A fight between millionaires and billionaires looks to be the biggest reality-show drama of the summer. With no end in sight for the bitter NFL lockout, fans of what’s arguably America’s most popular sport may have to turn elsewhere to get their football fix this fall. If the No. 1 choice for football nationally (although not […]

With his name engraved on the Memorial Cup two times over the last four years, Ryan Ellis is certainly familiar with playing top-calibre hockey in the month of May. To date, the Nashville Predators prospect has tackled virtually every on-ice challenge thrown his way, whether it has been internationally with Team Canada or with his home squad, theWindsor Spitfires. Just recently, […]

Later this year, baseball fans and movie watchers alike will be united by the film adaptation of the best-selling Michael Lewis book Moneyball. Though a fascinating read in its own right, perhaps just as intriguing as the book itself has been the path the story has taken to production. Alas, after far too many unanswered questions and changes in direction, […]

There’s a man with a bear on his leg that deserves your respect, not for spending his formative years as a professional athlete toiling in what was viewed by his colleagues as an NBA wasteland, not for his rapid ascent up the business side of the sport he dominated all his life immediately upon retiring […]

Numbers, although deceiving, don’t lie. It’s an infamous cliche both comforting and disturbing for Toronto Raptors scoring point guard Jerryd Bayless. The 22-year-old, after all, has seen combinations of digits dictate the majority of his brief career, occasionally for better, but often for worse. Numbers of opportunities have limited his chance to showcase the offensive ability he […]

Before reaching the Eastern Conference Finals with the Montreal Canadiens last year,Dominic Moore had about as much playoff experience as a rookie. He played four games with the New York Rangers in the 2006 postseason, when they got swept by the New Jersey Devils in the first round. He had about the same impact on the score sheet as a […]

On the surface, there are plenty of similarities between former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton and former LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell. Both quarterbacks were known for their size, their arm and their mobility in college, both played against top competition in the SEC, and both led their teams to spectacular results (a Sugar Bowl win for Russell, a BCS national championship for Newton). […]

The conditions are ripe for the NBA’s return to Vancouver – but hold on, Seattle has dibs. On the evening of Apr. 28, the No. 8 seed Memphis Grizzlies entered the AT&T Center in San Antonio looking to knock out the No. 1 seed Spurs. Had it not been for some last second Spurs heroics and perfect […]

Francisco Liriano put himself in the baseball history books last week when he threw a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox at US Cellular Field. He joins an elite list of pitchers who have tossed a coveted no-no, after stringing together just the 265th such performance since 1875. It was the first no-hitter for a Twins pitcher since […]

The Canadian Hockey League has dominated the top prospects scene for as long as anyone can remember. With countless NHL stars coming out of their programs over the years, it’s no wonder the major junior circuit in Canada is considered the go-to source for talent when the NHL Entry Draft rolls around each June. Coming in a […]
