Is Ben Roethlisberger in Danger of Being Let Go After Alleged Sexual Assault?
Posted: 13th April 2010 by Renee Perron in NFL
It seems that the Steelers are no strangers to trouble these days. After trading Santonio Holmes to the Jets yesterday , it is clear that the Pittsburgh organization is ready to end all of the tabloid press that they've been getting lately.
But what about their main man?
Ben Roethlisberger has been in the news since it was released that he allegedly sexually assaulted a college student during a night of partying ...
Most of the chatter heading into the 2010 NFL draft is about quarterbacks.
I think that the McNabb trade has caused more Internet traffic than the new health care plan.
The Redskins-Eagles trade aside, how is it that Jimmy Clausen and Sam Bradford are more recognisable names than Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy ?
Well, outside of sports fans that is. It's because they're quarterbacks.
Quarterbacks are crucial to an NFL ...
Are the Capitals Waiting tor the Playoffs or are they Already Done?
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Renee Perron in NHL
I don't think any Caps fans were happy last night. Only a few minutes into the first period, the Caps were already trailing the Ottawa Senators, and by the end of the first period, it was 3-1 Ottawa. The Caps had only 4 shots on goal in the first period, shocking for the offense-dominated team that usually averages over 30 shots per game.
Let's face it: it didn't look pretty.
By the ...
After watching an exciting game last night between the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins, I turned on ESPN this morning to catch a little analysis of the showdown between Crosby and Ovechkin.
And I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Despite the fact that the game came down to the last goal in a shutout, it took around 45 minutes to hear news of any hockey from Sportscenter. When they finally did highlight the ...
Washington Capitals’ Image Is Tarnished by Steroid Investigation
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Renee Perron in NHL
The Washington Capitals have been in the news a lot lately. Fortunately for the Caps, it's because they've had a lot of wins. They've been breaking records left and right, and are considered one of the front-runners for the Stanley Cup this year.
Tonight, that good press changed.
The Washington Post reported that Dr. Douglas Owen Nagel, a Washington-area chiropractor with ties to the team, is being investigated for alleged charges ...
Ovechkin’s Return, Strong Defense Lead Washington Capitals to Win
Posted: 21st March 2010 by Renee Perron in NHL
Last night Capitals fans breathed a sigh of relief when they say Alex Ovechkin back on the ice. After serving his two-game suspension the team's captain came back and helped his team beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-1.
At first, Ovechkin seemed to be getting used to the ice again, but after an impressive breakaway goal in the first period he was back to his old self.
Ovechkin has been criticized recently ...
At first glance, last night's Washington Capitals game doesn't look that bad. All things considered (especially the absence of Alex Ovechkin), a 4-3 loss in overtime isn't a shut-out, and it's far from pathetic.
But for a team that has broken records consistently throughout the season, last night's loss means a lot more.
If you look at the stats from last night's game, the teams are almost even in terms of shots ...
Which Goalie Will The Caps Trust The Playoffs With, Varly Or Theodore?
Posted: 17th March 2010 by Renee Perron in NHL
After clinching their third straight Southeast Division last week the Washington Capitals are in playoff mode. Despite the notable absence of Alex Ovechkin the team looked pretty sharp last night as they ripped apart the Panthers in a 7-3 win.
As the team keeps racking up wins, fans can't help but wondering what's going to happen in goal after the season's over.
Just like last year, Jose Theodore is entering playoff ...
