A Look Into the Philadelphia 76ers First Summer League Game
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Alec Beckman in NBA
The 76ers opened their Summer League campaign with an 84-74 win over Derrick Favors and the Nets. It was an impressive performance by the 76ers, running the floor well, and showing overall domination against the Nets. The 76ers squad, led by PG Jrue Holliday, struggled from the field, only shooting 41.7%, while shooting 30% from three-point range. Even though their shooting wasn’t outstanding, the 76ers ...

Posted: 5th July 2010 by tank jones in NFL
The 2010 Bengals look good on paper. This may turn out to be the best Bengals team since the Super Bowl team. They have simply gotten stronger in every area.
Large parts of the team remain relatively unchanged from last season, allowing them to build on what they accomplished in 2009.
Here are 10 positives going into training camp.Begin Slideshow
The landscape of Fantasy Football has shifted in recent years as running back committees and spread-like passing offenses have altered draft strategies regardless of your format. Formats have also changed as Yardage Leagues are now considered standard while Points Per Reception, Individual Defensive Players, and increased roster sizes (2 QBs, 4-5 WRs, etc.) continue to gain momentum.
To kickoff NFLDraft101's Fantasy Football coverage here are my Top 12 Players for ...
The start of NHL free-agency is one of the most exciting times of the hockey season. While no games are played, many things can change between July 1 and the start of the new NHL season. Teams look to free-agency to help fill some of the voids on their roster.

2010 Cleveland Browns Training Camp: The Secondary Competition
Posted: 5th July 2010 by gary wertman in NFL
When the Cleveland Browns open their 2010 training camp on July 31, no less than four spots in the defensive backfield will be up for grabs. When you are coming off a 5-11 season, no one’s job is safe.
Last year, the Browns starting cornerbacks were Eric Wright and Brandon McDonald. Safety Mike Adams replaced the erratic McDonald at corner late in the season.
Brodney Pool and Abe Elam manned the safety positions ...
NBA Free Agency: Knicks Sign Amar’e Stoudemire, Where’s LeBron James Going?
Posted: 5th July 2010 by JunHee Lee in NBA
Knicks have officially agreed upon a free agent agreement with Amare Stoudemire on a contract worth almost 100million for 5 years.
My guess is that the Knicks must know whether LeBron's choice is NY or other cities that recruited him. I believe they have a strong reason to think James is coming to New York. Here's my reasoning.
Reports have been saying that Knicks had made progress with Amare and the deal was on the table. It was, however, ...
NBA Free Agent Rumors: Is Chris Bosh The New Vince Carter?
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Ben Trattner in NBA
Toronto Raptors fans have that sinking feeling. The Raptors are about to lose their marquee player again. This is a road they have been down before. Whether it is Damon Stoudamire, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter and now Chris Bosh (likely), all the super star players that have worn the Raptors jersey have left the city and the franchise high and dry.
After being the seventh pick in the ...
NCAA Basketball: ACC’s Top 25 Players, No. 19, Mason Plumlee
Posted: 5th July 2010 by rob murray in NBA
No. 19: Mason Plumlee, Forward, Duke University
Last year, a broken wrist forced Mason Plumlee to the sidelines. The injury forced him to miss the end of summer practice and the season’s first six games.
Once on the court, Plumlee did show some flashes of the NBA-type skills that make the scouts touch themselves. However, he certainly struggled to keep up with the pace of college ball.
First though, let’s talk about those ...

I've told you about offense, and now I will tell you five defensive players who are bound to break out next season. Our defense needs a lot of these players to have breakout seasons because of how pitiful the defense as a whole was last year.
The Miami Dolphins need players who can end drives instantly. Here are five players who have a chance to break out next year and do ...
Will JaMarcus Russell Ever Get Signed After Recent Arrest?
Posted: 5th July 2010 by jake winiecki in NFL
JaMarcus Russell was going to have a tough time getting any team to buy into his potential before today. Now I'm having a very tough time believing that any team will sign him.
Russell was arrested on July 5 for possession of codeine syrup, often referred to as "purple drank." This addicting concoction is very popular down south, and many high profile people have been reported as drinking it—people such as Lil' ...
