The 2012 Portland Timbers Starting 11; What Will it Look Like? [Speculation]
Now that the Timbers have a compliment of 30 players total we can sort of assume that the team is going to settle down a bit and look towards building for their starting 11 in March. I know, I know the hot rumor is that a third DP will be coming soon as a true #9 striker. But even without him we...
A Seemingly Quiet Offseason Awaits the New Jersey Devils
Tomorrow at noon marks the official opening of free agency. Teams can offer contracts to unrestricted free agents, who will undoubtedly go out and sign them. With a market that isn't exactly filled with top class players, those "good but not great" players and also-rans could stand to make big...
Dr. Saturday takes an early look at Utah's 2011 season
We're almost to the point where preseason predictions are going to dominate the next few months. With this being Utah's first year in the Pac-12, I expect more attention to be given to the Utah football program. Fair or not, often the national media tends to gloss over the non-BCS conferences and...
But they don't play anybody!
It's another run at perfection and the scheduling snobs have returned with their tired and boring argument that Utah doesn't deserve to be anywhere in the BCS picture because they just don't play anyone.

Media jump-starts GM Search for Lightning
Erik Erlendsson at the Tampa Tribune has a list of potential general manager candidates for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Of course, if you go elsewhere, you'll hear that it's a done deal that the Minnesota Wild's former brainstrust would be taking over in Tampa. Some of the facts that need to be taken...
And boom goes the dynamite
The 2010 recruiting day is over. Exhausted? I am. It was a pretty spectacular day for the Utes, who, according to Rivals, produced the 32nd best class nationally and tops for a non-BCS team. Speculation aside, I'm pretty excited about this class. If we're going on subjective rankings alone - it's...
Michelle Kwan to Skate in Yu-na Kim's Ice Show
Ok, this is kind-of-a-big deal: Michelle Kwan is skating in Yu-na Kim's Ice All Stars 2009 on August 14 through the 16th in Seoul, South Korea, per The Korea Times. I believe this is the first time we'll see her skate since 2006. And the speculation will be plentiful on whether she looks like...
