Tigers & Tides: What To Expect From LSU vs....
If you’re looking for long runs, sweet spirals traveling 40 yards before dropping into the arms of a wide receiver, or big numbers in the scoring column, the BCS Championship Game between LSU and Alabama might not be the game for you. If you recall, the last time these two got together last November, the Tigers needed overtime to beat the Crimson Tide 9-6 in an overtime game that featured...

NFL: Recapping A Wild Start To Wildcard Weekend
Bengals at Texans
A playoff win for either the Houston Texans or Cincinnati Bengals would have been a feel good story given both teams’ histories. While the 31-10 Texans victory was certainly fantastic for the organization and its fans, it doesn’t change the fact that most of the game was ugly as hell! This one was sloppy for both teams for quite some time, but finally, ...

No Bull: Miami Dog Ban Nearly Kept Star Pitcher...
Pitcher Mark Buehrle found himself between a rock and a hard place when it came time to sign his name on the dotted line in Miami. Before agreeing to a four-year, $58 million dollar contract with the Marlins in December, the lefty had to figure out how he and his family could move to South Florida because of a law banning various breeds of Pit Bulls in Miami-Dade County,...

Dissecting The Undefeated In College Basketball
The last team to come close to finishing a regular season undefeated was St. Joe’s back in 2004. In fact, they did technically go unbeaten in the regular season (27-0), before losing the quarter-final round game of the A-10 conference tournament heading into March Madness. As talented as Syracuse, Baylor, Missouri and Murray State may be, all four of the nation’s currently...

Sports Makes For Strange Courtside Chats
Ahhh, the life of a celebrity in L.A. Cindy Crawford and Alex Rodriguez were shown chatting courtside at the Lakers game against the Rockets at Staples Center on Tuesday night. Don’t bother starting any rumors as the supermodel’s husband, Rande Gerber was sitting next to his wife, also talking with A-Rod.
It looks like Crawford, Gerber and the Yankees third baseman genuinely...

After Concussion & Grand Mal Seizure, Chargers G...
On a day when the San Diego Chargers dominated sports media, the real lead got buried between the news of head coach Norv Turner keeping his job and owner Dean Spanos saying he could not say with certainty that the team would still be in San Diego next season. The most important news out of Chargers camp today was comments made by left guard Kris Dielman who spoke publicly...

In More Than 140 Characters, Urban Meyer Bans...
Update - 5:30 p.m. EST: To tweet, or not to tweet? That is now the question surrounding Urban Meyer. As I, and several other media outlets reported Tuesday morning, word spread that the new Ohio State football coach had banned his players from using twitter (read the original post below). But now the tune has suddenly changed as Buckeye players are once again taking to their still-existing...

Dennis Rodman Has A New Gig… Coaching A Topless...
The world would be a far less entertaining place without Dennis Rodman. The former NBA rebound gobbler is known for pulling stunts and pushing the envelope. From staging a personal sit-in on the court during a game to wearing a wedding dress to promote his book, Rodman has seemingly seen and done it all. But leave it to the creative mind of the five-time NBA champion to find yet another way...

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson Rings In 2012 With A...
2011 turned out to be a pretty rough year for Adrian Peterson. Well, signing a seven-year, $100 million contract extension wasn’t too bad, but it was all downhill from there for the Minnesota Vikings running back. Instead of studying his playbook or playing video games in the hotel room the night before the Vikings season finale against the Chicago Bears, the four-time Pro Bowl selection...

LeBron James To Take His Talents Down The Aisle in...
No wonder that Miami Heat vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game was so close the other night! Perhaps LeBron James had a case of cold feet and shaky hands during the Heat’s game in Minneapolis on Friday, but if he did, James didn’t show it as the South Beach star logged 34 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists in a near-loss to the Timberwolves. Less than 24 hours after Miami’s...

Clean Ride: Reggie Bush Thanks His O-Line With...
No, Dolphins running back Reggie Bush didn’t buy Bentleys or Escalades (those are so 2001, I know) for his teammates on the offensive line; Instead, Bush bought the big men who helped him record the best statistical season of his NFL career something out of the ordinary: the environmentally friendly yet semi-nerdy Segway PT. Each lineman received a Segway (worth around $6,000 each,...

Sour Start To Sugar Bowl: Va Tech Player Out After...
Not only will he not play against No. 13 Michigan in Tuesday’s BCS Sugar Bowl, but Virginia Tech spared little expense when sending its senior kicker Tyler Weiss home to Roanoke on a bus. Yes, 833 miles on a bus. OUCH. What did the young fellow do to deserve a one-way ticket out of Crescent City? He was nowhere to be found when a coach came to his hotel room for 1:00 a.m. bed...

Rival Commonalities: Should Celtics And Lakers...
Before the Celtics’ first victory of the season on Friday night, there was plenty of panic running up and down Causeway Street as Boston began the season with an 0-3 slump. Meanwhile a familiar foe was going through a similar situation out west as the Lakers lost their first two games of the season causing folks to practically crown the Clippers as the new kings of Los Angeles hoops. ...
