Week One of the NFL finally came for the fans all over the country.
Some fans know they have a potential playoff team early on this season. Some know their team has a lot of work to do if they even want to be considered. Then there are some who know their team will be an utter disaster in 2009.
In Week One, I finished 12-4 with my picks with the 49ers, ...

Posted: 17th September 2009 by Doug Rush in MLB
It's becoming a theme in the new Yankee Stadium for opposing teams.
If you don't win the game before the ninth inning, you're in deep trouble, because the Yankees will find a way to come back and beat you.
On Wednesday night, it was no different.
The Yankees were trailing the Blue Jays 4-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning and looked a little flat against the Blue Jays pitching.
Alex Rodriguez got ...

After Monday Night Football's double header of games, Week One of the NFL finally closed the door and all 32 teams finally played their first games.

The Yankees most likely will be a playoff team come October. It also looks like so will the Angels.
When they squared off on Monday night, it could have been looking into the future of a potential playoff matchup with a playoff atmosphere in the Bronx. Monday night's game was a makeup from a rain-out of May 3.
The Yankees were up against Jered Weaver, who has been one of the Angels ...

Posted: 14th September 2009 by Doug Rush in NFL
According to the New York Daily News, Giants rookie wide receiver Hakeem Nicks only suffered a mild sprain of the ankle in Sunday's game against the Redskins.

There was a baseball game played on Friday night. The Yankees lost it 10-4 to the Orioles. Truth be told, nobody cared.
Honestly, nobody is going to remember the result, not now nor down the road. Baseball fans are only going to remember that on Sept. 11, 2009, they saw baseball history.
It took 90 minutes to get Friday night's game between the Yankees and Orioles going because of a rain delay, ...
Remembering September 11: The Yankees Healed a City and Country

I was a 17-year-old high school senior on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
