Why Michael Redd Should Never Play for the Milwaukee Bucks Again
Posted: 28th April 2010 by Tommy Torkelson in NBA
Whatever happened to Michael Redd?
Wasn't he supposedly an "elite scoring threat" for the Milwaukee Bucks at some point? Not that I remember.
Sure, he's had his share of 30+ pt games, but for every great shot he's hit, it seems he's jacked up a three instead of passing up the poor shot for a teammate with an open look.
Countless times, I can recall the Bucks making a defensive stand, and then ...
Oliver Perez Keeps His Spot in the New York Mets’ Rotation
Posted: 28th April 2010 by Flushing Baseball Daily in MLB
Coming into this season, Oliver Perez was one of the bigger question marks for the Mets' rotation, and after four starts he’s more of a question mark than ever.
After John Maine ’s start this afternoon, Perez's spot is the most in danger in the Mets' rotation, but at least for now, he’s holding on to it. According to Mark Hale of the NY Post , Mets manager Jerry Manuel said ...
The Red Sox find themselves tied for third place in the AL East (10 - 11) as of April 28th. And as April comes to a close, the Boston Red Sox season thus far seems to be summed up in three words: Feast or Famine.
In winning efforts, the Sox outscored opponents 72 to 54. However, when tossing one into the loss column, the Sox are outscored 25-60, a dismal number.
Some may ...

It's very early to look at the 2011 NFL draft class, as injuries, scheme changes, and outside influences can affect the development of the most talented prospects.
Based on the early looks, next year figures to be another deep draft class. The defensive line seems to very deep again this year with an abundance of playmakers. The quarterback class is much improved with as many as three going in the ...
Green Bay Packers Find Gems in James Starks and Sam Shields
Posted: 28th April 2010 by Zach Kruse in NFL
The most common conclusion you'll hear on the Green Bay Packers 2010 draft was that it was solid but unspectacular—nothing sexy about it. But before you take that stance on the new crop of Packers coming in, I invite you to take a look at two players who might just change your mind.
Yet I won't lie, when the Packers sixth round selection of Buffalo running back James Starks came in, ...
Yankees Struggles Start at the Top. Blame Cameron Diaz?
Posted: 28th April 2010 by Double G Sports in MLB
The New York Yankees had started the season red hot but have cooled down as of late. Losers of four of their last five, the Yankees now sit 2.5 games back of AL East leading Tampa Bay. I decided to look back at the past five games and try to find a common theme. Well, I found one at it was right at ...

After quite an admirable run at defense for the Chicago Blackhawks' utility man Dustin Byfuglien, it looks as though he will return to right wing during the second round of the NHL playoffs.
While on defense, Byfuglien was held scoreless during the Blackhawks' first-round matchup against the Nashville Preadators and posted a minus-two rating.
The reason for moving Byfuglien back to wing, the position he played most of the regular season, is ...
I know its a bit late, but I've been busy, and I like to wait for all the immediate post draft hype to calm down before a sit down and judge it.
Most fans are confident their new rookies will be game changers. In all honesty, maybe half the teams can hope this draft will be looked back on as a success. While this draft was heralded as one loaded ...
