Posted: 26th June 2010 by Danny Flynn in NHL
It’s been a well known fact that the Boston Bruins were coveting Windsor star winger Taylor Hall in the months leading up to the NHL Entry Draft.

Get ready.
Yes, sports fans, get ready.

2010 NBA Draft: Does Gordon Hayward Have What It Takes To Make It?
Posted: 9th May 2010 by Danny Flynn in NBA
Let the debate begin.
On Friday, Butler star sophomore forward, Gordon Hayward, officially made the announcement that he has chosen to stay in this year's NBA Draft.
The decision comes one month after Hayward helped lead his Butler squad to an improbable NCAA Tournament run that left the Bulldogs just one bounce away from a National Championship.
It was a six-game stretch where we saw the young Indiana native turn in great performance after great performance, ...

Posted: 19th April 2010 by Danny Flynn in NFL
It's officially draft week!
That means the rumors and crazy talk are about ready to fly as we count down to Thursday.
It should be interesting to listen to whose stock is rising and whose is falling with seemingly no reasons at this point to back it up.

That's because C.J. Spiller has the speed and playmaking ability that many teams desire in a running back.
His stock has been steadily rising since the combine and in the recent weeks approaching the draft, many teams have a reported interest in ...
In the now infamous Jerry Jones drunken cell phone video, the wise old owner blesses us with two mind expanding revelations. 1. Tim Tebow will not be a great NFL quarterback. 2. Bill Parcells does not get along very well with owners. I’m saddened this was all the information we were able to gain from this clip. Two minor observations that were fairly obvious to any well versed ...
The University of North Texas may never have a chance of landing a player the caliber of Jevan Snead or Matt Stafford. The two were a pair of the best high school quarterbacks in the country. Yet for one fateful day, the two best quarterbacks in the state of Texas would square off on the Mean Green’s Fouts Field in Denton, Texas. The scene was the 2005 Class ...

Posted: 8th April 2010 by Danny Flynn in NFL
When it comes to college football recruiting there are some that love it and some that say it's overrated.
In this day and age, young football players are becoming sensations and creating media frenzies before they even step onto a college campus. So I figured we should take a look to see if the best college prospects are turning into the best pro prospects.
When you start looking over many of ...
