    Below is an excerpt from the article.

    “Now before everyone gets their guard up and says Regehr is [...]

  • Jay Bouwmeester: Disappointment or Not Used Properly? J-Bo

    This is a story I posted on Matchsticks & Gasoline as part of our player preview series.  Come take a look at some of the other articles if you’re interested.

    Sometimes things just don’t work out like we thought.  Items bought on eBay looked better in the picture than when they arrive in the mail, your [...]

  • Fireman Ed Should Pour a Stiff Drink fireman ed

    Rex Ryan may be the king of the F-bombs, but he better use as many as he can during the regular season.  The Jets won’t be making the playoffs.

    The Jets used up all their luck last year.  There are no playoff-bound cakewalk games at the end of this season’s schedule.  Opposing kickers are all out [...]

  • What is Darrelle Revis Worth to the Jets? revis

    Revis Island can be a lonely place for receivers.  At the moment it’s also a lonely place for a Darrelle Revis.  The man who was hands-down the best defensive player in the league last year is not practicing or spending time with his teammates, and it HAS to be a frustrating way to follow up [...]

I joined the Ultimate Football Talk podcast tonight to talk about a few of the prospects for the NFL draft tomorrow.  Marty Borotsik, the regular host of the show just shot some rapid fire topics and we went through them like a set of clippers through Big Ben’s dirtbag undercut.

Looking at the results of the NHL draft lottery, it’s easy to conclude that the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Bruins were the big winners.

Both Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin are considered sure-fire prospects at the center position and both will likely be ready for their first NHL duty next season.

For the Oilers, winning the [...]

NFL Draft – Not a Mock, Just Give Me The Rock

Oakland_Raiders_Press_408f

I’m sick of mock drafts.  Speculating on what a team “might” do is boring.  I’d rather tell teams what they SHOULD do.  Frankly, Al Davis should be reading this, nodding his head and calling me to run his draft room.

If I was a betting man, and I am, I’d rather actually place bets on the [...]
