That's right Mets fans.á The Mets won a game.á
They moved the Florida Marlins, the team that has dashed the Mets playoff hopes on the last day of the season for the last two years, one step closer to post season elimination by scoring two runs in the top of the ninth inning off Marlins closer Leo Nunez to come from behind for the victory.
Daniel Murphy and Jeff Francoeur got the ...
Does anyone remember Graham Harrell? The former quarterback for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, had an illustrious career as a three year starter for the Red Raiders. He won the Sammy Baugh Award in 2007, and an All-American in 2008 and won the Johny Unitas Golden Arm award that same year as well.
Where is he now? The Canadian Football League. Quarterbacks such as Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman, ...
Packers’ Jekyll and Hyde Run Defense Prepares For NFL’s Elite Runners
Posted: 26th September 2009 by Gerrard Diaz in NFL
The PackersÆdefense should thank Cedric Benson.
What better way to prepare for facing Steven Jackson and Adrian Peterson than by giving up 141 yards, 12-yards at a time? Better to know your run defense needs work before youÆre in the midst of a two-week span against two of the NFLÆs most dangerous backs.
ôSometimes youÆre going to have some bumps in the road,ö PackersÆdefensive line coach Mike Trgovac said of ...
Week two consisted of a mix of atypical and ho-hum finishes. The Patriots faltering at the expense of a very loquacious Jets team is currently classified as a shock. But down the road, when we see that this Jets team is legitimate and the Patriots don't have the horses to protect Brady this win will not be looked upon with the same regard.
Meanwhile, under the "what else is new?" category, ...
Red Wings’ Run of Excellence Taken for Granted in Detroit
Posted: 26th September 2009 by Greg Eno in NHL
I was in New York, one of my favorite towns, and I started walking. It was a June day, some 18 years ago, and if you havenÆt been to New York in June, then your life officially has a missing ingredient.
I set out around Times Square and headed north, up Sixth Avenue, from around 42nd Street. Maybe a half hour or so had passed when I decided to stop and ...
Tina Cervasio Invites Fans From Both Sides of Rivalry to Garden of Dreams Event
Posted: 26th September 2009 by Todd Civin in MLB
As the Red Sox and the Yankees prepare for game two of their nearly meaningless series in the Bronx, one can't help but think of the long list of players whose career resume included stints on both sides of the Massachusetts-New York line.
There is, of course, none more renowned than the Babe and the vaunted curse which hovered over Beantown for the better half of a century following his ...

Posted: 26th September 2009 by Amanda Bruno in MLB
It was one scary scene Friday night in the Bronx for Red Sox fans.
Jon Lester, who is projected to be the Game 1 starter in the playoffs, was drilled in the right leg in the third inning off aáMelky Cabrera line drive.
á
He hit the ground, screaming in pain. It was every Sox fansÆworst nightmare coming true in a matter of seconds.

Luckily, x-rays turned up negative and the left-handed ace ...

This morning I woke up at 7 a.m. and, in my normal routine, Iáswitched on NBA TV. The 1988 All-Star game was playing. While composing my "Tendon-Gate"article, and hearing Dick Stockton doing the play by play in the background, I had to stopáand watch.
"Tendon-Gate" was on hold for now...
As I watched, I realized this may have been the game that encompassed ...
Looking Ahead to Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens
Posted: 26th September 2009 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
Most Cleveland fans are looking forward to this game like most people look forward to a trip to the dentist.
After reading various other preview articles and running down the rosters, I see no point in doing any kind of typical matchup or "Here's what we need to do to win."
The reason?
This team is terrible.
The Detroit Lions have a better chance of winning on Sunday than the Browns do, and the ...
