NFL Mock Draft 4.0: Eric Berry Among Some of the Underrated
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Jack M in NFL
Eric Berry is a saftey out of the University of Tennessee. He is the top safety on nearly everyone's draft board. And he is a projected first round pick, most likely being in the top five.
Does this sound like an underrated player?
No. Well, at least not on the outside, but when you look deeper things begin to change.
The past months leading up to the draft have focused on different things. It started with ...
Cleveland Browns 2010 NFL Draft: Is This the Year to Draft a QB?
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Hugh Shannon in NFL
With all of the discussion on the Cleveland Browns drafting a quarterback in the 2010 draft, the questions have focused on: Who should Cleveland take? and What round should the Browns use a draft pick for a QB?
Should we be asking a different question?
Next year's draft will see the likes of Washington senior Jake Locker, Ricky Stanzi of Iowa and Florida State's Christian Ponder as well as the possible early entry of Arkansas' Ryan Mallett, Blaine Gabbert ...
Spring Training Stats Don’t Matter: Example B, Jon Weber
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Bronx Baseball Daily in MLB
When it comes to spring training and statistics I am a non-believer. I am obsessed with watching the games, but it is more to get a feel for the players involved and it hardly ever matters to me who won, who lost, or if the players do really well or really poorly. Sure, part of me cringes a little bit if someone has a horrible day, ...
Who’s Had the Better Offseason: New England Patriots or New York Jets?
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Phil Shore in NFL
Last season, the two top teams in the AFC East were the division champion New England Patriots and the New York Jets.
In the playoffs, the Patriots burned out fast, getting blown apart at home by the Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, the wild card Jets surprised everyone by making it to the AFC Championship game before bowing out to the Indianapolis Colts.
The two teams seem to continue to be going about their ...
The LA Lakers Can’t Avoid Drama as Andrew Bynum Goes Down Again
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Hadarii Jones in NBA
The Los Angeles Lakers have a hard enough time staying under the radar as it is, but at a time when the Lakers have began to show vestiges of the championship team of 2009, an injury to Andrew Bynum is the last thing you want to hear.
The Laker faithful have been critical of Bynum and his inconsistent play, and some had even called for Bynum to be resigned to the ...
Finally, the right job for Michael Jordan.
Jordan was formally approved Wednesday as the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. Jordan bought controlling interest in the Bobcats from Bob Johnson for nearly $300 million.
Jordan now becomes the first former NBA player to own an NBA team. Let that sink in.
Jordan has been a front office executive for two NBA teams, most recently the Bobcats, and before that an ...
Chris Bosh Vs. LaMarcus Aldridge: Not Who’s Better, but Who Really Fits?
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Drew Barton in NBA
In response to a recent post explaining why I elected not to renew my season tickets largely due to the trade of Travis Outlaw, I was asked what I thought of the LaMarcus Aldridge for Chris Bosh trade rumors . In some respects it is an intriguing question, and one that is difficult for me to be objective about. I freely admit to being a huge LaMarcus Aldridge ...
The Rangers’ Best 2009 Draft Pick: Chris Kreider
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Broadway Hockey Daily in NHL
The Rangers best draft pick in 2009 is first round pick, 19th overall, center Chris Kreider. At least, according to Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News he is.
Kennedy recently did a run-down on each team’s best picks from 2009 and that’s who he picked for the Rangers:
NY Rangers – Chris Kreider, C (19th overall): Speedy as hell, Kreider was great at the world juniors, as was fellow Blueshirts ...
2010 MLB Spring Training: Seattle Mariners News and Notes
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Adam Bernacchio in MLB
Is it me, or are the Seattle Mariners either doing something or have something going on that makes headlines every day?
I woke up this morning and there they were again. I guess if you notice a team’s news and notes on a regular basis, it means they are relevant—and the Mariners will certainly be relevant in 2010.
Since the Mariners had a couple of relevant stories going on, I decided to ...
Detroit Lions’ Recent Signings Have Third Unit Shaping Up To Be Truly Special
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Michael Schottey in NFL
On March 19, while most NFL eyes were centered on whether or not Adam "Pacman" Jones worked out (he did) and signed with an NFL team (he didn't), the Detroit Lions announced a smaller but still notable addition.
Landon Johnson, a seventh-year linebacker out of Purdue, signed a one-year contract with the Lions, reuniting him with his former special teams coach, Danny Crossman. Johnson was drafted in the third round by ...
