ESPN says the Giants are currently the No. 6 seed because of a better record versus common opponents. But the common opponents are Philly, Seattle, New Orleans and Chicago. With a Packers win over the Bears, both teams would be 1-4 against common opponents. In that case the teams would go to the...

One of the only things I look forward to on Sportscenter each year is the end of the year top 10 games special. There were a number of classic games staged during the year and I think it's tough to come up with 10. Anyway here's what I think the criteria should be for picking the list. 1. The...

I second on Larry Johnson -- I thought he was slow as can be coming out of Penn State and would be out of the league at this point. On the other end, I thought the Redskins built a dynasty after drafting Desmond Howard, saw Erik Barkley in high school and thought he'd be one of the best point...

I've noticed a growing trend recently for tv and radio play by play, color commentators, sideline reporters and coaches to use the word "obviously" superflously. It's getting out of control to the point where the word is uttered three to four times in a 30 second span -- and that's when they're...

I was playing in a $50 NL tourney on bodog on Saturday, about half the field was eliminated and I had 2,500 in chips which was in the middle of the field. Anyway with blinds of 50 and 100 I called with pocket Ks and then called a small raise from the big blind. The flop came 678 rainbow....big...

I saw on pokerwire.com that Negreanu is down to 55k. He started the day with 300k or so and was in the top 10. Now he's around 125th place and treading water. Does anyone know if that's a misprint? If not that's a massive collapse. Whatever I guess you have to try to make a move at some point in...

The NFL does a better job of ensuring competitive balance because of a hard cap but it doesn't mean the quality of play in the league is better than MLB. Think of the NFL teams pre salary cap in the late 80s and early 90s. Those 49ers and Cowboys squads would have destroyed last year's Steelers...

The Reebok Big Time would be good for any small paper who would like a feature done on a player in their coverage area but doesn't want to send a staffer to vegas. Sorry Shameless Bump

Las Vegas area stringer available for feature or game coverage at the Toshiba Vegas NBA Summer League from July 6 to July 14, USA Men's Basketball Training Camp from July 19 to July 25 and exhibition against Puerto Rico on August 3, the Reebok Big Time HS Basketball Tournament the week of July...

The Argentina-Germany match is the most anticipated world cup match since the '98 final between France and Brazil. I'd like to see Pekerman grow some Plus 10's and start Messi and Tevez. But it won't happen and the star tandem won't see the field until at least the 70th minute. At that point I...

Because in '02 the United States were lucky to move onto the second round after an awful performance against Poland only to qualify because Korea beat Portugal. We also drew an average Mexico team in the second round so it was said by many soccer experts that the US could actually play much...

I can't believe there hasn't been a more positive response towards the United States play yesterday especially considering all the criticism on Monday. The US dominated a team expected by many to make it to the final game for the first 20 minutes of the game and would have won the game had...
