It’s the third week of March. To some, this calls for celebrating the arrival of spring by heading outside and enjoying the warm weather. But if you’re on this site you know that the only thing that will be getting a workout is your couch. The NCAA Tournament is here, and to celebrate, here are […]

History has a funny way of repeating itself. On January 14, 2006, Montreal Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey fired his head coach and assumed the role himself for the remainder of the club’s season. The fatality was Claude Julien. Three years, one month and 23 days later, he did the exact same thing – the […]

Last year at this time, anyone who suggested that the Tampa Bay Rays would win the American League pennant would’ve probably been laughed at. Experts knew the Rays were improving, but no one expected the improvements to occur so quickly. After finishing last in the AL East for the majority of their existence, the Rays […]

Cody Hodgson has his life together – think about it. Not one year removed from graduating high school, the charismatic young man with the boyish grin and chiseled jaw was a shoo-in for the program of his choice at a substantial university in Ontario.

Speculation continues to swirl around the possibility of LeBron James relocating to New York City in the summer of 2010, and while the prospect of King James moving his throne to the league’s largest market is an exciting possibility, the city’s treatment of kings passed does nothing to enhance their appeal to the association’s unquestioned […]

On March 4th, many Canadian sports fans will abandon their daily chores and sit in front of their television sets, listening and watching attentively. Their reason won’t be to watch a championship match or the opening ceremonies of a prestigious tournament. Instead, fans will stop everything they normally do for an event that is inspired […]

It’s just past two on a sunny New Orleans afternoon when, “I’m going to stop here, but if you still want to go, just keep going down St. Claude and turn left at the lights. I ain’t going in there.” These are the words of our escort – if you’d call her that – as […]

Isiah Thomas left quite the mess in New York. A bloated payroll built on a roster comprised of underachievers and unhappy campers, who couldn’t even manage to co-exist with a great coach like Larry Brown resulted in a highly dissatisfied fan base in the league’s largest market. In the face of coaching changes, trades, questionable […]
