By Fantasy Junkie So many questions, so few answers: Is Don Nelson tanking already? Is John Wall that good? When is Stephen Jackson going to get traded? Can we trade for Chris Bosh even if he doesn't sign an extension? Will he even be any good playing for this cursed franchise? If you could trade all the Warrio...

By Greg Fertel GF: What are you up to this offseason? Do the Yankees have you doing anything specific or are you just getting some rest? GF: Have the Yankees given you any indication about where you’ll be next season? Where would you like to start the season?

By Tim Bucktoo We've seen it all play out before.  LeBron James sinks a buzzer beater for the win. Led by Derrick Rose's 14 points and 11 assists, Chicago beat Cleveland at their own game, on their own court. Unfortunately for Cleveland, King James came up short. 

By Omar Kelly What's worse is that the Dolphins' slot receiver has had a fumbling problem over the past two weeks. He's fumbled three times, but fortunately one never counted because the Jets didn't review the play courtesy of a great rush job by the Dolphins.

By mj-kasprzak The San Jose Sharks are back on the road after a brief two-game homestand. Not that it matters—they just keep winning. After a slow start to the season (3-3-0-1), they are red hot, winning five in a row and seven of eight and moving up to the second best record in the Western Conference.

By Jon Neely His 17 points (2 G, 15 A) not only leads the Leafs in points, but puts him on top of the list of defenseman scoring. The next closest player to him is San Jose's Dan Boyle, who has 13 points, but has played 15 games; three more than Kaberle. Now more than ever, Kaberle deserves to be the captain.

Alex Rodriguez wound up with a home run after the first instant replay review in World Series history, and the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5 on Saturday night for a 2-1 edge. Rodriguez homered to start a big comeback and those powerful Yankees bats finally broke loose...

By Saulo Padua Week Seven is gone and the Giants are now 5-2. Not a bad record at all, however, the fact that Big Blue lost two in a row is a disappointing and gut wrenching one to all Giants fans. The Giants' next games are not going to be easy, as they face the arch rival Philadelphia Eagles (twice), the San Dieg...

By Ed Yevelev Cameron Jordan has been inconsistent, while back-up Ernest Owusu has not had a single quarterback drop since getting a couple in the Maryland opener. Coming into the season, the Bears had hoped that their depth at the position (a rotation that ran six-deep) would help remedy the loss of Za...

By Flattish Poe Like Joe Torre said, “I’d like to have (Utley’s) problem.” He’s one of the best players in baseball. I think the ghost of former Dodger, Steve Sax, was screwing with him. Sax was a great second baseman who regrettably ended his career unable to throw accurately to anywhere. Matter-of-fact whe...

By Nestor But remember what happened last year up in Eugene. With Masoli and Blount Ducks beat the Bruins by 7 points. They came out and blitzed us early on and went up by a score of 14-0 (man that's a tired, familiar theme for a Bruin defense), yet the Bruins even with Kevin Craft at charge had a shot in the f...

By Evan Brunell The pitching side of things is rosier. John Lackey, Joe Saunders and Scott Kazmir make for an enviable front three.  On the other side, Boston is dealing with nagging injuries to Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell and backups Nick Green and Rocco Baldelli. Beckett and John Lester are one of the best st...

I've had some hard losses. This is just another one for the list," 49ers cornerback Nate Clements said. "We just have to keep chopping away." Defensive end Jared Allen was asked what he thought when the offense set up for the final possession.

The Indians’ pitching staff is second in the league in allowing walks and are second last in the AL in striking out hitters.  That’s a bad combination.  In essence, it says the pitchers don’t miss bats very often, and they compound that problem by falling behind in the count.

Good signs from the Lions' special teams, bad calls from the officiating crew, dumb penalties -- including one by a rookie who should know better -- and a lot of NFL debuts.

By Shane Giroux(thebatlab@gmail.com) That wasn't because I wanted Stastny to be the captain.

By Chris FO: Not necessarily.  Offense is more consistent from year to year, and the blueprint for a high performing offense is to nail down the quarterback position and then flesh out the roster to complement that quarterback’s skill set.  The Bills, Jets and Dolphins have all invested in young qu...

By aloneconformist(noreply@blogger.com) The point is, the Lakers showed they will play dirty to win or NEED to play dirty to win. They ARE cheap shot artists. That's what they do.
