Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

The NBA regular season ends tonight and that means the playoffs are right around the corner. I can’t wait. The Eastern Conference seems to be pretty wide open right now. The Celtics are the defending Eastern Conference Champs but they have not looked like a championship team since they traded ...

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

It’s early in the season, but if you haven’t been paying attention, the Cleveland Indians are the hottest team in all of baseball. Even though their eight game winning streak came to an end last night at the hands of Dan Haren and the Angels, the Tribe have gotten off ...

With Potential Coach of the Year Guiding Them, Can Chicago Bulls Win it All?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

With Derrick Rose paving the way, the Chicago Bulls were always going to be pretty good and very entertaining. A first-place team out of the East? That seemed a bit far-fetched. After all, the East has the Big Three in Miami, an experienced championship group in Boston and another team ...

Corey Maciel Relives Horror of Opening Night at Dodgers Stadium

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

It's been nearly two weeks since Brian Stow was beaten outside Dodgers Stadium on opening day of the new baseball season. For what? Just being a fan of the rival San Francisco Giants. There are still no arrests to my knowledge, but at least Stow is in stable condition and on ...

Joe Dumars Is Not Without Blame for the Pistons Disappointing Season

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

The days of the Detroit Pistons winning nearly 60 games in the regular season and competing for an NBA Championship again seem like a long way away.
