A rain delay forced Game Six from Saturday to Sunday night. There was no rain in the Bronx on Sunday, only a cold chill that absolutely nobody in New York was feeling.

We will be entering Week Seven of the NFL Season and teams are slowly starting to break away from the pack and emerge as early contenders.
The Colts and Broncos are the top two teams in the AFC and are still undefeated. The same thing goes for the Saints and the Vikings in the NFC also being undefeated.
Some teams really suffered some tough losses that put them back further than they ...
Week Six had a lot of strange games with some strange outcomes.
For instance, the Jets racked up over 300 yards of rushing yards against the Bills and held Terrell Owens to three catches for 13 yardsùboth numbers usually coming when a team wins by something like a 35-7 score. Only, Mark Sanchez threw five interceptions and the Jets missed a dozen opportunities to win the game in overtime, which allowed ...

Week Five of the NFL season was anything but boring.
We saw a bunch of close games go into overtime and we saw a couple upsets.

For the fans in Denver and Cincinnati, they didn't have much hope going into September of ...

Posted: 7th October 2009 by Doug Rush in MLB
This is what we have waited for all year long.
The 162 games. The day games, the night games, the winning streaks, the losing streaks, the walk-off wins, the pitching duels, the pies in the face, the grind, the blood, sweat, and tears. This is what eight teams have worked for since April.
After a dramatic finish in the 163rd game of the MLB season between the Twins and Tigers that saw ...
In possibly the most anticipated meeting in the history of Monday Night Football, the teacher out-performed the student. Brett Favre's Minnesota Vikings defeated Aaron Rodgers' Green Bay Packers, giving round one of the grudge match to Favre.
The defending Super Bowl Champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, got back on track, and also back to .500 with a dominating performance on offense with a 38-28 victory over the Chargers, who look to be ...
The Yankees won 103 games in the 2009 regular season and are back in the playoffs after an absence from postseason baseball in 2008.

The last time the Yankees were in the World Series was in 2003, where they were virtually exhausted and ...
Week Four has quite a few good looking showdowns on Sunday.
But it has a great big one on Monday night, a showdown that has been brewing for almost a year now.
Whether you call it a grudge match, or call it teacher against student, or call it a rivalry game: You're right. I'll get to that game a little later.
Last week, I had a great week going 14-2. My only losses ...
