By Craig Edwards Do you have all sorts of disposable income... say millions of dollars... handy? Then how about jumping on the latest trend: launching your own professional football league. Last week, organizers announced plans to launch the United National Football League in January of 2009. The league wants to serve as a minor league for the NFL. The UNFL joins two other leagues, the All-American Football Conference... By Joe Becker Do you know who Jay Berwanger is? He was the number one draft pick for the Philadelphia Eagles. No, not this year...but back in 1936 during the first NFL Draft. Berwanger was also the first Heisman Trophy winner in 1935. He was from the University of Chicago. The NFL Draft has become one of the biggest days of the year for Pro Football fans. It's fun to see where the big time college stars are going to go.... By Craig Edwards What a fickle business the NFL is. On this day two years ago, Shaun Alexander had just become highest paid running back in history, and was talking all about a return trip to the Super Bowl. Today, Shaun Alexander is unemployed. The Seahawks officially cut the former MVP, two years removed from their Super Bowl run, and two years after signing him to a monster contract. The move may surpris... By Joe Becker It was a great night at the Rose Garden. The Blazers beat the Grizzlies 113-91 to assure themselves at least a 500 record. They are 41-40 with one more at Phoenix on Wednesday. Travis Outlaw with a pair of amazing dunks at the end capped it all off and sent the fans home waiting to see more next season. Blazer fans are lucky, they have a young talented team of great guys to cheer for...and they are goi... By Joe Becker What a weekend at the Masters. Trevor Immelman leads start to finish at beats the legendary Tiger Woods by three shots. Everyone was waiting for Tiger to make a big move...but the conditions on the course were so difficult. Tiger didn't play badly....only four golfers in the field scored better in the final round. Immelman played well all week and it was his time to win. It takes skill and sometimes a litt... By Craig Edwards We're about to start one of the best events in the world of sports, though it's becoming more and more of a secret in the U.S. The NHL's Stanley Cup playoffs start tonight, with four of the first round matchups dropping the puck. In all, 16 teams will battle for the right to hold one of the oldest trophies in sports. FYI, a quick wikipedia check tells me that the Stanley Cup was named for Lord Frederick Stanl... By Adam Bjaranson We all know...it's about winning games, right? And today, OSU named Craig Robinson their new head basketball coach. Nowhere to go but up, right? I'm not gonna be a critic here and judge the guy already! I know, you know, and he knows what needs to be accomplished. So, let's just let him get his feet wet, find a house to buy, learn about the valley a little more, etc. Then, we can judge him once he rolls... If this past football season taught us anything, it's that none of us in the sports office are any good at predicting the future. However, none us know how to quit when we're ahead either, so we decided to give it another go with Baseball. So, out came the crystal balls and tea leaves... again. Here are our division and wild card picks for the 2008 MLB season. ...By Joe Becker It's a great time to be a basketball fan. First, there is the NCAA Tournament. Second, the NBA season is winding down...and getting better every week. Let's face facts, this is the best time of the season to follow the NBA. The really good teams are trying to position themselves for the Playoffs and the post season is where they step it up a notch. A week ago I went to the Blazers-Suns game as a fan. It w... By Craig Edwards What's up? Welcome to the second round. You may notice there aren't as many teams here with you. Expect that trend to continue as you get deeper into the tournament. --Got to start with Duke. I won't shed any tears for the Blue Devils. They really should have lost in the first round. However, all the credit does go to West Virginia, who played like gangbusters to pull off the upset. --You should ... |
