We’ve cracked wise about this previously, but we don’t think it’s funny anymore. Former Detroit Lions WR Titus Young needs some serious help. His life is going off of the rails and he’ll be going the way for Chris Henry shortly if someone doesn’t step in. On Friday, three new undisclosed charges were added relating [...]
We’ve been following the whole Brad Richards saga quite a bit lately. From head coach John Tortorella’s decision to demote the New York Rangers’ leader to the fourth line, to his decision to make him a healthy scratch for Thursday’s night’s Game 4 win against the Boston Bruins. Facing elimination and a clean sweep, Tortorella [...]
Oh how the mighty have fallen. We mentioned recently that New York Rangers forward Brad Richards had been put in the doghouse on the fourth line recently due to his poor performance. A performance that isn’t expected from someone still owed $36 million on his contract. Well, it can get worse than the fourth line [...]
The New York Giants have a wide receiver that would like to be paid a lot more money. We all know that. So, when the Giants held their first OTA’s, it was expected that Victor Cruz wasn’t going to be there. No one expected his counterpart Hakeem Nicks to skip the “voluntary” sessions. But, as [...]
This isn’t good. The San Francisco 49ers were dealt a crushing crushing blow to their chances to repeat as NFL runners up on Tuesday. Sources tell USA Today that wide receiver Michael Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon in a workout on Tuesday. He’s expected to need surgery, and while the 49ers are privately hopeful that [...]
It’s pretty amazing that Jaromir Jagr can still do what he does. No, he’s not the same player he was in latter part of the 90′s, but neither are we. He’s 41-years old, took several years off from the NHL, and came back as if nothing happened. That doesn’t mean that he isn’t prone to [...]
When the Philadelphia Eagles hired former Oregon coach Chip Kelly, you knew big changes were coming. Sure, the offense was going to transform into some other worldly monster that no one had ever seen before. While that remains to be seen, it’s pretty obvious that the Eagles eventually want to move to the 3-4 on [...]
The Toronto Blue Jays are probably the biggest disappointment in all of baseball. They made huge moves this offseason, including acquiring the likes of Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson and R.A. Dickey, who was last year’s Cy Young-award winner last year for god’s sake. And, they are terrible. They are in last place in the AL [...]
Last offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers were involved in a blockbuster trade that saw them acquire big man Dwight Howard while shipping off Andrew Bynum (among other moves). The Philadelphia 76ers certainly get a bargain in that deal as Bynum never played a minute all year and is now a free agent. The Lakers big [...]
Not too long ago, New York Rangers forward Brad Richards was a star in the NHL. But, something has happened to the 33-year old. He has fallen off incredibly fast and no one is quite sure why. Heck, the New York Post has even likened his decline to the New York Yankees hitting Alex Rodriguez [...]
Fans on New York sports radio have been clamoring for this for a while, and they could soon get their wish. Once a top prospect in the organization, Ike Davis is now just a guy playing crappy baseball, like the rest of his teammates not named Matt Harvey. ESPNNewYork.com has been hearing that internal talks [...]
Former Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney has been on the market for a while now. He’s made visits here and there, but apparently his age and asking price scared teams off. Not the San Diego Chargers however. After losing Melvin Ingram to a torn ACL, they were in dire need of a pass rusher [...]
As it is, New York Jets reserve running back Mike Goodson wasn’t exactly in line to be the lead dog in the team’s backfield this year. He’s a backup running back who isn’t in a position to do stupid stuff and have his roster spot be guaranteed. But, indeed, he did stupid stuff. As in, [...]
Philadelphia Phillies starter Roy Halladay is breaking down. It’s not his fault, the guy is 36-years old and has been an absolute horse throughout his career. There is only so much wear and tear that one guy can take. Halladay had a few putrid starts this season before he admitted that his shoulder was bothering [...]
This is pretty great. We don’t ever listen to The Adam Corolla Show podcast, but we’ll check it out when someone shows us a great clip like this. You may or may not have heard of standup comedian Dana Gould. He’s been around a long time, but we’ve never heard his Chris Matthews impression. It’s [...]
You don’t get the second-overall pick in the NFL draft without being horrific. And the Jacksonville Jaguars are, indeed, horrific. And it all starts with quarterback play. They haven’t had a decent quarterback since David Garrard left a while ago. They drafted Blaine Gabbert in the first round in 2011 and so far he’s given [...]
The Philadelphia Phillies have many holes on their team, but apparently not enough a-holes. And in an attempt to increase their a-hole depth, the club has signed former Miami Marlin and Chicago Cub Carlos Zambrano to a minor-league contract. Zambrano recently agreed to a deal with the Independent League Long Island Ducks. He didn’t report [...]
The new-look Philadelphia Eagles have made some moves in the last day or so. Here are some quick bullet points on what they’ve done: -Signed former Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones. He’s a former first-round pick who has a career average of almost five yards per carry. His problem? He’s never healthy. He has big-play [...]
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Jackson was hitting .272 this season, even if he wasn’t providing much power (two HR’s). So, he’s not a bat that you’re thrilled to lose in your lineup. But, lose him they will, as he’s been placed on the 15-day disabled list. Jackson is expected to need the full 15 days [...]
It’s been a rough week for former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young. Not long ago, he was a second-round pick whom the team had high hopes for. Now? He’s not on an NFL roster and probably won’t be ever again, barring drastic changes in his behavior. Young was arrested again on Friday on charges [...]
If I’m Boston Bruins goalie Tukka Rask, I’m in a good mood these days. I just finished my first full season as the undisputed starter, played well, and now I’m in the playoffs and my team is winning. Oh, and I’m about to get a tractor trailer full of cash this offseason. There’s that too. [...]
It’s sad to say, but this is probably the end of the line for former Rookie of the Year Brandon Roy. Sources tell Yahoo! Sports that the Minnesota Timberwolves are finalizing his release after he played in just five games this season. Roy has had seven (seven) knee surgeries since he entered the league and [...]
It’s the first day of rookie camp for NFL teams and the New York Jets are getting their first look at their first year guys. So, head coach Rex Ryan took time to talk about Dee Milliner and Sheldon Richardson? Nope. He actually started firing shots at a first year player from last year. Ryan [...]
Tim Tebow’s popularity – more than perhaps anything else – is killing him right now. Sure, he’s not a very good quarterback, has awful mechanics and is a nightmare in terms of accuracy. But, it’s the “Tebowmania” that could be as big of a reason for him remaining unsigned as his awful quarterback play. Since [...]
By now you’ve surely heard about Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ. Against the Tampa Bay Rays, he took a hard line drive right off the side of his head. We’ve seen pitchers get hit with comebackers before, but this was something different. Happ was knocked to the ground and needed to be taken off [...]
