With 3 weeks of the season done, we are almost at the point where the polls become less fluid and where we can begin to get a track of how each team will do this season. We can already, for most intents and purposes, eliminate some teams from contention in BCS bowls and in the [...]

Is the Schedule Too Tough?
Every year, at least once or twice, Rafael Nadal very publicly complains about the fact that, in his opinion at least, the ATP World Tour schedule is too demanding on players. He has a pretty valid argument. The season lasts from early-to-mid January until late November. And that 6-week break is really the only chance [...]
Another Week 2 Preview
I would hate to be an NFL quarterback this week, with 14 passers topping 300 yards, 4 topping 400 and Tom Brady managing to top 500 yards. So the big question now is after all of that emotion and hype going into the opening slate of games, how the hell are the teams and players [...]
NFL Week 2 Preview: The CEO
Wow!! That’s all I can say about week 1 in the NFL season. Well actually I had a lot to say, so check out my “Morning After Thoughts” from Monday. We are rolling now in the young NFL season and it’s safe to say there were a lot of expected and unexpected that came from [...]
CFB With the TSHQ Gamblers: The Sexy Six Week 3
What’s new? While Notre Dame was busy gagging away a 4th quarter cover I was sitting back, arms folded, grin on my face because despite the legion of doubters who criticized myself and K.M last week, all I did was pop off another winning week. Despite Notre Dame’s choke, despite South Carolina’s blown cover with [...]
NHL Rule Changes? Oh please….
“It’s too confusing.” “I don’t understand what’s going on.” “What just happened?” “Why did they do that?” These are a lot of the complaints you get from the non-hockey fan while they watch a game. Hockey’s different from most other sports: most people didn’t grow up playing it and many didn’t grow up watching it. [...]
Week 1 Reactions, Recaps & Awards
It’s a great feeling having the NFL back in action, the early games were an awesome group with the Ravens-Steelers being the feature match as well as Detroit-Tampa, St Louis-Philly and Indy-Houston all having big storylines attached to them. The most interesting games however were ones that had rather low-key build ups with Tennessee-Jacksonville going [...]
And The Winner Is…
It’s the twilight of the 2011 MLB season, which can only mean two things: awards and the playoffs. Spoiler alert, this post is not about the post-season. This is a reflection back on the illustrious 2011 season. One in which saw the rise and spark of some players careers while others took a huge step [...]
The Morning After: Week 1 NFL Review
Welcome one and all to the first ever Morning After. The Morning After will be the spot where you can find all the post game analysis from yours truly, the CEO of TSHQ, Seth Cox. Unfortunately this week, and for that matter every odd week in the season, I have to work, which means that [...]
BCS Implications: Week 2
The lack of major upsets in the first two weeks of the season means that the polls have been relatively stable. While this might not be as exciting as close games and amazing wins every week, it does give us a better picture of how voters are treating teams. Expect at least one major shake-up [...]
