NHL Awards: Crosby, Ovechkin, Sedin Headline NHL Divisional MVPs
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Justin Soss in NHL
The Hart Memorial Trophy is handed out annually at the conclusion of each NHL season. The award, which is voted on by members of The Professional Hockey Writers’ Association, is given to the player who has been deemed to be the most valuable to his team during the regular season.
Since this honor is only bestowed upon one player at the NHL’s award ceremonies I wanted to take the time ...
Last year was no question, The Detroit Lions took the cake at 0-16. There has not been a fail to that degree in NFL history.
Sure you can say the Buccaneers were in 1976, but that's when they were an expansion team. This year, the St. Louis Rams went 1-15 and allowed over 500 points on defense.
What happened to the team that was a consistent Super Bowl contender in the ...
Cleveland Cavaliers, Revised: No Longer ‘LeBron James and Everyone Else’
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Tom Delamater in NBA
You could have made a case in 2007. Many insist it was still the case in 2009.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were nothing but LeBron James, and everybody else.
Some people aren’t even that kind. To them, it’s more like, “LeBron James and a bunch of stiffs.”
Nothing like giving credit where credit is due.
Granted, the Cavaliers of 2007 weren’t exactly a who’s who of basketball talent. Despite making it to the NBA Finals, ...
I went to the Hornets-Lakers game (Photos!) on Monday night with a good friend, so I did not watch Dancing with the Stars live. When you have a chance to sit five rows from the court, it kind of takes precedence over almost anything else in life.
I did, however, catch up on DWTS with a few video recaps that are readily available on the web.
Andrews was ...
2010 NFL Draft: Dez Bryant Seems Intent on Damaging His Draft Stock
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Luke Taylor in NFL
Dez Bryant entered his private workout yesterday hoping to convince NFL teams around the league that he should be their pick.
However, Bryant seems to have left teams with more questions than answers following the workout in his hometown of Lufkin, Texas.
Bryant didn't take part in last month's NFL Scouting Combine due to a hamstring injury, so this was a great opportunity for him to boost his draft stock and rise up ...
We’ve had some player movement that shook up my initial rankings. Here’s my second look at early 2010 fantasy football Running Back rankings.
1. Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings They said Peterson would have a hard time staying healthy. He has. They said he couldn’t catch the ball out of the backfield. He more than doubled his reception total last year with 43. They say he fumbles too much. Adrian Peterson ...
Winter is not a good time for baseball fans.
With nothing to hold our attention but the inferior sports of basketball and football, we are forced to spend our days waiting for pots to boil on the Hot Stove.
As the rumor mill grinds away, many (if not most) of the major market developments are somewhat predictable. No one was surprised to see Matt Holliday re-sign with the Cardinals, for example, or ...
Eagles’ DeSean Jackson Asking Fans to Help Raise Awareness for Pancreatic Cancer
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Dan Parzych in NFL
Like many athletes in this generation, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a frequent user of Facebook and Twitter; the main difference between him and other athletes is he’s using these social media sites for more than just entertainment purposes.
The Pro Bowl wide receiver is using these social media sites to interact with fans about The DeSean Jackson Foundation For Pancreatic Cancer on his new site Foundation10.com —a ...
Kleeman’s Jump Hook: The Eight Softest Players in the NBA
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Robert Kleeman in NBA
Kobe Bryant has battled ankle ailments, back spasms, a sore hip, and the flu en route to an MVP-caliber season rife with clutch shots and ass-saving plays.
He remains the biggest reason the Lakers will prove a tough out in the playoffs.
I want competitors like Bryant, Manu Ginobili, and Chauncey Billups leading my battle charge.
This list, however, highlights the opposite brand of NBAer. Call them wimps and mental midgets.
When the going ...
Everyone is so enthralled with the lottery process and being a lottery pick. Does it really matter what pick you’re drafted in the first round? We don’t think so, and we’ll do our best to explain why.
Take for example Texas freshman Avery Bradley.
Bradley had a very good season for an underachieving Longhorn team that sputtered in the Big 12 this year. He averaged 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, and ...
