Normally, I’m not a big fan of women’s soccer. But today I found my new favourite soccer player in New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert. See the awesomeness below… Some will say she’s a goon. Some will make snide comments about her being a Mormon-hater. Some will ask if these girls stole her boyfriend. Or girlfriend. Some will [...]
…especially after today, thanks to a home loss to Navy. It reminds me of the last time Navy came to South Bend. And they won. Greg and I were watching that day as Navy ran the option about 435 times that day (would have been a good day to play QB1), and Notre Dame just [...]
I think the Yankees vs. Phillies is easily the best World Series matchup of the past decade. On paper, this series has it all. First, you’ve got two major markets with rabid fanbases. Yankee fans, fairweather or otherwise, are abundant, and everyone in sports knows you can’t match Philadephia fans for intensity. Second, unlike previous years, [...]
In a move that seems right out of the Raiders playbook, ESPN is reporting that Washington Redskins management “strongly suggested” to Jim Zorn that he turn over playcalling duties to Sherm Lewis, who was last prominent when Brett Favre was actually winning a Super Bowl in Green Bay. Yes, Washington’s offense has been awful this [...]
Dick Jauron must be fired as coach of the Buffalo Bills. Its as simple as that. He’s a good guy, but he’s a lousy coach, and it’s time for a new direction in Buffalo. More on that later. Last year, the Bills got off to a hot start, but faded quickly. Injuries took their toll, but [...]
There are a lot of interesting stories in the NFL this year. There are a number of amusing stories in the NFL this year. Let’s look at who Michael Crabtree was this off-season. He was a talented WR in a pass-happy pop gun offense with good-to-great ratings in pre-draft evaluations. Definite high first round pick, though [...]
Yesterday, Arizona Bankruptcy Court Judge Redfield T. Baum denied the two competing bids to buy the Phoenix Coyotes. One bid was from Research In Motion co-CEO and self-appointed Canadian Hockey Philanthropist Jim Balsillie, while the other was from the NHL itself, who became an 11th hour bidder because they want to keep the team in [...]
Fresh off putting Chad Pennington on IR and realizing that their quarterbacking hopes were on the shoulders of Chad Henne and Pat White, the Miami Dolphins today traded an undisclosed draft pick of the who cares variety to the KC Chiefs for Tyler Thigpen. That’s right. The Dolphins just acquired the 3rd string quarterback of [...]
Without a doubt, the biggest most surprising story of the young NFL season is the NY Jets. They were mediocre with Brett Favre last year, and looked to be geared up for a significant rebuilding season with rookie Mark Sanchez at the helm. But three weeks in, they’ve toppled heavyweight teams in Tennessee and New [...]
In the wake of the impending lockout of NBA referees, we at SportPops have some pressing questions about the situation: Who will get into gambling troubles and fix games? Who will make calls in favour of the home teams? Who will give superstars like Kobe, Lebron, and Dwayne Wade the benefit of every call? Who will be given dubious [...]
Now that the regular season is almost finished in most fantasy leagues, I thought I would select the 2009 SportPops Fantasy Football [...]

Bill Belichick is an evil genius. You don't usually see Mr. Hoodie on the wrong end of stupidity, but ol' Bill sure pulled a doozie last night. [...]
Imagine, you're a Maurice Jones-Drew owner, and you see him streaking towards an easy TD that will help you take the lead, or at least get a nice [...]
