Is the Mafia Infiltrating Tennis?

Russian tennis player Nikolay Davydenko is being investigated for possibly fixing matches. There have already been players found to be betting on the sport. And coming off the Tim Donaghy scandal in the NBA, we now have John McEnroe who fears that …

At Least the Heisman Bucked a Trend

After seeing how magnificently some of the recent winner performed in the pros, my confidence in the significance of the Heisman Trophy award certainly dwindled. The Heisman does not go to the Most Outsanding Player in college football. Nay, as my …

Mark Cuban Was in Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s Ring Entourage

You’ve already seen my break down of the actual fight, but I just couldn’t resist that screen grab of Wayne Newton. Unbeknownst to me, Mark Cuban, Helio Castroneves, and Wayne Newton, were all in attendance Saturday night to support their …

Mayweather vs. Hatton: A Clash Along Racial Lines?

The thought hadn’t even entered my mind until late Saturday evening, after Mayweather had already dominated Hatton. I was going for Hatton because I had picked him to win, figuring his combination of power, brawn, and desire would catch an …

Karl Dorrell: Duke Football Savior?

I’ve said for quite some time that I wanted Karl Dorrell out as UCLA’s coach. I was happy to finally get my wish this week, but I still maintain that I want Dorrell to succeed, just elsewhere. Well, looks like Dorrell’s opportunity …

Roger Staubach Was Monogamous

And he really wants you to know it. Check out this video from back in the day, as brought to us by Deuce of Davenport. Pretty funny stuff: If you ask me, I’d say he was just trying to put the moves on the chick interviewing him.

Week 14 NFL Picks

Three straight 2-1 weeks. You know what that means? I’m making you money. Every week. We’re now 14-9-1 on the year, a clip over 60% against the spread. For those of you a little new to the game, that’s like batting over .300 in …

Linkage: Worst Sports Announcer

Stephen A. Smith voted worst sports announcer [Awful Announcing] Does anyone want the Arkansas coaching job? [SPORTSbyBROOKS] Paul Davis gets paid to get dunked on [With Leather] Some of the best/worst Chris Berman nicknames ever [100% Injury Rate] …

Dodgers Stole Andruw Jones

OK, maybe it wasn’t exactly a heist, but it was a great signing by the LA club. After watching the Angels drop $90 mil on Torii Hunter, the Dodgers spent about a third the price on Andruw Jones, who is a superior player. Just when I thought …

Wednesday Was a Bad Day to Be Louisiana Tech

I bring this news to you, only because I’ve never seen anything like it before. Texas Tech beat Lousiana Tech 86-31 on Wednesday night in Lubbock. The 31 points might not look like much to you, but I’ll tell you, they were hard earned. …

Jason Kidd Calls in Sick to Work

I guess there’s some sort of clause in his contract that gives him sick days. In case you missed it, the news of the night was that the Knicks actually won a game. When you look a little deeper, you see it’s because the Nets were without …

If an Unknown Player Makes a Guarantee, Does it Really Count?

Some dude I’ve never even heard of went out on a limb yesterday and guaranteed a Steelers victory over the Patriots Sunday. And no, I’m not talking about some lame caller on a talk show making the claim. It was actually a Steelers player. …

Fred Taylor Is Sick of Reggie Bush

No, this isn’t some elaborate quote of Fred Taylor running his mouth because the Jags are facing the Saints this week. It’s something small, that probably went unnoticed by most. In the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, Fred Taylor was …

Anna Kournikova Might Be Engaged

Like I posted at FanHouse, the rumors are floating that Anna Kournikova might have gotten engaged to Enrique Iglesias. I for one, am not a fan of this news. Last we heard, Iglesias had no plans to marry or have kids with Kournikova (thank goodness). …

Linkage: Jewish Jordan Is Back

An update on the Jewish Jordan, Tamir Goodman [Shakedownsports] Tiger fans are stoked about the Miguel Cabrera trade [Mack Avenue Tigers] China regulating the cheers fans can give in Olympics [100% Injury Rate] Mets pitcher John Maine a …

Venus Williams Is a College Graduate

And she would make Van Wilder proud. The super-duper senior will be walking across stage next week following nearly a decade of academic rigors. The reward, Venus Williams is now a college graduate: Venus Williams will be adding another …
