The Flyers have made the most noise in the NHL this offseason, trading two of their biggest stars so they can sign a quality goaltender who still has some good years left...
With the NBA and NHL seasons over and the major league baseball season almost halfway through, here are some thoughts.
The Miami Heat have three great players, but they lost to a better TEAM...
Someone posed this question to me this evening: "Are there really any noteworthy players who have been picked after the 32nd round of the Major League Baseball Draft?"
First of all, some of this is misleading because often times later-selected players turn out to be high school players who reject the signing and go onto college...
I've raised this issue before and am more convinced than ever that we aren't going to see much change in the Phillies offense over the course of the season...
Shaquille O'Neal announced his retirement after 19 years this afternoon via Twitter.
In this era of athletes wanting to avoid the media and "speak directly" to their fans, clearly O'Neal is the biggest name to go the digital route to say goodbye...
I had a chance to take in my first ballpark at Nationals Park in Washington on Memorial Day against the Phillies.
I went with my wife, brother and sister-in-law, heading in to the park by way of the Metro...

I know some commentators think Tiger Woods is thiiiiis close to being back. I don't think so and, frankly, I hope I'm right.

Manny Ramirez has retired rather than face a 100 game suspension for a 2nd drug violation (technically its his third...he was also mentioned in a 2003 report)...
The NCAA tournament, rich with thrills, upsets and exciting endings, came to a very unsatisfactory conclusion Monday night. It's not that UConn won, although I certainly was rooting for Butler...
I still think Jay Bilas and Dickie V made moronic comments when they said VCU was unworthy of being included. I thought so when they said it and it is even more obvious now...
What would your best friend do for you?
Would they check on your dog if you were on vacation? Would they go bungee jumping with you? Would they go to prison to keep you out yourself?
Barry Bonds apparently has that last type of friend in, trainer Greg Anderson, who has agreed to go to jail twice instead of testifying against Bonds, including this week for Bonds' perjury trial...
I'm waiting...waiting for apologies from Jay Bilas and Dick Vitale.
