Sports Predictions, Rankings & Analysis
We Now Have Box Scores | Site Update
Last week we added a feature that's been on our to-do list for a long time: box scores for all the sports we cover. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's a small step toward exposing as much information as possible. Each sport's box score includes a few pieces of valuable info you won't find in your typical ESPN report.
Is LeBron James The Best Since Michael Jordan? More Data & ESPN Reaction
In an ESPN Insider article published Tuesday, TR's Austin Link laid out evidence in support of the claim that LeBron James is the best NBA player since Michael Jordan, despite LeBron's big fat zero in the most important statistic of all: championship rings. Reactions from commenters were mixed, but those of Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless weren't.
Has The Compacted NBA Season Resulted In More Injuries?

How Derrick Rose's Injury Affects The NBA Playoffs

2012 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Second Round Predictions
As the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs rolled around, we made first round predictions based on a slightly modified version of the power ratings we use for other sports. Those predictions did fairly well, going 1 for 2 on upset predictions. Now that the second round is set, we've re-calculated the ratings and forecast the winner and length of the next four series. We're expecting one higher seed to bite the dust.
