The reigning AL MVP and Triple Crown winner, Miguel Cabrera has had an awesome start to the 2013 season. He has a .391 average, 14 homeruns and 55 RBI. If he keeps this up, he could be on his way to another Triple Crown. I came across this amazing GIF of Cabrera hitting 6 homeruns at the same time. It is similar to the Yu Darvish one I wrote about a while back.
Even though she dating New York Islanders tough guy, Matt Martin, she’ll always be Boomer Esiason’s daughter. The Boston College junior is kinda hot. Thanks to a tip from a friend of mine and the internet, we found a few photos of this week’s Total Sports Babe. Check out some pictures of Sydney, who seems to be your typical coed (except for having an NFL legend for a father and a professional hockey player for a fiancée):
San Francisco 49ers’ Wide Receiver Michael Crabtree went down with a torn Achilles tendon on Tuesday. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said that the injury occured in 7-on-7 drills, “He was coming in motion, just planted, started a route and felt like somebody kicked him in Achilles,” Harbaugh said. Obviously, this is a big loss for the 49ers, as Crabtree had a great rapport with quarterback Colin Kaepernick down the stretch last season and appeared to be headed towards a breakout season. Somebody will have to step up and produce for the 49ers, who could that be?
1. Cleveland Cavaliers: Nerlens Noel
College: Kentucky/Age: 19/HT: 6’11″/WT: 205 lbs/POS: C
Otto Porter is the perfect fit here for Cleveland, but I doubt they’d pull the trigger on him with the first overall pick. Even with his injury concerns, Noel would be a nice fit with this Cavs team. Pair him up with Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson and you have a very nice young front line to go with Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters.
2. Orlando Magic: Trey Burke
College: Michigan/Age: 20/HT: 6’1″/WT: 190 lbs/POS: PG
Orlando needs a star, but there is a serious lack of star power in this year’s draft class. Burke is the one prospect whom everyone thinks is guaranteed to turn into a very solid NBA player. Burke is a great leader, and could potentially be the ring leader for the young Magic core or Tobias Harris, Nikola Vuvecic, and Mo Harkless.
Roger Goodell and the NFL are once again contemplating the idea of expanding the NFL season to 18 games.
Here’s what Goodell said Tuesday morning at the NFL’s spring owners meetings in Boston.
“I hear from fans consistently that they want to make every NFL event more valuable. They see the preseason as being less valuable to them because they don’t see the best players and the games do not count. We have to address that, whether we are looking at 18 [regular-season games] and two [preseason games] or 16-and-two and expanded playoffs.”
But the thing is, the NFL is already a great product. It doesn’t need to be tinkered with or changed.
It was the joke that went too far. Before Sergio Garcia’s racial comment, the media battle between Tiger Woods and Garcia was almost comical. They were going back and forth taking shots at each other. Woods called Garcia a whiner and Garcia responded by telling the media, “That’s probably right,” and he went on to say “It’s also probably the first thing he’s (Woods) told you guys that’s true in 15 years. I know what he is like. You guys are finding out.” Now while those comments were a little harsh, it still remained a silly argument. Read the rest of this entry »
The New York Knicks 2012-2013 campaign was the best season the team has had in the past 13 years.
This year was the first time the Knicks had won a playoff series since the 1999-2000 season.
It was the first time the Knicks had won the Atlantic Division since the year I was born, 1993.
Carmelo Anthony finished third in the MVP voting. J.R. Smith won the NBA’s 6thMan of Year Award. Tyson Chandler was named to the NBA’s All Defensive First Team.
But I’m here to tell you that this Knicks team is a lost cause.
Let’s start off with their roster. Almost all of the Knicks that received serious playing time this year are still under contract for next season. Read the rest of this entry »

Eastern Conference
#1 Pittsburgh Penguins vs #7 Ottawa Senators
The Penguins did what they were supposed to do on home ice. Sidney Crosby scored a hat trick in game two to give the Pens a 2-0 lead in the series. The flightless birds were about to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on the Sens when THIS HAPPENED!!!… Read the rest of this entry »
