3 Reasons Trent Richardson Should Win The Heisman: And Why He Won’t

Written by davidwasson | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Uncategorized

For the second time in three seasons, an Alabama running back will sit in the front row just to the right of center stage Saturday night when a certain 25-pound hunk of cast bronze is awarded to “the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.” Following in Mark Ingram’s considerable footsteps, Trent Richardson could well walk away with that stiff-armed first line of his eventual obituary come Saturday. There are plenty of reasons why Richardson should claim the Crimson Tide’s second Heisman Trophy over Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, [...]

Todd Haley: Should He Stay Or Should He Go?

Written by Patrick Allen | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)

One of the big decisions that Kansas City Chiefs GM Scott Pioli will have to make this offseason is whether or not to retain head coach Todd Haley. 2012 is the last year of Haley’s contract and rather than go into the season with a lame duck coach, Pioli may want to decide now whether to extend Haley or cut him loose. Switching coaches after only three years seems to go against Pioli’s slow and steady, substance over sizzle style. Then again, it may be that Haley has shown way to much sizzle for Pioli. There have been multiple rumors, [...]

If I Inherited The Kansas City Chiefs

Written by Randy5k-Arrowhead Adventurer | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)

This is a mulit-part series (unless I get bored with myself which is likely) Anyway, sometimes when there is nothing on my satellite dish and I don’t have anything else to do, I lay back in my Lazy-Boy , take a sip of Jack Daniels, and pretend I have just been notified by official means that I have inherited the Kansas City Chiefs organization, and all the rights that come along with it. It’s a stunning revelation. The possibilities it opens up, the opportunities that it presents are mind boggling. Nobody gives a crap how it will change this Arrowhead [...]

Debunking the ‘Bad for Baseball’ Myth

Written by Melissa Felkins | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Uncategorized

I walked into a sports bar yesterday and was greeted by sportscasters on every channel debating whether Albert Pujols ‘ move to the Angels was bad for baseball, or good for baseball. It kind of baffled me for a bit even though I’m used to the rhetoric used by these broadcasters and journalists anytime anything “big” happens in baseball. Let me solve this problem for you: Pujols leaving St. Louis for Los Angles is not bad for baseball. It’s bad for St. Louis, but it’s good for the Angels. It’s good for the Cubs and Reds, but it’s bad for [...]

Bryzgalov Looks Great In Flyers Win

Written by Eugene Markman | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Uncategorized

Sorry, I would normally post a picture here but we’re having technical issues. Just pretend I have a picture of Byzgalov high-fiving with Timonen, similar to this one: http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/photos?gameId=400046922&photoId=1727311. There were a lot of positives in last nights 3-2 Flyers win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The thing that stood out to me the most was the solid play of Ilya Bryzgalov. Reporters can rave about his third period performance when he stopped 13 of 14 shots. But I think they’re missing out on the big picture. … [visit site to read more]

Browns @ Steelers Wrap Up

Written by Kimmy | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Nice Pick, Cowher (Steelers)

Troy finally gets his first interception of the season. Image courtesy steelers.com Well that didn’t go as exactly as planned did it?  It definitely wasn’t a pretty win, but the Steelers went to bed last night with ice on their extremities and, for at least a few days, the lead in the AFC North.  What should have been a rout turned into a nail bitter thanks to penalties, turnovers, and one hell of a gutsy performance by No. 7.  I’ve decided that I could care less whether Ben is on anyone’s list of “elite” quarterbacks anymore, he is by far [...]

Every Patriots fan wants to get an inside look at the Patriots and how they operate on a day-to-day basis.

Dodgers Trade Eveland as Winter Meetings End

Written by Scott Andes | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Uncategorized

Well the Winter Meetings concluded yesterday, and none of my predictions came true. I swear you just can’t predict anything anymore. After hearing the nauseating news that the Angels had signed Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, we needed a minute to settle our stomachs. I almost just vomited in my mouth….wait there it is. Anyways whatever trade Colletti was trying to finagle fell through.  However the Dodgers did make one move. The Dodgers flipped former College of the Canyons graduate lefty Dana Eveland to Baltimore for two minor leaguers.   Goodbye Eveland. Good Luck in Baltimore … [visit site to read [...]

O’s need to run the risk

Written by Domenic A. Vadala | December 09, 2011 | Comments Off | Uncategorized

This column may well come across as a continuation or an expansion of yesterday. Having said that, in that column I mentioned how I felt that the moves that were made in Birdland weren’t being received very well amongst the fanbase. Some of the comments I saw on twitter and on message boards over the course of the day seemed to indicate a degree of angst within many fans. I suppose I would say that if drafting Ray Flaherty and trading for Dana Eveland end up being the only moves that are made in the off season, I would probably join [...]
