An Avalanche of Possibilities

Heading into the new season, the Colorado Avalanche hopes to regain their spot as one of the league’s elite.
“I like our chances, right away, to compete for a Cup,” said captain Joe Sakic.
It’s just like old times for Denver. And unfortunately for everyone else in the NHL, the Avs have what it takes to win, [...]

TSC NHL Season Preview

Finally the country of Canada will be back to normal. This Saturday, Hockey Night in Canada returns to sooth hockey fans from the tip of Newfoundland to the shores of British Columbia, who have not had a whiff of NHL hockey since June.
With the arrival of the new NHL campaign, the heavy predictions are rolling [...]

If Fashion Decided the Cup…

In what will amount to my NHL preview, what would the world be like if a team’s style determined the standings? Yeah it would probably suck, but with the influx of these new jersey styles it’s time to take a look at who looks good and who makes me want to puke.
Keep in mind these [...]

Is Twenty Too Much or Too Little?

The National Hockey League announced today that Steve Downie is suspended 20 games for his cheap hit on Dean McAmmond. But is twenty the right number?
Does this send a message to other players around the league in an attempt to prevent future hits to the heads? Or is it too harsh as there have been [...]

Marion Wants Out of Phoenix

On the contrary to Grossman’s demotion, this does come as a surprise.
Shawn Marion has come out publicly stating that he is sick of hearing his name in trade rumors, and it’s time for him to move on with his career.
“The Matrix” has been through everything in Phoenix. He was an all-star before Steve Nash, before [...]

Rex Out, Griese In

It didn’t come as a surprise to many people, but Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith didn’t show any love to quarterback Rex Grossman by making it official that he has been demoted to the number two slot on the Bears’ depth chart, moving veteran Brian Griese to the starting position.
Grossman was putting up atrocious [...]

Finalists Falter a Year After

Make it to the finals one year, end your season early the next.
This was a familiar scenario for all eight finalists of 2006 from the top four sports leagues in North America. What am I talking about? Here, take a look.
Let’s start off with Major League Baseball. In ‘06, the St.Louis Cardinals defeated the Detroit [...]

Proposed Rule Changes May Turn Hockey Into Mockery

Well the last three days in the world of the National Hockey League have seemed just a tad dismal, wouldn’t you say? Talk about rule changes to increase scoring and the talk of increasing the size of the nets, etc, etc.
Didn’t we already discuss these matters?
The nets do not need to be increased, there doesn’t [...]

Bigger Nets, Goalies Quit

It’s harsh but true.
The NHL is thinking about making nets bigger, and if that happens, it just might not bode well with goaltenders around the league.
Yesterday, Roberto Luongo came out and said it.
“If that day comes, I don’t think you’d see me in the NHL,” he said. “I’d rather retire.”
Pretty big comment from one of [...]

McAllister out, Saints f*cked

0-16 anyone? The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time for the New Orleans Saints, who will now be without the services of workhorse running back Deuce McAllister for the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL.
With all the talk of New England running the table right to the Super Bowl [...]

Mike Gundy Throws Some D’s at that bitch

By now you’ve no doubt seen Oklahoma State’s head football coach Mike Gundy go ballistic on Daily Oklahoma reporter Jenni Carlson.
An article she had written insinuated that quarterback Bobby Reid was soft and yes it was an attack on his character, not quite deserving of Gundy’s tirade but an attack nevertheless.
Putting the ridiculous sound bite [...]

Downie Already Causing Headaches at NHL Level

Pardon the headline. It is not meant to be funny in any way, shape, or form. Fact of the matter is that Steve Downie is literally causing headaches at the NHL level.
On Tuesday night, the former two-time gold medalist with Team Canada at the 2006 and 2007 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships, hit [...]

Who You Should Be Taking In Your Pool

Ah yes, the new NHL season is just around the corner. It is so close, it’s got a stronger aroma to it then those honey-garlic chicken wings that have been cooking in your mind since the playoffs ended in June.
With the arrival of the new NHL season comes all the perks for the fans, [...]

Quick Fact of the Day

Ever wondered where fantasy football came from?
In 1963 the first league, the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League, included mainly people involved with the Oakland Raiders and the Oakland Tribune newspaper. Bill Winkenbach, Bill Tunnell, Scotty Stirling, George Ross, and Philip Carmona are credited with forming said league while on an eastern road-trip with the [...]

U.S. Bonds

Got $800,000 laying around and looking for something to do with it?
Well you’re too late now but if you had been a little more on the ball, you could have picked up the baseball that Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron’s all-time home run record with, and you could have decided just what the hell you [...]
