The NFL refs blew the game petition

Is there anyone in the world who is not a Steelers fan who thinks the game was fairly officiated? That was one of the worst officiated games in the history of the NFL.  Bill Leavy just took Dick Bavetta off the hook for worst official in a championship game.

Mets Bullpen At A Glance

      Today will be the first of four, breakdowns of the Mets roster. The team will be broken down into four aspects, the bullpen, the starting rotation, the outfield, and the infield, each of which will be covered by the time the World Baseball Classic begins which, at that point things will heat up. After tomorrow’s Super Bowl the next few weeks will be the worst time of the sport year, as the only thing to watch is hockey, or mid season basketball (and the Knicks suck). This is the only way to truly get information out there until pre season begins and the Classic premieres.

Thomas Kills the Knicks Once Again

By David J Cohen

In another “brilliant” move by New York Knicks General Manager Isaiah Thomas, the Knicks acquired G/F Jalen Rose and a first round pick from Toronto for F Antonio Davis. At first glance, it seems as if Isaiah Thomas has manufactured a highway robbery in favor of the Knicks. However, a closer look shows that the Knicks are following a familiar road toward more seasons of mediocrity.

Super Bowl Xtra Large!

Super Bowl Forty is in less then a week. Congratulations Mike Holmgren, and of course Ben Roethlisberger and the Boys from Pitt. How could we leave them out, right? And what about Shaun Alexander in Seattle. Maybe that twenty seven straight days of rain helped a little bit, right? Maybe it just might give the Hawks the mentality to rain all over Pittsburgh for sixty straight minutes of gratifying football.

Here’s my super bowl preview.

The Next Big- Undersold Ticket

Sports Illustrated is about to tell the sports world just how good Chris Bosh really is. Somewhere in their upcoming feature, I have to assume, will be the words Kevin Garnett.

McNabb’s flaws coming to light

He is one of the classiest guys in the NFL.  He’s had one of the best winning percentages in the league since he became a starter.   He’s one of the superstars of the league. He’s the best quarterback in Philadelphia Eagles history. He shrugs off controversy and always says the right thing.  So what’s wrong with McNabb?  He just isn’t a leader, no matter how many times he tells you he is.

Where Selig Went Wrong with Realignment

by Matt Wells

I can picture it now.  You wake up early for work and open up the sports page of your newspaper.  You’re in dire search of those boxscores from last night’s baseball games.  While you’re at it, you take a look at the standings.

You see the 30 teams in their respective divisions, but something is bothering you.  There are more teams in one league than the other!  Something is wrong: 16 teams in the National League and 14 teams in the American League.  Baseball is imbalanced.  You wonder how something like this happened.  I have two words for you: Bud Selig.
