Carlos Zambrano Aftermath, Boston Red Sox Injury Woes, Fantasy Grab of the Week
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Dave Cokin in MLB
Lots to cover in today’s blog, starting with the dysfunctional dugout of the Chicago Cubs, where Carlos Zambrano has made a spectacle of himself several times over the years. He’s ranted and raved, smashed a Gatorade machine, thrown gloves, bats and balls, left games prior to their conclusion, and generally been the proverbial ticking time bomb. In the past, his blowups have been mostly amusing.
My personal favorite was the time ...
Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs WR: Humble Superstar on the Rise
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Jabber Head in NFL
Dwayne Bowe has been a member of the Kansas City Chiefs since he was Drafted in the First Round of the 2007 Draft as the 23rd overall pick.
Drawing comparisons to Hines Ward, Bowe was considered one of the best receiver's available in the 2007 Draft.
He went over the next two years to prove that speculation was correct, as no other player selected in the 2007 NFL ...
We all know that NBA All-Star Lebron James is the best player to gun for out of the upcoming free agents in 2010. He also (to no surprise) has the most speculation about where he is going to go.
I am here just to give you my two-cents on where he will end up starting the 2010-11 season. All of these reasons point to the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls have enough cap ...
Does Michael Jordan Help or Hurt Chicago Bulls’ Effort To Land LeBron James?
Posted: 27th June 2010 by Kevin Lindsey in NBA
One of my favorite writers is Michael Wilbon. So now that I told you that Wilbon is one of my favorite writers you know that I am going to tell you that I disagree with him.
Early this free agent season, Wilbon wrote an article in which he suggested that the ghost of Michael Jordan would negatively impact the chances of the Chicago Bulls in acquiring the services of LeBron James.
Wilbon ...
The All Time Yankees and Red Sox Game Part One: Boston’s Starting Lineup
Posted: 27th June 2010 by Tyler Pollard in MLB
Today's date is June 26, 2010 and now the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees find themselves in another heated race with each other for the AL East.
Once again, the most heated rivalry in baseball and maybe all of sports is getting better. In their history, these clubs have met over 2,000 times (2,072 to be exact), and each time they play each other everybody pays attention.
The ...
July 1st in New York always brings excitement for Ranger fans. Aside from opening night in October, it is the best day of the year for hockey fans in the Big Apple.
A big-ticket free agent coming to the Rangers is like clockwork.
The target this summer for many Ranger fans is Ilya Kovalchuck, arguably the best pure goal scorer in the NHL. Imagine him playing alongside sniper Marian Gaborik on the ...
NBA Free Agency: How the Dominoes Will Fall if LeBron James Goes To Chicago
Posted: 27th June 2010 by Elliott Pohnl in NBA
When free agency officially begins Thursday, five NBA teams will journey to somewhere in Akron (presumably LeBron’s palatial estate) to make aggressive pitches to the King.
Whether or not the rumors being spread by Worldwide Wes are true, Chicago is without doubt one of the most likely destinations for LeBron James.
The draft-day trade that sent Kirk Hinrich to the Washington Wizards appears to have increased the Bulls chances of landing LeBron, ...
NBA Free Agent Rumors: LeBron James Update, Al Jefferson’s Availability
Posted: 27th June 2010 by Chase Yutzy in NBA
The most important NBA off-season in history is kicking into gear, and with LeBron mania gaining steam, I'm going to produce an on-going series providing updates on the trade rumors and the speculation surrounding LeBron, D-Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson and other free agents.
LeBron And Bosh "Leaning Heavily Toward The Bulls"
The New York Times reported an unidentified NBA executive believes, from discussions with other executives, that LeBron ...
I want to start talking NBA free agency, so I can stop thinking about Kevin Pritchard for a moment. As ESPN kindly reminds us every 5-10 minutes, it is rare for this many quality players to be on the market at the same time. That means a whole lot of speculation on who is going where. Why don't we make a game of it?
I've included a list of seven big-time ...
With Aging Players, Boston Celtics’ Expiration Date Has Arrived
Posted: 27th June 2010 by David Weiss in NBA
Let me play devil's advocate for a moment on why the Celtics should keep their same starting five next year.
When healthy, they have proven to be one of the most difficult teams in the playoffs.
Had they had home-court advantage in the Finals (OR Kendrick Perkins in game seven), they may have been holding their own parade last week.
Had the free throw/foul disparity between the Lakers and Celtics not been so ...
