Orlando Magic News & Notes

Written by Andrew Melnick | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Howard the Dunk (Magic)

Former Magic Guard Courtney Lee still loves Orlando even though he was “devastated” when he first heard about the deal that sent him to New Jersey.
Lee felt floored when he learned that he, Rafer Alston and Tony Battie had been traded to the New Jersey Nets for eight-time all-star Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson.
“It was [...]

Andre Johnson is Tougher Than You.

Written by johnwessling | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Toro Times (Texans)

I don’t think he should be tested for performance enhancing drugs, I think he should be tested for machinery and adamantium parts!

After the Texans victory over the 49ers in week 7, Andre Johnson went to the hospital with what was first described as a chest contusion and was later updated to be a LUNG contusion.
Long [...]

Fear the Giants?

Written by Scott Tunstall | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles), NFL

Two weeks ago I would have said the Giants were the team to beat in the NFC. Even though they had beat-up on nothing but the weak sisters of the NFL, they did so in such impressive fashion, I couldn’t help but view them as ready and willing to put behind last season’s disappointing finish.
Eli [...]

Canucks Take on Ducks at Honda Center

Written by Omar Zaman | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Ducks Daily Blog (Ducks)

The Ducks will finally get back to work after having three full days off following one of the worst losses imaginable. I’m of course referring to the Ducks’ defeat at the hands of a team that hadn’t yet won a game, the Toronto Maple Leafs. But the team has pushed that aside and will look [...]

Having Sex Without A Lawsuit (For Big Ben)

Written by Chris | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL, Nice Pick, Cowher (Steelers)

With no game this Sunday, I’m forced to write about something else. What do guys think about when they’re not thinking about sports? Food, obviously. Since my recipe for Five Alarm Chili isn’t that interesting, I should probably pick something else. Then I remembered my posts on the Ben Roethlisberger lawsuit [...]

Lou-less in Los Angeles

Written by Larenzo | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Canuck Way (Canucks)

After a disappointing loss at home, the Canucks outlasted the L.A. Kings 2-1 with a shootout victory, backstopped by Andrew ‘Rayzor’ Raycroft.
After Roberto Luongo was diagnosed with a hairline rib fracture on Tuesday, the club called up Cory Schneider from the Manitoba Moose (he currently has the best record in the AHL) to backup Andrew [...]

BLACK OUT

Written by Kevin Ferguson | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | SideLion Report (Lions)

yet another.
with a whopping 10,000 seats at large for the 1 and 5 vs the 0 and 6 rams, the Detroit Lions game will not make it’s way onto TV locally.
We’ve had quite a few, and to let it boggle your mind further, that 10,000 does not count the Club level seats. Brutal.

Blazers 94, Nuggets 97 Re-Thoughts

Written by Coup | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Rip City Project (Blazers)

Games with the Denver Nuggets are not going to be pretty this season. They are going to be chippy, lots of fouls will be called, and the better defensive team will usually win. But the small things will decide key possessions, and though they will always be targets of an unfair amount of blame, it’s [...]

Written by Sooze | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | FanSided


Jayson Werth should really do something about that squirrel hanging out on his chin. Just a thought. The New York Yankees’ bats finally woke up for Game 2 of the World Series Thursday night with a 3-1 win over the reigning world champion Philadelphia Phillies.

Vikings vs Packers – What’s a Bears fan to do? Part II

Written by Boomer | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Bear Goggles (Bears), NFL

The NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings head to Green Bay to the face the second place Green Bay Packers on Sunday.  Some guy named Favre makes his return to Lambeau Field for the first time since he retired then unretired and then played in New York then re-retired and then un-un-retired again.  Keeping up with [...]

Bears vs Browns – Keys to the Game

Written by Boomer | October 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Bear Goggles (Bears), Dawg Pound Daily (Browns)

I am closing the book on last week’s Chicago Bears train wreck against the Bengals.   It’s over.  Done.  Not even going to bring it up.   Page turned.
The Browns are coming off a doosie of their own:  a 31-3 beatdown at the hands of the Packers.  But they’re used to it.   The Browns are nearly as [...]

A Quick Bye Week Thought

Written by Arrowhead Addict | A Kansas City Chiefs Sports Blog | October 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)

Being a devout Chiefs fan lately has been very painful for all of us. It has even harkened some to question their fandom and quit. However, just remember, this pain is only temporary, it will obviously last the rest of this season, and maybe into the next, but the pain will go away, [...]

Yanks even Fall Classic, 1-1

Written by Andrew Corselli | October 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Yanks Go Yard (Yankees)

The Yanks beat the Phils 3-1 Thursday to tie the World Series up at one game apiece behind a great showing from AJ and timely hitting from Tex and Godzilla. Here are some random thoughts I had while watching Game 2:

Molina’s pickoff of Werth in the fourth really changed the momentum of the series (or at [...]

The Ten Most Frightfully Bad Sports Franchises

Written by Scott Tunstall | October 29, 2009 | Comments (5) | Blog, Chronicles of Scott, Z Featured

There’s nothing worse than being a fan of a really awful sports franchise. Enduring year after year of piss-poor ownership decisions, laughable general manager moves, questionable drafting, nonsensical coaching and dreadful player performance can make even the sanest person bust a brain synapse and drift into a catatonic state of deep depression. Following your favorite [...]
