Yankees Mystique Vanishing

The Yankees are quickly becoming one of the most over-hyped teams in baseball. Since 2000, what have the New York Yankees done—besides blow almost-guaranteed series victories?

The Yankees have been to the World Series twice since 2000 and they’ve lost both times. In 2001, they lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks and in 2003 the Florida Marlins beat them.

It seems that 2004 was a pivotal season for the New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox came back—somehow—from death’s door to beat the Yankees in the playoffs. The Red Sox went on to win the 2004 World Series.

A-Rod Playoff Watch

We are two games into the playoffs, and it’s time to start checking up on Alex Rodriguez. Why? Well, for one, he’s paid just over $25,000,000 per season. For another, he’s notorious for failing to deliver in the clutch. So, how has the highest paid player in the league done so far? Not too well.

Culpepper Implodes – Steelers Win

It’s only game one of the 2006 season, but the Miami Dolphins have already proved they have work to do. One week ago, I wrote an article entitled “Miami Dolphins Over Hyped.” In that article, I talked about why the Miami Dolphins are not as good as the media was hyping them to be. I gave three solid reasons why. One reason was Daunte Culpepper. I mentioned his interception problem before. Last night that problem showed up in spades.

Seattle Seahawks Preview

Last season was a breakthrough for the Seattle Seahawks. They went all the way to the Super Bowl—still getting little respect. In the Super Bowl, they lost to the officials who had little help from a team called the Steelers. The gross display of “officiating” was well documented. As usual, nothing was done about it and the game goes on. Still stinging from the rookie officiating mistakes, the Seahawks gear up for a new season.

St. Louis Rams Preview

The St. Louis Rams struggled last season going 6-10. They closed out the 2005 season by going 1-4 over their last five games. The lone win was against Dallas (20-10) in a meaningless game. This season the rams have a new coach—Scott Linehan. Are the problems gone as well? Linehan not only steps into the Rams coaching job for the first time, but as an NFL head coach too.

Arizona Cardinals Preview

For years the Arizona Cardinals have been good for one thing—taking up space. Their best season came back in 2001 when they won seven games. Last season they were a paltry 5-11. Could this season really be any different? Since the Arizona Cardinals had money to spend this off-season, they went out and picked up running back Edgerrin James. Will this move be enough to propel the hapless Arizona Cardinals into a possible playoff scenario?
