Dirk Nowitzki Thinks This is His Best Team Yet… And Don Nelson Sits in Hot Tubs with Dogs

Mock Drafts Have Jimmy Clausen All Over the Board

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

The 2010 NFL Draft class is full of quality quarterbacks and each one of them was a proven winner in college.  Of all of the quarterbacks in the draft, Jimmy Clausen seems to be the most NFL-ready because he learned the pro-style offense under the tutelage of Charlie Weis, now ...

C.J. Spiller Has Set Some Lofty Goals for Himself in the NFL

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

When talking about the most electrifying college running backs of the last decade, you would be a fool if C.J. Spiller wasn’t one of the first names that came out of your mouth.  Spiller was excellent for Clemson over the last couple of years and was an all-purpose yardage machine.  ...

The 2010 NFL Draft is quickly approaching and nobody knows for certain whom the St. Louis Rams are going to select with the number one overall pick.  All signs point towards Sam Bradford going to play for Steve Spagnuolo in St. Louis, but with no pre-draft contract in place, there ...

When it comes to this summer’s free agent class, the big names are guys like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amar'e Stoudemire, and even Carlos Boozer.  However, one name that isn’t getting brought up much is David Lee.  David Lee has been stuck on a crappy Knicks team for ...

Tortoise or Hare? Channing Frye Faces His Former Team

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

There are two things that I think about when I think of Channing Frye: 1) despite having long arms and appearing thin in college at Arizona, he put up an Orlando Pre-draft Camp-best 19 reps on the bench press and 2) that doesn't matter anymore because he shoots threes. He ...

Eric Berry and Lane Kiffin Land Their Dream Jobs

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Former Tennessee football Head Coach Lane Kiffin may already be immortalized in the words of Lil Wayne, but former Tennessee head ball-hawk (and All-American safety) may soon be immortalized as one of the league's great safeties along with the likes of Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu. After one year together ...

Shaquille O’Neal is Not Concerned with any Other Team in the NBA Except His Own

Monday, April 19th, 2010

When Shaquille O’Neal injured his thumb in the middle of the regular season, it sent a sense of concern throughout Cleveland.  After all, Shaq was the guy that was brought in this offseason to take pressure off LeBron James and try to neutralize some of the opponents’ post players that ...

Monday, April 19th, 2010

For Atlanta Braves fans around the country, the last five seasons have been very disappointing.  After enjoying relatively great success during the last two decades, times are tough in Atlanta right now and the future is very uncertain.  This is Bobby Cox’s twenty-fifth and final season as the club’s skipper ...

Colt McCoy: “Coach Holmgren kind of compared me to Steve Young and Joe Montana.”

Monday, April 19th, 2010

There has been much debate lately as to whether Colt McCoy will be as successful in the NFL as he was in college.  Based upon wins, McCoy is college football’s all-time winningest quarterback and I can bet that he won’t be the NFL’s.  That is not taking a shot at ...
