Seattle, which had its NBA team ripped away after the 2007-08 season, may be getting a second chance at getting a team again. Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski just tweeted this: The Maloofs are finalizing an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings to the Hansen-Ballmer led Seattle group, sources tell... Read More
The Lakers lost again last night, this time to the Houston Rockets. That's not really newsworthy anymore. But during a timeout, something kind of nasty went down. Steve Nash, who joined the 10,000 career assist club, was wiping himself down before returning to the court. No big deal, Nash just wanted... Read More
The Indiana Pacers nearly took out the Miami Heat in last year's NBA Playoffs, and last night they showed that they're still a tough matchup for LeBron James and company. The Pacers walked off their home court with an 87-77 win behind Paul George's 29 points. The 77 was a season low for the Heat. But... Read More
Rob Parker made himself a national news story in mid-December when he questioned Washington Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III's blackness. Parker wondered if RG3 was a 'brother or a cornball brother.' ESPN responded to the outcry over Parker's rant by suspending him for 30 days. Parker ended... Read More
No big surprises from Vegas this weekend on the NFL lines. The home team is favored in each of the four games. Things get cracking on Saturday with the Ravens traveling to Denver to take on the Broncos. The oddsmakers have the Broncos as an 8.5 point favorite right now and I really can't see that changing...

Alabama won their third BCS Championship in four years last night, steamrolling Notre Dame 42-14. The architect behind this new dynasty is of course head coach Nick Saban. Saban is famous for his icy exterior, his monotone press conferences and interviews and general blase attitude towards anything that... Read More
It used to be that the crossover move was reserved for guards and, well, shorter dudes. Tim Hardaway was the master of the killer crossover back in the 90s and it was called the 'UTEP two-step' when he was devastating guys with it in college. But with the evolution of the game, bigger guys are doing... Read More
I guess maybe those reports of Dwight Howard trying to attack Kobe Bryant in the locker room might not have been accurate. Or maybe they were and this is Kobe and Dwight's way of saying it's over. Either way, Kobe tweeted the above photo out after the story of the two nearly coming to blows because Kobe... Read More
I swear this isn't going to be the Los Angeles Lakers news and information site, but this one's kind of big. Dwight Howard has a torn labrum in his right shoulder and will most likely miss a lot of time. I'm kind of guessing, but since he's not even going to be re-examined for a week, I think it's a...

It what turned out to be an eerily prophetic look at things to come for the Minnesota Vikings, a local cameraman unloaded on a female reporter doing a live shot before Minnesota and Green Bay kicked off on Saturday. Lee Valsvik was doing a report from a restaurant, presumably to give the locals some... Read More
There wasn't much in the way of explanation on Saturday night as to why Christian Ponder wasn't starting at quarterback for the Vikings against the Packers. It wasn't until later, and after poor Joe Webb was 11-30 for 180 yards with a TD and a pick, that we found out Ponder couldn't play thanks to a... Read More
And then there were eight. Wild Card Weekend in the NFL didn't provide a ton of drama, but it had its moments. Robert Griffin III's knee bending a way knees aren't supposed to should lead to an interesting offseason for the Redskins. That field was a joke and an embarrassment and unquestionably played...

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped another home game last night, losing to the Denver Nuggets 112-105. The Lakers big three seemed to do okay; Kobe Bryant had 29 points, Dwight Howard had 14 points and 26 rebounds and Steve Nash added 13 assists and 10 points. It obviously wasn't enough, but it's something... Read More
It was a rough day for Toronto's DeMar DeRozan against Oklahoma City. In 33 minutes of play, DeRozan shot just 4-16 and had a couple of turnovers in the Raptors' 104-92 loss to the Thunder. Making matters worse, DeRozan found himself guarding Kevin Durant on the left wing on a play and that's when things... Read More
The best postseason tournament in professional sports begins this weekend, as the NFL Playoffs get going with two games on Saturday and two on Sunday. The Cincinnati Bengals travel to Houston to face the Texans in Saturday's first game. This should be a great matchup, especially with Houston looking... Read More
