Antonio McDyess, Spurs’ Newest Secretary Of Defense, Finds His Way
Posted: 24th April 2010 by Robert Kleeman in NBA
SAN ANTONIO: Antonio McDyess had every reason to hate the San Antonio Spurs.
Not in the half-superficial way Mark Cuban says he does.
His first encounter with Tim Duncan involved the Spurs' great torching him seven straight times in a playoff game.
He was one quarter away from the championship celebration he craved in a Game Seven, when Duncan and Manu Ginobili took over that 2005 winner-take-all match.
Through the years, though, he saw how the Spurs operated. He ...

Posted: 24th April 2010 by Jack Harver in NFL
So much for missing out on a middle linebacker in this year's draft.
After watching Alabama's Rolando McClain and Penn State's Sean Lee get drafted ahead of their picks in the first and third rounds, Jacksonville's war room wasn't done trying to find a fit between outside linebackers Daryl Smith and Justin Durant.
When the Oakland Raiders came calling Saturday, looking to move up for wide receiver Jacoby Ford and his 4.28-second ...

This was supposed to be their year. Supposed to be the year the face of the current NBA put himself and his team on top of the world.
People said as long as the Cavaliers got by the Magic and Howard, they would meet the Lakers in the finals, and were favorites to beat them on basketball's biggest stage.
There was one thing they didn't count on. One thing that was almost ...
Miami-Boston: The Cold Sting of Disappointment Dampens Heat Hopes
Posted: 24th April 2010 by Hotnuke in NBA
Jonathan Swift (the author of Gulliver’s Travels) once wrote:
“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.”
Miami Heat fans definitely aren’t blessed this year. There was a time when they were, and not because they had no expectations for their team; just the opposite. Just a few short years ago, Heat fans had all the hope one could have, after watching Dwyane Wade lead their favorite NBA ...

Posted: 24th April 2010 by Kamal Panesar in NHL
Habs win, Habs win!
OK, now that I got that out of the way, let me get to the nitty-gritty. Yes, the Montreal Canadiens beat the Washington Capitals 2-1 in Washington last night.
And yes, the game seemed to follow the same script as three out of the five games so far: the Habs came out with fire in their eyes and took an early lead. The Caps scored to bring the ...

Despite their early-season struggles, the Chicago Cubs have plenty of reasons not to be afraid just yet. From the revamped minor league system, to a smarter Jim Hendry, to the twenty-fifth man on the roster (and the fortieth in September), the Cubs organization and their ever-loyal fans have no reason to worry about the 2010 season.Begin Slideshow
2010 NFL Draft: Bengals Select Florida DE Carlos Dunlap with 54th Pick
Posted: 24th April 2010 by Dan Parzych in NFL
With the 54th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals selected Florida defensive end Carlos Dunlap.
The 6’7”, 260 lbs. standout can hopefully address the need for an effective pass-rusher on an already effective defense that was one of the best in 2009. The Bengals entered this year’s draft with a number of positions to focus on in the first two rounds. By using their first-round pick ...
