Time for a change of pace from the first two live blogs. This time the NFL has a Christmas present for us and it’s in the form of leading rusher Chris Johnson.
The Titans will try to keep their playoff hopes alive versus the high powered offense of Phillip Rivers and the Chargers.
If you missed the first two Live Blogs check them out: Celtics-Magic, Cavs-Lakers
Merry Christmas everybody! The first game was like a present you play with for 5 minutes to amuse you’re relatives. Now we get the real presents. LA. Cleveland. Kobe. LeBron.
Last year when the two faced off it became an instant classic. Kobe was the reigning MVP at the time, but now it’s LeBron. Who will take it this year? Only time will tell. One things for sure, this game will certainly have a huge barring on who wins come August. Read more…
It’s Christmas day and while most people are likely enjoying some Christmas cocktails and opening presents I’ve decided to spend this non-holiday (I’m Jewish) hunkered in front of the TV.
What to watch? Well, the NBA and NFL have delivered in the form of two marquee NBA matchups with the Celtics and Magic facing off in a Eastern Conference battle; along with the Cavs faces the Lakers or as I like to call it, the Lebrons facing the Kobes.
And to top it all off we get to watch the Titans and Chris Johnson face the Chargers and Phillip Rivers. Not a bad day of sports TV. Thanks Santa! Read more…
The Boston Bruins signed center Marc Savard to a 7 year contract extension worth just over 28 million dollars last Wednesday. Savard who would have been a free agent this coming off season will likely finish his career in black in gold, which he has been very out spoken about doing. “I think I stated earlier in some articles that I wanted to stay in Boston for the rest of my career and it looks like I’m going to have that chance,” Savard said at a news conference last week. “I’m happy about that. Over the last few years, I’ve watched this town grow back into a hockey town. And, hopefully, our goal as a team and as a staff comes true, that we can bring a (Stanley) Cup back to Boston.”
Savard has been Boston’s leading score for each of the past 3 seasons, and since coming to Boston in 2006 has scored 70 goals and 206 assists over the past 4 years. Savard’s contract will hit the salary cap at about 4.2 million dollars each year, which is very cap friendly for Boston. The deal allows the Bruins to keep cap space, while being able to keep their most productive offensive player, yet it also gives Savard the money that he deserves. Players will similar offensive numbers to his hit their team’s salary cap at around 5.5 million dollars a season.
Savard responded to his new contract last Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs scoring a hat trick in a 7-2 romping, which saw former Bruins wing man Phil Kessel make his return to Causeway Street for the first time since he was traded back in September for a first and a second round draft pick. The first round pick that Boston received for Kessel looks more and more valuable with each Toronto loss. Toronto has the second lowest point’s total. The team with the lowest point total at the end of the season has the best percentage of getting the number 1 overall pick in the draft each year. Read more…
