Is Al Davis Just Messing With Tom Cable Because He Can?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Oakland head coach Tom Cable will be retained, and at least for now, appears set to coach the Raiders for the 2010 season. Despite rumors that team owner Al Davis was pursuing possible candidate for the past week and a half, the Raiders brass appears to have abruptly cut-off [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 20th): Buffalo Bills hire Chan Gailey as head coach, Jonathan Stewart has surgery, and more
Chan Gailey Made Buffalo Bills Head Coach The Buffalo Bills hired Georgie Tech coach Chan Gailey as their new head coach. Saying Gailey’s name out loud doesn’t quite erase the taste that Dick Jauron left in fan’s mouths, and it doesn’t necessarily get you thinking “playoffs”, either. However, with 34 years of experience in college [...]
State Of The Vikings: All Is Well In Minnesota
The title (as most are) can be deceiving. “All” may not be well in Minnesota. After all, the Vikings are coming off of two ugly road losses in their past three games, both of which their offense has failed top 17 points, and has executed extremely poorly on third downs. But aside from that, yes, [...]
What to watch this weekend (Oct 3-5)
Last week, college football fans saw four top ten teams (Ole Miss, Penn State, Cal and Miami) lose in disheartening fashion.

Three-team trade “not going to happen”
ESPN’s NBA reporters are some of the best in the business, but even they tend to throw stuff at the wall to see if it sticks. It turns out the three-team trade involving the Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, and Portland Trail Blazers, which was reported yesterday by Marc Stein and Chad Ford, was nothing more [...]
Another top-10 team bites the dust on Thursday night
If you’re a ranked team, and you’ve got a potentially dangerous Thursday night game left on your schedule this season, you should probably start doing all you can to petition to have your game moved. It’s been a season full of upsets so far, but little ol’ Thursday night has kicked off the upset specials [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 4: Whose time is it to Shine, Who should Ride the Pine?
Before we get started on our week four projections, I’ve got a bone to pick with Matthew Berry a.k.a. “The talented Mr. Roto” who works over at ESPN. While I will admit that he’s probably better at this than I am, he does just about everything I hate when it comes to his “Love ‘em, [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 4: Rivalries and non-conference matchups highlight this week’s slate
After an exciting week last week, there’s no game that’s the caliber of USC-Ohio State, but there’s not a letdown in the least. This weekend’s slate offers up several rivalry games, a few key early conference matchups, and some good non-conference showdowns as well, and it all gets started tonight. That’s right, tonight, which is [...]
