Skille impresses in Hawks' preseason opener
2009-09-20 07:00:00 Jack Skille had something to play for Saturday night and it showed. The 2005 first round draft pick was impressive in the Chicago Blackhawks' 3-2 OT loss to the Washington Capitols in the team's exhibition opener. Skille combined his speed along with aggressive board play to stand out amid the other Blackhawks battling for a roster spot. The winger used good quickness in the offensive zone to net a wrist shot from the right circle in the 2nd period to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead. More importantly for Skille, he won numerous puck battles along the boards displaying good body positioning. Skille made a strong case to be considered for the big club as the Blackhawks travel to Helsinki to open the regular...

Broncos on Sunday Night: As Good As Preseason Gets?
2009-08-24 15:02:00 Mark Klis from the Denver Post writes:In the grand scheme that is the grand matchup between Cutler and the Bears vs. Orton and the Broncos -- or better yet, Cutler vs. McDaniels -- the 2009 preseason to date means little. "Obviously, there's going to be a little bit of drama wrapped around it," Cutler told Chicago reporters following his impressive home debut Saturday at Soldier Field. "But we've just got to focus."It may just be a preseason game, but I don't remember ever being excited for a preseason game on a Monday morning. And I can't be the only Bears fan that feels this way. It's Sunday night on national TV with some captivating story lines on display. Cutler responded...

NBA Preseason 24
2008-10-23 18:46:00 MIA Heat - New Orleans Hornets @ New Orleans Hornets -5.5Stake 4 1.91 BwinRaro me resulta este handicap entre el mejor equipo de la pretemporada los Hornets con un balance de 6-0 y que les hemos visto muy sobrados en sus ultimos enfrentamientos contra unos Miami, que con pocos retoques y la vuelta de Dwane Wade espera no ser el peor equipo NBA. De New Orleans decir mas bien poco, quizas que es todavia mejor equipo que el ańo pasado al ańadir a James Posey da una muesca mas en su calibre y mejora su posicion mas debil el escolta defensor. Los Hornets el otro dia recien aterrizados de Berlin ganaron sin muchos problemas a Indiana, con una gran actuacion de sus dos All Star Cris Paul 23 puntos y David West que encesto 26.En Miami confian en que SHawn Marion se asiente en el equipo (aunque aun no lo tiene del todo claro) y junto con el rookie Beasley el equipo empiece a ir para arriba. Me parece muy poco para un equipo que esta en crisis de todo, sin ninguna confianza, con el publico ab...
Blue chips & cow chips from the Packers preseason opener
2008-08-13 18:35:00 It's still early to make inferences on the impact of one preseason game, but it's not too early to make snap judgements and rash opinions while sitting on the couch. Here's some of the winners and losers from the first Green Bay Packers vs. Cincinnati Bengals Monday Night Football game:The blue chip, premiere players:Aaron Rodgers -- The Packers' new quarterback is the talk of the national media after leading the Packers' to two scoring drives and throwing for 117 yards in just a quarter of play. Rodgers didn't exactly get a ton of help either. A drop by Donald Driver on third and 17 negated what would have been a first down on the opening drive of the game. Another drop by Chris Francies resulted in an interception when the ball bounced off of him. Rodgers was also plagued by shaky pass protection from guard Josh Sitton and running back Brandon Jackson.The middle linebackers -- Nick Barnett picked up where he left off last year when he was making plays from sideline to sideli...

South Carolina (6-6) This is a leap of faith considering how the Gamecocks ended 2007, but we’re guessing South Carolina should have one of the nation’s most improved teams.
