Scoreboards

Strikers have arguably the single most important position in the team. Great strikers possess footballing intelligence, a deft first touch, an accurate shot and blistering speed. In this soccer scoreboards article I have listed the best striking partnerships in the league at the moment:

5. Gabriel Agbonlahor & Darren Bent
Agbonlahor and Bent play for Aston Villa. Bent has been in tremendous form this season and is performing at a very high level. Agbonlahor is not playing that well but with Bent beside him this pair has brought hope to Aston Villa’s fans this season, that perhaps they can achieve something yet. Bent has been in form and with the help of Young’s assists he is scoring well for the team. With Bent beside him, Agbonlahor shouldn’t be off form for too much longer. These are the two key players in the teams attacking line up, and Villa has a lot to look forward if they can gel and reach their potential.

Although the season hasn’t ended yet, there is already a clear shortlist of players who are in the race to receive the MVP for their performances. Here are the basketball scoreboards top five candidates:

5. Manu Ginobilli
Manu plays as a shooting guard for the San Antonio Spurs. He is one of the key players of the team and has played a very important role in the team’s success so far. He has earned three NBA rings and now is a probable choice for the MVP this season. He has some fantastic team mates like Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, but with players like these he has still managed to maintain the best scoring record in the team. The basketball scoreboards show that he has scored an average of 18.4 points per game.

Continuing with the baseball scoreboards best player for each team article series; this is the first part in which we take a look at the best players for each team in the American League.

1. Tampa Bay Rays (ED), Carl Crawford, 2002-2010: Recently the Rays have run themselves into a non-performing rut, but it didn’t stop this man from continuing his outstanding performances. He leads his team in all the important stats i.e. BA, SB, RBI, 3B, 2B, H and R. However, he is third HR but it doesn’t dampen his talent. He has won both the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger once, and is also a 4 time All-Star.

The football scoreboards 2010-2011 season was finally put to rest by the clash between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburg Steelers in the Super Bowl XLV, with the Green Bay Packers emerging victorious and crowned as the best team of the season. The game was filled with great moments, the least of which was Christina Aguilera botching the national anthem lyrics! Therefore, before all of us start anticipating the 2011-2012 season, let us glance back at the game to see what the Pittsburg Steelers could have and should have done differently to have lifted the Lombardi trophy. So, here is a football scoreboards list of things, which if the Steelers had done, or not done, might have had a big impact on the final result!

This is a practice started in 1976 by Paul Salata, a former NFL player, who coined the term Mr. Irrelevant. The title is awarded to the player who is the last selected player in the NFL Draft. More often than not, Mr. Irrelevant turns out to be exactly that “irrelevant”! However, sometimes, even though their selecting teams end up cutting them they do break into the team and have to have long careers, with varying degrees of success. Here is a football scoreboards list of the Mr. Irrelevants from the last 6 years, and a glimpse at how their careers have turned out:

This is going to be one long list, which is why this article has been divided into 2 parts. In a baseball scoreboards feature, we are going to look at what makes each player the best for each team and in which year. So, without further ado the first 6 teams and players are:

1 - Florida Marlins (ED, NL), Hanley Ramirez 2006-present: It was a tough choice between Ramirez and Luis Castillo. However, Ramirez has proven to be the best player for the Marlins because in his short 5 years he’s won 2 Silver Sluggers, has been a 3 time All-Star and won the NL ROY in 2006, with a the baseball scoreboards showing that he has a career average of .313 BA and an OBP of .385.

Every team has a few select key players, without whom the team would be at a huge disadvantage. They are the players who play a major role in the team’s progress though the season, and the ones who can single-handedly ruin their team's season if they don't perform to the high standards that are expected of them. In this basketball scoreboards feature, I have identified the BIG Threes of the NBA:

The last two drafts have brought some of the most talented playes to the NBA that we have seen in some time. Blake Griffin, Stephen Curry and John Wall are just a few of these. These new superstars of the NBA will entertain us for many years to come after already secured a place in the hearts of NBA fans. In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have brought together the sophomores that have amazed us the most with their incredible performances:

In a football scoreboards feature, I have reviewed the latest goings on in the NFL labor dispute.

The dispute (fight, battle, war…everything fits!) is over the contract/agreement between the NFL franchise owners and the NFL Players Association. To say that the owners and the NFLPA don’t like each other would be like saying that the Cowboys and Redskins are friendly! Everyone, who pays even the slightest of attention to football, probably knows that a big battle has been going on behind the scenes (or should I say “behind the lines of the football field”!) for the better part of last year and this. However, if you don’t know what the dispute is about, or simply don’t know all the details, let me fill you in!

Soccer scoreboards can reveal that Gary Neville revealed that he is retiring on 2nd February 2011. He was the captain of Manchester United for five years, and was dearly loved by the Man U fans throughout his extensive career with the team. He made his debut for the club in 1992 in the European cup against Tarpedo Moscow in Russia. At that time Manchester United had players like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, and Paul Scholes coming through the ranks. He quickly developed a great partnership with Beckham on the right wing.

All teams have good and bad moments, no matter how outstanding or disappointing the general play of a team is. Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers have made it to the forty fifth Super Bowl, they too have had their share of good and bad moments in the 2010-2011 season. As the final showdown between the Steelers and the Green Bay Packer is still 4 days away, the diehard Steelers fans should be concentrating on the good moments the Steelers have had during this season, to get that positive vibe rolling unto the fated day! Here is the football scoreboards list of the top 3 moments for the Steelers during the regular season of 2010.

Last year’s season was particularly good for pitchers, showcased by the fact that two of the most outstanding pitching teams made it to the World Series. Although, ironically neither of the 2 CY Young award winners were in these teams. Although baseball is very much a team game, it is safe to say that the pitcher is the single most important player on the pitch. To celebrate the importance of the pitcher, I have compiled a baseball scoreboards list of the top 3 best pitching teams in MLB history.
