Like most of the preseason games this year and any other, this one is very tough to find any real advantage for either team, because you just don’t know who’s going to be on the field.
The Miami Dolphins might have been the biggest losers in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes this offseason. Last year they were an undermanned squad on offense that wouldn’t quit on D.
After being in the AL East race for most of the season the Blue Jays have really struggled in the last few weeks and now they are 5 games under .500 and are in the basement of the division. While they are 2-8 in their last 10 games they have beaten the Yankees in 3 straight.
The New England Patriots have probably been the quietest team in their division this offseason…but that doesn’t mean they are not still the favourites to win the AFC East.
There is lots of excitement in Buffalo heading into this season. They scooped up some serious defensive talent through free agency and are looking to make the AFC East a three team race (or at the very least finish a season).
You gotta give the New York Jets one thing…they are never boring. The jury is out on whether this team is better or worse heading into 2012, but with the addition of Tim Tebow, now the most famous backup quarterback in league history, the Jets certainly grabbed some headlines away from their stadiummates the Giants.
The Nationals have the best record in the Majors and have won 5 straight while the Astros have the worst record and have dropped 4 in a row.
Well, it is that time of the year again. The NFL season is rapidly approaching, and with that comes the first slate of preseason action.
As usual, we won’t see a much of the projected starters for more than the one series over the next few weeks. Instead, this is where we will observe some of the younger guns attempting to seal their spot on the roster, as well as watching some veterans trying to hold on for one more season.
The Arizona Diamondbacks had a sensational season in 2011 and made their way to the MLB playoffs. The team started slowly in 2012, but they are trying to work their way back into the playoff picture.
It has been a bit of a revolving door in the Mountain West in light of all the recent realignment of teams in the conference.
This season, Nevada, Fresno State, and Hawaii will begin play in the MWC after leaving the Western Athletic Conference, but last season’s defending champion, TCU has moved onto the Big 12.
The final Major of the PGA TOUR season kicks off on Thursday – Kiawah Island will play host to the worlds best in the 2012 PGA Championship.
The Giants won yesterday’s game against the Cardinals and they now have a 1.5 game lead over the Dodgers in the NL West. The Cardinals are still in the NL Central race, but they trail the Reds by 6 games.
Two of the top teams in the American League square off Tuesday night in a game nationally televised by MLB Network. Detroit has looked more like the team people expected of late, but they still have work to do to catch the White Sox in the AL Central.
The Rangers made a major investment in Ryan Dempster. He was blasted in his first start, and you can bet he wants to make a better impression in this one. Jon Lester has been the Red Sox Ace for several years, but he hasn’t pitched like it this season.
The Saints have Drew Brees back in the fold after signing him to a massive contract in the off-season, but can they get over the Bountygate scandal? Head coach Sean Payton is suspended for the season, as is one of the leaders on defense in Jonathan Vilma.
