Ben Schwind looks into what effect the big preseason trade has had on the NBA so far in 2013.
Sitting at the Blackhawks game a few weeks ago, it occurred to me that the United Center or “Madhouse on Madison” has become – over the last few years – not only one of the best arenas atmosphere-wise in the NHL, but also in all of sports as well. This fact is especially evident when it comes to the rousing rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” delivered by soloist Jim Cornelison and accompanied by the cheers of a sell-out crowd in excess of 20,000 fans before each Blackhawks home game. This tradition of cheering the anthem before each game has … Continued
If there is a bias against west coast and southeastern NCAA softball teams, no one told the Hawkeyes this past weekend. The University of Iowa’s softball team went out to the Easton Invitational in Fullerton, California this weekend to be the fifth team in the tournament. The field of Iowa’s opponents included CSU-Bakersfield, the host school Cal-State Fullerton, #24 Oregon State and #16 Stanford.

The Big Ten is the strongest conference in the nation so far this year, but Iowa sits at 18-11 and 7-9 in the Big Ten with only one game to go in conference.

CBS Sports’ Doug Gottlieb said he thinks Iowa will be the eighth team in the tournament from the Big … Continued
Jordan Kabialis tries to figure out the Michael Jordan lawsuit debacle on this week’s Tuesday Tirade.
The number one selection in the upcoming NFL draft was already a bit of a question mark. It seemed that the general consensus a few months ago was that it would be West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith. Lately, it was more 50/50 between Geno Smith and Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel. Now, things have been shaken up even further. New General Manager John Dorsey and Head Coach Andy Reid have already made huge moves at both positions. It was reported during the NFL combine that they will trade for San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Alex Smith on March 12th … Continued
