There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sub-professional baseball teams using gimmicks to sell tickets. If giving away a hilarious pair of boxer shorts on the night of an equally hysterical competition will help fill the stands we’re all …
Since when do guys with credentials heckle players? We’ve all seen reporters ask tough questions and intentionally get under the skin of athletes and coaches to make a good story, but shoving things in superstars faces is a new one for me. As …
When the mayhem that is Tiger Woods‘ life began taking its toll on the man who was once considered the greatest golfer of all-time, the last thing he needed was an injury. Unfortunately for Tiger, he has battled them ever since. It was …
Considering the Jets chose to sign Cheddar Bob over bringing back Braylon Edwards, it is probably safe to assume they didn’t think too highly of the latter. For one thing, Edwards was in search of a contract he isn’t worth. While he had …
Despite the fact that they have done virtually nothing since joining the ACC in 2004, the Miami Hurricanes still carry a celebrity presence. Playing football at The U is something to be proud of. If you can say you go to The U, people immediately …
Anytime a veteran leader joins a new team, there is the question of whether or not that player will be able to keep his old number. More often than not, the new guy gets his way. That is especially the case when the new guy can help you win. …
If you are one of those people who enjoys Olympic basketball and still thinks about the Dream Team, the NBA lockout could put a kink in your plans. If the lockout continues and the upcoming NBA season is cancelled, the Players’ Association will …

Somebody needs to explain the concept of messing with the bull and getting the horns to Logan Morrison. If someone was staring you down wouldn’t you go after them? You don’t just walk around looking at people and expect them not to get …
Everyone knows there are teams in the college football world that take issue with the color of Boise State’s field turf. To many, it is seen as a competitive advantage. Some coaches have made an attempt to have the blue turf removed from …
One lockout has ended and another is looming. Now that football is back, we get to rest our heads — very briefly for NBA fans. The most significant difference that we can see so far between the NFL and NBA lockout situations is NBA players …
After hearing the recent details about the wedding reception of Ben Roethlisberger and Ashley Harlan, I started thinking: there might be a way rich athletes can help stimulate the American economy. If more wealthy athletes and celebrities bite the …
There are a few reasons I would never buy a Henrik and Daniel Sedin combo jersey. For starters, combo jerseys are probably one of the lamest pieces of sports memorabilia you can own. Secondly, Daniel Sedin has been known to guarantee victories for …
Considering they are currently toting a record of 33-69 and are a solid 21 games out of first place in the NL Central, it would be tough for the Houston Astros to blame a loss on anyone but themselves. Rarely does a baseball team get a chance to …
Something about the San Francisco Giants visiting the White House makes me nervous. More specifically, something about two guys like Brian Wilson and Tim Lincecum visiting the White House is concerning. However, the pictures from the Giants’ …
I’m starting to get the feeling Jonathan Toews has the best everything. Two years ago, the Blackhawks captain had the best hockey team in the NHL. This past season, he had by far the most intense “history will be made” commercial …
