So Mike Fisher didn’t make the cut. He’s probably disappointed after all what was said about him being a real cadidate on making the team.People may look back at that and scoff at it. However, he was in the thick of things. I was told late last night by an exclusive source that Steve Yzerman and [...]

Our image of the week is a cartoon by Brian Barkey. At this time, the playoffs are all that matter, and with 10 different ways the Broncos can get into post season play, this says it all:
Staal, Ruutu, and Pitkanen Make Canada and Finland Teams
Written by Wesley | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Cardiac Cane (Hurricanes)
The Finish Team announced this morning that Tuomo Ruutu and Joni Pitkanen would be on the Olympic roster for Vancouver. The surprise for me is that Jussi Jokinen did not make the Finish squad. Instead team Finland went with a player like Jarko Ruutu, Tuomo Ruutu’s brother, who is known for his grit [...]
Three-Fifths Of Celtics Starting Five Could Miss Tonight’s Game
Written by bpaul | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Hardwood Houdini (Celtics)
In a time where us Celtics fans thought news couldn’t get any worse, it has. By now we all know that Paul Pierce would be unavailable for tonight’s game, but news broke out today that the C’s could possible hit the floor without both Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo. Rondo’s injury appears to be some [...]

The 2009 Pro Bowl rosters were announced yesterday. A grand total of two Pittsburgh Steelers were selected to the team. James Harrison was named a starter, his third selection in as many years.

Jason Bay Saves the Mets!
Written by Sooze | December 30, 2009 | Comments Off | FanSided
Apparently, the New York Mets believe that Jason Bay is worth $66 million and four years of their time. Again.
The free agent outfielder has agreed to terms for just that heading into 2010, bringing more hype to the big apple than hope. Bay, 31, will play left field and bat somewhere in the middle of the lineup.
Sure, he had Alex Rodriguez-like numbers last season, nailing 36 homers (30 in four of his last five seasons) and 119 RBI with 13 stolen bags, but he also hit just .267 and struck out 162 times.
Sadly, I’m not so sure Citi Field is going to be as kind 81 games out of the year as Fenway was to Bay. Let’s compare this situation to that of David Wright, who racked up 33 homers and 124 RBI in 2008 at Shea Stadium. The following season he hit double digits again! Ten home runs and 74 runs driven in at the Mets’ new abode. Ouch. Last year’s team leader in longballs? Daniel Murphy with 12.
The only way Bay hits 25 over the fence or passes the 100-RBI mark in 2010 is if he hides a horseshoe in his jock.
However, there are those who believe he will actually hit more homers at Citi Field. Though no one can accurately predict what he will hit based on the past, what with him moving to a different league with different opponents and all, Mets fans can only hope.

In another in my “5 Things” series I take a look at 5 positions I feel the Chiefs can roll with moving in to next season.

The Chiefs may not yet know Matt Cassel’s full potential but they can certainly stick with him for a couple of more seasons. Cassel has shown incredible toughness this [...]
