So, I'm tired of people bashing the Thrashers saying we are going to be bottom feeders, we suck, and that Kovalchuk is leaving at the trade deadline for a "true hockey team" (Which always ends up with the team being located in Canada).Not a damn thing in that list is going to happen.Get you heads on straight people, this Thrashers team is going to blow past people. In the ...
Miami Dolphins vs. San Diego Chargers Preview: West Coast Wildcat
Posted: 25th September 2009 by Jeffrey Boswell in NFL
Note: The quotes in this article are fictional.
LaDainian Tomlinson is in a walking boot, Philip Rivers was fined for taunting, and San Diego has serious shortcomings on defense. Oh how the Chargers long for the time when the unsubstantiated claims of a ditzy, C-list, mildly retarded reality star were their only worries.
"Well, it seems as though we've rid ourselves of one 'wildcat,'" says Norv Turner, "just in time for another. ...
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans: A Prelude To 0-3?
Posted: 25th September 2009 by James Walker in NFL
Attention Jacksonville Jaguars fan base, or what is left of it. The Jaguars will be on television this week!
Seriously, the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the road again to take on the Houston Texans. Unlike the Jaguars, the Texans won last week while on the road against the Tennessee Titans. Frankly, I'm not confident that the Jaguars will do the same this week.
If the Jaguars are to win, they will ...
If the Houston Texans’ D Line Stands Up, Jacksonville Can’t Run Away With Game
Posted: 25th September 2009 by Robert Vega in NFL
Two games in and the Texans are 1-1, although not in the manner most expected.
After falling in the opener against the Jets, the team fell behind early at Tennessee, but was able to rebound for a heart-attack inducing win.
Looking out a few weeks at the schedule, most Texans fans may have reason to be optimistic.
I, however, am more paranoid than most.á
My paranoia does not stem from the CIA and ...
Hypothetically Speaking: The Justin Verlander Contract Extension?
Posted: 25th September 2009 by Josh Levitt in MLB
After a strangely inconsistent 2008, Justin Verlander has regained his form and established himself as one of the top pitchers in baseball. In the much tougher American League, Verlander has put together a tremendous, and at times dominant, season. He is 17-9 with a 3.41 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and most impressive of all: 256 K in 217 IP.Verlander has become the ace that everyone thought he'd become. I'd like to ...
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have stumbled out of the starting blocks this season. They're 0-2 but Raheem Morris says not to panic, it's time to keep believing in his young team. With that in mind, here are five major questions regarding this team as it goes through last-minute preparations for its Sunday home game against the powerful New York Giants:

Pennant Chase Preview | Detroit Tigers @ Chicago White Sox
Posted: 25th September 2009 by Zac Snyder in MLB
The Detroit Tigers head to Chicago for their final road series of the season. The White Sox are coming off a sweep at the hand of those pesky Minnesota Twins and are winners of just two of their last ten. The AL Central's third best team is fading fast, a trend the Tigers hope continues.
Meanwhile, the Tigers will keep an eye on Kansas City where the Twins will run ...
