Boise State had the biggest disappointment of any team this college football season. Instead of going undefeated and playing in a BCS Bowl Game (possibly the Rose Bowl?), they lost to Nevada on two missed kicks and wound up in the lowly Las Vegas …
By now we all know about the miracle at the New Meadowlands where the Eagles scored 28 points in the final eight minutes of the game to come back and beat the Giants 38-31. Surprisingly punter Matt Dodge was not fired this week despite punting to …
Even when he’s not playing Tony Romo manages to stay in the spotlight. The Cowboys quarterback, who has been out nearly two months with a broken collarbone, was finally placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Dallas was hoping Romo would be able to …
About a year ago, Steve Czaban’s long-running morning show was canceled by FOX Sports Radio and replaced by Stephen A. Smith. The idea was to provide a different sound from the competition in the East Coast morning drive slot. Stephen A. did …
Manny Pacquiao, fresh off a dominating win over Antonio Margacheato, was recently named HBO’s Boxing Ambassador of the Year. It’s an extremely well deserved honor for a man who has become the most popular and prominent figure in the …
If ESPN’s headquarters were not located in Bristol, Connecticut, do you think the story of UConn’s women’s basketball team would be as prominent as it is now? Neither do I. But apparently all the coverage they receive on a regular …

What better way to draw some interest to a meaningless game like the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl than adding a little boxing press conference spice? That’s exactly what happened on Sunday in St. Petersburg at the Beach Bash which …
After saying in October that he would spend whatever it takes to get the Angels back into the playoffs, the best owner in sports has let his actions contradict his words. Angels fans including myself thought that Carl Crawford was coming to town, …
Wide receiver Terrell Owens ended his season in about the most fitting fashion possible: catchless. Actually, T.O. was playing well for the Bengals who had lost 10 in a row before beating the Browns Sunday, but his mouth apparently was becoming a …
If you thought the Patriots were going to hammer the Packers on Sunday night because Matt Flynn was in for Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, you’re not alone. I think we all can raise our hands if we were asked that question. That also means …
With their 9th straight playoff appearance on the line at home against the Jaguars, the Colts scratched out a 34-24 win. Jacksonville has to be extremely disappointed with the loss because a win would have given them their first ever AFC South title. …
Matt Cassel may have been a disappointment for the Chiefs last year, but the sixth year quarterback is earning his pay this season. Cassel has played turnover-free football, throwing for 24 touchdowns and only five interceptions all season. In fact, …
If the 6-8 record didn’t already tell you the Seattle Seahawks were in trouble this season, their thoughts of naming Charlie Whitehurst the starting quarterback should spell out their problems. Seattle got blitzed at home by the Falcons 34-18, …
Prior to Sunday, no NFL game had ever ended on a punt return for a touchdown. Thanks to the Giants, that streak has been broken. After blowing a 31-10 lead with 7:28 left in the game, the Giants were punting on the final play of regulation to try and …
