Some Good News, Finally and Some Tough Decisions
Posted on 17 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
There’s a slight chance I may have overreacted last week when I said that the A’s were pretty much out of it. This may sound familiar, but what a difference a week makes. In early June, the A’s were right in the thick of the AL West race and the offense was starting to heat up. By last week half the A’s starters were on the DL, the A’s fell to last place, Brett Anderson seemed destine...

How the A’s Did in the Early Rounds… And Some Bad News
Posted on 8 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
The MLB Draft is by far the most tedious draft of all the major American sports and is easily the biggest crap shoot the three. It takes three days and consists of over fifty rounds, a lot for even the diehard fan to follow. And the players that are eventually signed (far from all that are drafted) are then sent to the even less predictable minor leagues making it almost impossible to evaluate ...

One is better than None
Posted on 8 Apr 2011 by Jon Lopez.
We can all agree that Houston should be at least 3-3 instead of 1-5. Opportunities were there but pitching just hasn't shown up except for Brett Myers Who should have a record of 2-0. How do you score 4 runs in the first inning and lose the game 10-4? that's pretty bad. Not as bad as the Red Sox though. Asking a team like Houston to start the season with two of the best teams in the NL isn't th...

Posted on 23 Feb 2011 by Debbie Baratz.
The invite list has been out for awhile but here's a friendly reminder of the upcoming NFL Combine that begins on Feb. 24 through March 1. For your viewing pleasure, the NFL Network will be broadcasting 30 hours of the Combine with their ridiculous amount of too many tv personalities and experts. Along with nine Ohio State players leading the Big Ten with invites to the Combine, Iowa also ...

2010 A VIKING ODYSSEY; CLOSING THE BOOK
Posted on 16 Jan 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
The good news for Minnesota Viking fans is that the Vikes had a first round bye in the playoffs last weekend. The bad news is that Minnesota has a second, third, and fourth round bye too. Not making the playoffs was not in the forecast for the Vikings this year, but it certainly was the reality. There are plenty of reasons the Vikings had such a difficult year and during the seco...

What’s Next for Eagles? Playoffs? Favre?
Posted on 23 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Vick voted NFL Player of the Week for third time Last week's New Miracle in the New Meadowlands was incredible. In the NFL, you are only as good as your next game. So, while Eagles fans have been celebrating and dancing in the streets or thumping their chests screaming “We're Number One”, Eagles coaches have been devising a game plan for the Minnesota Vikings. The Las Vegas oddmaker...

VIKINGS LOSS TO BEARS BRINGS UP MORE QUESTIONS
Posted on 22 Dec 2010 by Sean Eckhardt.
Losing an outdoor game to the Chicago Bears shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody, but Monday night's loss was actually a home game for the Vikings. The contest started out promising with a surprise start(if there is such a thing) by Brett Favre. All seemed right with the world as the conditions were Green Bay-esque and the Vikings drove down the field on their opening drive for ...

Leafs Nation: This is the new plan?!?
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
Brett Lebda is playing LW tonight and Nazem Kadri continues to be a healthy scratch. In what bizarre edition of reality does this scenario even remotely make sense? Seriously? Brett Lebda. Makes sense that the under-achieving defenseman that is incapable of cracking the blue line when all Leafs defensemen are healthy is now taking NHL playing time away from the organization’s top prospec...

Giants Path to Victory Goes Through KC Airport
Posted on 11 Dec 2010 by Mark Reichman.
The Giants are stranded tonight in the Kansas City airport after two feet of snow prevented their scheduled landing in Minnesota this morning. Big Blue will be forced to do their run through in an airplane hangar, eat barbecue sandwiches and hopefully fly tomorrow morning, hours before their 1 PM kickoff with the Vikings. Like any experienced business traveler, the Giants aren't gonna let a...

Battle of 0-4 Super Bowl Losers
Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Norm Duhamel.
Week 13 brings Buffalo Bills against Minnesota Vikings which I have dubbed the “Battle of the Super Bowl Losers”. Combined they have 8 Super Bowl losses and as we all know Buffalo lost 4 straight but you may not know that Minnesota lost theirs in a span of 7 years. Realistically none of these losses really matter anymore but as fans these losses are still raw. I'm still reeling aft...

NOW THAT CHILDRESS IS OUT OF THE PICTURE, WHEN DOES THE POST FAVRE ERA START?
Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Minnesota Vikings are just hours away from their first game in almost five years without Brad Childress as head coach. In this season of disappointment, the thought of Chilly not being on the sidelines brings a smile to the faces of Viking fans everywhere. That smile will go away quickly when Brett Favre makes his first mistake today. Whether it's an interception, a fumble, o...

Favre’s Legacy Outlasted; Childress Out
Posted on 22 Nov 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Ruth's last day Would you really rather see Babe Ruth weighing 300 pounds and struggling to GET to first base when he doesn't hit a home run – or corkscrew himself into the ground swinging and missing wildly at a mediocre curveball? Would you pay good money to see him use his bat as a cane to hold himself up? Who would choose to see the Sultan of Sloth over the Sultan of Swat? Would...
