In A World of Sports

Well I’m back…hopefully on a semi-permanent basis…I haven’t posted in so long because I feel like I haven’t had the time but really I realised that it was a lame excuse for laziness. So I’m back with my first blog in a while….
 First of all I have to get this off my chest about the NHL…What […]

This has got to be one of the worst weeks in recent memory for Toronto sports franchises.  Sure the rest of the week hasn’t even played itself out, but if you count from Sunday afternoon to this coming Sunday, this should amount to a tragic week.  This is one of the darkest hours for Toronto […]

NHL - I’m getting tired of the big push for Evgeni Malkin to earn the Hart Trophy this year.  No doubt the man deserves some consideration, but I would not place him as the front runner.  I simply can’t hand out an important trophy like that based on 21 games of an 82 game schedule.  […]

The other day I wrote my first round predictions for the Eastern Conference, today I’m doing the West.  Of course I went East first because that is a far more predictable conference, there are really only 3 contenders in the East, Boston, Detroit and Lebron; The West is almost wide open.  All 8 teams that […]

Well the NBA trade deadline has left us with what will likely be the rosters teams will have going into the playoffs (with the exception of teams buying up waived or bought out players).  So with that in mind, I decided to look at the current playoff matchups and predict 1st round outcomes were the […]

So the NBA trade deadline has come and gone as of 3 p.m. today and as was fairly expected there wasn’t much action.  Most teams had made their significant moves in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the deadline, capped off yesterday by San Antonio acquiring their Shaq-insurance in the form of Kurt […]

Well it’s […]

*** Updated At Bottom
ESPN.com is reporting that trade talks between Dallas and New Jersey have heated up again after the two teams played each other in Jersey on Sunday, a game which featured only one team on the floor for most of the night (Nets won 101-82).
The report states that Dallas would be sending Devin […]

Yes, tonight’s game against the Clippers marks Toronto’s 1000th regular season game.  I’m impressed.  This team has had some serious growing pains but with a President/GM with a knack for picking talent and a solid vision for the team, I like their odds of remaining competitive for years to come.  Colangelo has built a great […]

I don’t really understand this trade. Phoenix will get Shaq for Marion and Marcus Banks. Now I know Marion has been unhappy there for a while, but most nights he’s still playing pretty good ball, though he often runs around launching his weird jumper with a really sour look on his face.
But Shaq? Is this […]
