The Golden Toe

Love hate relationships correlate with NFL Placekickers. Make or miss, they never know if they are going to be kissed or killed.
In the Oakland Raiders case, they decided to form a marriage with kicker Sebastian Janikowski. Instead of an extravagant ring Janikowski received a hefty four-year, $16 million contract with $9 million guaranteed making him [...]



After Close ACC Finish, Georgia Tech Is Headed to the Orange Bowl

Dec 8th, 2009 | By Raphael Garcia | Category: College Football

Winning a 39-34 thriller over Atlantic champs Clemson, the Yellow Jackets are enjoying their first conference title in 19 years and their first BCS bid in school history. This game was perhaps a little too close for comfort, as Georgia Tech just simply didn’t have an answer for versatile phenomenon CJ Spiller. Receiving the ACC [...]



Giants Play Like Turkeys In Thanksgiving Night Loss In Denver

Nov 28th, 2009 | By Jon Wagner | Category: New York Giants, Top Story

The New York Giants traveled to Denver feeling appropriately thankful on Thanksgiving.
How could they not, after finally ending a four-game losing streak with an overtime win over Atlanta last week and licking their chops, thinking of feasting on a Denver Broncos team that was on a bad four-game slide of its own?
After an embarrassing 26-6 [...]



ACC Wrap Up Week 10

Nov 12th, 2009 | By Raphael Garcia | Category: College Football

VIRGINIA TECH – 16 EAST CAROLINA – 3
Killing drives and calling back touchdowns, penalties and turnovers killed the Pirates in this one. Due to a solid performance by the East Carolina defense, the game was never out of reach. Yet, a touchdown called back because of holding and a fumbled ball going out the back of [...]



ACC Week 9

Nov 7th, 2009 | By Raphael Garcia | Category: College Football

NORTH CAROLINA – 20 VIRGINIA TECH – 17
Virginia Tech came into this game as heavy favorites, but left as just another inconsistent team in the ACC. Big names such as Tyrod Taylor fooled fans into believing it would be a high scoring affair. However, early on, it proved otherwise. Holding Taylor to only 161 yards [...]



Knicks Still Looking for First Win

Nov 2nd, 2009 | By Jon Wagner | Category: New York Knicks, Top Story

NEW YORK – It was supposed to be the one game among the trio of New York-Philadelphia matchups this weekend which wouldn’t be that big of a deal. Instead, with the Yankees meeting the Phillies in Game 3 of a tied World Series, and the Giants set to visit the Eagles the following [...]



SEC Week 7

Oct 21st, 2009 | By Raphael Garcia | Category: College Football

(1)    Florida 23 Arkansas 20
It was supposed to be easy when you looked at this game at the beginning of the season, but the Hogs had other plans. They were the first team to score first on the Gators this year. They sacked AT&Tebow six times and forced four Florida turnovers. For the first time [...]



ACC Wrapup Week 5

Oct 7th, 2009 | By Raphael Garcia | Category: College Football

VIRGINIA TECH – 34 DUKE – 26
Coming within 10 points, the Blue Devils nearly pulled off the upset vs. #5 Virginia Tech this weekend. However, Duke couldn’t convert red-zone possessions into touchdowns and had to settle for field goals more often than not. I think this game showed the Hokies true colors and despite the [...]



SEC Recap

Sep 30th, 2009 | By Raphael Garcia | Category: College Football, Top Story

In this day and age of the BCS the one thing you can count on is that the preseason rankings mean nothing. When this season began a team like Ole Miss was in the mix for a top 10 ranking. They were one of the teams to watch for. Well somebody forgot to tell the [...]



Giants Season Comes to an End with 23-11 Loss

Jan 11th, 2009 | By Joe Pietaro | Category: New York Giants, Today's News

The New England Patriots don’t have to worry about the Giants this time going after one of their accomplishments. The last team to repeat as Super Bowl champions will have their consecutive titles from 2005 and 2006 stand at least for one more season following an upset 23-11 win by the Philadelphia Eagles in an [...]
