The Sports Flash: April 2007
http://thesportsflash.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Tuesday's Team: The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On this date in 1974, the National Football League officially awarded a franchise. To the city of Tampa. Later named the Buccaneers, they would join Seattle as the two expansion teams to start play in the 1976 season. Fast forward to the U.S. bicentennial year. The Bucs made their offical debut on Sun., Sept. 12th, but dropped a 20-0 decision to the Oilers at the Houston Astrodome. Beating the Oakland Raiders, 48-21. One last thing: ...

http://thesportsflash.blogspot.com/2007/07/whats-your-favorite-usa-team-of-all.html
Thursday, July 5, 2007. In honor of our nation turning 231 yesterday, let's remember some of the most magnificent national team performances turned in by athletes wearing the red, white and blue. Here goes (in random order):. 1999 USA Women's World Cup Championship Team - I recently saw an HBO special on this team's accomplishment and it brought me back to that summer when Mia, Brandi, Julie and the others on that team captured our hearts. I can't wait to see more fireworks. Subscribe in a reader.

The Sports Flash: Tennis Anyone?
http://thesportsflash.blogspot.com/2007/08/tennis-anyone.html
Sunday, August 26, 2007. I've decided that I'm going to follow the 2007 U.S. Open. That's right, after years of giving the tournament a cursory glance, I'm going to pay attention like a student in the first row of class. The thing is, I love New York's Grand Slam spectacle, and I have memory files lodged in my brain of Jimmy Connors' fist-pumping theatrics, John McEnroe's tenacity, not to mention the overwhelming dominance of players like Pete Sampras, Steffi Graf and Ivan Lendl at the Open. But I also l...

The Sports Flash: May 2007
http://thesportsflash.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 8, 2007. Tuesday's Team: 1969-70 New York Knicks. Here comes Willis, and the crowd is going wild," proclaimed broadcaster Marv Albert back on May 8, 1970. If you were a New York Knickerbockers. Fan, the news that injured Knicks team captain and center Willis Reed. Was in uniform and making his way to the court just before the tipoff of Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals no doubt had you fired you up. Were a team to be reckoned with and their league-best 60 wins proved it. Subscribe in a reader.

The Sports Flash: Tuesday's Team: 1976-77 Portland Trail Blazers
http://thesportsflash.blogspot.com/2007/06/tuesdays-team-1976-77-portland-trail.html
Tuesday, June 5, 2007. Tuesday's Team: 1976-77 Portland Trail Blazers. So how about Portland getting the lucky ping pong ball bounce in the NBA Draft Lottery, landing the right to pick No. 1 in the draft later this month? The prevailing opinion is that Ohio State standout center Greg Oden. Will be wearing the Blazers' red and black uni starting in 2007-08. Will the arrival of Oden cause Blazermania to return in full force? What's even more amazing is that the Blazers had never even made a trip to the pla...

The Sports Flash: Chicago Bears 'T' Time
http://thesportsflash.blogspot.com/2007/12/chicago-bears-t-time.html
Saturday, December 8, 2007. Chicago Bears 'T' Time. Sixty-seven years ago today, the Chicago Bears set an all-time NFL record for the most lopsided win in league history when they shut out the Washington Redskins 73-0. The final score can be included among those numbers that you most often remember in sports history. Like the Babe's 714, Gretzky's 802, Roger Maris's 61 and Jack Nicklaus's 18. The Bears were THE dominant team back in the day. I wonder how they'd do against Mike Ditka's 1986 Bears.

The Sports Flash: December 2007
http://thesportsflash.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 9, 2007. Those tired of hearing about the New England Patriots and their mastery over the rest of the NFL are once again looking to the Pittsburgh Steelers to put an end to another New England winning streak. The Pats, who are 12-0 going into this afternoon's 4:15 pm ET contest at Foxborough, Massachusetts, are just four wins away from becoming just the second team in NFL history to go through an entire regular season with an undefeated mark. It's a great matchup. Brady vs. Big B...The f...
