Does Yao’s injury mean time to hit panic button in Houston?
Just when the Rockets push the eventual champion L.A. Lakers to a seventh game, Ming breaks his foot. Again. And then after Houston was ousted, the Rockets front office immediately tried rectifying the damage done by Ming’s injury. Despite finding a gem in Aaron Brooks throughout the playoffs, they attempted to package him with Shane [...]
Is Brandon Jennings Already Calling The Shots In Milwaukee?
With the 10th overall selection in last Thursday’s NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks either took a strong step forward to becoming an elite team, or they added a cancerous locker-room presence. Truth be told, Jennings has ran his mouth quite a bit leading up to the draft. He also let his opinion be known in [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Red Sox roll to top spot
The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to sport the best record in baseball, but do they top my initial MLB power rankings? (Records through June 28) 1.

Can Albert Pujols win the Triple Crown?
There isn’t a more dangerous hitter in baseball right than Albert Pujols. Pujols homered twice and drove in four runs in St. Louis’ 5-3 win over Minnesota today, extending his MLB-leading totals to 28 homers and 74 RBI. It was the sixth multihomer game of the season for the Cardinals first baseman, and the reigning [...]
Blasts From The Past: Michael Olowokandi
As expected, the Los Angeles Clippers drafted Oklahoma man-beast Blake Griffin with the first overall pick of the 2009 NBA Draft tonight. Long-suffering Clippers fans are hoping that Griffin is the piece that can turn the laughable losers into perennial winners, which is what the franchise mistakenly thought they might have been getting the last [...]
Seattle Seahawks’ Mike Hass catching on?
Recent reports out of the Seattle Seahawks’ Organized Team Activities suggest Mike Hass is a Pro Bowler waiting to happen. Tell that to T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Tell that to Deion Branch and Nate Burleson. Hell, send Logan Payne an e-mail. The fact is, this isn’t news. In fact, to anyone who knows about Mike Hass and [...]

The Kansas City Chiefs will retire the number 58 in honor of the late Derrick Thomas, who will be inducted posthumously into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August. His number will be retired on December 6, when the Chiefs play the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium. Thomas was one of the most dominant [...]
Fantasy Football Preview: Tight Ends
With only around five “elite” tight ends in the league, and only another 10 that could be deemed “solid” fantasy starters, it’d be a waste of time to run through two separate conferences. Here at The Red Zone Report, we’re all about delivering fast, accurate knowledge. We don’t beat around the bush. Here’s a quick [...]
Phillies maintain NL East lead, but home struggles continue
Are the Philadelphia Phillies allergic to winning at home? It sure seems that the defending World Series champs could use some Allegra when they take the field at Citizens Bank Park, because home has been anything but a fortress for the Phillies thus far this season. After dropping two of three to Boston last weekend [...]
Favre just wants to win, baby
Sure, there’s a small part of Brett Favre that is going to love facing his former team twice in 2009. There’s a part of him, deep down, that gets added fuel to the fire from his disdain for Ted Thompson and the Green Bay front office. After all, he’s a Packers legend, holds all their [...]
