The Denver Broncos suffered a major blow this Wednesday when they learned that their Pro Bowl linebacker and arguably best defensive player in outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil would miss the next four months with a torn pectoral muscle.

This was bad news to say the least for the Broncos as they had just signed Dumervil to a huge contract extension over the next five years worth about $58 million dollars and an unprecedented $43 million guaranteed over the length of the contract. Continue Reading…

Wednesday, the San Diego Chargers made an announcement that one of their newly drafted rookies from this year’s draft will be unable to attend this NFL season with the Chargers due an injury suffered to the player’s Achilles tendon on Tuesday during practice, which was being held at Chargers Park.

Linebacker Donald Butler, drafted out of the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft, was taken off the field immediately due his ankle injury.

Wednesday, a release was issued by the St. Louis Cardinals in regards to having to place right-hander Jason Motte on the 15-day disabled list specifically due to an injury that Motte sustained to his right shoulder. More specifically, the injury was referred to as an AC sprain.

The 28-year-old first felt something wrong in his shoulder Monday night at which time he reported the discomfort to the team’s training staff but did not express his pain to the coaching staff. The right-handed pitcher pitched the seventh inning and then the eight, but only after receiving heat on his right shoulder to help relieve the discomfort that he was feeling. However, the pain showed during the eight inning as he didn’t pitch nearly as well as he did previously. Continue Reading…

On Tuesday morning, the sports world was rocked once again by the great Brett Favre as people learned that he had decided to retire for the game he loves.

Even though this shouldn’t be a surprise up to this point in the Brett Favre saga, most people were shocked to hear the news as Favre has arguably his best chance of winning a second Super Bowl title next season behind center for the Minnesota Vikings. Continue Reading…

The Boston Celtics were noticeably struggling against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals recently as their frontcourt just couldn’t contend with the likes of Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum in the paint.

Friday, Seattle Mariners’ Erik Bedard is scheduled for surgery on his shoulder in Seattle. Dr. Lewis Yocum, the well-known orthopedist for the Angels, will assist Dr. Edward Khalfayan, the team’s main physician, for the surgery. This will be the second surgery that Bedard will undergo in the past year.

This surgery is just one of the many surgeries that he has had since being traded from Baltimore just shortly before the 2008 season to Seattle. The left-handed pitcher has not thrown a single pitch this season since he has been recovering from his surgery that was performed last year on his shoulder – more specifically, it was labrum surgery.

There are very few Hall of Fame caliber quarterbacks that have been able to stand the test of time and the brutal beatings sustained throughout a long NFL season year after year, but despite fighting through an unprecedented 19 years in the league, Brett Favre has been able to stay relatively healthy and amongst the best at his position.

Last season the Silver Fox decided to give it one more shot behind center for the Minnesota Vikings. The consensus was that with Favre as their quarterback, the Vikings would instantly become a Super Bowl title contender instead of team that struggles to make the playoffs in the NFC Conference. Online sportsbooks loved the action with Minnesota last year. Continue Reading…

The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL over the past decade or so as they always seem to be a threat to contend for a Super Bowl title every single season.
