Dainius Zubrus will miss the next four to six weeks with a right leg
injury sustained in Thursday’s shootout loss at Nashville. By now,
Devils fans are numb to it all. They’ve watchedPaul Martin, Johnny
Oduya, Jay Pandolfo, and Rob Niedermayer hit the injured list since the
start of the season. That doesn’t even take into account the 14 games
missed byPatrik Elias as he worked his way back from groin and hip
repairs. The Devils have handled adversity admirably to this point,
getting major contributions from kids who’ve played like men. The
Zubrus injury may be the most challenging to overcome.
I had a chance to speak with Rutgers defensive end George Johnson about the Scarlet Knights' chances winning the Big East, the big win over South Florida and their upcoming game against Syracuse.
Last night's Coaches vs. Cancer tourney at MSG saw Syracuse dismantle Cal and North Carolina survive against a very scrappy Ohio State team. I thought Cal's guards would put up more of a fight against the Orange, but the Bears missed sharpshooter Theo Robertson.
In the second game, the Tar Heels' length bothered Buckeyes star Evan Turner all night long.
I thought there was no crying in football, but come to think of it,
Jets head coachRex Ryan now shares the same emotion most Jets fans
have experienced since Joe Namath's 1969 Super Bowl victory.
In their last five games, Gang Green has invented new ways to torment
their faithful by playing well enough just to lose. Now comes this
week’s game up in New England against an angry Patriots football team
coming off a defeat when their head coach lost his mind by going for it
on a 4th-and-2 from his own 28-yard line late in Sunday night's contest
aganist the Colts. Jets fans may have to find the strength to hold back
the tears after this Sunday's contest because it's going to be
extremely difficult for Gang Green to win their third straight game
over the Pats.
Yoo-hoo, Chicken Little, where are you now that the skeptics believe the sky IS falling all around you?
Listening to some of the Doubting Thomases around the New York hockey media and some Rangers fans, you would think that the Blueshirts had a record that now belongs to the Carolina Hurricanes or Toronto Maple Leafs.
However, a reality check indicates that the Blueshirts are two over .500 (11-9-1), tied with the Islanders at 23 points apiece and, as of 7 p.m. on Thursday night, are also ahead of the Senators, Canadiens, Lightning, Thrashers and Panthers. In other words, seven teams are behind the Seventh Avenue skaters.
This past weekend was the most successful one for the New York Giants since beating Dallas in Week 2. They had zero injuries and rested key players while both Philadelphia and Dallas lost ground in the NFC East playoff race. All of a sudden, the Giants' four-game losing streak doesn't feel so bad with the 5-4 G-Men only one game back of the 6-3, first-place Cowboys.
Giants head coachTom Coughlin may have his most healthy squad this season as Big Blue hosts 5-4 Atlanta Sunday in a key conference matchup that will help one of these teams' playoff chances. The Falcons come in banged up after a loss to Carolina, but that is not all they lost. Star RB Michael Turner suffered a high ankle sprain and could be out for some time.
The most common questions I get from people when I tell them what I do
for a living are, "do you get to travel with the team?" and "do you
mind being on the road so much?" The answers are always the same. "Yes,
I usually travel with the team" (it depends on if I am coming from or
going to a Versus commitment) and "no, I still enjoy traveling around
North America to broadcast NHL games."
That doesn't mean, however, that the travel is always easy and it
doesn't come with some inconveniences. As the Islanders are in the
midst of their season long seven-game, 12-night road trip, I thought it
would be interesting to share some of our itinerary from the first
seven days to give you an idea what life's like on the road with an NHL
team.

Coming off last year's Final Four appearance, the UConn Huskies will try to get there again and hopefully win it all this time around. I sat down with head coach Jim Calhoun to get his outlook on the team.
