David Garrard Scouting Report

The Jaguars have been waiting for this broken ankle for the past 3 years. Ever since picking up David Garrard in the 4th round of the ‘02 draft, Jags brass have been telling the world how good this guy really is. 2002 was a lean draft year for QBs, with only David Carr and Joey [...]

Week 12: Some Teams Are So Bad It’s Scary

The Green Bay Packers are a schoolyard team. Let’s face it, they’ve got absolutely nothing. So they play undisciplined football because Brett Favre has the reins. There’s no way Mike Sherman can call him over to the sidelines and tell him he’s got to make better reads. He’s throwing to Antonio Chatman! He’s handing the [...]

BJ Ryan and the Midas Touch

It’s all over the AP wires by now, and even Yahoo’s got it as their front-page story: BJ Ryan, the former lefty-reliever extraordinaire for the Baltimore Orioles, is on the verge of signing a 5 year/$47 million deal with the Blue Jays. Apparently that’s the second biggest contract ever offered to an RP. Mariano Rivera [...]

Joey and Charles, How Chivalrous.

Think you can play in the NFL? No, really. Do you think you can play in the NFL? Probably not, right? There are times I think I could haul in screen passes, or hit the hole, but I’m not delusional. Football is for man-mountains with 15-inch forearms and 4.33 speed. But how good do you [...]

The Greatest of Our Time?

Here is a post from guest writer Carey Tepperman which actually came to me via email. Carey is the most passionate hockey fan I know and definitely doesn’t shy away from controversy with his thoughts. Enjoy and thanks to Carey for allowing us to post.
I have just returned from taking in the Leafs/Rangers game down [...]

Reggie Faulk…I Mean Reggie Bush Scouting Report

Twenty-three carries for 294 yards! Twenty-three carries for 294 yards! That was Reggie Bush’s Saturday night. While most of us east coasters were watching the cool side of the pillow, Reggie was racking up 362 total yards and 2 TDs. Fresno State looked good. They looked very good. But they still couldn’t stop Reggie.
At 6′0″ [...]

Pro-Line Value: Week 11

Every week ushers in a Pro-Line card with significant discrepancies between the Vegas line and the OLGC. It’s something to consider while making your picks. Sometimes the OLGC’s trying to force you to take a team, sometimes they’re just guessing at line movements.
Carolina vs. Chicago: Vegas has the Panthers as 3 point favourites. Pro-Line [...]

Seahawks Letdown On The Way?

Seattle opened 12 point favourites against San Francisco. The line’s up to 13. After notching a 31-16 over the Rams last week the ‘Hawks are on a nice little run. They’ve won 7 of the last 8, and they’re 1st in the NFC West by a comfortable 3-game margin.
What about San Francisco? Well, at [...]

Mewelde Moore Scouting Report: What About Mewelde?

Just when it looked like Michael Bennett had reclaimed the Vike’s starting gig at RB he comes up with a 19 rush/16 yard Meadowlands flop. Bennett had gone off for 106 yards on 18 carries in Week 9. But that was at home, indoors, and, most importantly, against Detroit.
Bennett has starter’s speed, but he lacks [...]

New Blue Jay Flying North This Winter?

He’s not front-page news, but AJ Burnett’s where baseball’s at in Toronto right now. They just don’t care too much about stickball up here. Especially in November. So are the Jays going to pick up AJ? Well, I think you might call this one a definite maybe.
“We’re going to make an offer,” general manager [...]

Howie Kendrick Scouting Report

Just thought I’d rattle off a quick scouting report on one of the AL’s hottest prospects, with one of the AL’s blandest names. He’s a 2B for the Angels and he’s coming off a huge season split between A/AA. If you’ve never heard of him before it’s only because his name is Howie.
Howie Kendrick hit [...]

Rebutting Adam Proteau’s Letter To Lindros

Look, I don’t think any Toronto Maple Leaf’s fan will lie to you and say they were not happy when #88 finally landed in town and dawned the Maple Leaf’s blue and white. Perhaps it was because he was actually happy, perhaps it was because so many people already had gone out and bought Lindros [...]

For The Little Men

Seeing as I am not a basketball wizard and need to get most of my information about the NBA from other sites, without a doubt one of my favourites is True Hoop by Henry Abbot.
So a shout out to all the little guys out there via Henry…Today Henry posted a great link to a video [...]

The NHL’s Newest Penalty: $1000 For Being An Idiot

This really is the new NHL. Sean Avery, the Los Angeles Kings’ centre with the golden tongue, picked up a $1000 fine for an alleged dive in a November 3 game at Phoenix. There was no penalty called on the play, but league disciplinarian Colin Campbell reviewed the tape in his New York office and [...]

The NHL Advertisements Are Stupid

The NHL marketing department is just plain stupid.
I am not an advertising genious by any stretch (if I was, more of you would be reading this article),
but I can tell you one thing if I was in any sort of marketing position at the NHL I would have enough brains to figure out that [...]

The NHL’s Best New Rule

Over the past while the love affair in Canada with the NHL has resulted in extra coverage in sports sections across the country and hockey being sure to lead the sports news (though again we are still “banned” from ESPN). So while I have decided not to turn this article into one about why I [...]

Yao Vs. Shaq

Yao’s going off for 19 points and 9 boards/game. Obviously that’s not enough for a Rockets team that’s 2-4. The interesting thing, at least to me, is that his production didn’t climb in McGrady’s absence. He was the same old 19 ppg Yao. That kind of production is just not commensurate with his tremendous skill [...]
