As a fan of football (the NFL in general), I am growing increasingly distraught with its policies—the pay scale to be more specific.
It's becoming impossible and a frustrating process to keep good players on any team.
As a Charger fan I was happy to see Brandon Marshall move to Miami and out of the AFC West, however, with his huge signing, I'm pretty sure next year I will have to watch ...
Do The Dallas Cowboys Have Enough Balls to Go Around In 2010?

I don’t think anyone can nitpick with regards to talent when it comes to Dallas getting Dez Bryant in the draft. Bryant was the most talented receiver in the draft and slid all the way to 24 where the Cowboys moved up three spots to select him.
Bryant comes into one of the most talented teams in the league in Dallas. A core of offensive ...
As a diehard Charger fan, I keep a close eye on the other AFC west rival during the offseason. I have to say, my hat is off th the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason. I think the acquisition of Thomas Jones was huge. Sure, he's getting up in age, but, as a bruiser he will be productive for a few more years.
With Jones, Jamal Charles, and the newly drafted Dexter ...
I'm starting to believe that Atlanta's professional sports teams are the most humble teams in any league. Why's that you might ask? It's simple: They are so humble in that they do not take pleasure or pride in going into an opposing team's stadium or arena and pulling out a victory. That just isn't right, now is it, to just go into someone else's house and take what belongs to ...

Red Sox’ Inking Cuban Adalberto Ibarra Bad News For Victor Martinez
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Peter Douglas in MLB
In no uncertain terms, the Red Sox significantly stepped up the pressure on catcher Victor Martinez Monday when they signed Cuban Adalberto Ibarra to a Major League contract worth anywhere between $3 and $4.3 million over five years.
The versatile Ibarra has seen action all around the diamond, but the 22-year-old has focused progressively more and more on catching during only the past few years, and therefore brings with him to ...
Raiders Get The Steal Of The Century with Jason Campbell
Posted: 27th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
Im a die hard Charger fan, and over the last 5 years I've viewed the Broncos as the team to beat. After this years draft, I have changed my mind. Wow, thats the best draft I think Ive ever seen the Raiders go through, and my hats off to you.
The Broncos continue to move progressively backwards because of McDaniels. I think betting the farm on Tim Tebow was the most ...
The ‘Durantula’ Kevin Durant Hijacks NBA’s Spectacle, Thunder Will Beat Lakers
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NBA
We’re witnessing an NBA postseason of drama with an unexpected franchise residing in Oklahoma City, where the crowd intensifies the loudest frenzies at Ford Center, arguably the clamorous building in the league. Whoever predicted that an erratic postseason would be entertained with action-packed, dramatic performances of Kevin Durant, the league’s youngest scoring champ and now potential Most Valuable Player?
All of this frightens the Los Angeles Lakers, the defending champs who are bullied, harassed ...
2010 Pitching Busts: Verlander, Peavy, Beckett Headline List
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Peter Douglas in MLB
Like Carlos Zambrano, big-time pitchers Justin Verlander, Jake Peavy, and Josh Beckett are off to awful starts. They are not alone. Names like Jon Lester, Aaron Harang, Javier Vazquez, Chad Billingsley, and Jeremy Bonderman join them on this list of the top ten worst pitchers in 2010.
Virtually all of these pitchers have two things in common. They were expected to be aces, stoppers, shutdown grinders, strike-one dealers. They are all ...
2010 NBA Playoffs: Phoenix Suns’ Reserves Unleashed In Game 5 Rout
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Matt Petersen in NBA
Alvin Gentry said he'd play the bench more so Nash would be fresh in the fourth quarter.
Instead, the reserves let Nash keep their seats warm in the final frame.
Good thing, too, what with Grant Hill battling foul trouble and Jarron Collins battling a bad matchup with the quicker, longer Blazers' front line (he did actually contribute in Game 5).
The Suns' bench would be a great draw for college basketball fans ...
