Matt Cooke suspended 10 games plus playoffs
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Injuries, NHL, Playoffs,
Matt Cooke is relentless. He seems to have a vampiric lust for brains and will stop at nothing to see them oozing out of his opponent’s ears after delivering a vicious head shot. His latest infraction came on Sunday when he laid out New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh with his elbow, effectively challenging NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell to either start a new chapter in punishment for the kind of hits nobody wants to see, or let history repeat itself by doling out a meaningless penalty.

James Reimer’s Leafs making late postseason push
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, NHL, Playoffs,
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the best position they’ve seen in years, and they’re still not in a playoff spot. They currently hold the 10th-seed in the Eastern Conference and realistically, are only chasing the Sabres, Rangers and Hurricanes. Maybe it’s because the Leafs haven’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967, or maybe it’s because the team hasn’t even made the playoffs since before the lockout, but fans in Toronto have been going nuts (more than usual) after every win lately. After Monday night’s loss, the Leafs are six back of the eight spot.

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Editorial, NBA, News, Playoffs,
Chris and DV talk about all of the hulabaloo and alleged tears being shed down in South Beach with the Miam Heat. Was head coach Erik Spoelstra in the right to talk to the media about certain members of the team crying? Chris and DV also talk about the Heat's chances to go far in the playoffs and whom they may have trouble with (see: Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls). Aside from LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, who else can step up for the Heat? Chris and DV also touch on who will come out of the Western Conference. In any case, it's been a while since the podcasting duo did a show for you all, but the boys are back and should be so on the regular moving forward!

Kendrick Perkins traded away from the Boston Celtics: Good or Bad?
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, NBA, News, Playoffs, Trades,
The Boston Celtics traded Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic, as well as a first round pick in 2012 that belonged to the Los Angeles Clippers. Is this move by the Celtics beneficial or detrimental? Perkins was an integral part of the Celtics' recent runs in the playoffs that saw them reach the NBA Finals in two of the past three seasons, including one NBA title. In fact, many think that if he hadn't gotten hurt during last year's NBA Finals, the outcome would have been different where the Celtics defeat the Los Angeles Lakers.

NFL fans sue the NFL, Dallas Cowboys, and Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: News, NFL, Playoffs,
NFL fans, particularly what I would think are Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers fans that were jilted out of their seats at Super Bowl XLV are now suing the NFL, Dallas Cowboys, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The beef is because about 400 seats were not installed, inspected, and approved before the big game despite knowing well in advance that this was the case. The NFL has offered paying $2400 and offering tickets to next year's Super Bowl. However, what if their team doesn't make it back? Another option has been offered, but what it comes down to are fans not being able to be in the moment supporting their team at the pinnacle of NFL status. I don't blame these people one bit.

Green Bay Packers win Super Bowl XLV
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Championship, Super Bowl, Kudos, News, NFL, Playoffs,
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 to win Super Bowl XLV. The Packers went into halftime with a 21-10 lead after the Steelers scored a touchdown just before the end of the second quarter. It looked like the Steelers had all of the momentum heading into the second half. However, despite outscoring the Packers after the half, the Steelers couldn't make enough of a comeback to win. If they had, they would have owned the record to come back from the biggest deficit (18 points) in the Super Bowl. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was the Super Bowl MVP after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns without any interceptions, but was also great all postseason, leading the sixth-seeded Packers through three rounds before taking the team to the promised land. Rodgers now has as many Super Bowl victories as former Packers QB Brett Favre, but in addition has something Favre doesn't - Rodgers has the Super Bowl MVP.

New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte to retire
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Kudos, MLB, News, Playoffs,
New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte will be hanging up his glove and will retire, ending what has to be one of the better MLB careers a player could have. Pettitte won five World Series rings (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009) with the Yankees and is MLB all-time postseason winningest pitcher with 19 wins. He finished with a 240-138 record and 3.88 ERA in sixteen seasons, three with the Houston Astros and 13 with the Bronx Bombers. His candidacy for the Hall of Fame will be contentious as he did not win the magical benchmark of 300 wins, but 240 victories and an under 4.00 ERA in the Modern Era, as well as the rings and playoff wins, will make the voting close. However, that's all in the past and it's time for Pettitte to work on his future.

Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the New York Jets in the AFC Conference championship game
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Championship, News, NFL, Playoffs,
The Pittsburgh Steelers put up 24 quick points, heading into halftime versus the New York Jets with a 24-3 lead. However, the Steelers didn't score one point in the second-half, but the Jets only scored 16 more points, leaving the Steelers with a 24-19 AFC Conference championship victory, earning the right to play for yet another Super Bowl ring. Currently, the Steelers have the most NFL titles in history with six and could add another in two weeks should they defeat the Green Bay Packers.

Green Bay Packers defeat the Chicago Bears and are now Super Bowl bound
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Championship, News, NFL, Playoffs,
The Green Bay Packers went into Soldier Field to play the Chicago Bears and came out the victors in one of sports' greatest rivalries. It was the 182nd meeting between the two NFC North teams and it was a match-up as good as it was going to get - a game that determined who would go to the Super Bowl. In the end, it was the Packers with a 21-14 win, led by Aaron Rodgers and the much ballyhooed Packers defense led by Clay Matthews and a B.J. Raji interception run back for a touchdown. The Packers will meet the Pittsburgh Steelers for the right to be called Super Bowl champions.
