NBA Preview

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Fresh off of last year’s championship where the Los Angeles Lakers dispatched the Orlando Magic in 5 games, the Lakers will be hard pressed to repeat this year, as they are still one of the premiere teams in the West. (Although I like the Spurs this year in the West) Many of the premiere teams [...]

Manning, Brees, and the Broncos Roll in ‘09

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Three of the NFL’s 32 teams have been living large this year, as they are a combined 18-0 through their first 18 games. For the Indianapolis Colts, the plan has been really very simple; put the game in Peyton Manning’s hands. And so far this year, that is what the have done as Manning came [...]

Phils in Search of 2nd Straight Title

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

With their 10-4 defeat of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Philadelphia Phillies have earned their second straight World Series bid. Led by Jayson Werth, with his 3-4 night with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored, the Phillies accumulated 4 home runs (two of those coming from Werth) and the 5 through 7 hitters really caught [...]

Florida Sits At #1 in First BCS Poll

Monday, October 19th, 2009

In the first BCS standings, everything is kind of what we expected with a few surprising exceptions. These teams cannot get comfortable and complacent with their rankings, as each of these teams have very tough games ahead of them and they can’t lose these big games if they want to hold their spots in the [...]

Week For The Woeful

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Week 6 in the NFL proved to be an interesting one. The Saints dominated the Giants 48-27, the Patriots demolished the 0-6 Titans 59-0, and the Vikings barely escaped the Ravens behind the arm of Brett Favre. But it was also an interesting week for the league’s teams that are at the bottom of the [...]

Boise State Hurts Chances With Win

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

With last night’s 28-21 win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, the Boise State Broncos greatly hurt their chances off getting to the National Championship and even getting to a BCS Bowl with their narrow victory last night. The Broncos did not look like their normal selves, as they only scored 18 points in the first [...]

A Tale of Two Teams

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Florida and Florida State have been two totally different teams this year. The #1 ranked Florida Gators have cruised this season, with the exception of last night’s LSU game, while the Seminoles can’t seem to decide whether they want to win or lose this season. FSU started okay, losing by 4 points to a very [...]

Major Moves in the NFL

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

You might remember a guy by the name of Michael Crabtree? He was the 10th pick in the draft by the San Fransisco and up until this morning, he was the only draft pick unsigned. I thought that it was a very bad idea that Crabtree was holding out because it was just hurting his [...]

Manning Domination

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Peyton and Eli Manning are two of the elite quarterbacks in the league, and yesterday was a prime example of why they are so good. In the Giants game, it was much more of a blowout than the score showed (27-16) as they were ahead 27-3 at one point. Eli Manning finished at 20/34 for [...]

A Changing of the Guard in College Football?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Yesterday marked an usual occurrence in college football these days. For the fifth straight week, a team in the top 10 has lost. Yesterday, it was Miami shocking Oklahoma and basically knocking them from national title contention. Each week, one of the big dogs has gone down, and it almost happened twice as LSU barely [...]
