With the 2011 NFL regular season in the books, the Colts have secured the first overall pick in next year’s draft. Now the question becomes what they will do with it. At this point it looks like the most likely scenario will be the Colts …
If you’re going to win ugly, you might as well win ugly in the Sugar Bowl. Despite racking up a measly 184 yards of total offense, Michigan defeated Virginia Tech in overtime Tuesday night to win the Sugar Bowl. Virginia Tech had 377 yards of …
Troy Murphy has been kicking around the NBA for 10 years. He is a veteran to the league, but a rookie to the Lakers. In limited time this season, Murphy has averaged just over three rebounds and six assists per game. He’s clearly still getting …
Robert Griffin III loves his themed socks. At first I thought he used his socks as a means of gathering more attention, but now I’m convinced he just likes rocking childish stuff on his feet. We all remember the Superman socks RG3 busted out …
Mike Tomlin has confirmed once again why he is my favorite coach in the NFL. The Steelers are playing the Broncos in Denver Sunday for the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Putting aside that it’s utterly asinine for a 12-4 team to face an 8-8 …
If there’s one thing Aubrey Huff has lacked since leaving Tampa Bay in 2006, it’s consistency. He’s had bad seasons and followed them with good ones. That has been the case with the Giants. In 2009, Huff hit 26 home runs and OPSd …

The 49ers finished the season 13-3 and are tied for the second-best record in the NFL behind the Packers. They earned the second seed in the NFC playoffs and will have a first-round bye. Their success is one of the biggest surprises in the NFL, but …
Looks like Rick Perry isn’t the only Republican candidate to invoke a Tim Tebow reference recently. Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann has an ad where she is compared to Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. The video was uploaded to YouTube a …
On Sunday, Chan Gailey decided he was sick of Stevie Johnson’s antics. When Johnson scored a touchdown against the Patriots and lifted up his jersey to reveal a “Happy New Year!” message on his undershirt, Gailey decided to bench …
