Jason Terry Says Brendan Haywood Can Make Mavericks Forget Tyson Chandler
After Thursday night’s 104-102 loss to the Thunder, Mavericks fans are undoubtedly feeling a bit uneasy. The season has just begun, but the defending NBA champions have lost their first three games and look like a completely different team than the one that beat the Heat in the Finals last summer. That’s because they are. The Mavs lost Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea, and Caron...
SHOOTING FOR THE STARS

As the buildup to the showdown between the Cowboys and Giants hits its final stretch the Giants DE argues that he doesn't know if Dallas "ever deserved to be America’s Team."
Peyton Hillis now believes in Madden Curse
2011 has been a disastrous season for Peyton Hillis. The Browns running back was slowed by a hamstring injury that caused him to miss five games. He sat out a game at his agent’s urging because he was ill. It was that type of poor attitude that led to an intervention with his teammates.
After having such an awful season, Hillis admitted Thursday that the infamous Madden Curse...
Notre Dame CB, Florida State WR Try Out Kama Sutra Position No. 69 (Picture)
And then after the play, Notre Dame CB Robert Blanton said “Bert Reed, tell me how my ass taste.”
Man, I don’t care what’s at stake there. I don’t care if there’s a touchdown on the line. If you’re telling me I have to stick my nose in some other dude’s taint in order to get the pass, I’m giving up the ball. When you start talking Arabian goggles during live games...
Alex Rodriguez Dating Ex-WWE Diva, Playboy Model Torrie Wilson?
Alex Rodriguez was spotted working out at a gym in Boise, Idaho earlier this week, and now we may know why: It looks like he’s involved with former WWE diva Torrie Wilson.
A former sports reporter told the Idaho Statesman that A-Rod was at the gym working out with the former Playboy model. Wilson is a Boise native and won the Miss Galaxy fitness competition. We all know A-Rod...
Video: Kevin Durant Winning Three-Pointer to Beat Mavericks at Buzzer
You didn’t really think Vince Carter was going to hit the winning shot in a game, did you? Kevin Durant made sure that wasn’t the case, nailing a three at the buzzer to beat the Mavericks 104-102 Thursday in Oklahoma City. Here’s a video of his impressive shot:
Durant went 10-for-16 with 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. Not a bad night’s work. But really, you know...
Russell Westbrook Reportedly Feels Coach Scott Brooks Blames Him for Losses
Russell Westbrook already seems to have some friction with Kevin Durant. Might his biggest problem be with Thunder coach Scott Brooks?
In a post explaining why Russell Westbrook won’t work in Oklahoma City, J.A. Adande slipped in the following nugget:
“[Westbrook's] told friends he feels Thunder coach Scott Brooks blames him for losses, while the credit for victories goes...
STAND BY YOUR MAN
Robert Griffin III's GF enjoying Alamo Bowl
Behind every great man there’s a great woman, someone quotable I’m sure has said. Just ask Kobe about that — there’s a reason the Lakers are 1-2. Maybe Rebecca Liddicoat is the real fuel behind Robert Griffin III’s Heisman season.
Liddicoat is Griffin’s girlfriend and fiancee. Robert actually proposed to her while singing a song, and he had a friend play the music...
NBA officials explain why Dwyane Wade did not travel on winning shot (Video)
Dwyane Wade nailed the winning shot to beat the Bobcats 96-95 Wednesday night. Rob Mahoney at Hardwood Paroxysm put together a well illustrated video showing that Wade traveled on his final shot.
The NBA took notice of Mahoney’s video and created an NBA Officials Twitter account to respond to the supposed missed call. Their first and only tweet linked to a brief...
Mike Tomlin: James Harrison is Not a Dirty Player
James Harrison is recognized as one of the dirtiest players in the NFL. He was suspended a game this season for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Colt McCoy. He’s committed five illegal hits in three years, and he was fined six times the last two seasons. Harrison even made an illegal hit on Josh Cribbs when the players were teammates in college. But is Harrison a dirty player? Mike...
Terrell Owens Close to Signing with Allen Wranglers of Indoor League
Terrell Owens is close to signing with the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League, Drew Pearson said Thursday. Pearson is the general manager of the Wranglers and a former Dallas Cowboys star receiver.
The team announced that they had formally offered Owens a contract for the 2012 season. The compensation package would be $250,000 up to $500,000, and include an ownership...
Kendrick Perkins Is Tired of Chris Webber ‘Hatin’ on Him, Uses the No Rings Defense
I was watching NBA TV Wednesday night and don’t recall Chris Webber saying anything out of line, but apparently he said something that aggravated Thunder center Kendrick Perkins.
“I’m tired of Chris Webber hatin on me get a ring first and then I can respect ya comments other wise keep my name out of ya mouth,” Perkins wrote on Twitter after his team’s game.
As LBS contributor...
Brandon Jacobs Says Cowboys Fans Are Loud, Obnoxious, Worse than Philly Fans
You want to hear something ironic? Brandon Jacobs used the words “loud” and “obnoxious” to describe a group of people on Thursday. Has anyone done more complaining during the 2011 season than Jacobs? He’s already cried about wanting out of New York, complained that the fans are not supportive enough, and called Rex Ryan names. Naturally, Jacobs now has a problem with...
Shaq Beats Up E.J. for Answers to ‘Who He Play For’ Game (Video)
One of the best parts of the NBA season being back is the return of Inside the NBA on TNT. I’ve often said their show is frequently as good as the games that precede it. I was worried about them adding a dominant personality like Shaq to the crew, but he did well on Tuesday night. In case you missed it, they played a fun “Who he play for” game where Shaq and Charles Barkley...
Floyd Mayweather Jr. Reportedly Made $1 Million Betting on Patriots Over Broncos
Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s gambling exploits are legendary. The man says he wins and loses millions on a given betting weekend. From the sounds of things, he was mostly up a few weeks ago.
Norm Clarke of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says Floyd bet $1 million that Tim Tebow wouldn’t have a prayer against the Patriots in Week 15. The Pats rolled to victory 41-23, easily covering the...
THE BRITS CALL THEM LIFTS
Ducks players were trapped in elevator
While staying in a hotel in Century City in advance of the team's Rose Bowl appearance, nine members of the Oregon Ducks football team were trapped in the hotel's elevator for two hours.
Bruins’ Adam McQuaid Bloodies Raffi Torres’ Eye During Fight (Video)
Raffi Torres likes to think he’s one of the NHL’s tough guys. He loves getting into fights and taking runs at players — some of which are extremely dirty like this one. The reason the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup last season and are one of the best teams in the league this year is their toughness. If you’re going to cheap shot one of the Bruins players, you had better...
Michael Jordan and Girflriend Yvette Prieto Are Engaged
Michael Jordan is off the market. According to WCNC in Charlotte, Jordan recently proposed to longtime girlfriend Yvette Prieto. Considering she reportedly said yes, it’s safe to assume Jordan’s golf-playing, cigar-smoking, gambling, Bobcat-owning lifestyle is just fine with her. Good for them.
The irony of the news for me is that M.J. was seen sitting courtside at the Bobcats...
Giants Handing Out ‘All In’ Towels for Sunday’s Game Against Dallas (Picture)
With the way the NFC East has been so hectic all season long, it’s only fitting that the final game of the regular season has become an extension of the playoffs. The playoff scenario for the Giants and Cowboys heading into this weekend is quite simple: win and you’re in. Match-ups between Dallas and New York are typically enticing enough, but nothing beats a rivalry game with...
Video: The Don Cherry Piano Desk is One of the Best Ideas of 2011
In an era where everything is turned into a video and uploaded to YouTube, it’s tough to be blown away by anything. There are billions of videos and photoshops circling the web at any given moment, so someone has to really think outside the box to blow our socks off. If you’re a person who is currently seeking the “it” factor on YouTube, look no further The Don Cherry...
Former Lightning Coach Rick Tocchet Had $18,000 Seized at Customs in Bahamas
Nobody likes taxes. Unfortunately, we have no choice. With the exception of those who are extremely shady and brilliantly elusive, we will all have to face being taxed at some point in our lives. That includes any potential fees that are incurred when going through customs. Just before Christmas, former Tampa Bay Lightning coach Rick Tocchet found that out the hard way when leaving...
Is Drew Brees Still Underrated? Robert Meachem Thinks So
For quite some time, Drew Brees was an underrated NFL quarterback. A few years ago all we ever heard about was Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Brady and Manning were in a class of their own with everyone else looking up at them. Then, Brees won a Super Bowl. He went on to be named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year and inserted himself into the elite quarterback discussion...
Marshawn Lynch Owes Big Season to Finally Working Hard, Preparing Properly
Marshawn Lynch is having a career season. For some reason it feels he has been around for a decade, but Lynch is only 25 years old. He had his fair share of disciplinary issues with the Bills, but this season has been one of vast improvement for the sixth year running back. His 1,118 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns are the highest totals of his career. Believe it or not, Lynch...
Deron Williams Says There Aren’t Many Starters on the Nets Right Now
Spirits may have been high in New Jersey when the Nets began the year with a win over the Wizards, but reality quickly set in on Tuesday night when they were demolished by the Hawks. Following the 106-70 loss, an understandably frustrated Deron Williams spoke to reporters about the Nets’ flaws. It is no secret that Williams wants New Jersey to bring in another superstar like...
Russell Westbrook-Kevin Durant Altercation Leads to 0-13 Shooting Night
The supposed rift between Oklahoma City stars Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant took another turn on Wednesday night. Oklahoman reporter Darnell Mayberry says Westbrook and Durant got into an altercation on the Thunder bench after players objected to the way Westbrook scolded teammate Thabo Sefolosha. Westbrook was upset that Sefolosha passed on an open shot and cursed at him. Teammates...
