Jake Murphy, the son of Braves legend Dale Murphy, had a big moment in his life Wednesday when he proposed to his girlfriend. Luckily he had some help from the Braves organization in choreographing the proposal.

Bulls fan wears *** LBJ shirt while standing behind LeBron James (Picture)
Yup, one Bulls fan got his wish and was shown on ESPN Wednesday night wearing a T-shirt that said “*** LBJ” on it. Best part of all? The moment he was shown on TV LeBron James was inbounding the ball right in front of him.
Don’t worry, it’s not like this was the first time an inappropriate item made its way on the ABC/ESPN NBA cameras.

Omaha fifth-grader Max Kohll’s NCAA pool squashed by principal
Fifth-grader Max Kohll did something that’s going to take place in nearly every office across the country this month: He organized a NCAA bracket pool between him and his buddies at Columbian Elementary in Omaha. $5 buy-in. Winner gets half the pot. Second- and third-place splits whatever is left.
It was very entrepreneurial of him, especially for an 11-year-old. He was pretty...
Southern Mississippi coach Larry Eustachy does not know who Fab Melo is
With Fab Melo ruled ineligible for the NCAA tournament, some are wondering if Syracuse is destined for an early exit. Assuming the Orange get past 16th-seeded UNC-Asheville, the winner of the first (second) round game between Kansas State and Southern Mississippi could be primed to pull off an upset. You would think either of those teams would be salivating at the thought of taking...
Fan spectacularly falls trying to catch tennis ball from Rafael Nadal (Video)
One man went a bit overboard trying to catch a tennis ball Rafael Nadal threw into the crowd after beating Marcel Granollers at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Ca. Tuesday. And we say he went a bit overboard, we mean that literally. Dude was sporting a Rafael Nadal jacket and standing next to a group of people holding a Spanish flag, so we’re assuming he’s a big fan. Such...
Mike D’Antoni out as Knicks coach, may have wanted to trade Carmelo Anthony
Mike D’Antoni resigned as head coach of the Knicks Wednesday, answering the season-long request of some fans who had been chanting for him to be fired. Though it’s being reported that D’Antoni shocked the Knicks with his resignation, it’s not a surprise that he’s no longer the team’s coach.
The Knicks had lost six in a row and 8 of their last 10. D’Antoni was absolutely...
Mother kicks soccer ball into son’s face, makes him cry (Video)
Hey son, let me show you how to kick a soccer ball. You have to **** your leg back, and then kick through the ball. Just watch how I do it.
Pow! Wah, wah, wah wah!
She’s just lucky the kid didn’t end up with blood all over his face. And the mom thinks her son wanted to kick again after that? That’s the sort of thing that turns a kid off soccer for life! Nice going, mum....
Expert NCAA tourament bracket picks: Del’s 2012 March Madness selections
It’s that time of the year again — the time when every Tom, Dick, and Harry who has no idea what they’re talking about gets to play expert for a few days. Those few days would be the ones leading up to the NCAA Tournament. After the first round of games, most of us usually feel pretty dejected and stupid. But hey, it’s only Wednesday. Most picks aren’t due until Thursday...
DeSean Jackson signs big five-year $51 million contract with Eagles
DeSean Jackson became a malcontent with the Eagles last season because he was upset about being underpaid, but that apparently did not deter the team from rewarding him. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jackson has signed a five-year $51 million contract to remain with the Eagles.
DeSean has elite game-changing ability, but he has serious character concerns. He was deactivated...

Marlins had Gaby Sanchez throw baseballs at new aquarium to test its durability
Those of you who have had a chance to view pictures or video of the Marlins new amusement park stadium know that there is a lot going on there. Most notably, the Miami ballpark features an obnoxious structure in center field that will whirl and twirl when someone from the home team hits a homer. The park also boasts 40 feet of aquariums where a backstop should be. As expected, the...
Carmelo Anthony says trade talk is making him sick to his stomach
With the NBA trade deadline only a day away, one rumor that has picked up steam over the course of the week is Carmelo Anthony potentially wanting out of New York.

Many speculated that the Jets would be the best landing spot for the four-time MVP, but Woody Johnson claims his team is perfectly happy with Mark Sanchez under center.
Buccaneers spend nearly $150 million in first 24 hours of NFL free agency
We knew Tampa Bay’s 4-12 season last year didn’t set well with the people in the front office, but we did not anticipate that the Bucs would go to such extreme measures in an attempt to right the ship. General manager Mark Dominik said earlier this offseason that the Bucs were going to be big spenders heading into 2012, and he stuck to his word by spending nearly $150 million...
Terry Collins frustrated over Mets injuries: I need my wife to beat me up so I get my patience back
The MLB season is a mere three weeks away, and the injuries are piling up for Terry Collins and the Mets. As if Collins wasn’t already facing enough challenges in his second season as Mets manager, he now has to deal with injuries to David Wright, Scott Hairston, Ronny Cedeno and most recently Ruben Tejada, who went down with a groin injury on Tuesday that Collins described as...

Peyton Manning’s marketing agency sent cease and desist letter to Arizona mattress company that had his name on billboard
Remember that Arizona mattress company that threw up the billboard that said “Peyton Manning, Please Sleep Here!” in an attempt to convince Manning to sign with the Cardinals? We thought that was pretty clever. Apparently Peyton’s people were not amused. As you can see from the ESPN.com video above, R&S Mattress operations manager Chuck Madler says that IMG — Manning’s...
NCAA Tournament talk brings out some of the lamest cliches in broadcasting
If you have ever happened upon a big dance, we would like to hear from you. If you know someone who has had their ticket punched, please let us know. Has your bubble burst lately? If it has, perhaps you should consult a gastroenterologist or, barring that, maybe a shaman. For some reason, however, these trite expressions of nebulousness are dusted off each year around the first...
Roy Jones Jr. thinks he could have beaten Floyd Mayweather in his prime, but maybe not Manny Pacquiao
Roy Jones Jr. said on a radio show that he believes he could have beaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. if they fought, but he thinks he would have struggled against Manny Pacquiao.
“The young Roy Jones, Jr. would probably beat Floyd Mayweather, Jr., because basically Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and James Toney fight with the same style,” he said on DBoxing Source, according to Boxing Scene...

One of the selling points for the Broncos is that coach John Fox reportedly will...
Chargers sign Robert Meachem after losing Vincent Jackson to Bucs
The Chargers lost Vincent Jackson in free agency Tuesday but tried to make up for it by signing Robert Meachem. San Diego is paying Meachem $14 million guaranteed on a four-year $25.9 million deal. Vincent Jackson signed a five-year $55 million deal with the Buccaneers and $26 million is guaranteed. I have to say, I don’t like either deal very much.
Both players’ stats were...
