New York Mets Star-Signing Is Still the Wrong Move
Posted: 5th January 2010 by Sam Fogelgaren in MLB
Congratulations to the Mets. After all those other teams' offseason signings where Omar Minaya appeared to be sleeping (literally), the Mets finally made a move, signing former Pittsburgh Pirate and Boston Red Sock (is that the singular?), Jason Bay.á
Bay, 2004 Rookie of the Year in the National League, is a great player. A top-15 outfielder without a question, probably even top 10.á
But the Mets signed the wrong guy.á
The Mets have ...
Presumably, today was the last game Jim Zorn will coach with the Washington Redskins, or at least for the near future.á
Zorn, over two seasons as Redskins coach, has gone 12-20, including an abysmal 4-12 season in 2009. This brings up the question, is Jim Zorn the worst coach of the decade?
Well, let's look at some of the other bad coaches of the decade.
Dave Campo went 5-11 in each of his ...
Well, now that the decade is over, it's time to look back and see all those bad decisions that (cough, Matt Millen, cough) all 32 NFL teams, made in the NFL Drafts of this decade. Of course, if you're talking about this past decade and NFL draft busts, who better to be on the front of the slideshow than a Detroit Lions wide receiver. Can you guess who it is? ...
Help Wanted: Tutor for Jets QB…Yes, Kerry Collins, We’re Talking To You
Posted: 29th December 2009 by Sam Fogelgaren in NFL
Mark Sanchez needs help.
The Southern California star has more talent than you need to be a great quarterback, but he doesn't quite have all the quarterback common sense you need to be great.á
That's why the Jets need a mentor backup for Sanchez.
They should have had one this year, but that's an argument for a different day.áLook at the NFL right now and look at all the QBs, young or veteran, ...
Hey bleacher report, its been a long time since my last post.
I've been busy with many different things the last three of four months,so I haven't really had a chance to post anything on b/r. But now I'm back, at least for the next week or so to talk about whatever is going on in sports (except for Tiger Woods). So here's a little piece about yet another Yankee mistake.

Yankees Fans Not Satisfied with 6-1 Start to the Playoffs
Posted: 22nd October 2009 by Sam Fogelgaren in MLB
I had the chance to attend Game 2 of the ALCS this past weekend, in which the Yankees took on the Angels.á
First off, let me say it was the most exciting game I have ever gone to.
Sitting in Section 202 of the bleachers, I had a great view of the game, and an even better scent of all the drunk fans around me.
Better yet was the atmosphere.á
There were many ups ...
Omar Vizquel was never a dominating offensive player.
With a career batting average of .273 and never having more than 14 home runs in a season, Vizquel was not an "offensive player" by any stretch of the imagination.
But a defensive player, that he was.
Vizquel's 11 Gold Gloves speak for themselves, and his presence on the baseball field, even now at the tender age of 42 with the Texas Rangers, is still ...
Pray That Bray Stay out Of The Way: How Braylon Edwards Can Succeed in NY
Posted: 9th October 2009 by Sam Fogelgaren in NFL
Braylon Edwards is best known for his fabulous 2007 season when he tallied 80 catches, 1289 yards, and 16 touchdowns.á
What Edwards is also known for is his extreme inconsistency, tendency to drop numerous passes and legal record.á
A combination of his talent and run-ins with the law led him to the clubhouse of the New York Jets.
As expected, Edwards arrival caused mixed reactions among Jets fans.
There were those who thought the ...
The Washington Redskins are currently 1-2, with their one win being a two-point win over the lowly touted St. Louis Rams. They even lost to the Detroit Lions, ending the Lions' 19-game losing streak.
When you barely beat the Rams, lose to the Lions, and have Albert Haynesworth and London Fletcher in your front seven, you have problems.
Redskins head coach Jim Zorn didn't raise any heads last season as the team ...
If the N.Y. Yankees Sign Aroldis Chapman, Pay Last Respects to MLB Free Agency
Posted: 23rd September 2009 by Sam Fogelgaren in MLB
Dear baseball fans,
You should now be on panic mode. The weeks and days are coming closer to a possible overthrowing of the free agency system, and it could all come at the hands of Aroldis Chapman.
Not that Chapman has done, or for that matter, will do anything wrong. The 21-year-old Cuban defected a few months ago and is now looking for a way into the greatest baseball league in the ...
