Top 10 receivers are almost impossible to lay your hands on at this point in the season. With so many big name running backs having off years you’re probably going to get the short-end of the deal in a RB-WR trade. So we may as well look for mediocre options on the FA wire or [...]

The new NHL has ushered in a new era of Pro-Line gambling: the game’s the same, the odds are worse.
Maybe you’ve looked in the paper or picked up an odds sheet before hopping on the Subway. Either way you probably wondered about the tie odds coming off at 6 or 7. Ordinarily I’d say [...]

“We have enough talent to beat the teams we’re supposed to beat. The fans should be upset if we don’t perform well. We certainly will be.”
That was David Carr speaking in the pre-season about his club’s 2005/2006 playoff hopes. The Texans, who were 7-9 last year, are off to an 0-5 start. Last fall they [...]

We’ve all seen the play. It’s been looped on the Times Square trinitron. It’s visible from space. It’s the defining moment of our century. Well it must be, given the amount of air-time it’s gotten. Maybe if we see it one more time…
It was a huge blown call with serious repercussions. And crazy as that [...]

It was 1996 and Mike Keenan had just walked off the ice after Team Canada’s first orientation camp practice. He shuffled into the coaches’ room and closed the door.

That kid was 23 year old Eric Lindros. Since being taken #1 overall in the ‘91 entry draft Lindros has had [...]

When Roberto Luongo was taken 4th overall in the 1997 entry draft no one batted an eyelash. Here was an 18 year-old kid from Montreal who’d put up a 3.12 GAA with a .910 Save % for Val D’Or of the QMJHL in the ‘96/’97 season. That might not seem too impressive on the surface, [...]

The White Sox capped off their Cinderella season by sweeping their footwear counterparts in Boston’s Red Sox out of the MLB playoffs. It wasn’t something people guessed would happen, but a White Sox series win can’t seem that far-fectched in retrospect. Boston trotted out 3 pitchers in Matt Clement, David Wells, and Tim Wakefield who [...]

We all remember Larry Rodriguez. Well, maybe you don’t recognize the name, but you remember the story: he’s the TV cameraman who was shoved by Kenny Rogers.
Rodriguez filed a lawsuit yesterday in a Tarrant County, Texas court, alleging Rogers injured him in an unprovoked attack.
Now the only thing missing from this story is the six-figure [...]

In 2001 Jon Daniels took a job with the Rockies, working under GM Dan O’Dowd. He left the next year, opting for an entry level job with the Rangers. This was two years after graduating from Cornell with a degree in applied economics and management.
Understand this: He took an entry-level job with the Rangers [...]

It’s a testament to the strength of Brett Favre’s character that he’s still playing for the Green Bay Packers. No, trades hardly ever happen in the NFL. But there are certain special circumstances that require athletes to shift from team-to-team every so often.
In almost every other professional sport you’ll hear the line “I just [...]
