Tony Karpinski Jan 31, 2012
After all the waiting, the NFL sadly will be ending, yet excitedly boils down to this, the big game. We all wait with baited breath for the season to begin, rooting on our teams, hoping for them to make it to the Bowl. Now the season is almost over and although climactic like no other sporting event in the world, after this we wait for the Draft.

Has Eli Manning finally done enough to be considered an “elite quarterback?”
Tony Karpinski Jan 26, 2012
Firstly, I will start with the fact that I think the term elite is thrown around way too much. Like similar terms like icon, or legend, these are words that are very powerful words and should never be taken carelessly when describing someone or something.

But, I will also say, times change much more frequently in today’s sports than they ever have, and I dejectedly imagine they will o ...  read more


Weekly NFL POWER B-L-I-T-Z
Tony Karpinski Oct 5, 2011
Game of the week

Lions (4-0) vs Cowboys (2-2); The Lions beat the Cowboys, 34-30. The Lions have been more than showing they are a team to be taken very seriously. Putting something pretty special together early in the season. I, who was once unsure of the hype, am buying in on the Lions, they are legit. Turning a 24 point deficit from the 2nd quarter, roaring back to win the game 34-30 o ...  read more


Have we really seen the last of Randy Moss?
Tony Karpinski Aug 25, 2011
There is no question of the skills of a player of Randy Moss’s caliber. He played for 13 years, made loads of amazing catches, out leaping, out running, out jostling CBs, and safeties all over the NFL.

One of the major issues the troubled wide receiver apparently had was his desire. He never seemed to play with the fire and take 100% full advantage of his skills, he just “let it happen.” M ...  read more


What kind of expectations are there for the Green Bay Packers to repeat as champions?
Tony Karpinski Aug 15, 2011
Firstly, let’s start off with an ecstatic cheer for the NFL football season getting geared up and ready to roll. I never considered the horrific thought that football wouldn’t start on time, and thankfully for all the fans, it will be, without missing a beat.

Welcome back NFL!

Now, onto the “Packer Backers.” Last season, the Pack made it into the playoffs with a 10-6 respectabl ...  read more


2011 NFL draft preview
Tony Karpinski Apr 27, 2011
1-Carolina Panthers (Last year’s record 2-14); Marcell Dareus, Alabama, Defensive End; I don’t think they are ready to give up on Jimmy Clausen yet.

2-Denver Broncos (Last year’s record 4-12); Nick Fairley, Auburn, Defensive Tackle; Extraordinary pass rusher desired.

3-Buffalo Bills (Last year’s record 4-12); Patrick Peterson, LSU, Cornerback; Immediate help at corner, create some ...  read more


Who really got the better end of the Carmello Anthony trade?
Tony Karpinski Apr 24, 2011
Carmelo Anthony has been a superstar for years, scoring from all over the court. A career 24.8 point scorer and a 46% shooter from the field. Melo has been proven as a scorer throughout his NBA for 7 years.

Playing at Syracuse, he scored 22 a night for the 30-5 Orange, taking them to the NCAA championship and winning it all in 202-2003 beating Kansas. After only 1 season, he decided to ...  read more


Why the NBA is better with the Knicks in the playoffs.
Tony Karpinski Apr 16, 2011
The struggling New York Knicks haven’t been in the playoffs for 6 years. The last time they won 50 games was back in 99-00. The Knicks have struggled for many, many seasons, winning an average of only 32 games a season during that 10 year span. Last time they were in the playoffs, they were being coached by the dueling triple coaching of Don Chaney, Lenny Wilkens and even Herb Williams and their ...  read more

Has the luck of the Boston Celtics faded
Tony Karpinski Apr 11, 2011
When the 2011 season began, the men in green were off and running…again. Last year’s 7 game series loss to the Los Angeles Lakers kept them motivated and hungry.

They were ripping teams apart, beating Miami, Oklahoma City and Chicago along the way, easily. Putting up 101 a game, and holding their opponents to only 92 a night over the first 25 games of the season. Teams struggled getting go ...  read more

NBA All Star Weekend, is it as special anymore?
Tony Karpinski Feb 18, 2011
When I was a kid, growing up watching basketball, the All Star weekend was awesome. I was pumped up for everything that was the All Star game, from the dunk contest to the three point shootout. Now in addition, when I was a kid, I had to hang on to see who won on the news at night, my friend video recorded it on the VCR at his grandma’s house, and we got it the next day and watched it.

WEEK OF: 2/6/11 - 2/12/11

1-San Antonio Spurs (45-9) The Spurs being led by Manu Ginobli’s 18/game, are a new look team. Dealing with their perennial all star starter, Tim Duncan, who, was not voted into the starting lineup for the Western Conference All-Star game, are still the best in the NBA.

2- Boston Celtics (38-14); They are still the best in the East, with their suffoca ...  read more

Tony Karpinski Feb 9, 2011
WEEK OF 1/30/11 - 2/5/11

1-San Antonio Spurs (42-8); The San Antonio Spurs are the team no one gave a chance to this season. They are too old, they can’t contend with the big dawgs in the West anymore; don't have the stars or weapons to challenge. They are obviously proving everyone dead wrong, winning in many ways. Scoring the ball, 104 ppg, playing defense, 97/gm, and how about the unkno ...  read more

Is Rondo a premier point guard in the NBA?
Tony Karpinski Nov 24, 2010
The 6-1 point guard for the Boston Celtics is averaging 14.3 assists per game this season. He is by far leading the NBA in the PGs foremost category, over such perennial stars like Steve Nash, Jason Kidd and Chris Paul. But, if asked about who is the best PG in the game today, would Rondo come to mind?

Nash has been in the league for 14 years, he is definitely towards the end of his ca ...  read more
