    • Sports Randomizer, Miami Futility Edition

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, NOVEMBER 19 2007 12:01 PM | PERMALINK

       

      Tough times for Miami sports fans? Understatement of the year.

       

      -There's nothing sadder in the sports landscape these days than the absolute misery going on in Miami. Sports fans in Miami should probably be put on suicide watch considering the Dolphins are unable to win a single game, the Heat are in such disarray with aging talent that Pat Riley thinks he can outplay them, and the once proud (annoyingly proud, even) Miami U is a joke. I'd say they could wait until baseball season, but everyone...

    • How Baseball Can Solve the Replay Problem

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, NOVEMBER 14 2007 12:41 PM | PERMALINK

      Forget the showy NFL system, MLB should shoot for invisibility.

      Whenever I hear sports fans and analysts talk about the potential upcoming addition of instant replay to the MLB I get surprised by the hesitation, and sometimes direct rage, against the idea. The shortcomings of the NFL's replay system is consistently cited as a reason for such negative attitudes, but I'm going to come out and say that anyone who doesn't see the potential benefits of replay in baseball is suffering from a lack of...

    • Peterson Injury Highlights Viking Weaknesses

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, NOVEMBER 13 2007 01:08 PM | PERMALINK

      With all eyes of the NFL Nation on Adrian Peterson this week expecting to see more examples of all-time greatness as we saw last week, we instead saw the frightening worry surrounding this player's durability. Which is unfair, considering the hit he took to his knee was one to lay even the most durable low. Still, with the concerns over his long-term health and the immense amount of promise built up by the first half of the season, it was a jarring moment. Luckily for Peterson and those that love...

      Any more whining for us this week, Ray?

      -It's far past time to pile on the pitiful Ravens and the complete freefall they are in. Getting hammered by a Super Bowl caliber team like the Steelers on the road is one thing, getting beat by the lowly and struggling Bengals at home is quite another. Ray Lewis and the game were quick to pop off with quotes ringing with the wails of aging and hurt male pride after last week... I wonder what kind of empty boasts we will hear out of Baltimore this week. 

    • Peterson Blowing Up the NFL

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, NOVEMBER 06 2007 11:48 AM | PERMALINK

      This just in: The Raiders want a draft do-over.

      The one record I most wanted to be broken in NFL football was the single-game rushing record. It never quite sat right with me that Jamal Lewis got to hold that record after beating up on a sorry Browns defense. Even though they would never admit it, I'm sure Corey Dillon and Walter Payton agree. I did not, however, expect it to ever happen. 296 yards or more in an NFL game by a running back seemed almost impossible, since defenses as bad as the one...

    • Moss' Demise Greatly Exaggerated

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, OCTOBER 25 2007 02:06 PM | PERMALINK

      If you've spent much time reading my columns here over the summer, you've probably noticed by now that I tend to spend a lot of energy and column space analyzing not only sports, but analyzing the analysts that analyze sports. That is to say I spend a lot of time measuring the entirety of the sports journalist field. The predictions, the hype, the fabricated controversies, it all piques my interest. Typically, sports prognostication by both fans and analysts can be a dicey thing. A lot of predictions...
