The Wizards are the second-worst team in the East but that doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to play for. At the least, JaVale McGee and company can still make the highlight shows with spectacular plays like this one. Check out this …
I don’t know if the Yankees brought in Pedro Cerrano to perform some voodoo this spring or what, because they’ve had a lot of success waking players from the dead this month. First it was Eric Chavez who hadn’t done anything in the …
There was a benches-clearing incident in Jupiter, Florida during the spring training game between the Nats and Cardinals on Monday. It all started when Nationals outfielder Nyjer Morgan (he of the legendary fit fame) bumped into Cardinals first …
Tennesse coach Bruce Pearl was fired on Monday after six successful years as the school’s basketball coach. The charismatic man ended up losing his job for committing NCAA violations and then lying about his actions to the NCAA and his school. …
