David Ortiz says his offseason contract situation with Boston was ‘humiliating’
Every team in the MLB has been waiting for David Ortiz to fall off the face of the planet for the last two or three seasons, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening. Just when it appeared he was washed up in 2010, Ortiz erased an abysmal start by putting up huge power numbers in the second half and finishing with solid numbers despite a low batting average. Since then, he has...

Jimmy Clausen’s girlfriend is volleyball player Jess Gysin (Pictures)
Jimmy Clausen may have no chance to step into the spotlight in Carolina as long as Cam Newton is around, but from the look of it he is doing pretty well for himself behind the scenes. If Twitter is any indication, Clausen has been dating volleyball player Jess Gysin for at least a month or so now. As our friends at Busted Coverage pointed out, the two have been hanging out together...
Pitt will have a kicker named Chris Blewitt this season
If the best kicker in the world was named Chris Blewitt, would you trust him? Pittsburgh fans are going to have to. He may not be the best kicker in the world, but Blewitt has to be pretty good to be offered a scholarship by a major Division I football program. Many schools don’t like using scholarships on kickers and punters, so if you’re going to use one on a guy named Blewitt...

Steve Nash headed to Lakers in sign-and-trade; can he make them a title team?
A week ago Steve Nash said on the radio that it would be hard for him to put on a Lakers jersey because he’s “old school.”
It didn’t take him long to overcome his feelings.
The Lakers and Suns reportedly have agreed on a massive trade that will send four draft picks (firsts in ’13 and ’15; seconds in ’13 and ’14) from LA to Phoenix in exchange for Nash, who will...
Andy Murray compares himself to LeBron James for not winning big one
Andy Murray is one of the top tennis players in the world, but he hasn’t won a grand slam title. He’s been ranked as high as No. 2 in the world, currently ranked No. 4, and he’s won 22 tournaments. The Scotsman reached the semifinals of Wimbledon for the fourth straight year, and he’s hoping to advance to the final and win his first major.
After beating David Ferrer on...
Libbing in the USA on Independence Day
I have to admit: I felt a wee bit patriotic on July 4. Never mind that my last name is Lee, that I have an unhealthy fixation with udon, or that every article of clothing I’m currently wearing was probably made in a country that helped comprise the British East India Company. No, it is July 4th, a time when I can celebrate my American roots: my freedoms to wantonly waste tea to...
Chad Ochocinco live-tweets his wedding
Chad Ochocinco is one of the most followed athletes on Twitter and has sent over 37,000 tweets. Despite how active he is on the social media network, one would figure he’d put aside his tweeting device on a day as sacred as his wedding. But that wasn’t the case for the Dolphins receiver who live-tweeted his wedding on Wednesday.
Ochocinco, whose marriage to Evelyn Lozada will...
Martellus Bennett takes shots at Tony Romo?
After spending four unproductive (yet controversial) years with the Cowboys, Martellus Bennett signed with the Giants in March. And now the tight end appears to already be criticizing his former quarterback, Tony Romo.
In an interview with Newark’s The Star-Ledger, Bennett made comments that could be interpreted as taking a dig at Romo, suggesting the Cowboys quarterback played...
Dutch beach soccer player Daryl Rawidjan scores on amazing bicycle kick (Video)
Beach soccer is apparently a thing (sanctioned by FIFA, too!). And apparently qualifying for the 2013 World Cup is currently taking place. That’s where the outstanding goal you see above took place (keep your eye on the upper left of the video). In a match against Denmark, the Netherlands’ beach bro Daryl Rawidjan, next to the touch line with a defender draped over him, flipped...

Knicks reportedly have become frontrunners for Steve Nash
Now that Deron Williams has signed with the Nets, Steve Nash is now the “it” guy available on the NBA free agent market. The Knicks and Raptors have been fighting for him.

Young fan makes great catch leaning over bullpen on Austin Jackson homer (Video)
Your browser does not support iframes.
If you’re going to bring a glove to the game, you might as well either be under the age of 12 or planning to make a great play. In fact, why not do both? A young Tigers fan had that covered on Tuesday night as he lunged over the bullpen to make a great stab on Austin Jackson’s fourth-inning, game-tying home run against the Twins.
The Twins...
City of Boston uses confetti cannons purchased for Patriots Super Bowl parade for its 4th of July celebration
We have just received word that 4th of July celebrations can actually be painful. Not painful as in stray fireworks accidentally fired into a crowd painful, but emotionally painful. Like many other cities across our great nation, Boston is holding a celebration of America’s 236th birthday on Wednesday. They are also doing so at a discounted price, as they had the luxury of being...
Matt Kemp said the attention he received from dating Rihanna was ‘overwhelming’
As an MVP candidate and someone who makes $180 million playing in the city of Los Angeles, Matt Kemp must be accustomed to the celebrity lifestyle. Kemp is 27 years old and one of the brightest young stars in baseball. He has done fashion shoots for magazines and dated celebrities. If $180 million isn’t an indication that you’ve made it, being able to say you dated Rihanna certainly...
A.J. Pierzynski angry about All-Star team snub, takes swipe at Mike Napoli
Every single year there is one player that everyone agrees was overlooked for the All-Star Game. This year, that player is A.J. Pierzynski. At age 35, the White Sox catcher is having by far the best first half of his 14-year career. Pierzynski is hitting .291 with 15 home runs and 48 RBIs. His career highs for an entire season are 18 homers and 70 RBIs, so he’s on pace to shatter...
Texas A&M embarrasses itself with extremely cheesy SEC welcome video
Someone needs to tell Texas A&M that the only way to make it through your first week of imprisonment alive is to find the biggest dude in the joint and smash him over the head with a tray from the mess hall. Killing people with kindness rarely every works. Now that they are officially a part of the SEC, Texas A&M chose to create the incredibly cheesy video you see above...
Chris Paul has reportedly been recruiting players to the Clippers
By turning down the three-year, $60 million offer the Clippers extended to him over the weekend, Chris Paul has given L.A. fans a reason to worry. Things are finally starting to look up for their franchise, but what would happen if one of the most important pieces of their future decides to leave town? According to Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld, it doesn’t appear that Clippers fans...
Ozzie Guillen goes off on Marlins after loss, defends Heath Bell’s blown save
The All-Star break can’t seem to get here fast enough for the Marlins. The past month or so has been horrible for Ozzie Guillen’s squad, as they have managed only nine wins since June 1. After showing signs of life recently and putting together a short four-game winning streak, the Marlins have lost two close games in the row to the Brewers. On Tuesday night, closer Heath Bell...

Anthony Davis reportedly still in contention for making Team USA despite ankle
Despite “severely” spraining his ankle last week, an injury that was thought to keep him out for the Olympics, Hornets’ No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Davis reportedly still plans to participate at Team USA’s training camp in hopes of securing one of the final 12 spots for the team that heads to London.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Davis’ ankle injury isn’t as serious...

The Lakers, with a payroll already projected in excess of $83 million next season...
Is Kim Kardashian sexting Devin Ebanks?
Stop me when you’ve heard this before: Kim Kardashian… Ah, hell, you know what’s coming: Kim Kardashian is being romantically (lustfully?) linked to, shocker, another professional athlete.
Yes, Kardashian is still apparently with current boyfriend Kanye West, and the two were seen together at the BET Awards on Sunday, but according to Ken Eats Barbie, the two lovebirds allegedly...
Chris Broussard arrives hilariously late to the Deron Williams party
We now know Deron Williams will be staying with the Nets. We know this because Williams himself tweeted the news a little over an hour ago. Soon after, Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski reported the contract figures: 5 years, $100 million. And yet, all this didn’t stop ESPN’s resourceful Chris Broussard from chiming in with some breaking news of his own.
At 7:15 ET, 12 minutes...
