Mention the name John Tavares to any hockey fan and you’ll be met with instant recognition. While the name Kyle Okposo brings smiles to the faces of New York Islanders fans and fear to the other 25 teams in the National Hockey League, many are left asking, “Who?” (more…)

The New York Mets are on the verge of signing Jason Bay to a 4 year, $66 million deal. But the moves they make next will make or break the 2010 season. They still have to address their needs at catcher, first base, and on the mound. Do they trade Castillo and sign Hudson? Will they give Molina the years he wants? Personally, I think the team is a few years away from a post-season run, and should save their money until the free-agent class of 2011. But with a new stadium and a team across town that just won another ring, can the front office really expect the fans to wait? Jason Bay is nice, but I don’t believe the Mets can do enough this off-season to catch the Phillies or Braves. For the sake of Mets fans, I hope I’m wrong.

Los Angeles is known for its sunshine and warm weather, but look for the nasty separation of Frank and Jamie McCourt to keep temperatures rising this winter. The couple from Boston brought their flashy lifestyle across the country back in 2004, when they purchased the Dodgers from News Corp for about $430 million. Promising to fix LA’s beloved team, they instantly found comfort in their new city, where money, power and overindulgences are a way of life. For example, they bought four houses, two in Malibu and two in Holmby Hills (across from the Playboy Mansion). (more…)

Everyone knows that every Pro Bowl selection brings about plenty of snubs and undeserved invitations, but this year is as bad as it’s ever been for the Giants. Shaun O’Hara is the only member of the Giants that was named to the 2009 Pro Bowl? Ludicrous.
