If there was a team in all of sports that commanded such passion, such heartache, such glory, and stirs every kind of emotion it would be the Boston Red Sox. Looking from the outside, the Red Sox are just another sports team. They’ve won, they’ve lost, they’ve won, they’ve… What’s so special about the Red Sox? The Chicago Cubs have a longer dry spell than the Red Sox did to win the World Series. (Currently at 104 years). The Chicago [...]

Reported by ESPN and numerous other sources, the 2014 NBA off-season could be another big year for the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe Bryant will be retiring (as he said he would) in two years and that will free up a lot of cap space as Pau Gasol and other Laker salaries come off the book at the end of the 2013-2014 NBA season. The only player of any significance to still be under contract will be Steve Nash. Assuming that [...]

Let’s assume Vegas odd makers are never wrong and they always correctly pick the favorites to be in the NBA Finals. That will mean the 2013 NBA Finals will pit Kobe Bryant and his Los Angeles Lakers against LeBron James and his Miami Heat. If this happens, no NBA Finals will ever match such hype, excitement, and star power. You’d have to go back to the 1980s when Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers played Larry Bird and the [...]

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this, but hear me out. LeBron James will be better than Michael Jordan by the time he’s finished in the NBA. Let’s just get some facts straight. LeBron is bigger, faster, and stronger than Michael. He impacts the game more then any other player in the league. He handles the ball way more than Michael ever did and he can play every position. Michael can’t do that! Try to [...]

It all started in the summer of 2003 when the Los Angeles Lakers formed a team of such star power that it rocked the NBA forever. What I’m talking about is the birth of the modern NBA super team. If you can remember back that far, the Lakers had future hall-of-famers Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. They then added hall-of-famers Karl Malone and Gary Payton to round out arguably the greatest starting four in NBA history. Even though they lost [...]

The slumping San Jose Sharks may be about to receive a rather large boost to their defence corps, but not until the end of the season, of course. According to David Pollak, current Detroit Red Wings defenceman Brad Stuart could wind up in San Jose as early as the 2012-2013 season. From Pollak: Brad Stuart let it be known several weeks ago that it was very unlikely he’d be back in Detroit next season after his contract expires. That’s because [...]

Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram made a compelling case Monday for why the Dallas Cowboys should trade for Tim Tebow. At the heart of his argument is that acquiring Tebow would send a message to the rest of the team that no one is safe, not even Tony Romo, and that each player needs to work hard for their spot in the lineup and on the roster. Said the article: More than anything else, acquiring Tebow sends the [...]

According to a recent story by the Courier-Post, chronic knee pain could end Chase Utley’s career. Utley, who left the Philadelphia Phillies spring training camp on Monday to see a knee specialist, has been suffering from a combination of damaged cartilage and severe tendinitis in both knees. “I worry about Chase because it’s a chronic knee problem,” Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. told the Courier-Post. “About his career? I don’t know.” Last season knee issues kept Utley out of the [...]

According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, free agent point guard Gilbert Arenas will workout for the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, who are looking for a backup point guard. Said the report: “I think Gilbert would be a good fit from the perspective that he can play both guard positions,” [Grizzlies coach] Hollins said. “He’s been a very talented offensive player his entire career. He’s a guy that played the passing lanes and got steals..I just thought that if that was [...]

According to the LA Times, Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia announced on Sunday that Kendrys Morales will play in his first Cactus League game on Tuesday. Morales missed most of 2010 and all of 2011 after breaking his ankle during a celebration at home plate after hitting a walk off home run. Said the report: Scioscia is aiming for Morales, who took a rainy Sunday off after playing in minor league games Friday and Saturday, to get 40 to [...]
