The NBA Playoffs are finally here, YES! And this year is shaping up to be one of the best in terms of the amount star-powered teams. What is dominating Sportcenter these days? The NFL lockout and the NBA playoffs. We are now enjoying what we've waited for all year. Even with great competition, the NBA will lose a large sum this season. The possibility of a lockout is sneaking up, under the cover

The tradition of throwing an octopus on the ice has been with the Detroit Red Wings since 1952. It signifies the 8 games required to win the Stanley Cup, though the playoff format has changed since then. Thursday, a fan was ejected from the game in Detroit and was threatened with fines for his participation in throwing one of these slimy creatures. I grew up in St.Louis so naturally (and

The 2011 NBA playoffs are going to get saucy. I've been watching games all season and it has become apparent that the talent pool in the NBA has risen to the top. Teams like the Wizards, Timberwolves, and Bobcats had no chance this year and any years in the foreseeable future.  That means most of the playoff games will be exciting from the beginning of the first round. If your like me, you love

I have been catching some flack lately about my love for baseball. Sure its not the most in-your-face action sport compared to other sports, but what is? Enduring what seems like 25 time-outs during a basketball game? Or sitting at a football game when the players get to rest every 10 seconds? All of these views are subjective and are arguments that support differing sports in the debate of

Kobe popping his mouth off once again! What's new? All of athletes curse and get pissed off during games. I was once tossed from a soccer game for telling the referee to 'go f**k himself' and I'm not ashamed of it. You put so much of your time and effort into achieving a set goal for your team and it's emotional. As unavoidable as these incidences are, punishment is still dealt out and in Mr.

We are all now familiar with the NFL labor agreement. Here is a good link to an article written on SportingNews.com about the ongoing NBA labor discussions. The article covers 3 main issues the NBA is looking at including the salary cap, team revenue sharing, and guaranteed money. While these are the issues concerning capitol $$$, they will obviously be the topics touched on the most. The

If all of you Sportcenter watchers out there haven't noticed, EPSN is gearing up for the 2011 NFL Draft by gracing us with meaningless NFL replays and testimonials of drafts' past, enter New England Patriot Tom Brady. This is a very emotional interview where Tom shares his personal draft termoils and ESPN throws in some of his career stats pitted against others picked before him. I am dying to
