Yet another wonderful week has gone by in the NBA and we are starting to get a better look at how things could pan out. It is still early though, and there have been a few injuries that have had their impact on teams around the league. There are teams that still need to shake [...]

Handicapping the NFL: Divisional Round
Season ATS: 27-23-1 Season Over/Unders: 2-5 Season Parlays: 1-3 Season Teasers: 3-10 Season Units: -14.5 units (including future bets) Last Week Recap: -13 units. I don’t want to talk about it. I NEVER want to talk about it. I’d apologize for the fact the Bengals D can’t make a simple point saving tackle, or for [...]
BCS Changes Approaching, But What The Hell Are They?
Basically if you are like me and hate the BCS, today was a pretty good day. Despite staunch disputes against a college football playoff in the past, we’re moving a step closer towards getting one. Now don’t get overly joyous. We’re not getting a college football playoff definitively. NCAA president Mark Emmert came out and [...]
TSHQ’s Mid-season College Basketball Awards
After Half a Season which Teams and Players deserve Awards and Accolades? by Gus Elvin The college basketball season is just about half over which means it is time to look back on the first half of the season and recognize those who have stood out both collectively and individually. In layman’s terms it is time [...]
NFL Divisional Playoff Preview
8 teams, 7 games, 1 champion, that’s all we have left for the 2011 NFL season. Last week was a great way to open up the playoffs with three of the games being competitive (at least for half the game). We finally got to see the new overtime rule in play which, shock horror, people [...]

According to those who vote on whether or not players are deserving of forever being enshrined in Cooperstown, Barry Larkin stands alone eight years removed from his prolific 18-year career. Deserving? Yes, Larkin was an above average fielder with a career .295 batting average. A rare lifer who played for one team (Cincinnati) over the [...]

2012 Australian Open Draw Analysis
This Slam could be one of the most intriguing we’ve had in a while. There are rumors swirling about injury issues for both Federer and Nadal. Federer pulled out before the Doha semifinal citing back injuries and there were unfounded (and denied) rumors floating this week that Nadal would miss the Australian Open entirely with [...]
The Prince is The Popper… So Where Will Prince Fielder Land?
This has been a different type of offseason. There was no big week jam packed with a ton of big moves. It has seemed like each free agent signing or prospect-laden trade happened in its own isolated moment. The Angels made their moves in bulk. The Marlins made their moves seemingly in one day. But [...]
2011 CFB Wrap Up: Final Reflections On an Overall Ugly Season
Most years when the CFB season ends, we are upset and left wanting more. Like many others around the country, I enjoy Saturdays in the fall more than close to anything. But the 2011-2012 season was not the great spectacle we all hoped for. While we look back through this season and recap everything from [...]
