I've long thought that Championship Sunday would make for a better party than Super Bowl Sunday. Obviously you get two presumably good games, which means double the time to gorge yourself on food and booze. You would eliminate some of the guests who ask tons of questions because the Super Bowl is the... Read More
Most people who have played basketball or even just shot around at a park have taken some heaves from half-court. Sometimes they go in, most times they hit nothing or comically ricochet away. But at Friday night's Atlanta Hawks game, a season ticket holder plucked from the crowd to try a half-court shot... Read More
Usually, commercials don't merit a post, but this new Nike ad featuring Tiger Woods and his heir apparent, Rory McIlroy is pretty great. The two of them are on the driving range when they start smack talking each other over shots at the pin, which leads to shots in the cup, which leads to shots in all... Read More
LeBron James made his NBA debut in 2003 on the road in Sacramento. LeBron proved he belonged immediately, scoring 25 points, grabbing nine boards, dishing six assists and getting four steals. That pic on the left is from that game, and the pic on the right is from Saturday when the Heat blew out the... Read More
The Lakers got their first win of 2013, beating the woeful Cavaliers 113-93 at Staples Center. The game was never really in question after the first quarter, though L.A. did let Cleveland cut the lead in the second half. It was Metta World Peace who showed his softer side during one sequence. MWP... Read More
Even if you aren't a fan of any of the teams who were still in the NFL playoffs, those were some great games to watch this weekend. The Baltimore and Denver double OT thriller was quite possibly one of the top three or four postseason games ever. San Francisco showed that they are for real, and Colin... Read More
Two games Saturday and two games on Sunday again. The NFL Playoffs are back to make your weekend that much better. Baltimore and Denver get things started, and while I've seen a few pundits taking the Ravens in an upset, I'm not buying into that. Baltimore plays way better at home, and playing in Denver...

Poor Pete Rose. No, I'm not talking about baseball, I'm talking about the 71-year-old's fiancee's decision to get her breasts reduced. It seems Rose is still having a hard time accepting that it happened. Pete and former Playboy model Kiana Kim are set to star in a new reality series, Hits and Mrs.... Read More
Outkast's Big Boi went on ESPN's First Take to talk about this weekend's playoff game between the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks and offered some advice for his hometown gentlemen's clubs. The ATL native said he hoped that the Falcons' players would stay in and make it a Blockbuster night, but... Read More
Miami Heat forward Shane Battier was clearly not meant to be a singer. Still, Battier didn't let that small fact get in the way of him completely murdering the theme to 1970s and 80s classic camp TV show The Love Boat. The logical question of course is why in the world is Battier torturing our ears like... Read More
San Diego State's Jamaal Franklin is kind of a freak, in basketball terms. Normally, 6'5" guards aren't rebounding machines, but Franklin averages 10.5 a game, and nearly two blocks to go along with his 17.4 points. But in last night's game against Fresno State, it was Franklin's highlight reel dunk... Read More
During last night's Spurs and Lakers game, there was an odd delay where the players were just standing around the court after a timeout. Turns out the refs were holding the game up because the TV commercials had to run and the NBA and ESPN don't really care for action to start before the cameras are... Read More
Boston Celtics forward Jeff Green scored a team high 14 points in their win over Phoenix, and he brought the home crowd to its feet on consecutive plays last night with two rim rattling dunks. All of this on the one year anniversary of his open heart surgery. Green drove the lane and threw down a... Read More
The NBA may be heading back to Seattle with a deal pending for the Sacramento Kings to be sold to a Seattle investment group. Curiously, ESPN hasn't reported this news despite it being tweeted more than 90 minutes ago by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski. They really hate being scooped, but even when they are,... Read More
