Henrik and Daniel Sedin—I put Henrik first not because he has more points than his brother this season, but because he is older by about six minutes—are identical to the fullest extent of the word.
Henrik is more of a play-maker, while Daniel is more of a goal-scorer—and this is one of the few differences you’ll find between the two.
Henrik stands at 6’2” and weighs 192 pounds. Meanwhile, Daniel stands an ...
Seattle Seahawks Land Charlie Whitehurst: Can He be Matt Hasselbeck Part Two?
Posted: 19th March 2010 by Todd Williams in NFL
Seattle has made their decision at quarterback. It is still going to be Hasselbeck under center to start 2010, but if they played their cards right, it will be Hasselbeck version II in Charlie Whitehurst for the future. Considering that many felt Seattle needed to do SOMETHING to secure the future of the QB position, it was a choice of drafting an unknown, or trading for a relatively ...
With a month before the NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns have had an active offseason. They have acquired several players to shore up weaknesses mostly on the offensive side of the ball.
In preparing this mock draft, it would be good to review the offseason transaction to date.
By Trade: QB Seneca Wallace
By Free Agent Acquisition: QB Jake Delhomme, QB Tyler Palko, TE Ben Watson, OT Tony ...
Desert Blooms: Will Derek Anderson’s Career Be Revived with Arizona Cardinals?
Posted: 19th March 2010 by Hugh Shannon in NFL
Former Browns quarterback Derek Anderson was an All-Pro in 2007.
With a strong running back in Jamal Lewis and talented pass catchers in Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow Jr., and Joe Jurevicius, Anderson amassed great stats and led Cleveland to the brink of a playoff appearance.
Every Browns fan knows what followed.
Anderson was summarily dismissed and left in a huff.

The Frank J Selke trophy was instituted to reward Bob Gainey for the unsung role he played on the 1970s Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup winning teams. The trophy is awarded annually to the forward who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive portion of the game. Gainey who won the award the first four years it was given out, was a speedy checker who was key in shutting down the ...
2010 NFL Draft: Tim Tebow Just Won’t Go Away From The Cleveland Browns
Posted: 19th March 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
With draft preparation in full swing, believe everything and nothing you hear from head coaches, general managers and team presidents.
That goes double if they work for the Cleveland Browns.
Mike Holmgren and Eric Mangini went south for a day to attend the pro day for Tim Tebow and Joe Haden. Haden is a favorite to be the Browns' First Round pick, and Tebow is gaining steam to go to the Browns ...
Eagles Should Keep Jason Babin, But Will Let Him Walk
Posted: 19th March 2010 by Bob Cunningham in NFL
Jason Babin has received a contract offer from the Tennessee Titans to the tune of one year worth $1 million, but isn't a Titan just yet. He is an unrestricted free agent (technically), but the Eagles were savvy enough to work a clause into his contract that, for all intents and purposes, makes him a restricted free agent with a right of first refusal. The Eagles now have seven ...
There is no time better than the present. Eagle fans are frustrated, confused, excited, and undecided.
The Philadelphia Eagles have $48 million dollars in salary cap space. That's the third largest in the National Football League, next to Tampa Bay at $61 million.
So the question is, where and how do we spend it? I've come up with some ideas that might enlighten us all.
The first place ideal investment would be in ...
Could Howie Kendrick Be a Fantasy Baseball Breakout Option in 2010?
Posted: 19th March 2010 by Eric Stashin in MLB
How long have we heard the hype surrounding Howie Kendrick?
How long have we been hearing about his upside? How long have we been taking the gamble on him in hopes that this would finally be the year?
He made his MLB debut back in 2006 after originally being drafted in 2002. Needless to say, now at 26 years old, we all hope that the wait is finally over.
A .360 career hitter ...
Let the guessing game begin!
I have been reluctant to write a mock draft because there have been about a billion of them written in recent weeks; the Internet is flooded with them.
They all have one thing in common; they are speculative and are no better than a shot in the dark...at best.
I don't operate that way; I'd rather deal in absolutes.
What can we do with the talent we have? ...
