Brian Cashman Didn’t Want Rafael Soriano

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

For those of us who thought the New York Yankees deal with Rafael Soriano was ridiculous and wondered how a smart (albeit, overspending) baseball guy like Brian Cashman could do something so outrageous, we may now have our answer. Apparently Cashman didn't want to pay Soriano anything close to the three-year, ...

Rafael Soriano And The Yankees Prove We Now Live In The Matrix

Friday, January 14th, 2011

We've finally reached it. We've come to the place where the reality and fantasy mix and you don't know where the dream world ends and the real world begins. That's right folks, we officially live in The Matrix. In case you haven't heard, the New York Yankees just handed out what ...

Cam Newton To The Washington Redskins?

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

The Washington Redskins pick 10th in the 2011 NFL draft, and with a ton of holes on the roster they could literally go anywhere with that selection. Obviously the team's marriage to Donovan McNabb has fallen apart and if you believe they're going to hitch their wagon to Rex Grossman ...

Kevin Kolb Wants Out Of Philadelphia, Will He Get His Wish?

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

We all know that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb wants to be a starting quarterback somewhere in the NFL. We also know that he probably won't get that chance with the Philadelphia Eagles. Even we have speculated on where Kolb might end up, but there is a chance he won't ...

The Denver Nuggets Want Blake Griffin, Are Delusional

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

A report has surfaced today that is almost too funny to write about. Seriously, I'm still laughing. In their ongoing effort to trade Carmelo Anthony the Denver Nuggets have apparently tried to maneuver a way to land themselves ...(wait for it)... Blake Griffin. ESPN's Marc Stein and Chris Broussard have both ...

Bill Polian Thinks He’s Bad At His Job

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

And you thought Vernon Gholston was the biggest DE/LB hybrid first round flop in Saturday's Jets-Colts playoff game. Sure Gholston, the No. 6 pick in 2008, was inactive. But that's an epic upgrade from the contributions of Colts DE Jerry Hughes. According to Colts president Bill Polian, Hughes, the 31st pick in ...

Reggie Bush Done With New Orleans Saints?

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

Despite earning a Super Bowl ring with the team and his adamant pleas that he wants to stay in New Orleans, Reggie Bush may have played his final game in a Saints uniform in last weekend's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Bush is scheduled to make $11.8 million in 2011, which ...

Pat Shurmur The Favorite For Cleveland Browns Job?

Monday, January 10th, 2011

Like most of you, my first question was "who the hell is Pat Shurmur?" Well, he's currently the offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams, and he's also apparently emerging as the favorite for the head coaching job in Cleveland. The Browns are (reportedly) currently favoring Shurmur over Falcons offensive coordinator ...

BCS National Championship Preview

Monday, January 10th, 2011

(2) Oregon (12-0) vs. (1) Auburn (13-0) (-3) Two Heisman finalists, two teams from the two best conferences in college football, and yet...and yet this feels hollow somehow. Something's missing. Sure, TCU went 13-0 and were impressive in beating Wisconsin, but without Boise State here it's just not the same. The most ...

Bowl Preview: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

(15) Nevada (12-1) vs. Boston College (7-5) (+7.5) It's a little bit perfect that Nevada is playing the day before the last BCS game. After all, they DID screw, er, beat Boise State and ruin their shot at the BCS. And I spent the last three years absolutely loving Nevada. But ...
