Brown Bag it, Baby
For guys like Kobe Bryant and Metta World Peace who were accustomed to playing for Phil Jackson, a transition period was inevitable when Mike Brown took over the Lakers. No two coaches have an identical style, so any coaching change is bound to take …
A new Manny Pacquiao is taking form before our eyes, and it will be interesting to see what that means for his boxing career. Once known for his extramarital affairs, gambling, and drinking habits, Pacquiao is returning to his religious roots learned …
How thoughtful. Mark Sanchez tweeted the above photo to Santonio Holmes on Tuesday, along with an accompanying message that read, “You want to be my Valentine?” Maybe this is a good place for Sanchez to start. He and Santonio don’t …
If Manny Pacquiao wasn’t a Jeremy Lin fan to begin with, he probably became one yesterday when Floyd Mayweather Jr. made a racist remark about Lin. What more does the Pac Man need? He certainly doesn’t want to be like Floyd Jr., so if you …
And another one bites the dust. This old story shouldn’t surprise us by now, but for some reason it is still just as shocking to hear. Allen Iverson made more than $150 million during a career in which he was one of the NBA’s best …
On paper, it appeared as though the match-up on Saturday between No. 6 Ohio State and No. 7 Michigan State could have gone either way. Anytime two top-10 teams meet, the outcome is difficult to predict. One would assume both sides would understand …
Apparently Oxford Hills School District football coach Paul Withee was never taught the most important rule of sending naked pictures to your girlfriend: make sure they don’t end up on social media sites for everyone to see. According to WMTW …

Aside from the Clippers and the teams that did not want to see the Lakers improve, there were very few people who were pleased with the way the NBA handled the Chris Paul trade. Paul forced his way out of New Orleans, which is precisely the type of …
Does that sum it all up or does that sum it all up? A few days ago Kobe Bryant didn’t know anything about Jeremy Lin. In fact, he was downright frustrated when reporters kept asking him about Lin. It’s not like the questions were coming …
Overpaid players like Brandon Jacobs just don’t get it sometimes. When the team you are currently playing could decide you aren’t worth the nearly $5 million they would have to pay to retain you, it’s best to not burn any bridges …
Jeremy Lin is a bit of a mystery. How a kid from Harvard who was cut twice by NBA teams has become one of the league’s best players is truly baffling. All of us are confused about it in a way, but we certainly know why he has gotten so much …
Tommy Lasorda is one of baseballs most well-known global icons. In addition to leading the Dodgers to two World Series titles in the 1980s, Lasorda also managed in the Dominican Republic for three seasons in the 1970s, winning two championships and …
Over the past week or so, we have heard plenty of entertaining Jeremy Lin comparisons. Lin said he takes a lot of inspiration from Tim Tebow and you could argue that their stories are somewhat similar. Both began the season on the bench and provided …
