Lance Armstrong is prepared to admit (we think) that he took performance enhancing drugs during his days of dominating the Tour de France. Then today Canada’s CBC News reported the following bombshell which changes everything. Armstrong used… rugs? We know it is just the latest on tv typo but still it is funny to imagine Armstrong going to the local hardware store to pick up...

Tebow attracts a crowd, but no job, in Arizona
PHOENIX -- As Australian pole vaulter Steve Hooker trained on the track at Paradise Valley Community College on Tuesday morning, a crowd began to grow beside him.
But the crowd, which grew at one point to as many as 50 people, wasn't there to see Hooker, who won a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, or his impressive vaults. Few, if any, even knew who the world-class...

You better remember the last month clearly, because it’s unlikely we’ll see anything like it again. In the span of three weeks, two members of the Tebow family found themselves backtracking because of their role in controversies.
Three weeks ago, it was Tim denying that he asked out of the New York Jets’ wildcat package because he was upset with the team’s coaches. This...

Pete Rose’s reality show Hits and Mrs. debuts tonight on TLC at 10 ET/9CT. While you’ll be able to hear some of Pete’s great words of wisdom, you’ll probably enjoy the show more for the chances to see Pete’s hot wife, 31-year-old Kiana Kim. Kim posed for Playboy 4 years ago and it’s easy to see why The Hit King, 71, would be just a bit attracted to her.

The Divisional playoff round is one of my favorite weekends of sport all year round and this year exemplified why. The Denver/Baltimore game and the Atlanta/Seattle contest provided extreme drama. The San Francisco/Green Bay game, which is the one I was not able to watch, introduced Colin Kaepernick as perhaps the league’s next great quarterback. And the Patriots/Texans game ...
