2009 is coming to a close and with it another season of Miami Dolphins football. While last year ended with a Miami Dolphins playoff birth, this year ended with a fight to the finish that will likely end with Miami out of the playoff’s.
With the end of the year, it’s time to look back at [...]

Magic Turn it On in the Second Half, Blowout the Bucks
Written by Andrew Melnick | December 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Howard the Dunk (Magic)
Orlando got off to another slow start but finally woke up in the second half and blew out the Milwaukee Bucks, 117-92.
The Magic looked very lethargic early. They came out with a lack of energy and the Bucks took advantage of it, taking a 10-point first quarter lead. Orlando made late quarter run and [...]
Ron Turner Is Still Bad – Bear Dawn (12/31)
Written by Gavin Tugana | December 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Bear Goggles (Bears)
Ruh-roh.
Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune took an in-depth look at Cutler’s stats in and out of the pocket this year. As we know, Cutler feels more comfortable and has made some huge plays outside of the pocket. The main point of the article? Originally, Ron Turner met with Cutler and was focused on moving [...]
Cavs Top Atlanta at the Q
Written by Cody Norman | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | King James Gospel (NBA)
The Cavaliers never led through the first three quarters and trailed by as much as 17 early in the second half. After trimming their defecit to 2 with 4:35 left in the third, Atlanta pushed their lead back up to 11 before the end of the period.
Then Cleveland turned up the heat and outscored the [...]
Todd Haley, Offensive Mastermind?
Written by Arrowhead Addict | A Kansas City Chiefs blog | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)
Wow it’s nice to have Adam tossing out a post. Nothing seems to get me working on a quick article faster. Today, it was Adam’s throwaway comment labeling Haley “somewhat of an offensive mastermind”. Now, I grant you, Haley did come to KC with a reputation for running high powered offenses. Critics pointed to Haley’s [...]
Celtics Burned in Phoenix
Written by bpaul | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Hardwood Houdini (Celtics)
It was nothing less than expected tonight as an undermanned Celtics team got completely dominated by the Phoenix Suns by the score of 116-98 . The Celtics have now lost three in a row and stand at 23-8 on the season. Entering the game the Celtics were without four of their key players (Pierce, Garnett, Daniels, [...]
Does Braves Frank Wren Get Too Much Credit?
Written by thelandryhat | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Tomahawk Talk (Braves)
The Atlanta Braves haven’t had a consistent lineup since the early part of this ending decade. Frank Wren is largely responsible for the big trades he has made, but only to ship the players away when the team decides it doesn’t want to spend the cash to compete.
I know nothing about what it takes to [...]
Frazier Moving to SS
Written by Tim Grimes | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Blog Red Machine (Reds)
The Reds top farmhand Todd Frazier may be moving back to Shortstop. Cincinnati drafted Frazier as a shortstop but they moved him to the outfield.
Starting the season with Paul Janish at shortstop doesn’t sound like a great proposition to me.
Frazier played mainly in the outfield last season for Double A and Triple A. [...]
Defining the Decade In Film: The Best of the 2000s
Written by Scott Tunstall | December 30, 2009 | Comments (29) | Blog, Chronicles of Scott, Z Featured
Another decade is in the books. Naturally, everyone is rolling out their “best of” lists because that’s the thing to do before the calendar flips to 2010. It’s not very original, but for those of us who enjoy basking in nostalgia, it’s a great way to relive some of the finer moments from the previous [...]
Edinson Volquez to Start Throwing Program
Written by Tim Grimes | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Blog Red Machine (Reds)
Edinson Volquez (elbow surgery) is about to begin throwing, according to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“The reports are good,” said Assistant General Manager Bob Miller. “He’s worked hard and got in great shape. That helps.”
Edinson Volquez underwent Tommy John surgery in August. He hasn’t had any setbacks in his rehabilitation. [...]

Written by Wally Fish | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Kings of Kauffman (Royals), MLB
It has been almost two weeks since Sluggerrr Snacks made it’s debut. Two weeks is a long time. Our favorite lion and mascot has been getting awfully hungry. Today, as I take a break from the Royals Rotten Decade series, Sluggerrr consumes some tasty morsels on Billy Butler, Miguel Olivo, and Kyle Davies.

Even More Reason To Hate Team Canada
Written by Dustin Staggers | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Bolts at the Bay (Lightning)
No Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St Louis or Steven Stamkos? Are you serious?
Team Canada unveiled its roster today much to the chagrin of the 200 or so Lightning fans on earth and all three of our guys were left off the roster. It wasn’t even two weeks ago that I told my brother, if Team [...]
Brodeur Wall Stands Tall
Written by IronCity | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Pens Labyrinth (Penguins)
Thankfully this is the regular season and not the playoffs. If it was the post-season, the Devils would have swept the offensively-shackled Penguins and allowed just two goals in the four mind-numbing contests. The Brodeur Wall has yielded just two goals to his talented rivals and zero in more than eight periods. He consistently redefines [...]
Stats Check on Pats/Texans
Written by jamie | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Musket Fire (New England Patriots)
Here’s where the Patriots and Texans stand overall after 15 NFL games on the stats sheet. I think that while stats don’t amount to much when trying to predict a game, it does illuminate some strengths and weaknesses and at this point in the season, tend to hold true during the game, as “you are [...]
Tampa Bay Rays 00’s All Decade Team
Written by Dustin Staggers | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | MLB, Rays Colored Glasses (Rays)
With a 694 and 923 record during the 00’s or the aughts or the 2000’s or whatever the hell you want to call this decade, one would think it would be pretty hard to put together an all decade team. For a team that had some faces that stuck around through most of the [...]
