Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian reportedly had a lunch date in Beverly Hills

No fake marriage could keep Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian apart. A few days after TMZ reported that Kim Kardashian was done dating football players because her breakup with Reggie Bush was so bad, they say the two were spotted on a lunch date over the weekend. The lunch reportedly took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel (I hope they ate at the coffee shop on the lower level, that...

Floyd Mayweather Jr. says Jeremy Lin is getting attention because he’s Asian

Jeremy Lin is a bit of a mystery. How a kid from Harvard who was cut twice by NBA teams has become one of the league’s best players is truly baffling. All of us are confused about it in a way, but we certainly know why he has gotten so much attention. For starters, he was riding the bench for the Knicks a little more than a week ago. Now all of a sudden he has sparked their...

Carmelo Anthony says Jeremy Lin is the Knicks version of ‘Rudy’

Over the past week or so, we have heard plenty of entertaining Jeremy Lin comparisons. Lin said he takes a lot of inspiration from Tim Tebow and you could argue that their stories are somewhat similar. Both began the season on the bench and provided a massive spark when inserted into the lineup. Lin has been one of the best players in the NBA over the past five games, but for some...

Ozzie Guillen says he was drunk when he interviewed for the White Sox job

There are those who love Ozzie Guillen and those who loathe him. One thing we all should be able to agree on is his effectiveness as a manager. Ozzie may say some ridiculous things at times, but overall his teams want to win for him. White Sox G.M. Kenny Williams must have known that all the way back when Guillen was a bench coach for the Marlins. Otherwise, he may not have given...

Tennessee’s new football training facility will include an MMA cage

The Tennessee Vols had $45 million and 145,000 square feet to work with for their new state-of-the-art football facility, so head coach Derek Dooley wanted to make sure ever inch of it was put to good use. Well, sort of. As you can see from the promotional video above, construction is underway on the new training center. It includes everything from a spacious locker room with iPod...

Dwight Howard wants to be a closer like Kobe Bryant

Dwight Howard is unhappy in Orlando and does not agree with the way Stan Van Gundy has been approaching things. What else is new? Howard is almost certainly on borrowed time with the Magic, but he wants to make the most of it and become more of a focal point while he’s there. The Magic beat the Bucks 99-94 on Saturday night, but Howard left the game with a foul taste in his...

Olympic swimmer Matt Grevers proposes to his girlfriend on medal stand (Video)

Olympic swimmer Matt Grevers really needed to come in first at the Missouri Grand Prix on Saturday night. If not, it would have put a damper on his plans. Proposing to your girlfriend from the medal stand is certainly original enough, but a gesture like that would be lacking a bit if not done from the highest point possible. Fortunately, Grevers won his race with a time of 53.57...

Yao Ming reportedly tried to sign Jeremy Lin for his Chinese team during lockout

The New York Knicks must feel more fortunate by the day. They chose to stick with Jeremy Lin rather than releasing him, and to say it has paid off would be an epic understatement. Lin was released by both the Warriors and Rockets before landing in New York. In addition, he was reportedly recruited by his good friend Yao Ming to play for the Shanghai Sharks, a Chinese team that Yao...

Personally, I would never get over a split with Eva Longoria. That blow would just be too much for me to handle. I guess that’s why I’m not Tony Parker. Well, that and I suck at playing basketball — but this isn’t about that. According to the NY Post, the woman above is Parker’s new girlfriend. She is a French woman named Axelle, and the two were reportedly spotted...

Terrell Owens says he couldn’t play in 2011 because media has labeled him with character issues

Terrell Owens was out of work in 2011, and as far as he is concerned that’s not his fault. No teams were interested in giving T.O. a chance last season. Some say it was because of his surgically reconstructed knee and others say he is simply too old. Then, there are those who believe he is too much of a headache and not worth the risk. Those people, Owens says, have been misled...
