By John ⋅ February 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week by, and the All-Star starters are already in place. Only one, Carmelo Anthony, isn’t from a currently seeded team, so it should be a good game.

We’re in the All Star break, and it’s still a tough time for many teams. There are close races abound, at both ends of the seeding. Just about the only thing well-entrenched is Columbus at the bottom of the NHL by a whopping nine points. There’s a lot a time off for everyone to re-energize [...]

2012 NFL Playoffs Expert Picks: Conference Championship Results

By John ⋅ January 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Super Bowl is now set. It’s a rematch of four years ago in the Patriots and Giants.

We’ll see in two weeks. [...]

By John ⋅ January 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week in, and there are some noticeable changes. The East has a new leader. The Heat are collapsing.
