August 17, 2012 StayTuned Staff

The new season of English Premier League soccer kicks off this weekend with a must-watch match between Arsenal and Sunderland. Just days before the start of a new Premier League season, Arsenal skipper Robin van Persie has officially jumped ship. He signed a four-year contract, worth a reported 200,000 pounds per week, with rival Manchester United. Although the prolific striker scored 30 goals to win the Golden Boot last year, it isn’t easy to see how he would fit into Sir Alex Ferguson’s already stacked lineup. Even more difficult is to judge how the transfer will affect Arsenal’s chances for […]

2012 NFL preseason TV schedule

August 1, 2012 Ryan Berenz

RELATED: 2012 NFL TV schedule The Denver Broncos were a mile high on Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow took Manhattan, the New Orleans Saints paid for their sins, and other cliches. In the span of two days in March, the Broncos had signed longtime Indianapolis Colts quarterback Manning, who missed all of the 2011 season following neck surgery. The Broncos traded adored/derided quarterback Tebow to the New York Jets, immediately starting a quarterback controversy with incumbent Mark Sanchez. And the league came down heavy on Saints coaches and players as a result of the team’s bounty program, including suspending head coach […]

July 18, 2012 Tom Comi

Raise your hand if you had Webb Simpson winning the U.S. Open last month and Bubba Watson donning the green jacket after this April’s Masters. Chances are there aren’t many honest people raising their hand right now, and therein lies what is so great about professional golf today. With the British Open teeing off tomorrow morning, there are many more questions than answers about who will walk away with the prestigious Claret Jug. Similar to the U.S. Open, the British Open is oftentimes more about about survival than simply sheer talent. The golfers who best navigate the challenging Royal Lytham […]
