NBA Playoffs 2010: Phoenix Suns Regain Upper Hand, Lead Portland 3-2
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Busta Bucket in NBA
What began in ideal form with the Blazers racing out to an early 14 point lead, ended in disaster with the Blazers blowing that early lead and losing in an irritatingly familiar fashion. When Marcus Camby was called for two first quarter fouls and benched, the Blazers slowly but surely obliterated any momentum or confidence they had gained and eventually collapsed under the Suns' expected ...
Clueless In New York: David Stern Please Shut Your Mouth
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Steven Resnick in NBA
David Stern needs to take his own advice and just shut his mouth. Recently there was an article written in regards to players and coaches calling out the NBA referees. The most recent example of this was Stan Van Gundy and Matt Barnes being fined $35,000 for criticizing the NBA officials.
Van Gundy said “see the other great players in this league on the bench all the time with foul trouble, especially ...
Red Sox-Blue Jays: Josh Beckett Implodes, but Boston Wins Wild One
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Nick Poust in MLB
Josh Beckett continued to live up to the four-year, $68 million deal given to him by the Boston Red Sox prior to the season.
Heaping sarcasm consumes that statement, as after his offense scored four runs in the third inning to take a 5-0 lead, the Red Sox's so-called ace promptly gave up six runs in the bottom of the inning to the Toronto Blue Jays.
In the fourth inning, it was ...

Posted: 27th April 2010 by Bill Robbins in NFL
There seems to be a significant buzz heading into the 2010 NFL season for the Kansas Chiefs. The man responsible for that buzz is former Tennessee safety Eric Berry.
Kansas City picked Berry at #5 overall with their 1st pick in the 2010 NFL Draft last Thursday night. Not only was it a great pick, it could end up being on of the best picks ever in the history of the ...
Maple Leafs Look Ahead: Luke Schenn and the Sophomore Slump That Wasn’t
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Jon Neely in NHL
Coming off a rookie season in Toronto when he stood out as one of the team's best, Luke Schenn came into this year looking to prove that a sophomore slump would not be something he'd have any part of.
But right off the bat it seemed that his season was doomed by the slump that plagues so many second-year players in the NHL.
He was a healthy scratch three times and due ...
Alan Faneca has been released? Are you kidding me?
Here is the latest in a series of questionable moves from Jets head coach Rex Ryan!
It all started with the introduction of LaDainian Tomlinson, and this cancer has spread throughout the Jets organization like wildfire.
Let's see, if I'm a head coach and I have the league's top rushing attack, I would try all I could to keep it intact. Ryan's response—trade ...
Jacque Lemaire Retires; New Jersey Devils Enter Offseason
Posted: 27th April 2010 by Peter Lomuscio in NHL
The New Jersey Devils once again proved their superiority and consistency by putting together another tremendous regular season. But unfortunately for them they once again couldn’t continue their success into the postseason. And with this disappointing postseason the offseason dominoes have begun to fall.
It has started with the retirement of head coach Jacques Lemaire. The 64-year-old coach has stated that he doesn’t have the energy to coach in the NHL ...
Dwayne Wade is throwing away diamonds. He's skipping them along the Mississippi River and watching them sink to the bottom lost forever, just like his useless 46 point, 5 assist, 5 rebound game yesterday against the Celtics. It was a great performance, a virtuoso excelling, performing his craft at the most unbelievable of levels, leaving mouths agape, jaws on the floor, and eyes dangling out ...
There has been a great debate going on in Rockies Nation for almost a year.
Check out the Rockies blogs out there and it will be easy to find. Many passionate Rockies fans believe that Chris Iannetta needs to be the everyday starting catcher for the Rockies.
These fans have done their research—they have the numbers to back up why Iannetta is the right man for the job. Even when ...
“That won’t continue.” A new motto for Pittburgh Pirates fans to live by.
During last night’s game, FSN Pittsburgh commentators Tim Neverett and Greg Brown stressed this point over and over again.
The problem for the Pirates is the numbers don’t lie. The Pirates have now lost their seventh straight game, an embarrassing 17-3 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers. A streak in which the Pirates have been outscored 72-12, ...
