It Might Be Time For the Suns to Start From Scratch

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

The Phoenix Suns were a Western Conference powerhouse for years under Mike D'Antoni's "seven-seconds-or-less-offense".  It propelled the Suns to an average of 58 wins per season during his final four years in the desert but the team could never get over the hump.  In June 2007 Steve Kerr took over ...

Brandon Roy and the Blazers Are Eager to Get the Season Started

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

  Brandon Roy may be one of the most underrated players in the NBA.  When he came out of Washington, he was overlooked by a number of teams and I don’t know if anybody really expected him to get to this level in his career.  However, even though he doesn’t get ...

Kris Jenkins: “I knew what the pop felt like and with it happening a second time, it was about the same.”

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

What is going on with the New York Jets? They got off to a 3-0 start and since then they have lost three straight games in a span of fourteen days. This defense looks sluggish and at times lost on the football field. That doesn’t seem like a Rex Ryan ...

Chad Ochocinco Says He Tweeted Roger Goodell to Tell Him Not to Fine Ray Lewis

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I always waffle on whether or not Chad Johnson  (oops Chad Ochocinco) is good for the game of football.  On one hand, as a former sports radio guy, he's tremendous.  He's unpredictable, strange, very quotable, and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously off the field.  On the flip side, ...

Lorenzo Neal Thinks Norv Turner May Have Lost LaDainian Tomlinson and the Rest of the Chargers

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

  Lorenzo Neal spent much of his NFL career in San Diego with the Chargers and he spent a number of years blocking for LaDainian Tomlinson.  He was one of the fiercest competitors in the game and one of the best blocking fullbacks that I can remember watching.  After listening to ...

Eddie Royal: “You never know what you can do when you’re playing for each other.”

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

The Denver Broncos continued their unbeaten start to the NFL season with a huge 34-23 victory against division rival, the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football to move to 6-0.  Eddie Royal was a big help for the big win, but not so much on offense or defense.  Eddie Royal became ...

Larry Bird: “Being inducted with Magic at the same time is just great”

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

The 1979 NCAA Tournament championship game will go down as one of the most influential college basketball games ever played. It was Magic Johnson of Michigan State vs. Larry Bird of Indiana State that faced off against each other, but it was Magic who got the best of Larry that ...

Will Witherspoon- “It was a surprise, it’s understandable. It’s a game of business too.”

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Trades happen during the season and rarely do big names move in the middle of the season. The trade deadline came and went yesterday and not that many players were moved.  The Eagles were light at middle linebacker with scheduled starter Stewart Bradley out with a torn knee ligament, and ...

Mike Singletary on Michael Crabtree: “When You See This Kid on the Field, You Know He’s Got to Play”

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

  The 49ers did not really go into the bye week the way they wanted to.  Even though they went into their off-week with a 3-2 record and a lead in the NFC West, the last game they played they got belted by the Atlanta Falcons and looked pitiful on offense.  ...

Jim Zorn: “I think it’s going to be very difficult, but we all are going to have this challenge before us and we’re going to make the best of it.”

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Jim Zorn is the talk of the town in Washington D.C. and across the National Football League. And it's not for anything positive that he's done recently. Zorn is essentially the laughing stock of the league - at least among the vast fanbase here in the States and abroad. The ...
