Blake Griffin dunking on people isn't exactly breaking news, but this one from last night can be used in Basketball 101 for a couple of reasons. First off, it's just a ridiculous dunk. Griffin hammers it home after Chris Paul missed a short shot on a fast break. But this was a 'teachable moment' for... Read More
Former NBA superstar Tracy McGrady took his fading talents to the Chinese Basketball Association this season since nobody in the U.S. wanted to give him a job. No shame in it at all, because the talent level is constantly getting better all over the world, and if someone wants to pay you, you play. In... Read More
Hey, look at that, the Eagles broke an eight game skid with a win in Tampa Bay that severely damaged the Buccaneers' playoff hopes. Rookie QB Nick Foles now has a win under his belt. There were plenty of surprises around the NFL this week, including a suddenly potent Carolina Panthers team that gave... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald must feel trapped. Here he is one of the best wide receivers of the day and he is stuck on one of the worst teams that the NFL has seen in years. He’s not just on it; the man is under contract through the 2018 season making him an Arizona Cardinal for life. All his talent means... Read More
When the college football season started, a lot of the world assumed the Heisman trophy was USC's Matt Barkley's to lose (which of course he did). After Barkley, Geno Smith appeared to be the man in charge (until he wasn't). Then it became Collin Klein's award to lose (which thanks to a shocking performance... Read More
For all intents and purposes, the 2012 regular season for college football is done. The rankings are set, the bowl game matchups have been made, and the majority of the awards have been handed out. However, the regular season is not done yet, because the best has been saved for last. No, it's not... Read More
I guess this is what dudes are just doing these days? Taking off from inches in front of the free throw line in the middle of a game like it's no big deal? Check out Jacksonville College's Daniel Skinner in this clip. He's out on the break with a full head of steam with a defender backpedaling in front... Read More
Last week's picks were a disappointing 3-5. That I can live with. But something else popped into my head this morning and that was this post that I put up back in July. After watching Cam Newton carve up defenses for the most part last season, I figured he would improve and make the Panthers a legit... Read More
Petyon Manning throws for more than 300 yards, Broncos win...blah blah blah. That Denver won easily in Oakland isn't really the story because anyone who follows football knows that the Raiders are horrid. I figured that the Raiders might actually cover the 11 point spread since they were the home team... Read More
It's not too often you see a play like the Heat pulled off last night. Ray Allen makes a steal, lobs it down court to Dwyane Wade, who jumps to catch it and lobs it over to LeBron James to finish it off. Pretty slick play. Unfortunately for Miami, they got beat by 20 at home by the supposedly old and... Read More
Just four weeks left before the NFL regular season comes to a close, but for most fantasy leagues the playoffs start next week. Whether you have money on the line or maybe just bragging rights, it's about to get really intense. This is kind of a funny week because there are only a few games that feel... Read More
Brady Quinn of the Kansas City Chiefs is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his play in the win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, something I personally never saw coming. I've taken plenty of shots at the guy, and that's because he just hasn't been a very effective NFL QB, but to perform the... Read More
Yes, that sounds weird, but the L.A. Clippers are in first place in the Pacific Division at 12-6. They destroyed the Dallas Mavericks last night at Staples Center and gave the home crowd plenty of reasons to jump out of their seats. Not only did they dismantle Dallas 112-90, but they did it in spectacular... Read More
Kobe Bryant became just the fifth NBA player, and youngest, to reach the 30,000 point milestone last night. Ironically, he crossed the threshold against the team that drafted him back in 1996, but then traded him to Los Angeles. They were the Charlotte Hornets then, but last night in New Orleans, Kobe...

There is no way that anyone will ever be able to truly understand the tragedy that occurred in Kansas City last Saturday morning. The death of Kasandra Perkins and Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher are something that never should have happened. To make the matter even worse than the loss... Read More
