Love Him or Hate Him, Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre Got What He Deserved
Posted: 21st March 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
I'll be honest, when I saw Favre's reaction to the Saints winning the championship game, I wanted to feel sorry for him.
Badly.
But after thinking about it, I've come to my final conclusion. Brett Favre got what he deserved. And here's why.
And Before I get the reasons why he deserved this, I just want to make something clear. The real reason that I'm writing this article is because whenever us Packer ...
For years, the Chargers-Raiders rivalry has been well documented. Often it is a horrible event that causes further irritation.
Yeah wer'e both in the AFC West. Yeah, there's been tension since the 60's. Yeah, the Raiders fans have a nasty reputation.
But, people are people, and quite honestly, I have a lot of respect for the Raiders fans, they fully support their team in a season of 4-11 or a Super Bowl title. ...
Is Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers the Next Steve Young? Only Time Will Tell
Posted: 21st March 2010 by Ryan Cook in NFL
When it comes to professional sports, there are only a handful of things that are harder than following legends.
Through retirement or simply moving onto another team, it seems after a decade we pass through, there is at least one case of a future Hall of Famer moving on to the next best thing and leaving the unlucky and unprepared sole behind him to fill-in and take the helm.
It's kind ...
Could Former Florida Gator QB Tim Tebow Land with the San Diego Chargers?
Posted: 21st March 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
While rumors of Tim Tebow coming to San Diego aren't exactly brewing, in my opinion, I think its a very likely possibility actually.
Most draft boards currently have him slipping into the third and fourth round.
If the Chargers see him on the board in the third round, after nose tackle and running back needs are met, I would hope that they would draft him.
I know what people will say,we have other ...
Why Pro Football Hall of Fame Fan Balloting Is A Terrible Idea
Posted: 21st March 2010 by Patrick Goulding II in NFL
In my opinion, NFL fans should have absolutely NO say in who gets enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Think about that for a minute. If you are like most NFL fans, you will take offense. Something deep and guttural within your being will rise up and shout, “NO! THAT’S NOT RIGHT! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE!”
Why should this notion illicit such opposition? Because it is “Un—American.” Well, ...
Colorado Rockies’ Ubaldo Jimenez: The Next Pedro Martinez
Posted: 21st March 2010 by David Martin in MLB
For years Major League pitchers have been cringing about taking the mound at Coors Field.
Veterans who had been extremely successful on other teams around the league watched their career ERA's vanish into the thin mile high air of Denver after they signed deals with the Rockies.
It was bad enough that many baseball experts openly wondered if the Rockies would ever be able to field a team capable of contending.
Two things ...
Gerald Laird: Catcher’s Improved Bat Could Unify Detroit Tigers Lineup
Posted: 21st March 2010 by Johnny Lawrence in MLB
Gerald Laird might have been the best catcher in baseball in 2009—defensively.
But Detroit's catcher forgot to pack his bat when he left Spring Training.
His seventh campaign was his most disappointing at the plate. In 413 at-bats, Laird limped to a .225 batting average, four homers, and 33 runs batted in, all while providing top-notch defense. With an on-base percentage well-below .300 (.278), he was a major blockage in Detroit's light-hitting ...
NFL Mock Draft 2010: Experts Tab Chiefs for Offensive Tackle, Logic Says No Way
Posted: 20th March 2010 by James Adkins in NFL
This is a message to all the so-called NFL Draft "experts" out there that continue to make the pitch that the Chiefs must draft a left tackle with the fifth overall selection in this year's draft.
Please analyze the Chiefs' pass-blocking last season before assuming that Scott Pioli feels the team's top need is a new left tackle!
Do a simple analysis of the number of sacks that the Chiefs ...
Trail Blazers Treatment of Kevin Pritchard is Completely Unjustified
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Chad Ridgeway in NBA
I don't know the name of every General Manager in the league, and I only care about the really good ones or the really bad ones. Kevin Pritchard of the Portland Trail Blazers is one of the really good ones.
And he's inexplicably close to getting fired.
Team President Larry Miller recently fired Pritchard's top aid, Tom Penn. Miller is non-committal about Pritchard's future, and the writing on the wall is so ...
Toronto Raptors Free Agent Chris Bosh: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Brad Norton in NBA
There is a popular Clash song, entitled "Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?" that we all sing along to every time we hear it on the radio. Well, that song has basically been the theme song for the possible crop of star NBA players who could become free agents at the end of this season.
People like Amare Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer have expressed they would like to resign with ...
