I recently read a piece on Kyle Korver discussing his impending return from injury, and why it was delayed. The piece said: “Although he’d hoped to return in the coming days, Korver will have to wait a little longer. He said Thursday that Cybex testing showed he still has strength to regain in his hamstring [...]

Family, Fixings, and First Downs: NFL Thanksgiving Scattershots

As a Canadian, I joined my countrymen in the giving of thanks over a month ago. But as a sports fan, I cannot help but feel a part of the American version of the holiday. The reason for this is simple: the North American sports leagues flood us with content to coincide with the holiday. [...]
Raptors Republic Article - Bosh’s Decision in Strictly Financial Terms
Posted: 26th November 2009 by Blake Murphy in Blake Murphy, NBA Ball, Outside WritingComments Off
I have a new article up at Raptors Republic…it’s about Bosh again. This time, though, I’m analyzing his stay-or-go decision looking strictly at finances - I applied the NBA cap rules to all 30 teams, and adjusted for taxes and cost of living to see how many “real” dollars teams can offer CB4 this summer.

T-Mac’s Top 10: Sexiest Hockey Players
Posted: 25th November 2009 by Tieja Maclaughlin in Hockey, Tieja MacComments Off
It’s no secret that hockey players are some of the best looking athletes on the planet (Editor’s Note: This is an extremely well kept secret to the male population). They’ve got the body, the grit, the attitude…oh, and did I mention the body? The question is how do you narrow it down and pick the [...]
Raptors Republic Article - Will Bosh’s Hot Start Continue
Posted: 20th November 2009 by Blake Murphy in Blake Murphy, NBA Ball, Outside WritingComments Off
Here’s a tasty teaser: “It is easy to get overexcited, as Raptor fans, about Chris Bosh’s performance through the first 12 games. There are reasons to be guarded, to be pessimistic, or to deem his success suspect thus far. At the same time, it’s easy, as Raptor fans, to let his success thus far underwhelm [...]
18/82 of What We’ll Know: Shifting the November Focus, and a Live Kadri Scouting Report
Posted: 16th November 2009 by Blake Murphy in Blake Murphy, HockeySince I last wrote, the Leafs have railed off three straight losses. I’m not sure why I’m surprised; perhaps, my concluding paragraphs last Tuesday were too optimistic, too hope-inspiring, effectively turning on the Blue-blinders that we as Leaf fans all too often adorn. Upon closer reflection, it was the month as a whole that I [...]

Idle hands are the devil’s playground, so they say. I guess, then, it’s good that I’ve been a little too busy (and under the weather) to write much in the way of coherent sports analysis the past few weeks. I say that, of course, because if I had wrote the latest Leafs’ update at the [...]
NBA Roundup: The Dark Side Of The Moon
Posted: 9th November 2009 by Trev Smith in NBA Ball, Trev SmithWith autumn disappearing, the world now begins to fade from view. The days have grown shorter and “right now” creeps into our lives more quickly than we might wish. The world is dying again, at least for the next five months. But there is hope even as darkness falls earlier and earlier. For it is [...]
