Kentucky and Kansas face off in a heavyweight matchup for all the marbles today. So who will win? Kentucky is the obvious favorite. Kentucky has, in my opinion, the top two players in Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, as well as likely three other first round picks, in the NBA Draft in June. Yet with all that top talent, who, by the way, are freshman and sophomores, Kentucky plays as unselfish...

Trading For Tim Tebow a Big Mistake by New York Jets

Finally its official. The New York Jets have traded its 4th and 6th round draft picks to the Denver Broncos for Tim Tebow and a 7th round pick. If you’re a first time reader let me preface this piece by saying I don’t think Tebow is a very good quarterback. With that said, I actually would have been in favor of a team such as the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have a very small chance of making...

With Peyton Manning, Are the Broncos Super Bowl Favorites?

As everyone already knows, Peyton Manning has chosen the Denver Broncos as the team he will play for next year. I stand firm in my belief that Denver was not the right choice for Peyton. The strength of the Broncos defense has been vastly overblown, as they were 18th in passing years allowed and 22nd in rushing yards allowed last year. As for their running game, while I like Willis McGahee, he’s 31,...

What Happens To Tim Tebow?

Peyton Manning‘s arrival to Denver means Tim Tebow‘s exit. According to ESPN, the Broncos have already begun shopping the former Florida standout. Some have suggested the Broncos shouldn’t trade Tebow, but keep him and let him learn behind Manning, a future first ballot Hall of Famer. I disagree. This is the perfect time for the Broncos to rid themselves of TebowMania. Without facing a...

Which Team Should Peyton Manning Choose?

Deservedly so, Peyton Manning has many options when it comes to where he will play next year. On Wednesday, the day he was released by the Indianapolis Colts, reportedly 12 teams called Manning’s representatives to express interest in signing him. That’s more than a third of the teams in the NFL. For a 36 year old with three neck surgeries under his belt, Manning is in good shape. So which...

Colts To Release Peyton Manning

ESPN’s Chris Mortenesen reported today the Indianpolis Colts will release Peyton Manning on Wednesday. With Manning due a $28 million roster bonus, this decision was expected. Still, the release of Manning is a complete game-changer. Into the free agency pool will go a 4 time MVP, 11 time Pro-Bowler, and Super Bowl winning QB. While many have expressed concern regarding Peyton’s ability to...

New MLB Playoff System Has Serious Flaws

While some are excited about the new MLB playoff system, I am not. If you don’t know, the plan calls for a one game playoff between two wild-card teams in each league, with the winners moving on to the Division Series. I liked the old MLB playoff system because fewer teams made it compared to other sports leagues. While i know the new system only adds two teams, it’s still a big deal....
