New York Rangers Free Agency Breakdown

Posted: 1st July 2010 by Matthew Calamia in NHL
Let's face it. Every Ranger fan in their right mind knew that today would not be like 2007 or 2009, when Glen Sather signed up every top free agent on the market. We did hope, however, that it would not be like 2008, when he re-signed Michael Roszival and inked Wade Redden to arguably the worst contract in the game today. For the most part, Sather stuck to the plan of focusing ...

New York Rangers Day One Free Agency Recap

Posted: 1st July 2010 by Greg Caggiano in NHL
The New York Rangers may or may not be done for the night, but in all likelihood, we will have to wait until tomorrow before we see any more moves. Today was an exciting day for free agency. It was not as hectic as in years past, but controlled. It seemed that early on, announcements of signings were coming at a nice even pace. That made ...
Free Agency has finally arrived. You have your eyes on the big guys, like LeBron. But don’t forget about the biggest guy of all, the Big Diesel. Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq is running on his last leg, but he could still provide a solid piece for a team in need of a big man to get over the hump. He is probably not going to resign with the Cavaliers, who have tunnel vision ...
Whew. What a wild couple of weeks we have had, huh? After losing a gut-wrenching Game Seven to the Fakers, it’s been an utter apocalypse of speculation and quite frankly, of pure abomination. It has been downright annoying to flip around to all of my favorite basketball news sites and blogs to read about all of these unnamed sources saying where LeBron, Bosh, and D-Wade ...

Cleveland Browns: Sometimes No News is Good Thing

Posted: 30th June 2010 by gary wertman in NFL
The time between mini camp and training camp has become pretty boring for us Browns fans. Not much to write about. Not much happening. It hasn’t always been that way. Since Eric Mangini has taken over as head coach of the Browns, there’s not much to write about if it doesn’t happen on the football field. The Browns have pretty much avoided the bad press plaguing a ...

Fantasy Football 2010 Sleepers

Posted: 30th June 2010 by Lane Rizzardini in NFL
Sleepers : the overused but highly-touted term used in fantasy sports to refer to a player who “no one” is talking about that will greatly outperform their draft position. The exact definition varies depending on the expert in question, and many people complain about sleepers not being deep enough for their “unbelievably competitive 28-team league.” To those people I say good luck drafting Chansi ...
Paul Pierce just entered himself into the middle of the free-agent race late last night. NBA experts primarily left Pierce out of all the free agency talks because they believed the Boston swingman would naturally stay with the Celtics. That might not be the case, however. By opting out of his contract and deciding to test the waters of free agency, Pierce leaves Boston in a tough position. Boston must now give him more ...
