Lolo Jones doesn’t care about NBC’s tape delay of the Olympics

Adrian Peterson sent to hospital after allergic reaction to seafood

Adrian Peterson‘s far-from-boring offseason continued when he was rushed to the hospital on Monday with an allergic reaction to seafood. Peterson is fine now but it was indeed a scary moment for him and the team when the running back’s …

Missy Franklin flips after Justin Bieber congratulates her over Twitter

Missy Franklin was probably in heaven after winning her first gold medal at the Olympics on Monday, but little did she know another amazing surprise was yet to come. The 17-year-old received a congratulatory tweet from teen heartthrob Justin Bieber …

Kirk Gibson thinks it’s weird having a Dodgers bobblehead as D-backs manager

The Dodgers held a Kirk Gibson bobblehead giveaway on Tuesday night to celebrate the former slugger’s memorable pinch-hit home run in the 1988 World Series. Though the gesture was cool, and the idea to have the figurine’s fist pump also …

Carmelo Anthony and Mike D’Antoni seem to be getting along at the Olympics

When we last saw Mike D’Antoni, he was resigning as the Knicks coach, seemingly as the fall guy in an alleged contentious relationship with his star player Carmelo Anthony. That was in March. Now, after moping around in his PJ’s, …

Phillies will still give away Hunter Pence bobbleheads despite trade

Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline gave us a Phillies mini-firesale, with the club shipping two-thirds of its starting outfield westward. Not too long after trading Shane Victorino to the Dodgers, the last-place Phillies sent right fielder Hunter …

Kobe Bryant autographs shoe for opponent after US clobbers Tunisia (Video)

Only the most delusional fan would have genuinely believed Tunisia had a chance to beat Team USA on Tuesday. In fact, I highly doubt even Tunisia thought Tunisia was going to win. After getting off to a relatively slow start, the US took a 46-33 lead …

Rapper Wale nicknames Robert Griffin III ‘Thrizzle’ (Video)

Robert Griffin III is only entering his rookie season, and he already has more than one nickname. There is the popular “RG3” that he earned in college, but Osi Umenyiora doesn’t believe he deserves a “cool” nickname like …

Antonio Cromartie says he is the second-best receiver on the Jets roster

Outside of new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, nobody really knows what the Jets are planning to do with their offense this season. At this point it wouldn’t shock me if that includes Rex Ryan, who we all know is a defensive-minded coach. …

Elin Nordegren reportedly dating NHL player Douglas Murray

As Elin Nordegren continues to move on with her life after Tiger Woods, a recent report indicates she has made her way back into the world of professional sports. Nordegren broke up with Jamie Dingman a couple of months ago after some speculation …

Former Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones, who has been accused of having sex with a student while she was a teacher at Dixie Heights High School in Kentucky, is not one of those people who doesn’t care what everyone is saying about her and …

Red Sox outfielder Ryan Sweeney headed to DL after breaking pinkie punching door

When will they learn? All too often when professional athletes are angry with themselves for letting their teams down, they let them down even more by injuring themselves in frustration. The latest victim (culprit?) is Red Sox outfielder Ryan …

Redskins players using iPads to anonymously talk trash to each other

Over the past year or so, the NFL has been discovering new ways to use iPads. Some teams have thrown out their playbooks and replaced them with iPads, which has to be incredibly convenient for players who used to have to carry a massive binder full …

Olympic spectator kisses reporter on the cheek on live television (Video)

Olympic competition is unlike any other in that it brings together millions of spectators and athletes from all over the globe, and that can lead to some strange happenings. Take the video you see above, for example. An Arabic reporter for Sky News …

Brazilian bronze medalist Felipe Kitadai accidentally breaks medal in the shower

Now this is what we call an ironic story. You know how Olympians are oftentimes so proud after winning a medal that they don’t let it leave their side, even if it means sleeping with it and wearing it around their neck while they’re …

Vanessa Bryant reportedly ‘furious’ over Kobe Bryant partying, shirtless pictures

It may have been a coincidence of timing that got Kobe Bryant in trouble during Team USA’s visit to Barcelona, but the situation has reportedly angered his wife regardless. Last week, Team USA was at a social event in Spain and some photos …
