"Game Seven." There is something magical but terrifying about those words placed side by side, something final but not without hope. It is the epitome of why the players play, why the fans watch and why lifting a 35-pound shiny trophy at the end of the year is so damn therapeutic.The words of the eloquent Mike Lange cannot capture the notion any better, "I'll meet you in the schoolyard baby for

Oh the Rats. Each one hitting the ice was another slap to your proverbial ego. Nothing was quite as demoralizing to watch as Tom Barasso seeking cover along with the linesmen in the goal net, as a black monsoon of plastic rats hit the ice in 1996. As this series with the Canadiens moves along flashes of that 1996 Panthers-Penguins ECF keep haunting my dreams.Mike Cammalleri makes his best Tom

Hang a banner in Philly we had a night without fan incident.So sick of the LeBron James elbow. I had a problem with the injury when it first reared it's ugly head in the clinching game of the first round series with the Bulls. If you have to resort to shooting important free throws with your off hand in the closing minutes, shouldn't you have checked yourself out when the other team is

We are not going to get into another Ovechkin vs. Crosby comparison, if you want that go here, here and here. All in all the debate doesn't matter, and even the most irrational Caps fan can attest to who is coming out on top in the only column that truly matters, the win column.It seems that a lot of the fallout from the Montreal debacle has been be laid on Semin, Green, Fleischmann, the two

After the Titans beat the Bills Sunday owner Bud Adams was seen flipping off the Buffalo team. Funny thing was, he was sitting next to Commissioner Goodell for most of the game. Can't wait to see the fine he gets for this. Pretty funny.

Kobe Bryant is one of the best players ever. I understand this. So last Friday when Stephen Jackson's defensive assignment was Kobe you knew it was going to be a battle.

The two time all-star will be re-evaluated next week after swelling goes down.

Linebacker Robert Henson sounded off on his Twitter yesterday, letting his fans know his thoughts on the parade of "boos" at FedEx field he heard."All you fake half hearted Skins fan can .. I won't go there but I dislike you very strongly, don't come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!!

According to John Clayton and Tim Graham of ESPN, the Buffalo Bills have fired OC Turk Schonert. The Bills have not scored in the first quarter of FIVE preseason games. This makes Schonert the 3rd offensive coordinator fired in the past week or so.My guess? T.O. had a temper tantrum. Just a thought.Source: Bills fire O-boss Schonert (ESPN)

Mike Florio of PFT got a hot tip (read: press release) that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski.If you recall, Jagodzinski left the head coaching position at Boston College this past offseason to pursue a career in the NFL. He was later hired by the Tampa Bay Buccos to run their offense. Yet, just like Chan Gailey last week, a team has decided that the

The Jacksonville Jaguars have come out and said that all 8 of their regular season home games this year are in danger of not selling out. This problem is mainly explained by the severely struggling home market in the surrounding areas of the team. In the NFL the television rule is that if a game is not sold out within 72 hours of the kickoff it is subject to blackout on all local affiliates

NFLShop.com has released reports on their best jersey sales for the period of April 1 through August 28. For the second year in a row, Brett Favre is on top at #1.

Wow. What a pun to start this off. Sorry.NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL have ruled today that Jerry Jones can keep his impressive video boards at the level they are - for now. Goodell has clarified that any punts that hit off of the video board will result in a "do over" of the play. The clock will be reset to the original time and penalties are wiped out (excluding personal fouls).

Mike Florio and PFT are reporting that a "faction" of players on the Vikings would rather see Tarvaris Jackson start in place of You-Know-Who.These players, whom have yet to be identified, believe that Jackson is a better option at QB than Favre and his out-dated arm.

With Billy Wagner joined the Red Sox Thursday something tells me that he won't be too successful. Not only is he coming back from Tommy John, but ESPN helps to point out something in this graphic that could be a huge problem at Fenway.Now we will just have to see if Pablebon can quit complaining about each other and get some outs so they don't choke away this season.

When we wrote the story a few days ago about teen phenom Bryce Harper we got a comment calling him a douche. That loyal reader may have been right on the money about him, or maybe just about his parents. The 16 year old will be skipping his junior and senior years at high school to attend a community college in his home state of Nevada. His father cites his need for a challenge as the main

When most people talk about Joe Mauer they understand he is one of the best catchers to play in recent memory. In his 6 years in the bigs he already has two batting titles. His career batting average is .322 and has only 250 strikeouts. Last year he was an All-Star, Silver Slugger, won a Golden Glove, and was 4th in the AL MVP voting. Still, with all these credentials I dont think he gets the

Is none of the above not an option?It's always fun to look back at mistakes people have made in sports over the years. This Sports Illustrated cover from 2006 is extremely interesting to look at. Adam Morrison's per game career averages (23.4 min, 2.4 reb, 1.6 ast, 8.7 pts) barely outweigh Redick's (14.4 min, 1.3 reb, 0.9 ast, 5.5 pts). I remember thinking that Morrison would be better but i

The Pittsburgh Penguins took games 3 and 4 at home in Mellon Arena in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Randy Johnson collected win number 300 just a couple of minutes ago against the Nationals(maybe it shouldn't count as a win). This is a tribute to one of the greatest pitchers of all time. In his prime his slider was simply un-hittable. Sure he's played for many teams and had some confrontations with media but he is a great baseball player and should be honored and treated as so. Plus, who else

With talk of Stephen Strasburg still filling baseball fan's mouths, it is hard to justify another amateur phenom. But from what I have read, Mr. Harper is exactly that. Bryce Harper, a 6' 3", 205 lb, 16-year old catcher will grace the newest version of Sports Illustrated. People are saying this left handed hitter is can't miss talent.He has already hit the longest home run on record in Tropicana

Little known minor league player Justin Mallet has been suspended 100 games by the MLB for a failed drug test.This is Mallet's second suspension as he was suspended for 50 games in 2006. This makes a problem look much worse showing that some players really just do not care and not even a huge suspension will get in their way of cheating.Maybe a struggling minor leaguer like Mallet simply thinks

After the fight of Giuseppe Lauri and Juho Toppola things really got interesting. After the 10th round the fighters were broken up but Toppola got a cheap shot off. This was after he was penalized for a head butt earlier in the fight. This was apparently the last straw and he was disqualified from the fight. So what happens next? His dad rushed the ref and got a couple swings in before being

One of the lesser known events in the sporting world these days is the Major League Baseball Draft. For the most part, few actually know who gets drafted where, their upsides, downsides and the intangibles that the players have. Comparing the MLB Draft to the NFL Draft is like comparing apples to elephants, that's how underexposed it truly is. I recently sat down with Mr. eXpert to go over

Once defensive dominator and possibly the best un-drafted player ever, Ben Wallace is contemplating retiring. The 13-year veteran has one more year on his deal which will make him an additional 14 million notes next year.

It looks as though the sane baseball fans have finally let their voice be heard. Manny Ramirez has dropped to 5th in the All-star voting for outfielders as more deserving Raul Ibanez has slipped into 2nd moving Beltran and Soriano to 3rd and 4th. Even Mike Cameron is only 100,000 votes back of Man-Ram. I don't know if it was Torre saying he shouldn't play or people just not being so stupid but

Everyone just needs to realize that they aren't as good as Lebron. No one will every be as important or mean as much to an organization as Lebron means to the NBA. He's an angel on earth and everyone should worship him.Ok, really the stunt he pulled this weekend really pissed me off. Not only did he blow off the Magic and not shake their hands or congratulate them but, he blew off a mandatory

Apparently Barkley has a long time feud with his producer for him always lecturing Charles about speaking inappropriately on air. He says its ok at night when kids are asleep but early in the show he can't. Well on the last postgame show of the year the round mound of rebound decides to get back at him. Take a look....pretty funny.

He's young and already one of the top few players in the league. I have no quarrel with Lebron. Do I love him and his game, his intensity, passion and ability? No. But I don't dislike him. He's good
