percentage during the ...
I was recently approached by Tom Reese from HotStove.com who asked if I would be interested in a series he was doing. Each week he would ask one question to bloggers who cover a team. We would respond with a four or five sentence response. Tom would consolidate all of the answers and post them to his site.
It is an interesting concept and one I have had ...
It's no real shocker that the Buffalo Bills are searching for a quarterback to lead them and stop their 10-year drought of missing the playoffs.
A report from Peter King a few weeks ago stated that the Eagles will be moving one of their three quarterbacks and reports today surfaced that the Buffalo Bills were indeed interested in acquiring QB Donovan McNabb for a possible second-round pick.
Bills head coach Chan ...
