Another entertaining chapter was added to the in-state rivalry between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers last night, as these two teams wasted little time getting reacquainted. With the tough guys from both teams on the ice for the game’s opening face-off, it should come as little surprise to hear that it [...]
Since the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, there has been a total of 11 first-overall draft picks and 330 first-round selections. Some of those early first-round picks, like Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, have already worked their way towards superstar status, while others, like Alexander Svitov and Gilbert Brule, have struggled to make a name for [...]
Mamadou Ndiaye of Brethren Christian High School in California may not be the most skilled player on the basketball court, but at a whopping 7’5″, he is easily the tallest player on any given night. And when you have more than a one-foot advantage over your opponent’s tallest player, you tend to be quite the [...]
TMZ has made a living reporting on the strange, funny and embarrassing incidents that happen to others (mainly celebrities). However, this time they are reporting on a strange, funny and embarrassing incident that happened to one of their own, as they decided to get in on the fun during a celebrity basketball game over Super [...]
When the final buzzer blew at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California last night, the scoreboard read “Oklahoma City Thunder 119, Golden State Warriors 116.” Judging by the image above, that means the Warriors managed to score 23 points during the final 12 minutes of the game, while the Thunder somehow managed to lose a [...]
If you missed Tom Brady running over New York Giants defenders in his sports car, a geriatric Lady Gaga performing with a viking hat and stroller during the halftime show, and Ahmad Bradshaw unleashing a Matrix-style maneuver while scoring the game wining touchdown during Sunday’s Super Bowl in Indianapolis, you may want to catch up [...]
No matter how many goals you have or where you rank among all NHLers in goal scoring, you are never safe from the Tampa Bay tradition of getting a face full of shaving cream on your birthday. Steve Downie and Ryan Malone proved this yesterday morning when they shared their foamy gift with the NHL’s [...]
Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: Duke Blue Devils @ North Carolina Tar Heels
The Reason: It’s rivalry week in the NCAA, and as far as rivalries go, they don’t get much bigger than Duke vs. North Carolina. The Blue Devils has gotten the better of the Tar Heels as of late, winning four of the last five meetings, but we believe that will all change tonight. UNC heads into the latest chapter of this rivalry with a 20-3 record this season, a 15-1 record…
It won’t be long before Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger is in the NBA getting posterized by Blake Griffin, but until that time comes, he’ll simply have to settle with getting posterized by little-known college players like Purdue’s Kelsey Barlow. This massive crowning of Sullinger would account for two of Barlow’s 14 points on the evening [...]
It was on this day in 1996 that representatives of Cleveland and the NFL reached a settlement with Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell that would allow him to move the franchise to Baltimore. Following a fan contest, they would adopt the “Ravens” nickname and the Baltimore Raves were born. When Modell first announced his intentions [...]
First, I’d like to start off by informing anyone not familiar with the circus that getting clotheslined by a wire and crashing 50 feet onto the floor below is not “just a part of the act.” Now with that being said, I can’t help but wonder what the organizers of this Shrine Circus show in Saginaw [...]
If you are a fan of goals, last night’s game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Islanders was not for you. Through 65 minutes of play these two teams combined to score a whopping zero goals. The Islanders directed 18 shots on the Flyers goal throughout the evening, but they couldn’t manage to [...]
Leading up to Super Bowl XLVI, Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski was dealing with a high ankle sprain. And while the injury did limit him throughout Sunday’s game (he finished with just two receptions for 26 yards), the pain of both his ankle and the loss his team suffered was not enough to limit him [...]
You simply have to love bandwagon footballs fans. You couldn’t find them within 100 yards of a television every Sunday throughout the entire NFL season, but once they realize their New York Giants are in the Super Bowl, they are the first ones to buy a jersey and paint their face blue for the big [...]
Many people have used the saying “When pigs fly” to describe something that is virtually impossible. Being a sports lover and die-hard hockey fan, I have often used the term “when hockey players fly” to describe the Toronto Maple Leafs chances at winning another Stanley Cup or Scott Gomez’s chances of scoring another goal (it [...]
