Posted: 16th February 2010 by kevin roberts in NFL

According to reports by Yahoo! Sports , there is a deal on the table that would send center Marcus Camby to the Portland Trail Blazers, while the Los Angeles Clippers would receive Travis Outlaw, Steve Blake, and cash.

Posted: 16th February 2010 by kevin roberts in NFL
Buffalo Bills beat writer Sal Maiorana reportedly "agrees" with the Buffalo News that Trent Edwards has a very good chance at returning as the Bills' starting quarterback in 2010. Considering, at the moment, his main competition is Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm, that seems to be a solid prediction. However, there are many reasons why this story is far from over, and even if it is, there's still plenty of reason ...

NBA Trade Rumors: Why Amare Stoudemire Is Preventing a Deal To Cleveland

Posted: 15th February 2010 by kevin roberts in NBA
After speculation over the past two weeks that the Cleveland Cavaliers have shown major interest in Amare Stoudemire, could the biggest road-block be Stoudemire himself? It's looking that way . The original plan coming from Cleveland (rumored, anyways), is that adding either Stoudemire or Washington's Antawn Jamison would give them another athletic body inside to help the aging Shaquille O'Neal make it through the playoffs. The Cavaliers were widely rumored to be ...
If you follow the NBA and haven't heard by now, well, you just haven't been paying attention. True, the All-Star game and festivities have somewhat stolen the show in Dallas over the past three days, but Dallas has been in the news for other reasons, as well.

There are plenty of solid guys out there on the waiver wire , which is exciting news, considering just a week ago the wire was looking fairly bleak. Injuries have opened the door (and continue to) for a lot of quiet players, while others are raising their names back to the surface by returning from their own injuries.

NBA Fantasy Risers: Orlando Magic’s J.J. Redick

Posted: 9th January 2010 by kevin roberts in NBA

Is Mike Shanahan the Answer for the Washington Redskins?

Posted: 7th January 2010 by kevin roberts in NFL
Norv Turner couldn't do it. The guy that originally brought Washington three titles, Joe Gibbs, couldn't get it done in his second try, either. Few truly believed Jim Zorn, who had zero previous head coaching experience, was ready, so after all the Washington Redskins franchise has been through in the past 15-plus years, what makes anyone think Mike Shanahan will be any different? The former Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos head coach ...
