Does John Wall To the Washington Wizards Open the Door For LeBron James?
Posted: 19th May 2010 by Bryan Toporek in NBA
Now that the Wizards have landed the No. 1 overall pick despite only having a 10.3 percent chance to do so, they've won the right to draft John Wall if they so choose.
If you listen to Wizards forward Andray Blatche, the Wizards "have no choice but to" draft Wall with the No. 1 pick. That's despite the fact they have their incumbent point guard, Gilbert Arenas, returning from his year-long ...
Quite a Conundrum: The Buffalo Sabres and Their Free Agents
Posted: 19th May 2010 by Matthew Hogan in NHL
Sabres general manager Darcy Regier has already vowed that the offseason will begin a serious “rebuilding” period for the team.
Buffalo will not be rebuilding not from the ground up, but the team will be bringing in the necessary pieces to establish a Stanley Cup caliber team.
But before the Sabres can go after any free agents, they have to worry about which players they will re-sign. Luckily for Regier, there are ...
Plenty Of Blame To Go Around In Yankees Loss To BoSox
Posted: 19th May 2010 by Double G Sports in MLB
Last night's loss to the Boston Red Sox has to leave a bad taste in the Yankees mouths. With a 5-0 lead after seven innings and Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera lurking in the bullpen, the Yankees likely thought this game was over and they would sweep the short two game series.
Think again. For the second straight night, the Yankees bullpen blew a fairly comfortable lead against the Red Sox. It was ...
Besides Paul Maholm, Zach Duke is the longest serving Pirate. And he is still hard to typecast.
On a good night, he is capable of beating a Cy Young award winner like the New York Mets' Johan Santana, or the Phillies Roy Halladay. On a bad day, he can be truly awful.
An example of this was Duke's last outing against Cincinnati. He gave up five runs, two of them homers, ...
Flyers-Canadiens: Philly Blanks Habs in Game 2: Take 2-0 Series Lead
Posted: 19th May 2010 by Cory Ducey in NHL
Game two is in the books and while the Habs promised to pound back on the Flyers, the result was the same as game one.
The Flyers take the first two at home with a 3-0 lead, scoring two power play goals by Danny Briere in the first period, Simon Gagne in the second period, and Ville Leino puts the dagger into the game near the halfway mark of the final ...
Flyers Romp Again and Get More Voter Support Than Any Candidate
Posted: 19th May 2010 by Judy Davidson in NHL
Yesterday was PA's Primary Day. I chose to spend my rainy day at the polls dressed for a game rather than any particular party. It was fun and amazing to see people (who normally would not look at me and disregard me due to Party affiliation) stop in the pouring rain to discuss the Flyers. I was soaked, psyched, and full of trivia and gave voters some tidbits to ...
The Mets lost two of their starting pitchers in Florida, Jon Niese due to a hamstring injury, and Oliver Perez due to being dreadful.
Hisanori Takahashi will start in Jon Niese’s place on Friday night, while R.A. Dickey will start in Perez’s place tonight against the Washington Nationals.
Takahashi has seemed to relish in the long man role, a la Darren Oliver in 2006 for the Mets, and ...
Monday night, the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant, led the Los Angeles Lakers in the Game One demolition of the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals by scoring 40 points and controlling the entire game.
Phoenix had no answer.
While everyone focused the week leading up to the game on the condition of Kobe’s knee, it is another injury that has plagued him all season and is almost mind-boggling that ...
Drew Rosenhaus vs. Tom Heckert: The Duel in Cleveland
Posted: 19th May 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
Super agent Drew Rosenhaus is known for driving hard bargains and being a royal pain in the neck to general managers and front offices everywhere.
So it should come as no surprise that Rosenhaus-represented clients like Cleveland Browns safety Abram Elam and others are holding out of offseason activities and refusing to sign their tenders.
Elam demanded a trade on Monday, to which Browns general manager Tom Heckert flatly shot down.
"That's not ...
John Wall and Lottery-Winning Washington Wizards a Bad Fit
Posted: 19th May 2010 by FootBasket in NBA
The Washington Wizards won the NBA Lottery. So, that probably means John Wall is going to be a Washington Wizard. Well, I think this is one of the worst situations for John Wall.
Will the Wizards make John Wall sit behind Gilbert Arenas? Remember, Gilbert Arenas is due to come back next year and play for the Washington Wizards. Here are the reasons why this ...
