bleacherreport.com We all know it, last year was an awful season, even my most KU standards. Turner Gill didn’t look to have an easy road ahead of him when taking over after Mark Mangino but most didn’t think he would have the problems he did. After losing their opener to FCS opponent North Dakota St it seemed the sky was falling around Lawrence. All the hopes of a tormented football fan base had been placed in the hands of newfound savior Turner Gill and the offense sputtered to a ridiculously awful start and the season started off about as embarrassingly [...]

Adam Kennedy: Not an Everyday Starter
Written by Brett Miller | June 30, 2011 | Comments Off | SoDo Mojo (Mariners)
Adam Kennedy has been a pleasant surprise for the Mariners this year, his 1.3 WAR second among Mariners position players. (No, not to Dustin Ackley, who is already at 0.8 WAR, which is awesome–and insane–for those who are wondering.) Kenned…

Countdown to Catastrophe: NBA Lockout Looms
Written by Chris Shellcroft | June 30, 2011 | Comments Off | Lake Show Life (Lakers)
Let’s not kid ourselves. We could be looking at the end of professional basketball as we know it. With mere hours remaining until the current CBA expires the 2011-12 NBA season hangs in the balance. Much like the NFL the owners are seeking to get a bigger piece of the pie at the expense of the players. Unlike the NFL there are serious solvency issues that must be addressed. The NBA has become a cash cow for players skilled enough to make a living out of playing hoops. That’s not to say that every NBA player is making bank. Most [...]
Breaking News: Reggie Bush won’t return Heisman Trophy
Written by Shaan | June 30, 2011 | Comments Off | Golden Bear Lair (Cal)
"It's Mine!!!" (via tmz.com) Some interesting news came out recently from the greatest player ever to play for that expensive college in Southern California. Reggie Bush actually isn’t the greatest to come from there, but he certainly left the biggest mark on that wealthy school. (That’s the end of the jokes, I promise). Apparently, according to many reports, Reggie Bush has decided to keep the Heisman trophy that really shouldn’t belong to him anymore. Here is a chronological summary from sportsbybrooks.com which was the first to confirm this and have evidence to back it up: On June 7 Dan Patrick Show Executive Producer Paul Pabst reported that nine [...]

The free agent signing period begins Friday, July 1. The Florida Panthers have approximately $24 million to spend just to reach the salary cap floor, which means the team will need to be active to reach that mark. So over the next few days, we’ll be …
Keeping Zach Bogosian?
Written by Fetch | June 30, 2011 | Comments Off | Thraser Backer (Thrashers)
via nhl.com When thinking of Zach Bogosian, try not to make the first image in your head that of him being picked 3rd overall in 2008, just after Steve Stamkos and Drew Doughty. Fortunately the first round in 2008 is littered with guys with seemingly unlimited potential but not a lot of payout so far, so Jets fans can’t be the only ones gnashing their teeth about what might have been. With Bogo heading into his RFA year, it is offer sheet time. A quick review of the offer sheet procedure, thanks to NHL.com: Based on the dollars offered to [...]

I’m Going To Miss Steve Sullivan
Written by rickamburgey | June 30, 2011 | Comments Off | Predlines (Predators)
And so this is how it ends. The Nashville Predators move on and Sullivan moves to the world of unrestricted free agency.
From a business standpoint, I’d say it was a pretty good move. There’s no question that Sullivan’s contribution h…
At the (Second) Quarter Pole: Infielders
Written by John Parent | June 30, 2011 | Comments Off | Motor City Bengals (Tigers)
The Tigers have reached the halfway point in the season, so it’s time to take another look at how they did in the past quarter of the campaign. Earlier today, Chris broke down the bullpen, Jordan tackled the starting staff and James graded the outfielders. Zac will be along later today with the rookies, so you won’t find their names listed here. Remember, these grades are for the second quarter only, but I’ll include the grades that Matt had assigned for the first quarter as well, just for reference. Catchers Alex Avila A+ (1st quarter grade: A-) … [visit site [...]
