The name Bill James should be familiar to all baseball fans who read Moneyball and to fans who follow the Red Sox. As a pioneer of several new-era statistics, James used to publish his Baseball Abstract from ’77-’88 on a yearly basis. His …
Earlier in the week, we questioned the reason for Allen Iverson’s release by the 76ers. He had been reasonably effective with the team — well worth a roster spot — and he had expressed a huge desire to play following his release by …
Brett Favre’s first true public appearance since his interception to Tracy Porter in the NFC Championship Game was an interview on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Favre of course didn’t offer much on his NFL future saying: “Well …
In yet another example of how the world has turned into a bizarro universe, Texas A&M Commerce football coach Guy Morriss actually had positive words for his players following their alleged theft of newspapers on campus. Part of the reason why …

Last time we heard from BYU senior Jonathan Tavernari, he was in the middle of a Holy War skirmish between BYU and Utah. Not much has changed for the 6’6″ forward. Tavernari was guarding New Mexico star player Darington Hobson with 52 …

The NFL has finally wised up and realized the current overtime system is flawed. Nearly 70% of teams that win the coin flip preceding the extra quarter elect to receive the ball and wind up winning the game in sudden death. Does that sound like a …
Jason Kidd had a one-of-a-kind type of day on Friday night in Atlanta. He scored 19 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and dished 17 assists. That was one of only six 15, 15, 15 games in the history of the NBA, one of which was accomplished previously by …
