Fifty years ago today, on July 9, 1960, on the campus of Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, the Dallas Cowboys began their first training camp. A staggering total of 193 players participated in that first camp under Tom Landry, who knew that the team was lacking in talent. "What we didn't have in the way of quality," he said. "We tried to make up ...
Antonio Pierce, a linebacker who played for NFC East rivals in the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants, retired on Thursday after being cut from the Giants.
Pierce was an undrafted free-agent in 2001 and signed with the Redskins that same year.
He didn't played much in his tenure with the Redskins until his fourth and final year with Washington, 2004, where he started all 16 games and recorded ...
Last week, I ranked the AFC's head coaches, I will have a link at the end of the slideshow. Before I start, this group was tougher to rank, considering there are better coaches in the NFC in general.
The following is criteria for this week's rankings:
-Overall record as a head coach
-Playoff success
-Amount of time spent with his current team Begin Slideshow
Mark Cuban Proves Me Wrong Once Again: He CAN Be a Bigger JerkÃÂ
Posted: 9th July 2010 by Denton Ramsey in NBA
The complete BS open letter to LeBron James from Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert is one thing (albeit very sad).
Gilbert was reacting on emotion, and he never should have published an open-letter to fans in that state of mind (regardless of him waking up today still pissed off).
But Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is just a freaking jerk, plain and simple.
How can anyone in their right mind back a d-bag ...
NEW YORK— This had the makings of a big series between two teams atop the NL East. The Braves facing the Mets at Citi Field, having been swept there in late April.
The Braves got the upper hand in the weekend series, widening their NL East lead over the Mets to four games, in a 4-2 win.
Jerry Manuel decided to bat Jose Reyes second in the lineup, since he could only ...
Miami Heat’s Next Move: Signing Shaq, Allen Iverson, and Others
Posted: 9th July 2010 by Yahya Syed in NBA
Pat Riley and the Miami Heat front office must be feeling an awful lot of pressure right now.
He might have been able to sign Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosh, but now they've got their work cut out for them filling the other nine (eight if you count Mario Chalmers) spots on the roster.
A team of three isn't going to be winning any championships. Ever.
With an ...
San Diego Chargers’ Super Speculation: Communication Breakdown…
Posted: 9th July 2010 by Jeremy Beckett in NFL
What do San Diego Charger fans and Rodney Dangerfield have in common? We get no respect.
From other teams it's acceptable. Yeah, we know your new mediocre quarterback is gonna change everything.
All of your rookie picks are going to be awesome, and Mathews will fail. We will lose all of our stars, yadda yadda yawn. It gets old.
If all speculation fails, brag about trophies of decades past.
We roll with the punches ...
Arizona Cardinal Fans Beware. Larry Fitzgerald Isn’t Who You Think.
Posted: 9th July 2010 by Derrick G in NFL
First let me preface this by saying I am a Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians fan, so you might dismiss what I am about to say because you think I'm a bitter Cavs fan too. I'm not, when I was younger I lived in Seattle and became a Sonics fan, so I think I am pretty neutral when it comes to the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron's decision last night.
What does ...
Players To Watch at Pittsburgh Penguins Development Camp
Posted: 9th July 2010 by Alison Myers in NHL
The Pittsburgh Penguins prospect development camp will kick off this coming Monday, July 12, and run until July 17.
The development camp is a chance for the Penguins coaching staff and management to get a good look at the prospects who they just drafted and those currently in the minor league system. Players’ performances could determine how they will rank in the prospect depth system, or, if they’re far enough along, ...
LeGone, but not forgotten.
This attitude may be filtering through the minds of many Knicks fans as a result of the post-LeBron fallout. After dumping cap faster than a high maintenance girlfriend, they could not land their desired target. The Big Apple was ultimately turned down by the King. And on national television, he made sure it was in embarrassing fashion.
LeBron to Knicks: “Sorry, but I’m out of you’re league.”
LeBron never ...
