By Jeff Hughes Arkush makes one point that I would consider most valid.  Of all the teams that are are going to be possibly looking for head coaches (Panthers, Redskins, Bills, Browns, Raiders) the Chicago Bears will be the most exciting destination because they provide a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback....

By kambrothers Tuesday night at Staples, the Lakers beat the Knicks 100-90 in a game that generally speaking, wasn't that close. Kobe Bryant, as has become his custom, torched the visitors for 34 points on 14-20 from the floor. The box score will show a steady 17/7/4 from Ron Artest, 17/8 from Andrew Bynum,...

By Chad Jennings “It’s always good when more guys contribute,” Johnny Damon said. “But Alex really got us going with that home run.” UPDATE: Here’s the Pettitte audio. It’s all good stuff, with a nice payoff at the end when he talks about Derek Jeter nearly catching him on the bases. This one comes highly recomm...

By multatuli34 The 1st time the defense got on the field they went: encroachment, offsides, offsides and 29-yard TD by Vernon Davis on 3 consecutive plays. With the defense not participating in the 3rd period, the Texanns had to look to the offense. But with 3:30 left before the 4th, Steve “Here, You Ta...

By Greg Wyshynski This isn't to say that Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis is entirely wrong when he claims that the leaking of trade bait by Toronto Maple Leafs President Brian Burke affects players' personal lives. But does that indicate a calculated bit of tampering on the part of the Leafs GM?

By Mateo Last week, when Wayne Gretzky stepped down as coach of the Phoenix Coyotes, I mused that the Kings should bring Wayne back to Los Angeles, in a public relations capacity.

By Ian Rapoport After a Patriots win, one of a ton of things that changes is the possession of the championship belt. Defensive line coach Pepper Johnson runs the scout team, and he awards a title belt to the practice player of the week. OK, let’s get to the coverage in today’s Boston Herald:

Jerry Jones has visions of Super Bowl grandeur, but Emmitt Smith certainly isn't expecting the Cowboys to return to glory this season. Emmitt's suggested solution: Rely heavily on the running game. And hope that the defensive coordinator/head coach does his job.

Even with Michael Young hurt, the Rangers have been staying in the playoff hunt. On Saturday afternoon, I was back for yet another appearance on the Alex Reimer Show on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, and this week the focus of the discussion centred on the playoff aspirations of the Boston Red Sox.

By Drew Magary That's right, it's the second half of our fantasy football preview. Last time around, we handled the AFC. This time, we go through the NFC, team by team, skill player by skill player.

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) On Chuck Daly: Big Al: "Chuck Daly, in a way, ruined the NBA…he caused rules changes." Eno: "Daly had all the credentials to be a Pistons coach in 1983, which were none!" Eno: "He was the first NBA coach who really put it out there that this is a player’s league." Big Al: "He wasn’t a great Xs and Os guy, like Larry Brown, but he could manage people." Eno: "I remember when Chuck replaced Bill Laimbeer in the 1990 Finals with William Bedford for a few minutes in Game Three. I thought, ‘Wow, what a message.’" Big Al: "His death hit me hard." On the Red Wings-Ducks: Eno: "Brian Rafalski hasn’t played a minute in this series, and Kris Draper hasn’t played a minute in the playoffs, yet here they are, on the verge of going back to the conference finals."   [read the full post]

By J.E. Skeets 11. Atlanta Hawks — I reckon the Hawks are in for a wee bit of that regression to the mean. As the defense stays mediocre and the offense comes back to earth. Injuries hurt, but it’s also the front office’s fault for conspiring to create such dodgy depth in the first place. [KD]

If you haven't seen this yet, you have to watch the highlights of Miami's 130-129 OT win over the Warriors.
