Darren McFadden with his adorable pitbulls
I visited Darren McFadden's house in Oakland recently and met his adorable pitbulls. Why do pitbulls get such a bad rap? These two dogs were just big ole gentle giants. They did knock me down a few times by accident, but then they licked my face when I hit the ground.P.S. That...

Why don't black guys play hockey?
We all know it's true, but whyyyy?From the always funny Ryan Parker, whose songs I first heard when doing research for an interview with Jay Bruce of the Cincinnati Reds. Turns out Jay had actually heard Ryan's song about him ("Jay Bruce Almighty") and thought it was hilarious.

Meet "Leroy Smith," the dude who beat Michael Jordan for that last Varsity roster spot in high school. He now uses his story to "motivate the world, including Canada." Smells like a Nike stunt, which doesn't necessarily make it any less awesome.

Larry Fitzgerald races blogger Dewey Hammond, takes his camera and shoes
