Don’t get me wrong. I think Andy Reid is a good coach. I also feel Donovan McNabb is a fine quarterback. But when will the Philadelphia Eagles be a big play team in critical moments? When will they graduate from being a competitive team to an outright force in the NFC?
The game against the Chicago [...]

A Couple Of Wild Pitchers
By Alex
Seriously.
C.C. Sabathia.
Three times on three days rest and three wins? No wonder. Look at his arm.
To me, that’s one of the best things I’ve seen in sports. His performance essentially propelled the Brewers into the post season.
He wasn’t the only one.
Johan Santana won three games in nine days for the crumbling Mets. One of [...]

Stats Corner: Historical Second Best Team In AL
With the Boston Red Sox in the playoffs one could be excused if the perception was the Sox were historically the second best team behind the New York Yankees in the American league.
You’re excused.

According to my math, there have [...]

Manager Manny Acta gets to keep his job.
So does GM Jim Bowden. The man behind the mess.
Maybe I don’t know [...]

Dinosaurs Rule Soccer
By Alex
As I’ve written in the past, soccer needs to modernize.
Modernization is often seen as an attack on tradition. We see this often in sports. Baseball, for example, is guarded by so-called purists. If it were up to them, we’d still be using 19th century rules.
I exaggerate but you get the point.
The last major debate [...]

Wenger And Platini Won’t Be Sharing Wine And Cheese
By John ST
On one side of this sparring match, we have Frenchman Michael Platini, the president of Uefa and the other, good old Arsene Wenger, manager of Arsenal FC. Both were friends for many years but ever since Platini ascends the lofty position of Uefa president, relationships have been strained.
Wenger and Platini were embroiled in [...]
