Posted: 19th June 2010 by Nick Signorelli in NFL
No, I am not picking on just the Denver Broncos! This is a series that I am doing for all 32 of the NFL teams, Why Your Team Won't Win The Super Bowl . (Click the link to see the other teams.)
It was just over a year ago, the Denver Broncos shocked the world, and their fans, with the firing of Mike Shanahan. The Broncos made the bold move to go with an unproven ...
Philadelphia Phillies Crush, Then Crumble in Loss to Minnesota Twins
Posted: 19th June 2010 by David Rosenblum in MLB
I’m sorry folks, I think I jinxed this one. With former Phillie Jim Thome at the plate in the ninth inning with the Phillies up by five runs, I said to my dad and brother, “I wouldn’t mind if he hit a home run right here. We would still be up by three and I don’t see us losing this game. "Plus, I kinda want Thome to have ...

Jammal Brown Traded To Washington Redskins, 24K Talent Or Fools’ Gold?
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Michael Schottey in NFL
Saturday afternoon, the Washington Redsksins completed a trade with the New Orleans Saints for former Pro Bowl left tackle, Jammal Brown.
The Redskins sent a conditional draft pick, contingent on the pick they need to send to Philadelphia in the Donovan McNabb trade.
If the Eagles gets a third rounder because McNabb plays well, the Saints get the Redskins' fourth rounder, and vice versa if McNabb plays poorly.
Initial reaction: The Redskins don't ...
Despite Loss to Twins, Philles Headed in Right Direction
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Bob Cunningham in MLB
The Phillies lost one of the most up-and-down games I've ever seen to the Minnesota Twins by a score of 13-10, but there were a lot of positives to take from the game. For starters, the Phils scored 10 runs -- something they haven't been doing a whole lot of recently as they fight to fully escape their offensive funk. It's still too soon to proclaim it over, but ...
Not Your Average Mitch: L.A. Lakers’ Mitch Kupchak Is the NBA’s Top GM
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Josh Hoffman in NBA
On May 30, 2007, pro basketball in Los Angeles frantically fell flat on its face, leaving Angelenos wondering, "Will we ever rebound?"
Following a third straight forgettable season -- the latest of which resulted in a repeat first-round exit at the mercy of the Phoenix Suns in the 2007 playoffs -- the Lakers were arguably the second-best NBA team in Southern California.
It was on the aforementioned date that Kobe Bryant began a barrage of banter -- not about ...

Albert Haynewsorth: An Open Letter To the Washington Redskins Defensive Tackle
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Matt De Lima in NFL
After missing every mini-camp and off-season practice, Albert Haynesworth informed the Washington Redskins and the media that he was demanding a trade or release.
Haynesworth made roughly $32 million from the Redskins in the first 13 months of his contract. Now that he has made clear his intentions, I offer him this letter.
Dear Albert Haynesworth,
Hey Al! I’m going to call you Al, I hope you don’t mind.
Look, you’re ...
Not Pulling Their Weight: 10 MLB Stars Having Poor 2010 Seasons
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Chris Miller in MLB
Baseball is a funny game, the line that separates the all time greats, and the unknowns is far more thin than in any other sport.
In a game where the best in world fail seven out of ten times, you need a little luck on your side. For some, that luck never comes. For others, it shows up, only to leave again like a cruel mistress in the night,
Here are ...

Posted: 19th June 2010 by TAB BAMFORD in NHL
As the 2010 NHL Draft approaches, the trading appears to be picking up. As Jaroslav Halak, Dan Hamhuis and Jason Arnott have already been dealt, the fun appears to be only beginning.
As teams look to fill needs or cut payroll, the continuing rumor mill will only grow bigger and faster. How many players will be dealt before the draft even begins?
