NBA mock draft: Who's #1?
One of my favorite articles to read during the NBA offseason has always been the Chad Ford and Bill Simmons’ back and forth mock draft. The 2007 Oden vs. Durant is my absolute favorite.

What kind of QB will Johnny Manziel be in the NFL?
Since Johnny Manziel tweeted that he can't wait to get out of college football, a lot of speculation has begun about what kind of quarterback Manziel will be in the NFL. He's athletic, and he has the measurables, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll make a smooth transition to the pro game. Mike Freeman of CBS Sports took the time to ask some general managers...
The 10 hardest hitters in the NFL today
Even with all the rule changes of the past few years the NFL is still a league that lives by the law of hit them before they hit you. Bone-crushing hitters take that though to heart. They're the players who thrive on contact and letting opponents know that they're trespassing on dangerous turf. According to one study, bone-crushing hitters are also the leading cause of alligator...
Gallery: Supermodels who are dominating 2013
As seems to be the case each and every year, certain girls have stood out more than others in 2013. With the internet and social media being the way they are, it is now easier than ever to get to know some of the world’s most beautiful women.

10 fantasy studs and their WWE counterparts
With two huge brawls in the league this week (Rays/Red Sox, Dodgers/Diamondbacks), I thought it would be fun to compare some current players to their brawling counterparts in the WWE. I’ve been an avid fan of wrestling since I was a wee lad. I will not simply be matching up player and grappler – there will be legitimate correlations. The “beard-off” between Daniel Bryan and...

Do baseball's unwritten rules still apply?
“That scrap between the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers on Tuesday night was all about baseball’s unwritten rules,” said Buster Olney on ESPN.
