Posted: 26th September 2009 by Andrew Ungvari in NBA
This article originally appeared on the all-new basketball website SirCharlesInCharge.á Uncontested Shots will debut on SCIC every Tuesday and Friday from now until at least the start of the NBA season, then re-post in its entirety on BleacherReport.com the next day.
WeÆre less than six days away from the NBAÆs first pre-season game between the Jazz and Nuggets. While most sports fans are still basking in the afterglow of the NFL ...
After the Colts' showcased a miserable display of run defense against the Dolphins on Monday, it shouldn't surprise anyone to see that the Cardinals are favored in the Sunday night matchup.
Watching Miami have their way with the Colts' defense must have Cardinal fans salivating at the possibility of what Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, and company can do.
While the prospect of Warner and Peyton Manning battling it out will be great ...

Titans at Jets (-3)

A lot of people think this is a letdown week for the Jets, but I think its too obvious.á That will come later against an easier team like the Bills.á Also, how much do we know after two weeks.á Maybe Tennessee sucks, ever think of that?á I did.á Jets.

Jaguars at Texans (-3.5)

This line seems too low, right?á Three points for home field, so youÆre saying these two ...

"The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ù Albert Einstein
Thinking back to last season, or even the last two for that matter, this time of year was full of excitement, both good and bad, for New York Mets fans.
That is not the case in 2009. Even the most optimistic of Mets fans will admit that their favorite team has been ...
Jeremy Sowers didn't really belong on a rotation with C.C. Sabathia, Fausto Carmona, Cliff Lee, and Jake Westbrook, who took the Cleveland Indians to the playoffs in 2007.
In fact, he was used mostly as a "replacement" pitcher, in the two years prior to the current one, meaning that he was called up when someone was injured and a rotation spot needed to be filled.
He was one of five who competed ...
Seattle Seahawks-Chicago Bears: The Tough Part Continues
Posted: 26th September 2009 by Sam Woods in NFL
"It's extremely unlikely Matt will play," said Jim Mora.
Am I alone in asking, "is this really that bad?"
The Bears' defense is one of the most aggressive in the league. Seneca is way more mobile than Hasselbeck. If Seneca makes the correct reads about when to run and when to pass, he could easily tire out this Bears defense.
Expect to see Knapp use this. I expect to see a lot of ...
Well here we are in week three. I surely expected to see the Cowboys coming off of an amazing homestand against the G-men, but it seems the Giants pulled off a huge upset in Dallas's new digs.
Romo's play was horrifying to watch, the secondary didn't show up, and Jason Witten assisted the Giants in a most peculiar fashion (bouncing a pass off his foot for a Giants INT). Really, the ...
The stretch towards the off-season finish line is slowly approaching, but the distance from here to there is too long to withstand.
The ache and pains of watching countless reruns on NBA TV is getting too much to handle. The games that they have shown are not that fascinating. Unless youÆre interested in Kwame Brown's first ever professional basketball game, the games have been weak.
But as I sat there watching Brown ...
I like to read the articles the day before the game. It let's me know how folks are thinking.
I am going to counter an argument, right now. One article was on the front page of B/R for a hot minute. By the time I finished this opposite opinion, it was not there. It predicted a loss, 20-6. I have an opposing opinion.
We are going to watch, fight and prey, and ...
Rhino Relief: Rinehart to Start For Redskins Against Detroit, and What It Means
Posted: 26th September 2009 by Dan Stalcup in NFL
I've been repeating it like a chorus since the offseason ended: The Redskins are very close to being a regularly competitive team. They have pretty decent talent and depth at most positions. The one glaring hole is depth in the O-line. With a starting squad that's 80 percent injury-prone or old, the lack of depth is a big problem.
The first stumble occurred last weekend when right guard Randy Thomas injured ...
