The A.J. Burnett signing has not worked out for the New York Yankees. Last year, he finished the season with a record of 10-15 to go along with a 5.26 ERA. This season has been nearly as bad, with Burnett toting an 8-9 record and an ERA of 4.60. …
Once again, we are big advocates for instant replay in baseball here at LBS. Like the MLB’s oldest manager, we think it can only help the game. That being said, accountability and the use of instant replay are two completely different …
Think about how careful teams try to be when their top players are rehabbing an injury. Now think about Stephen Strasburg and how much he means to the Nationals organization. With that in mind, it is no surprise that Washington is taking extreme …
Sports reporters have a tendency — one that can be very annoying — to harp on cliches when asking coaches questions. Coaches must get tired of answering questions like, “Do your guys lack toughness?” or, “Does your team …
The NFL is set to begin testing for HGH, possibly as early as Week 1 of the upcoming season. Colts receiver Anthony Gonzalez believes the league is going to find a lot once testing is underway. According to the Indy Star, Gonzalez said he would not …
If you’re going to grow a mustache then grow a mustache. Some people can’t grow a good stache, and that’s perfectly fine. However, you should know if you are one of those people by the time you’re 34 years old. A.J. …
When David Ortiz barged into the interview room and interrupted Terry Francona’s press conference last week, it left us all slightly confused. There was no denying the spaz attack was real. Ortiz, Francona, and the young lady who was trying …
Sorry people, more bad tattoos. Considering Chris Bosh and Andre Kirilenko are both big names in the NBA, we thought it would be appropriate to compare their ridiculously large back tattoos. Which one do you think is worse? Check them out: …
Why is it that Jerry Rice is considered the greatest receiver of all time? Is it because he had the best quarterbacks? They were pretty good. Is it because he has the most natural-born talent? He has quite a bit of that, too. Or is it just …
For those of you who missed it, Dennis Hallman made an interesting wardrobe selection over the weekend at UFC 133. His banana hammock made headlines everywhere, and the trunks were so small his berries even made a disturbing appearance during his …
If you think signing young teenagers to a sports contract or offering middle schoolers scholarships is wrong, this story will set you through the roof. We all know how serious Real Madrid fans take their team. Real Madrid is the king of Spain in …

What happened at UFC 133 Saturday night will change the sport forever. We’re not talking about an epic battle between two fighters that will effect the way everyone views mixed martial arts. No, this particular change comes more in the form of …
Chances are the ball happened to hit the screen just right or on a weak spot, but that’s still fun to see. We have seen Aroldis Chapman blow up radar guns many times before (see this pitch and this pitch), but throwing a ball through the …
A lot of people find golf to be boring. Some people enjoy playing golf once in a while but would rather watch paint dry than sit down and enjoy the Masters at Augusta. Charity golf tournaments bring people a bit more joy, in that you can play golf …
College football teams schedule their non-conference games with one of two goals in mind: to pick up an easy win or build their strength of schedule. By scheduling Boise State as one of their non-conference opponents, Georgia was hoping to give …
