Time has been good to the San Antonio Spurs. It’s a cliche, sure, but one that partially explains why they get along so well. When I say “they”, I’m not talking about the members of the team getting along with each other – though they do – but the relationship between the franchise and the […]

Under the direction of Ken Holland, the Detroit Red Wings have won eight Central Division titles, four President’s Trophies and three Stanley Cups; it’s fair to assume the man knows a thing or two about hockey. When asked about one of his former players – ex-Red Wing Sean Avery – in a 2008 interview with […]

Meaningful football will take place this Sunday, however, it will not involve the Nauseating Football League. Instead, it will involve two teams battling for one of professional football’s most storied titles: The Grey Cup. The 98th edition of the Canadian football championship will occur in Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium and features a rematch of last year’s […]

There was a big change in Chris Bosh this July, when he went to Miami. It wasn’t the new jersey or number or teammates. It was his dreads, or rather, the lack of them. Indeed, it was a clean-cut Bosh who hung out on stage with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. His hair may seem […]

Big Three? What Big Three? Can somebody let me know who makes it three, because it certainly is not Chris Bosh. He doesn’t block many shots. He’s soft and doesn’t play aggressively on defense. He isn’t anything special with his back to the basket either and, simply put, just isn’t an enforcer. Despite these weaknesses, […]

The Los Angeles sports market is the type of place where a clich like “one is never enough” fits. Two professional baseball teams, two professional hockey teams, two professional soccer teams, four professional basketball teams and a bevy of college sports. Amongst this feast of sport is a unique dynamic involving basketball’s Lakers and Clippers. […]

If you believe that behavior is influenced by your environment, and specifically the opinions and attitudes that surround you, then the fact that the Philadelphia Flyers have consistently held the title as the dirtiest team in the league should come as no surprise. After joining the NHL in the league’s first mass expansion back 1967, […]
