Chad Ochocinco was establishing himself as a fine NFL reporter recently, using Twitter as his outlet. Maybe something caught up to him because he’s taken a hiatus from tweeting lately. Perhaps the same fate awaits Jets safety, Kerry Rhodes, who used his twitter account to tease...

Let’s get this one straight: I care as much about Tila Tequila as Sheriff Department spokesman Jan Caldwell who called the accusing party, “Tina Nguyen.” And if you’re Shawne Merriman, fooling around with a girl best known for starring in a bisexual reality...

Continuing a somewhat alarming trend that’s developed in the NFL, the Bills fired their offensive coordinator, Turk Schonert, on Friday. The Chiefs made the same move with Chan Gailey earlier in the week and the Bucs fired Jeff Jagodzinski during the week too, but for different...

So much for a repeat Heisman Trophy performance for Sam Bradford. Right before the half, Bradford got crushed by Coleby Clawson and he was driven down into the turf, shoulder first. The hit was very reminiscent of the Tom Brady/Albert Haynesworth play, but this seemed more direct....

Of all the crappy ways to lose a game, this has to be somewhere near the top of the list. Northern Iowa was down 17-16 with seven seconds remaining so they set up for a 40-yard field goal to win it. The events that transpired were dumbfounding:
Honestly, blocking one field goal like [...]

For all the time I spent pumping up Ana Ivanovic last year following her win at the French Open, I have to be fair by mentioning how much of a downturn her career has taken since. Since winning at Roland Garros, Ivanovic hasn’t advanced past the 4th round of any major, including...

Utah’s loss certainly was the Dolphins’ gain in the draft this year. Cornerback Sean Smith has looked strong in training camp and has carried that performance into the games. He had a pick against the Jags and this sick interception against the Saints on Thursday night...

The news has become official: Ricky Rubio will remain in the Spanish league the next two seasons and play for Barcelona. David Kahn is saying Rubio backed out of a deal with the team but I’m guessing he’s just saying that to save face. Most people probably won’t know...

Hanley Ramirez has been in and out of the lineup this season with various nagging injuries. He’s had a few incidents where he didn’t run balls out but he’s still firmly the best player on the Marlins. He’s also leading the NL in batting average but in an 0-for...

Let’s see, Roy Jones Jr. is hanging on way past his prime, presumably to make money like most other boxers do. He got his head handed to him by Joe Calzaghe last November but still came back for two more fights since, winning both. Oscar De La Hoya recently wrote that he felt [...]

The Wildcat offense has swept its way through the NFL, all the way from Miami to apparently now Minnesota. One potential problem with the formation is that it often keeps quarterbacks on the field but split out as a receiver. On running plays, their assignment is to block. For some...
