Lazar Hayward [...]

Entering Sunday’s game against the Eagles, LaDainian Tomlinson’s 2009 had been one to forget. Six weeks in, the Chargers were 2-3 and looking through binoculars to see the 6-0 Denver Broncos at the top of the AFC West division. Tomlinson had missed two of those games and had accumulated just 140 yards and caught five passes out [...]

Wednesday marked the first day of the one-week period for recruits from the 2010 class to sign national letters of intent to their respective schools.  Marquette wasted no time in locking up their two prizes for the early signing period, receiving letters from small forward Jamail Jones and point guard Vander Blue.

With two straight losses to the Vikings and Bucs, respectively, most fans in Green Bay have become impatient with the team.  More so, players have started to air their concerns to the media and people wonder whether or not the season has been lost already.  At 4-4, the Packers have their backs against the wall [...]

The Packers’ 2009 regular season is officially half way over and it is time to hand out grades for the 53 players currently on the active roster.

A New Era One era of Marquette Golden Eagles’ basketball ended in Boise last March, while another will take flight Friday at the Bradley Center.  Six newcomers will take the court Friday night along with the rest of Buzz Williams’ roster as they get ready for a season full of mystery that will be solved as [...]

Seven games into the season for the Packers, they stand at 4-3 and in relatively good position to make a playoff run.  Their schedule matches up favorably compared to other teams and the talent is there for them to make it to the second season.  In honor of their current record, here are four reasons [...]

1. Brandon Jennings is going to be one heck of a talent when he hones in all his skills After only catching a couple of box scores to start the year, I was able to catch my first Milwaukee Bucks game of the season.  While they handed the game away after blowing an 18-point lead in [...]

After another loss to the Minnesota Vikings that all but wrapped up the NFC North Division, the Green Bay Packers were left wondering what it’s going to take in order for them to play a mistake-free game and come through in the clutch.  One of the more confused looks on the Packers’ sideline yesterday came [...]
