Randy Miller's Interview With Ed Snider Makes it Seem Like We've Seen the Last of Ilya Bryzgalov
Of course, that's just pure speculation. But in Randy Miller's interview with Flyers owner Ed Snider (via Courier Post Online), Snider didn't exactly protect his $51 million investment, and, in fact, almost blamed the signing of Bryz on Paul Holmgren. He continues to dodge criticism that he's slowly turning into... Continue reading

Now, Chip Kelly has breathed some life into a team that was just dead in the water one... Continue reading

Roy Halladay Issues Apology to Fans
This is why we love Roy Halladay. This isn't the bull spouted by Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes of the Morning Show on SportsRadio 94 WIP.

Ronde Barber is Retiring. Good Riddance
Great player, no doubt. But still, fuck him. “You heard the argument, ‘Oh, he’s only a system guy. He can only do this,’” Barber told JP Peterson of TampaBaySportsCentral.com. “Well, in a defense that everybody started playing, I did it better than anybody else.” Video of Barber's infamous interception against...

Video: Umpires Deny Game-Tying Home Run for Oakland Athletics, Continue to Ruin Game
A few days ago, I posted my thoughts on how umpires currently in Major League Baseball have become the worst part of watching the game in recent years. Last night, they pretty much proved how terrible they are. Notorious shitty umpire, Angel Hernandez, denied a game-tying homerun for the A's... Continue reading

UPDATE: Roy Halladay to Have Surgery to Remove Bone Spur From Shoulder
Roy Halladay will talk to the press at 2pm today - and if Charlie Manuel's interview on MLB Network Radio earlier today is any indication, Halladay's career seemingly isn't in jeopardy.
