Kelly Shoppach’s option for 2012 was not picked up by the Rays on Monday but that does not mean he won’t be in a Rays uniform next year. The Rays were not likely to pay Shoppach the 3.2 million he would have been due if they would have agreed to &#…

Donovan McNabb Continues To Run His Mouth

For those keeping score at home Donovan McNabb has almost as many absurd statements to the media this season as touchdown passes. First it was in response to questions about his work ethic, then it was saying he “absolutely” … [visit site to…
My Ideal B1G Championship Game
Written by Adam Borland | October 31, 2011 | Comments Off | Scarlet and Game (Ohio State)
With all due respect to the other teams in the conference, the Big Ten is owned by Ohio State and M*chigan, and occasionally borrowed by a different school for a year or two. I realize that this shows the other teams little or no respect, but I feel confident that using the phrase “with all due respect” clears me of any wrongdoing there. I also am aware that M*chigan’s poor performance over the past few seasons and Ohio State’s inability to pay for tattoos may take away from that feeling a little, but I digress. The fact is that these [...]

Mike Quade’s Will Likey Be Fired–or Endorsed–This Week
Written by Jordan Campbell | October 31, 2011 | Comments Off | Cubbies Crib (Cubs)
The fate of manager Mike Quade has been on the mind’s of every Cubs’ fan since the beginning of the season. At this point it is no secret how most Cubs’ fans feel towards Quade. Quade may be a great all-around person, but in terms of managing a major league baseball team, Quade leaves a lot to be desired. It has long been believed that Quade’s fate was tied to together with former General Manager Jim Hendry’s fate. Seeing as Hendry is no longer with the organization, most expect that Hendry’s guy, Quade, will also not return to the team [...]

A’s 2011 In Review: Brandon Allen
Written by Joseph Lopez | October 31, 2011 | Comments Off | Swingin' A's (Athletics)
When the A’s traded away reliever Brad Ziegler this year, I’ll admit, I was a bit sad to see Ziegler go. The trade, however, did make sense for the A’s, who got 1B Brandon Allen and reliever Jordan Norberto from Arizona in exchange for Zielger. The A’s needed a first-baseman, and the team never passes up on additional support on the mound, so this deal, in retrospect, made sense. With 1B Daric Barton hitting rock bottom this season, the A’s needed a solution to their first base problem. For a moment there, Allen actually looked like he might’ve been that solution [...]

2011 New England Patriots: Trick or Treat?
Written by jamie | October 31, 2011 | Comments Off | Musket Fire (New England Patriots)
We have just about completed eight weeks of the regular season, passed the Patriots’ bye week, and I think we can honestly say that we’re not sure exactly what we have in this team. Are they a Super Bowl team? A playoff team? The Pittsburgh Steelers exposed weaknesses on both sides of the ball, especially on the defense. The aggressive man-to-man, blitzing defense slowed down the Tom Brady and the offense. The pass defense, well, I think we know about them, but any improvements we thought we saw against the Jets and the Cowboys vanished. While questions surround this team, [...]

A Flames October Wrap Up, Canucks, And Movember
Written by Cait Platt | October 31, 2011 | Comments Off | Flame for Thought (Flames)
So here we are, the last day of October, what an awful October it has been. With a record of 4-4-1, the Flames currently sit in 14th for the Western Conference with just the Columbus Blue Jackets beneath them. With tomorrow’s game against the Vancouver Canucks, the first match up this regular season, and rumors that Roberto Luongo starting, I’m very bummed the power will not be back in time to watch this game. While there’s a dozen jokes that could be made about Luongo’s meltdowns, you have to remember, the Canucks are an impressive bunch even without Luongo at [...]

Well, the Ducks are shaking some things up. A little bit. At practice today, they changed up the lines…….again. An offense with a 1.91 goals per game, which is 29th out of 30 teams, needs to be shaken up. Okay so, let’s take a look at…
