Charlie Whitehurst: The Clemson Magician Takes over in Seattle
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Tommy Bertolino in NFL
OK. So Magician maybe a bit over the top. Agreed. However, with the lack of NFL experience—and I mean lack—the only football production we can rest any hope on is Charlie at Clemson. So, let's take a look at a small but paramount sample size: his 2005 senior season.
Charlie Whitehurst's 2005 statistics
- 229 comp in 340 att's for 2,483 yds.
- 67.4 completion percentage.
- 11 td's and 10 int's in 11 ...
Given the severity of the hit on Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook I completely understand why he is pissed off at Anaheim Ducks defenseman (and his friend) James Wisnewski.That said, it is a long know fact that once the puck drops there are no friends on the ice, always has and always will be that way. I suspect once Seabrook has time to reflect on this that he will realize ...
On Lundqvist’s Rough Nights the Rangers Can’t Win
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Broadway Hockey Daily in NHL
It’s true that the really good teams in the NHL have big star power, but despite stars like Marian Gaborik and Henrik Lundqvist the Rangers have been mediocre all season long.
That’s because good teams find ways to win and get contributions from many different areas. The Rangers have the second worst offense in the Atlantic Division (only the Panthers are worse) despite a dominating 37 goal performance from Gaborik this ...
Fresh off of back-to-back loses against Montreal and St. Louis, the Rangers find themselves outside the playoffs looking in. They're not just outside the door, they’re in a taxi driving uptown (but still within viewing distance).
They’re moving out of view quickly though, so I thought now would be a good time to take a look at the standings to see exactly how fast they are driving away.
Rangers current ...
Can you believe that Georgetown was upset in the first-round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament?
Nobody cares.
Stop watching the NCAAs and get your focus back on hockey.
This season has featured a number of standout goaltenders in the NHL. While some goalies have been more consistent than others, this year’s Vezina Trophy race for goalie of the year should be a memorable one.
Before I start, many of you will probably be ...
New York Yankees Cut Two More: Pope and Sanchez
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Bronx Baseball Daily in MLB
The Yankees have sent two more players, right handed pitchers Romulo Sanchez and Ryan Pope, to the minor league camp cutting the total number left in camp down to 50, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com .
Not that either player had a realistic shot at making the team out of spring training, but the bigger shock here is with Sanchez. Not in the fact that he was cut, but that ...
Don’t Expect Rule 5 Draftee Texeira to Return
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Bronx Baseball Daily in MLB
Kanekoa Texeira is a hard-throwing right handed pitcher who the Yankees got as part of the trade with the White Sox for Nick Swisher.
Pitching in double-A Trenton last season, he went 9-6 with a 2.84 ERA in 41 games and 101.1 innings. Good, but not great, numbers.
Unfortunately for Texeira and the Yankees, he didn’t have the outstanding talent to warrant protection on the 40-man roster, and he was drafted by ...
Peter Bourjos: A Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Source Of Stolen Bases
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Eric Stashin in MLB
Speed is something fantasy owners are always on the hunt for. It doesn’t matter if the player can hit for average or power, as long as he can steal bases, he’s going to have some value.
Peter Bourjos, a prospect for the Los Angeles Angels, has been flying under the radar. But he could burst onto the scene in 2010 and become a must-own fantasy option quickly, thanks to what he ...
With the NFL Draft less than five weeks away the process for franchises selecting, up and coming talent from the colligate level is in full swing.
Many players throughout the years have slipped through the cracks and have become NFL starlets.
For many young men around the country the 2010 NFL Draft weekend will be somewhat of a disappointment.
Being undrafted is not the be all and all of a players career, ...
NFL Mock Draft 2010: Could Ndamukong Suh Plummet to No. 8?
Posted: 20th March 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
In a word, no. However, this is not what Bucky Brooks of nfl.com thinks. In his latest mock draft Brooks has Suh dropping all the way to the Raiders at number eight. Brooks' predictions shocked me so much I decided to look at all of the teams he had passing on Suh. This article will look at all seven teams ahead of the Raiders and analyze whether or not he ...
