MARCH MADNESS SWEET SIXTEEN AND ELITE EIGHT

March 25, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Obviously, the 2015 NCAA tournament has been riveting, well unless you are a fan of Iowa State, Baylor, Villanova, Virginia or a losing patience with Coach Crean, Indiana fan.  You have my condolences. With 16 schools left still with a chance at glory, who has a real shot for a ‘shining moment’, other than the unbelievable, unbeatable, and utterly unstoppable Kentucky Wildcats? However, […]

Rink Report March 24, 2015

March 25, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

As we get ever closer to the NHL Playoffs, the battle for the final few playoffs spots heats up.  Depending on the schedule, teams have between eight and ten games remaining, so they can basically be counted as playoffs games for teams like Washington, Ottawa, Boston, Florida, Minnesota, Winnipeg, Los Angeles, Dallas and Colorado.  Those are […]

QUICK THOUGHTS 3-23-15

March 23, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

NHL Jordan Eberle who plays Right Wing for the Edmonton Oilers is on a Blizzard like tear with his seven game point streak. Most recently he had an assist and placed one in the net leading the Edmonton Oilers over the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s just too bad a guy who is storming the ice like Old man […]

NL East Preview and Predictions

March 23, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Things were looking pretty good for the Nationals last year. They had the best record in the National League, locking up home field advantage throughout the NL playoffs. After dropping the first game in the NLDS against San Francisco, they held a 1-0 lead with 2 outs and no one on base in the ninth […]

Bracketology – Skill or Luck? Round 1 Update

March 21, 2015 by Mike Jacobs 1 Comment

Are you at the top of your league?  Or is your bracket busted already after Round 1? Do you live and breathe college basketball from Midnight Madness until the final day of March Madness?  Or have you recently heard that Kentucky has a pretty good team this year? Every year during the Elite 8, you […]

NBA’s Battle of the Best

March 19, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

In what might be a preview of the NBA Finals, the Hawks and the Warriors matched up in Oakland last night (March 18, 2015) sporting the two best records in the league. Each team boasted 53 wins going into the game last night but the Hawks earned bragging rights when they beat the Warriors back […]

Ready for the Kentucky Invitational?

March 18, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Technically it is still the NCAA tournament, but since the day that John Calipari arrived in Lexington he re-tooled the Kentucky program into the giant blue juggernaut that it has become. Which is much like the greatness historically achieved under coaches Adolph Rupp, Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino, and Tubby Smith. In 2010 an Elite Eight, in 2011 a […]

Oh, Canada?

March 11, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Pop quiz. When was the last time a team from Canada won the Stanley Cup? I’ll give you a moment to think long and hard about that while I throw out some weird stats. Teams from California, Florida, Texas and North Carolina have hoisted the Cup more recently than a team from north of the […]

NL West Preview and Predictions

March 10, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Last season saw a bit of both worlds in the NL West as the Dodgers had the highest payroll in the league and parlayed that into 94 wins and a divisional title and the San Francisco Giants squeaked into the playoffs as the Wild Card, then rode Madison Bumgarner’s left arm to their third World […]

NCAA Bracket Slayers

March 10, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Whether these schools I’ve listed make the NCAA tournament or the NIT tournament, they all have a chance to shred some other team’s goals like paper. If you are looking for some additional insight to boost your brackets for the office pool or score winning bets at the sports book I have a crafty list of […]

Oh No Series: March 8, 2015

March 8, 2015 by Ash Boodel Leave a Comment

A lot of people are talking about Rory McIlroy’s latest news from Doral during the WCG Cadillac Championship. On the 8th hole during his second shot which would just skim the right side of the pond to the left, he pulled his 222 yard shot to the green and came up short in the drink. […]

Smart Choice Randall Cobb

March 8, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

I sigh of relief was heard from the Great Lakes after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported today Randall Cobb and the Green Bay Packers agreed to a 4 year $40 million deal, keeping the power trio of him, Aaron Rodgers, and Jordy Nelson on the field together through at least 2018.  A great career move by […]

NCAA Coaches with Toasty Seats

March 6, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Travis Ford – Oklahoma State (Big-12) With a program that has fine history and great squads under Coaches Henry Iba and later on Eddie Sutton and in a conference where Kansas seems to win the league every year, fans are not happy with the hardwood results. The Cowboys of Oklahoma State have dropped four straight. Coach Ford’s […]

Road to Indianapolis: Pac-12

March 4, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

The Pac-12 season started off with the potential to build upon last season where half of the teams made the NCAA tournament (all with a 10 seed or better), but this season hasn’t gone exactly to plan where it is conceivable, however unlikely, that they will only get 2 teams to the big dance. Let’s […]

The Oh No Series: March 3, 2015

March 3, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Two seasons removed from winning 57 games under George Karl, the Denver Nuggets missed the playoffs last year and have won only 20 games so far this year. It is all coming to a head as they were in fire sale mode at the trade deadline, which was followed by a report that had the […]
