Posted: 4th July 2010 by Ryan Cook in NFL
Ah, getting back to the old routine, isn't it great? Here I am, back at the helm, writing more articles and once again commenting on JaMarcus Russell's situation.
In my time away, I found myself pondering the NFL a little during my everyday travels.
At times, I couldn't help but feel out of the loop a little, as if I may have missed some kind of Brett Favre signing news, or a ...
You need to "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and when to run." Kenny Rogers is famous for singing those words, but Brian Burke is playing the game as we speak!
Know when to HOLD 'EM—Tomas Kaberle is an asset Burke has held onto thus far.
Know when to FOLD 'EM—When the "No-trade" clause was lifted, Burke made it clear that he's listening, ...
NBA Free Agents 2010: Dirk Nowitzki Returns To Mavs For All The Right Reasons
Posted: 4th July 2010 by Master Tesfatsion in NBA
In this day and age where loyalty to a franchise is quickly abandoned for the lure of the dollar, Dirk Nowitzki did something many players would not.
Maverick fans weren't sure why Nowitzki would opt out of his contract with one year left worth $21.6 million. The only assumption was he was packing his bags and heading out a la Steve Nash.
Not only did Nowitzki commit with the ...

Posted: 4th July 2010 by Dustin Brown in NBA
According to Jason Goff, Host/Producer of 670 The Score, a D-Wade and Chris Bosh duo could be on the way in Chicago.
Via http://twitter.com/jgoff670 , Jason stated "Sources are telling me Wade-Bosh package imminent in Chicago."
I know it may seem like I'm reporting every rumor out there, but this may signify an important change within free agency.
Dwyane Wade asked the Chicago Bulls for a first interview, supposedly was intrigued, then asked ...
Around this time every year, all of the NFL experts are talking about depth charts.
Everybody wants to know who'll be the starter for their favorite team (with good reason), and the Indianapolis Colts are no exception.
Sure, Indy doesn't have any really "sexy"position battles to worry about—like quarterback (the entire universe knows that Peyton Manning will be the starter).
But, Coach Caldwell isn't just going to sit back and let all ...

Both will return as key pieces to the success of their teams, but both the Mavericks and Celtics are missing other key pieces. ...

Knicks: The Real Ending to “The Sopranos” Revealed to LeBron James (Satire)
Posted: 4th July 2010 by Christopher Chavez in NBA
SB Nation is reporting that LeBron James was a big fan of "The Sopranos" when they were on the air. The show came to an abrupt halt and a black screen.
The window was left open to thousands of possible endings. Did Tony die? Who were the other people in the diner? Onion Rings?
But only one man was able to get a glimpse of how the show really ended. That man ...
NBA Free Agent Rumors: Letting Chris Bosh Walk is an Option for Toronto Raptors
Posted: 4th July 2010 by Os Kavcar in NBA
Bryan Colangelo should be coming dangerously close to shooting down the circus we came to know as 2010 free agency period. Well Bryan, it is about time...
Between tweets, dinners, covert meetings, people popping out of nowhere to pass out unfounded rumors, and worse yet, possible tempering, I don't think we would be able to look back after 10 years and find anything to be proud of.
Toronto Raptors fans were initially ...

Brown was expected to be paired with starter Eric Wright, finally giving the Browns two quality cornerbacks and seemingly wiping the position off of the 2010 draft wish list.
However, just a few weeks later on April 22, ...
