Eight years ago, Seth Smith was backing up Eli Manning on the Ole Miss football team. Now, he’s backing him up in the headlines. A day after Manning helped the New York Giants reach the NFC title game, Smith was traded to the A’s for Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman. The 29-year-old Smith was rumored to be on the trade market since the start of the offseason, but general manager Dan span<span data-scayt_word="O

Rockies Deal Seth Smith to the A's for Pitching

The consistently under-appreciated outfielder Seth Smith has finally been granted his freedom from the grips of an undefined role in Colorado. While Smith always showed promise, the Rockies maddeningly appeared hesitant to grant him a full time featured role in their outfield. In 2011 Smith hit .284/.347/.483 with 32 doubles, nine triples and 15 home runs. While Smith's lifetime...

It's Business As Usual For the Giants

Some would call what transpired Sunday night an upset or a fluke. Is anyone really suprised by the "upset" though? The Giants went in to Lambeau Field and routed the hometown Packers 37-20.

01/16 (Giants, Wow) Quickie

Hey, don't miss Quickish's NFL stream this morning, with some smart takes on yesterday's games.The Packers were a great story this season -- a mini-dynasty (or standard version) in the making. The Giants waltzing into Lambeau and throttling them is an even better story, the kind of you-kind-of-hope-it-will-happen-but-don't-expect-it-to-happen result that makes sports...

Fun With Extrapolation: Quarterback Edition

So what I did here was extrapolate how many fantasy points quarterbacks would have if they started all 16 games. To make this list you either have to have played 8+ games or have been drafted in fantasy leagues in the top 24 QBs which really is only Peyton Manning and Donovan McNabb. So unfortunately I didn’t add Matt Flynn but if I had he would have averaged 44 fantasy points...

Cowboys Are Best in NFC, Right?

The Dallas Cowboys beat the San Francisco 49ers in "The Stick" with Tony Romo playing with a collapsed lung and broken ribs with a stunning overtime victory in what ended up being the Cowboys' best win of 2011 back in Week 2.
