Canada and the U.S.A. Renew Hockey Rivalry for Gold

Both countries will be playing for gold for somewhat different reasons when the two teams take to the ice tomorrow at 3:15 p.m. Eastern Time. Only one will come out victorious. Clearly, it will be Canada.

Does Collison Spell End for Paul in New Orleans?

Last summer there was speculation that Chris Paul could be traded from the Hornets for financial reasons, and Paul himself lent some credence to the idea that he might be dealt.  One year later the Hornets are still losing money, but this time they also have a rookie point guard that is playing like a star.  Will Darren Collison's emergence mean the end of Paul's time in New Orleans?

Yankees Will Shell Out for Jeter in 2011

Derek Jeter's 10-Year $189 million contract signed in 2001 is up after this year. He wisely isn't sweating it publicly and is affirming his strong desire to remain a Yankee for his entire career. I'd be surprised if that didn't happen.

NHL Trade Deadline Looms

National Hockey League trade deadline day has become an unofficial holiday in Canada, a day when fans are tempted to call in sick, then come to their senses and go to work only to leave an extra browser window open the entire day just to check out if a deal may have happened. Those that don’t come to their senses and are found out by their bosses? A pat on the back the next morning, and a gentle “don’t let it happen again”. Why? Because it’s trade deadline day. Everyone gets into the trade-deadline-day spirit in Canada! And, as of this Wednesday, it's only one week away!

Why I'm Rooting For Tim Tebow

I'm rooting for Tim Tebow to succeed in the NFL. No, it's not because I'm a Florida fan. Nor is it because I'm a fan of his politics. I'm rooting for the NFL to embrace something different than the status quo.

What Does Morey Know?

Lots of observers are surprised Daryl Morey was willing to trade Carl Landry. I'm wondering what he knows that we don't.

In light of tonight’s much-anticipated match-up that pits Canada against the United States of America (7:40 p.m. Eastern Time), a potential gold-medal-game preview, I believe it only fitting to reveal my choices for the two sides to play in what would be my dream final of this Olympic Games tournament.

The Last Olympics with NHL Players?

There’s little guarantee that, come the next Winter Olympiad in Russia in 2014, National Hockey League players will participate. That is because there is no agreement currently in place between the league and the National Hockey League Players’ Association for the event, and a decision is still pending. But letting the players go to Russia really can’t do any more damage that’s already been done.

Interesting Spring Performances, Part One: The NL
As spring training ambles nonchalantly towards the finish line, it's always fun to take a look at spring stats to see who really jumps off the page and might be making some kind of statement or other...
My AL Tout Wars team
We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:
My NFBC Recap
I have never been one to hold up to peer pressure well. Since Peter, Jeff, and Chris did a NFBC challenge, I had to join the cool kids and do one too.

My "Beat Peter Schoenke" Draft Results.
