The NBA season is drawing into its closing stretch, with only about 16-20 games left before the playoffs start up.

This we will look at another time in a future piece.

But today we will look at the teams who ...  read more

The Lakers sit at 31-31 and have needed time to get healthy, gel and get used to the new coach’s game plan. Kobe is finally taking control to distribute the ball and not have it be him and four guys watching. The Lakers are going to play well and just three games back of the 7th and 8th spot in the West which is Houston and Utah and four behind Golden State for 6th. If they make the playoffs in th ...  read more

And of course, comes the question now and will be during the off season drama-capades, what are the Vikings going to do with Percy Harvin?

Percy needs to grow up and become a leader on this team. His num ...  read more

There are only two big awards that need to be discussed: MVP and Rookie of the Year. MVP is between Adrian Peterson and Peyton Manning with the loser getting the consolation prize of comeback player of the year with each player coming off an injury. The differences from 2011 to 2012 were Minnesota went from 3-13 in 2011 to 10-6 in 2012 and scored 340 in 2011 and 379 in 2012. Denver increased a b ...  read more

The Nets for the last several years have been a team that wasn’t looked at as a tougher challenge to play in general, let alone a legitimate title contender. Are they there yet?

After firing Avery Johnson as their Head Coach, and the never ending recycling machine continues, they hired PJ Carlisimo, as their Head Coach. Things have gotten back on track for the Nets as a team. Often ...  read more

The 2012 season has been once more, exciting. This year, in 2012, we have seen some amazing comebacks from some of our fan favorites resurrected from the ashes like a Phoenix to be playing at top notch level once again. Peyton Manning was released by the Indianapolis Colts, after a 14 year career, and signed with the Denver Broncos, after shopping himself around to numerous teams. Many were ...  read more

It looks as if every year Tom Coughlin is on the hot seat, after the Giants go through a losing bend; they did it in 2011, when they lost 5 out of 6 games. They did it in 2007, when they were only scoring 17/game during a 6 game stretch, and both of those years they went to the playoffs and, oh by the way, won the Super Bowl, beating the New England Patriots, both times. Regular season reco ...  read more

Judging a QB class is extremely difficult to say the least. As the person in charge on the football field, many meticulous things come into effect of course. Let’s take a closer look at the best of the last 30 years, and who has had the most success. With the lackluster 90’s QB classes, where it unquestionably was hit or miss, with only a handful of high-quality players coming out of a few rand ...  read more

After 3 seasons, 152 wins, including a shortened season, and a push to the NBA Finals in 2011, what the Oklahoma City Thunder had built with Durant, Westbrook and Harden did I ever expect this to happen to them. They broke up a team that had scoring, rebounding, and playmaking coming from numerous positions on the court. Oklahoma City has hurt their chances of getting back to the Finals, ...  read more

Manager of the Year

AL manager of the year was a great race down to the last day. For much of the season it looked like Buck Showalter was a runaway winner, but the last month Bob Melvin threw his name into the ring and overtook Showalter on the last day. Buck guided the Orioles into the playoffs as a wildcard with a 93-69 record second in the AL East. Out in the West the A’s came from 13 down ...  read more

When Matt Moore was picked up initially by the Dallas Cowboys in 2007, not a lot was expected from the 6-3 undrafted free agent QB from Oregon State. He didn’t come out with the big splash that other QBs that year came out with, like super flop JaMarcus Russell, in what, largely ended up a horrible QB draft class.

Moore came to Carolina, and put up average numbers when playing for ...  read more

The San Francisco 49ers have been built quite well over the last several seasons. They were the new team that was “on the rise.” It seems now, they have arrived, no longer the up and coming team to watch out for, they are now the team, you are worried about coming into your home, smacking you around and taking your last beer.

Things have changed, indeed.

Its fall which means another start to football season and before the pros lace them up the college kids kick things off.

When Tim Tebow came out of Florida he was a phenom, he was big, strong, fast, and played in an amazing offensive system. Many who may be barking about how poor a QB he is now, were also singing his praise (no pun intended) when he was a Gator. He was very accurate hitting a career 66% completion rate. He threw for over 9200 yards, yes, threw 88 TD passes to only 16 picks. Tebow was a unique ...  read more

St. Louis vs. Texas was an unlikely scenario to be the World Series match up, but they earned their way here on the strengths of a solid line up and quality arms out of the bullpen.
