Question of the Day (11/18/09)

What is wrong with the New York Jets?

Is it the lack of experience at head coach and at the quarterback position?

Could it be a lack of talent?

Are they just not as good as the teams they are playing?

Most of this year's games for the Jets have been close all the way to the end. The Jets Defense has done very well, holding opponents down trying to give the offense a chance to win. Mark Sanchez, in his rookie year, has shown sparks of big game talent and looks like he is here to stay. Braylon Edwards is a huge talent at the wide receiver position and is one of the best one on one, especially with his size. Thomas Jones is a consistent runner and Dustin Keller has become a go to target at tight end. The Defensive Line has put pressure on some of the best quarterbacks and for the most part, they have done very well defending against the big plays down the field. The special teams has been a problem lately, with the loss to Miami sitting solely on their shoulders. This season is wash for the New York Jets, but moving forward, they need to address these issues and build on it for next season.

Question of the Day (11/12/09)

The New Orleans Hornets have fired head coach Byron Scott after a 3-6 start, is that fair? And why does Lawrence Frank still have his job as head coach of the 0-8 New Jersey Nets?

At least Byron Scott took his team to the playoffs in the past two seasons. Scott also won NBA Coach of the Year honors in 2008 after he guided the Hornets to a 56-26 record and the Southwest Division title. The Hornets were within one win of the West finals before losing Game 7 at home to the San Antonio Spurs. Last season they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Nuggets and this season their latest loss came last night to Phoenix, 124-104.  On the other hand, the New Jersey Nets are 0-8...enough said.

Question of the Day (11/11/09)

If Barry Sanders had not retired from the NFL early, would he and not Emmit Smith, be the all-time leading rusher?

How good was Barry Sanders? Better than Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Emmit Smith?

Question of the Day (11/10/09)

This has been a debate around the water cooler, at sports bars, in offices and anywhere baseball and Yankee fans can be found. The question is, who is the best Yankee ever? The debate has usually been between Derek Jeter and Babe Ruth, specifically due to the accomplishments of Jeter this past season.. There have been plenty of very strong arguments for each side. Take into consideration though, the time, the era, the stats, the off the field actions, the championships, the teams and the other players. And remember, the Babe also pitched.....
