Derek Lowe pitched an admirable Game 4 for the Braves in the NLDS against the Giants. Coming back on short rest, the veteran went six and a third innings of two-hit ball, leaving with a 2-1 lead. Manager Bobby Cox came out for a visit after two men …
Lost in the busy NFL Sunday (to everyone except Phillies and Reds fans) was how well Cole Hamels pitched for the Phillies giving them the NLDS sweep. The 26-year-old southpaw was sensational throwing a complete game shutout against the National …
As if losing to South Carolina on Saturday wasn’t already bad enough for Alabama, they found out that wide receiver Julio Jones also broke his hand in the game. Coach Nick Saban announced that Jones broke the hand in the first half of the game …
So I already told you about Jonathan Quick’s awesome retro look in the Kings’ opener on Saturday night in Vancouver. He was sporting old-school pads and a Rogie Vachon-style mask and looked sweet in their win. What I left out of that post …
It feels like we’ve been down this road so many times before so I really don’t even know why I’m bothering, but this must be addressed. Nuggets icon Chris Birdman Andersen is already well known for his wild hairstyles and crazy …
Six years into his NFL career, former Oklahoma receiver Mark Clayton was having his best season. Acquired by St. Louis during the preseason, he became an instant favorite of rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, catching 23 balls for 306 yards and two …
The Chargers’ offense looked great on Sunday, roasting the Raiders for 506 total yards, 415 of them coming in the air. Despite the impressive output, they managed to lose to the Raiders for the first time in 14 games, falling 35-27 in Oakland. …
After all the great college football ended on Saturday evening, I had a chance to watch some of the Kings’ opener against the Canucks. Hanging out with my cousin Corey for his birthday celebration, one thing stood out to all of us immediately …
Alex Smith was awful for the 49ers on Sunday night against the Eagles. In other words, he played like usual. Though San Francisco fans still are holding out hope that their former top overall pick can be the franchise quarterback, I have continuously …
It’s always fun to watch the pregame player intros on NBC. They play a video-recorded clip of each player saying his name and his school. Many players say announce their school with pride, and most mention their colleges. Some players who …
If TV channels didn’t already know to keep a live mic away from Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum, then they just learned it again the hard way. A week after dropping an f-bomb during an interview after the Giants won the NL West, TBS cameras showed …
Brett Favre first got into trouble when Deadspin wrote that the quarterback inappropriately contacted former Jets employee Jenn Sterger when both were with the team. The story seemed to go away, but it was revived this week when Deadspin released …
Brooks Conrad was somewhat of a novelty for the Atlanta Braves this year. The 30-year-old backup infielder saw plenty of action with Chipper Jones in and out of the lineup and he got a starting spot when Martin Prado was knocked out for the year with …
Sunday seemed like a nightmare scenario for the Green Bay Packers at FedEx Field. Not only did they blow a 13-3 lead and a game in which they were dominant, losing 16-13 in overtime, but they also lost several key players against the Redskins. The …
The Patriots shocked the league when they traded Randy Moss to the Vikings early in the week. With the surprising trade coming together so quickly, it feels like we’re learning more and more information on a daily basis that explains why the …
During the week, it was the Batman portion of the dynamic duo who had used twitter to start a controversy describing sexual escapades. On Sunday, it was Robin responsible for the mini-controversy. Less than an hour before Cincinnati’s game …
