Waiting For… Cleveland’s First-Rounders - (USA)
Earlier today, we discussed the reported agreement between Christian Eyenga and DKV Joventut. And while the three sports are arguably different in terms of rookie signing structure, Eyenga is the most recent of the Cleveland draft picks. The Browns’ first-rounder (Alex Mack) and the Indians’ first-rounder (Alex White) remain unsigned.The Browns start camp in nine days, with rookies set to report this Friday. The team has inked their sixth-round picks, as well as fourth-rounder Kaluka Maiava.

SG Review: Blood Bowl (PC) - (USA)
Have you ever kept yourself up at night, unable to sleep, wondering what American Football (yes, I DO require the “American” prefix), would be like if it were played by fantasy races in an inconceivably brutal manner? Well wonder no more! As Cyanide Studios have been generous enough to create a video game based on that very principle. There’s an SG Review coming your way, after the touchdown! In 2004, Cyanide Studios (formed by 8 ex-Ubisoft employees in 2000), released a PC game by the

Where is Anwar’s shadow cabinet? - (USA)
SINCE the 8 March elections, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been dubbed a prime minister-in-waiting by many. This never happened with Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Lim Kit Siang, Datuk Fadzil Noor, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, or Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah. Such recognition shows how far Malaysia has come in readying for an end to Umno's 53-year rule.However, if Anwar is a prime minister-in-waiting, where are his ministers-in-waiting? He can't rule the country by himself, right? He needs not only the num

Best Draft Belongs To New England? - (USA)
Should the end of the title be a question mark or an exclamation point? Many draft pundits including one on Fox sports believes that the New England Patriots were the best team in the 2009 NFL Draft . In fact, some have gone so far to say that the team improved by so much that only LB is left as a need and that the team should easily compete for another Super Bowl run next season and is set for years to come after that. Beleive what you want, think what you want, but I really don’t see muc

Chicago Bears 2009 Preview - (USA)
So the Chicago Bears finally did it. They finally broke down and got a franchise quarterback. After starting 37 different signalcallers over the last 171 games, and sending just one quarterback in the last 44 years to the Pro Bowl, the Bears shipped a bounty of goods to Denver in exchange for 26-year-old Jay Cutler . The price was steep, no doubt (quarterback Kyle Orton, two first-round picks and a third-rounder). But no one will remember the price in five years. The Windy City is

Patriots Select OT Vollmer With Fourth Pick of Day - (USA)
The Patriots fourth pick of the first day of the draft, all second rounders, is the Houston Offensive Tackle Sebastian Vollmer. The headline numbers on Vollmer are 6'8? and 290 pounds; the man is huge and may help fortify Tom Brady’s pocket for years to come. Vollmer is the first offensive player of the four selections the Patriots had on day one. He is German born and a project, perhaps taken a bit higher than expected. However, Belichick and Company have a proven track record of taking guys wi

Stylin’ On Ya - (USA)
by Tzvi Twersky In last Thursday’s NBA Draft, UNC had three players taken in the first round; Louisville saw two players selected; UCLA, USC and Wake Forest each also had a pair of first rounders. Only one other entity had at least that many players chosen in the first round. With a minimum of 12 of its clients hearing their names announced by David Stern, the under-the-radar designer clothier, élevée , was the real winner on draft night.

2008 NFL Review – Week 10 - (USA)
Jump to Comments (Philadelphia, Pa) — As we move closer to the NFL weeks that I like to call the “Championship Rounds” (late November and December), the 2007 NFL Season still is one of the wackiest ones that I have ever seen. Teams that used to be doormats are now contenders (Falcons, Dolphins, Cardinals, Jets, and Ravens) while perennial playoff powers (Chargers, Colts, Cowboys, and Eagles) are clawing each and every week to stay in the hunt for one of the 12 coveted playoff berths.

Knicks’ trade a doozy - (USA)
It wasn’t like the New York Knicks were in first place Friday when they decided to trade away their two leading scorers. On the contrary, the Knicks haven’t been to the playoffs since 2004, and new team president Donnie Walsh has his hands full trying to dig out from the wreckage of the Isiah Thomas regime. Friday’s trades sent Zach Randolph to the Los Angeles Clippers and Jamal Crawford to the Golden State Warriors for three players with contracts that expire in 2010, creating salary cap spa

Shallow Thoughts & Nearsighted Observations - (USA)
Happy Tuesday to all MHR community members. I've been absent for a few weeks, mostly due to craziness in my day job, but at least partially due to a lack of awe-inspiring topics to write about. This is the worst part of the football year, where nothing is going on. Today, we'll talk about the other teams the Broncos play this season, including AFC second-place teams and the AFC West, and time permitting, I kind of feel like beating up on some MSM writing. We shall see how far I am able

Hockey Notes - 11/25 - (USA)
- This is a classic youtube video of HC Kladno "golman" Miroslav Kopriva charging out of the crease to stuff a penalty shot by Sparta left wing Petr Ton in the Czech Extraliga. After stacking his pads above the faceoff circles to make the save, he throws off his helmet, pulls his own undershirt over his head, and slams his goalie stick back and forth on the ice. There are goaltenders who make a save with flair and style, and then there is Miroslav Kopriva. Blue collar Kladno is struggling t

50 Things about Ashes Series 2009 - (USA)
Ashes 2009 series has started today with the first test being undergone at Cardiff. Both teams are gearing up to win the series with England looking to retain the title and Australia looking to defend it. Ashes is a traditional test series which was first started in 1882-83. In fact, Ashes is perhaps the most popular test series in cricket; not only because of its tradition; but also for the intensity of competitiveness that both England and Australia put together whenever they face each other.

Athletes First Leads All Agencies In Number Of Clients Selected - (USA)
Neil Stratton runs an excellent web site, InsideTheLeague.com. Daily, Neil discusses the latest agent/player rumors in the NFL. Also, right around NFL draft time, Neil provides solid information regarding what players are signed with which agencies. Recently, he put together a list of agencies ranked by how many of their clients were drafted in April. Leading the pack was Athletes First, with a total of 16 clients drafted in the 7 rounds. Athletes First had a good spread through the rounds.

HSM 3: Senior Year - Wonders of the American Education System - (USA)
Well, since i didn’t won the tickets to the gala premiere, the least i could do was to ensure that my love Nurul caught it on it’s opening day. WE caught the 425pm show at GV Marina. From the entrance, i could see the rows of young teens happily giggling (Many girls i say!) in gleeful expectation of catching High School Musical 3 : Senior Year. Honestly, i have never caught a single HSM show before thus i was with mixed reactions. The kids dampened my mood with their giggles and laughter. I w

Keeping the Company of a Snow Angel Amid the Glitter of the Golden Dome - (USA)
The second-best pastime in frozen conditions may well be football in the snow. Playing tackle football in the immediate aftermath of a serious snowfall ranks among the favorite recreations of my Washington youth. White-out football is also great to watch on TV. But even better is being in four or five layers, all rosy-cheeked, on one of America's most beautiful college campuses while it's covered in a fresh deep blanket of snow. I found out about my favorite winter conditions settling in on So

Coming home I see that the Oilers are coughing up a hairball against the Blackhawks, which makes feel even better about catching some quality live AHL action tonight here in Toronto.

Our Jane and Baseball…?? - (USA)
This cannot wait for the weekly round-up! See this article in today’s CNN.com edition : According to author Julian Norridge baseball originated in Britain, and part of his proof comes from a reference in Jane Austen’s novel “Northanger Abbey.” Norridge, whose book “Can we Have our Balls Back, Please?” focuses on Britain’s role in writing the rulebooks for a long list of sports, says Austen mentioned baseball in the opening pages of “Northanger Abbey,” which was written in 1797-98.

Can Cleveland Fans Stop Shooting Themselves In The Foot? - (USA)
It's tougher now than ever before to be a fan of professional sports in Cleveland, Ohio. Why? Well, at least Clevelanders, whose teams haven't won a major world championship of any sort since 1964 when Jim Brown was running between the tackles for the Browns, used to have Philadelphia to share the misery. After the Phillies' World Series run last month, the City of Brotherly Love can once again call itself a world champion for the first time since 1983. LeBron James is, by far, the best thing t
