Brian Urlacher Says He Would Hide Concussion from Team Doctors
Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher is an old school player with an attitude. He hits hard, talks crap, and is strict about the way his son is raised. That’s why it’s no surprise to hear him say he would hide a concussion from a team doctor.
“If I have a concussion these days, I’m going to say something happened to my toe or knee just to get my bearings for a few plays,” he...
Woman Proposes to Man at Portland Trail Blazers Game
This story comes to you straight out of the man bites dog files. A woman proposed to a man Monday night at the Portland Trail Blazers game. Few details are available, except we have this from Ben Golliver, who runs Blazersedge.com:
“A woman just proposed to a man named Jeremy on the jumbotron. She gave him a ring too.”
Later, a woman told Blazers Edge that her adopted daughter...
Professional Betting Money Coming in on Giants for Super Bowl
When the Super Bowl betting line was released Sunday, many sportsbooks had the Patriots favored over the Giants by 3.5 points. Covers.com says a lot of public money came in on the Patriots. They say the public money was countered by professional money, which was enough to move the line down to 3 at many books. One sportsbook manager called it a feast of sharks.
“I just think the...

Tebow joins Brad Paisley onstage
Country singer Brad Paisley performed at the Pepsi Center in Denver Saturday night and was joined on stage by Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Teebs helped sing “I’m just a guy” with Paisley to the tone of insane cheers. Tebow’s singing led to a joke from Paisley after the concert.
“Denver is such a cool city. And thanks for singing with me @TimTebow...
Bubba Watson Buys Dukes of Hazzard General Lee Car for $110,000 (Picture)
What do you do when you’ve won nearly $13 million on the PGA Tour? You buy a badass car used in a TV show, that’s what you do.
Golfer Bubba Watson fulfilled a dream buy purchasing the original General Lee car used in the Dukes of Hazzard TV show. Watson won the car at an auction Saturday with a $110,000 bid. The car was used in the very first episode of the show to jump over...
Byron Scott Meets with Kyrie Irving to Discuss Rookie’s Poor Defense
Kyrie Irving seems to be living up to his status as the top overall draft pick, but the rookie point guard’s poor defense has been a concern for Cavs head coach Byron Scott the entire season. Kyrie’s defense was so bad Friday against the Bulls (who were playing without MVP Derrick Rose), that the coach had a meeting with his point guard Saturday.
“If you can’t get stops...
Player jumps off bench mid-play to guard Celtics player
Magic guard Jason Richardson noticed that his team only had four players on the floor at one point during Monday night’s game, so he jumped off the bench mid-play and guarded Celtics center Greg Stiemsma. Richardson knocked the ball out of Stiemsa’s hands, but it went out of bounds. The refs apparently never picked up on what happened. Here’s the video:

Kansas Fans, Tommy Lasorda Would Like to Know What ‘Rock Chalk Jayhawk’ Means
If Kansas beats Texas A&M to remain undefeated in Big 12 play, I hope they’ll continue to bring Tommy back to keep up the winning streak. He clearly would be a good luck charm at that point.
Now to answer the 83-year-old former Dodger manager’s question, here’s what KU’s website says about the tradition:
“KU’s world famous Rock Chalk Chant evolved from a cheer that...
Billy Cundiff Rushed His Field Goal Attempt Because of Error on Gillette Stadium Scoreboard
Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left that would have tied the AFC Championship Game at 23. The miss essentially gave the Patriots the win, sending them to the Super Bowl.
When Cundiff attempted his field goal, the entire play seemed rushed; the ball was snapped just before the play clock expired. Cundiff told Deadspin’s Stefan Fatsis that...
Giants targeted Williams because of his concussions
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kyle Williams handed the NFC Championship Game to the Giants with two turnovers on punt returns. Williams, the son of White Sox GM Ken Williams, was filling in for Ted Ginn Jr. as the team’s punt returner. Two Giants players said after their win that they targeted him because of his concussion history.
“The thing is, we knew he had four concussions...
Peyton Manning Really Proud of Brother Eli
There will be at least one Manning playing a meaningful football game in Indianapolis this season. Unexpectedly, it will be Eli.
Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was in San Francisco to watch his brother’s Giants beat the 49ers to advance to the Super Bowl. The older brother had positive thoughts for his little bro.
“I’m really proud. He played great and the team played great...
Rob Gronkowski Does Spanish Interview ‘Yo Soy Fiesta’ (Video)
Rob Gronkowski might be LBS’ favorite football player. It all started before the season when we picked Gronk to be the top fantasy football tight end sleeper. He went on to have the best season ever by a tight end, making us look like geniuses. Then of course he posed with a porn star for pictures during the team’s bye week. After that, we and every other male age 15-50 were...
Joe Paterno’s Legacy Marked by Accomplishments and Scandal
Joe Paterno’s death on Sunday added yet another tumultuous twist to a story that has already seen a roller coaster’s share of turns. Following the passing of one of the most iconic figures in the history of college sports, it now remains to be seen how the coach’s legacy will be written.
Legions of Penn State fans, Paterno supporters, and former players will undoubtedly remember...
Old Dominion Has Home Jerseys and Sneakers Stolen from Locker Room
As if returning home after a tough loss wasn’t brutal enough, Old Dominion had much more to deal with when they got back to Norfolk early Sunday morning after a 61-48 loss to Virginia Commonwealth. Some of their jerseys and sneakers were gone. The Monarchs are scheduled to face Northeastern at home on Monday night, but they will be forced to wear their blue road uniforms on their...
Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire Hope to Talk Out Knicks’ Problems
When superstars collide, results suffer. For those of you who have not been following, the Knicks are not playing very well. We all know they have the talent, but for whatever reason New York has yet to gel. Slowly but surely, some of the reasons are coming to light. According to the NY Post, Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire are not exactly seeing eye-to-eye.
“We as a team...
Brendon Ayanbadejo Says the Two Best Teams Are Not in the Super Bowl, Calls Joe Flacco a ‘Nobody’ and More
Nothing brings out a sore loser quite like Twitter. Before Twitter, we had to rely on players flapping their gums at the media in order to get a disrespectful quote or two after a loss. As we have learned over the years, typing things on your Twitter account seems to be a lot easier than actually saying them. While even the loudest of loud mouths like Terrell Suggs have been...
Terrell Suggs to Skip Bayless: Be an Analyst, Don’t be a Douchebag (Video)
Typically I’m one of the first people who will tell you Terrell Suggs needs to stop talking and just play football. Whether he’s complaining about the Ravens offense or telling everyone that the Broncos need God to save them, Suggs generally talks too much. That being said, he was surprisingly quiet leading up to the AFC Championship game. He refused to take the media...
Chip Kelly Backs Out of Buccaneers Job, Says His ‘Heart is with College Football’
In an announcement that should surprise absolutely no one, Chip Kelly has decided to stay at the University of Oregon. On Sunday night, reports surfaced that Kelly and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were finalizing a deal for him to become their next head coach. We were skeptical about why Kelly would make the jump merely a week before National Signing Day and fresh off a Rose Bowl victory...
Did Vernon Davis Deserve an Excessive Celebration Penalty for This? (Picture)
Obviously this is now a moot point thanks to Kyle Williams and other San Francisco struggles, but this struck me as somewhat odd when watching NFC Championship. First of all, officials usually let a bit more slide in terms of excessive celebration and unnecessary roughness in the playoffs. For the most part, referees would rather not have a flag like that affect the outcome...
Billy Cundiff Says He Feels Bad for Ray Lewis After Missing Field Goal
You win as a team and you lose as a team. As expected, that was the message from the Ravens locker room after their devastating AFC Championship loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Billy Cundiff may have missed a chip shot field goal that would have sent the game to overtime, but Lee Evans also failed to secure a potential game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The Ravens’...
WHO LET THE...NEVER MIND
Video: Hockey team sets record for dogs in crowd
Is there really much that can be said about this? The background story is self explanatory. The Florida Panthers’ AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, wanted to set a world record on Saturday night. Rather than playing 73 straight hours of tennis and trying to tackle an impossible feat, the Rampage decided to encourage fans to bring their dogs to the game. Hundreds of them...
Special Teams the Difference in AFC and NFC Championship Games
We hear coaches say it so often that it has become a cliche. When guys like Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin take the podium the week before a game, they always mention special teams. It is the third phase of the game that people tend to ignore. When analyzing the match-up between two teams on paper, we look at offenses and defenses. On Sunday, we were all reminded of how important...
Jose Canseco Watches ‘Moneyball,’ Begs Billy Beane for Chance to DH
Watch out world: Jose Canseco wants to play in the big leagues again. Apparently that’s what happens when someone like him gets their hands on the movie Moneyball. According to his Twitter account, Canseco watched the movie for the first time on Sunday night. In the process, he developed a man crush for Billy Beane and a desire to return to the MLB as a designated hitter...
Chip Kelly Reportedly Finalizing Deal to Become Tampa Bay’s Head Coach
Oregon football coach Chip Kelly reportedly is negotiating to become the new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
KGW-TV in Portland first reported that Kelly was close to signing a deal to become Tampa Bay’s coach. The Tampa Bay Times confirmed the report, and said Kelly met with the team’s owners and GM last week. He reportedly was one of eight candidates to interview for...
Tom Brady: I Sucked But Defense Saved Us
The Patriots defeated the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game 23-20 despite Tom Brady having a sub-par game. Brady went 22/36 for 239 yards no touchdown passes and two interceptions. Luckily the defense made a couple of big plays to help them win, something Brady recognized in his postgame press conference.
“Well I sucked pretty bad today but our defense saved us,” Brady said...
