Dirty Bird Blog: Welcome to Sherbrooke
Posted on 6 Jun 2011 by Clifford Pine.
To win the Grey Cup, you have to put the time and the work in. That's a given regardless of who you ask in this league. True champions will tell you that you never stop working 365 days of the year towards that goal. But if you really want to put a start date on when you start working for that championship, one can easily start with opening day of training camp. It's an exciting time, as bo...

Dirty Bird Blog: Taking Flight
Posted on 2 Jun 2011 by Clifford Pine.
The 2011 CFL season technically starts Canada Day weekend, but the foundation for the upcoming season is being laid out starting this weekend. All 8 teams begin training camp & it's a different look for every team. Most notably the 2 time defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes as the team that will take the field this June 30th will be vastly different than the one who raised Earl G...

Mets Have Short a Leash Early
Posted on 20 Apr 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Though the season is a little more than two weeks old, the New York Mets have already shown that they are not afraid to pull the trigger if a player is underperforming. The combination of Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins is attempting to light a fire under their players. Part of the way they’re going about this is by letting players know that if they don’t show up, they’ll be sent ou...

2011 Cy Young Predictions, Rookies too
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
As it appears this final week of Spring Training, the Cy Young races will eventually prove that the 2010 voting was more accurate than most realize. Historically, Cy Young voting has been predicated on a very simple set of stats – wins, tempered with ERA and IP. In 2010 Felix Hernandez won the Cy Young Award for a last place team – which has happened only a couple times in history (...

MURPHY’S LAW STRIKES LIDGE’S ANATOMY
Posted on 25 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Welcome to another gripping episode of Phillies Anatomy. When last we left our intrepid Phightins, there were Phour Aces, a stacked lineup and a potential run at a fifth straight NL East title all in sight. Speculation that the Phillies were the prohibitive favorite in the NL inspired fans looking to avenge the 2010 NLCS. Dreams of a Boston-Philly World Series or perhaps a rematch of 2009’s W...

UFC 128 Fallout, Rashad Evans Speaks On Jones, Jackson, and Future Title Fight
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Martin Foster.
Following his title win over Shogun Rua on Saturday night at UFC 128, Jon Jones stood face to face in the octagon with friend and former training partner, Rashad Evans. Over the last year of training and spending free time together the two fighters had grown close. In mixed martial arts however, especially when it comes to world titles, friends can quickly become enemies and brothers can beco...

Defense Wins Championships
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
As I speak… err, type, the Cubs are getting set to open up the second half of Spring Training facing the South-Siders. I’m left wondering why it is so difficult these days to catch a Spring Training game. There are streams online, video and audio I know, but is it just me or was it way easier ten or fifteen years ago to follow the MLB’s exhibition season? I know it doesn’t really matter...

Marlins not facing the Early Concerns they expected
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Brendan Tobin.
So far so good for Matt Dominguez at the plate Matt Dominguez is hitting. Javier Vazquez’s velocity seems fine. Chris Coghlan is playing in back to back games and the four and five starters are shutting teams out. Some of the top concerns for the Florida Marlins coming into spring training don’t seem to be so bothersome at the moment. The top priority was to find out if 21-year old Matt Dom...

Giants Begin Spring Training 2011
Posted on 19 Feb 2011 by Joseph Davis.
Tell me I am not the only Giants fan who, upon being reminded that pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training February 14th, thought to him/herself: “THIS is the year we finally break that 50-some odd year World Series drought.” When in actuality, the Giants will be seeking to break a 50-some odd week title drought in October 2011. In a lot of ways, for me, it still hasn’t quite sunk...

Brad Emaus: Is the Hype Deserved?
Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Jim Mancari.
I love when MLB analysts, bloggers and fans release their picks for a team's projected lineup heading into the season. In many cases, educated baseball fans arrive somewhere in the “ballpark” (no pun intended) of what the Opening Day lineup will look like. Since Terry Collins has given everyone a preview of at least two-thirds of the order, there really is no guessing game associ...

Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Green Bay's Tramon Williams intercepts pass intended for Eagles Riley Cooper Two weeks ago, the Eagles 2010 season was over, thanks to a loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. Those same Packers will now represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLV. Meanwhile the Eagles have been busily reworking their coaching staff. Defensive Coordinator Sean McDermott was first to go, followed quickly by def...

More On TUF 13 Coaching Decision
Posted on 12 Jan 2011 by Martin Foster.
Just following up on the breaking news from yesterday. Brock being named as a coach on TUF didn’t seem reasonable or realistic to some but this move could prove very beneficial to Lesnar, Dos Santos and the UFC. The former champion will be releasing a book in the near future and 12 weeks on television certainly won’t hurt in terms of promotion. Additionally, Brock will finally be out of...
