The biggest lie in sports is that the San Antonio Spurs are boring. Winning is never boring. Golf is boring. But when Tiger Woods was winning every third tournament he played and making a bid to obliterate all of Jack Nicklaus' records, golf was more spellbinding than porn. Women's basketball is boring. But when the media pretended Connecticut women's basketball was...

Danica Patrick didn't have the best of nights in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Coca-Cola 600 Sunday. She dealt with nearly brushing the wall and fought to match the pace of the leaders throughout the 600. In the end, she finished 30th, five laps off the pace. After the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the longest of her career and one which came a day after she raced 300 miles at...

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Minnesota Vikings were content with patiently waiting out the opening weeks of free agency in March, not willing to jump into the bidding for high-priced free-agents that could provide an immediate boost to a team coming off a 3-13 season. General manager Rick Spielman had a plan and was sticking to it. While big-name, and big-money, players headed elsewhere...

Call Kasey Kahne Mr. 201. With the burden lifted for Rick Hendrick's drivers after Jimmie Johnson earned the 200th NASCAR Sprint Cup win for the organization two weeks ago at Darlington Raceway, the victories just keep coming.

What a great country we live in when a drunk guy at a baseball game can make money while passed out! Baseball isn’t terribly exciting even at the major league level, so fans attending a minor league baseball game will do just about anything to keep themselves entertained. Lucky for these Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankee fans, this young fella could handle his alcohol and passed...

Charles Barkley may get away with saying a good amount of controversial statements, but his most recent one was too "turrible" for San Antonio's mayor to take lying down. After the latest in a string of disparaging comments the NBA analyst has made about San Antonio -- this time regarding the city's river, which Sir Charles referred to as a "dirty little creek...

A common baseball adage is throw [the barrel of] your bat at the ball. Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier took that to heart on Sunday while facing the soft-tossing, 49-year-old lefty Jamie Moyer.

Brock Lesnar attended the UFC 146 show, sparking speculation that he was considering a return to MMA. He retired after his last fight.

These NBA playoffs, at some level, always have been about Miami forward LeBron James his failures and ultimately his bid for redemption. He is not alone, not at all.
