Bill Belichick doesn’t make many gaffes. Not many guys with three Super Bowl rings do. Belichick’s stone wall demeanor couldn’t shake off the embarrassment the football world knows he felt after Patriots didn’t convert on fourth-and-two on their own 28 yard line ...

Allen Iverson to the Knicks. It’s a hot topic around New York since he and the Memphis Grizzlies parted ways. Although Iverson wants to go to a contender, contending teams probably won’t give Iverson a look because he wants to start and will bark if he doesn’t. This ...

Normally if a Big East school beat a team that is in the lower half of the A-10 by one point we would be questioning how good that Big East school was. In this instance we are somewhat relieved that the Big East school came away with the win. That is because the team is the St. ...

I’ve been reading some free agent predictions and one of them that I’ve seen several times makes me scratch my head; Hideki Matsui to the Mariners. This makes absolutely no sense for the Mariners since they re-signed Ken Griffey. Matsui isn’t going to play the field ...

Allen Iverson and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to part ways after a short lived marriage. A.I. played in three games with the Grizzlies, all losses, and averaged 12.3 points per game. Iverson could decide to retire, but if he doesn’t, it makes sense for the Knicks to sign him ...

Jets fans were so quick to become believers after a 3-0 start that the each loss since then has hurt more and more. Even at 4-4 Jets fans still believed a playoff birth was possible. It’s over now. Jets fans won’t be disappointed for the rest of the season now that the Jets ...

The must win game against the Jaguars to start the second half of the season was lost by the Jets, 24-22. Jags kicker Josh Scobee hit a chip shot 21-yard field goal as time expired to give the Jaguars the win. This most likely puts an early end to the Jets playoff chances. The Jaguars did ...

John Lackey would fit in nicely in the Mets rotation as the number two starter right behind ace Johan Santana. Lackey is looking to sign a deal north of what AJ Burnett got from the Yankees last season; five years, $82.5 million. More so than spending over $100 million on a left fielder, ...
