Roy Hibbert’s Benching on Crucial Defensive Possessions Another Case of Coach Overthinking Simple Decision
“We’ll have to evaluate and see what we’ll do the next time. I would say we’ll probably have him in next time.”
Frank Vogel said a lot of things in response to reporters’ questions on Wednesday night, but all his explaining and rationalizing did little to answer the only question that mattered: Why?
Why was Roy Hibbert, the Pacers’ 7-foot-2 defensive backbone and emotional...
Alex Rodriguez Selling Remodeled Mansion Next to Matt Damon for $15 Million Profit (Photos)
Oh the pitfalls of money.
When Alex Rodriguez put his Miami Beach mansion up on the market, he was hoping to get $38 million from the sale. Unfortunately for the injured Yankees star, the best he could get for the property was $30 million, according to TMZ.
Nonetheless, Rodriguez still made a pretty penny on the sale. A-Rod bought the mansion for just $7.4 million in 2010. Over the...
Tom Brady Thinks It’s Unfair to Compare Danny Amendola to Wes Welker, But Already Sees Promise in His New Receiver
Wes Welker‘s production over the past six seasons has been pretty unprecedented. So, comparing just about any receiver to him would be unfair, never mind his direct successor.
Danny Amendola has been charged with replacing Welker in the Patriots’ offense, taking both his position in the slot and his expected money. But, while many try and draw similarities between the two talented...
Derek Jeter Appears to Use Fake Name ‘Philip’ to Get Coffee at Starbucks (Photo)
Could a grande blonde French Vanilla get Derek Jeter back to baseball before the All-Star break? Who knows what Jeter’s favorite coffee is, or how his rehab from his broken ankle is progressing. There is now photographic evidence, however, that Jeter stopped by Starbucks the other day, and he walked off with a coffee designated for “Philip.” Whether Jeter was stealing some...
Roy Hibbert’s Absence on LeBron James’ Game-Winning Layup Shown Side-by-Side With Block on Carmelo Anthony (Photo)
Pacers fans are going bananas after coach Frank Vogel subbed out center Roy Hibbert — twice — on a couple of crucial defensive possessions late in Wednesday’s game against the Heat. Hibbert’s absence gave LeBron James free reign to drive to the hoop, including on Miami’s game-winning play that began with 2.2 seconds on the clock.
Sadly, we will never know what those plays...
Tom Brady Says He No Longer Gets ‘Caught Up in Anger and Frustration and Disappointment’ Over Patriots’ Decisions
It’s easy for Patriots fans to imagine Tom Brady being irked when longtime friend and productive teammate Wes Welker signed with the Broncos this offseason after the Patriots failed to give much of a chase. But heading into his 14th year in the league, Brady has seen his share of personnel moves, and — like any good quarterback looking down the field — he’s adjusted his approach...
Dennis Seidenberg ‘Getting Better Every Day,’ Optimistic About Game 4 Return (Video)
As you probably know, Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg has been out of action since Game 7 against the Maple Leafs. Luckily for him, the B’s have been just fine in Seidenberg’s absence, and he admits that it makes it easier to take an additional day to get healthy knowing that your teammates are taking care of business.
Even though he’s not on the ice, Seidenberg has a pretty...
Bills Fan Gets Huge O.J. Simpson Mugshot Tattoo on Upper Thigh, Took Nine Hours to Finish (Photo)
In the years since his NFL playing days, suffice it to say that O.J. Simpson‘s reputation and legacy have changed a bit. However, at least one Bills fan is willing to focus on the franchise’s second-leading rusher’s stats, and overlook that whole double-murder trial thing.
According to Sports-Kings.com, the tattoo in the photo below has been drawn on a Bills fan, and it took...
Ron Jaworski Says He’s Serious About Tim Tebow Joining Arena Football League As ‘Career Path’ Toward NFL Return
PHILADELPHIA — Could it be Tebow Time in the Arena Football League?
Philadelphia Soul part owner Ron Jaworski said Wednesday that he was serious about his offer to former New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow to join the AFL team.
Jaworski, a former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, reached out to Tebow a day after the Jets released him in April. Jaworski has yet to hear from Tebow...
Plaxico Burress Launches Luxury Socks Line, Says He Hopes to Expand to Bow Ties, Cuff Links, Belts (Photos)
The renaissance of formalwear among the ranks of pro athletes has created a market for fine threads, and Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress is there to help fill the void.
Burress launched the Plaxico Burress Collection, a line of luxury socks, this week in New York. This appears to be just the beginning for the former Jets and Giants receiver, who was previously more well-known...
Giants Fan Catches Foul Ball While Holding Baby at AT&T Park (Video)
San Francisco may be a laid back kind of place, but, well, this is ridiculous.
The Giants and Nationals played a matinee game on Wednesday at AT&T park under the California sun, and during the ninth inning of the contest one fan made the catch of his life. Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford fouled a pitch off to the left, into the lower bowl of the stands. The fan, holding his...
Michael Bourn Blows Catch, Helps Flip Miguel Cabrera’s Fly Ball Over Fence for Home Run (Video)
If you’re looking for very advanced sabermetrics, consider the outfield assist — to the other team.
The Braves’ Michael Bourn gave the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera quite the hand (or glove?) Wednesday night on a deep fly ball in the eighth inning. Cabrera cranked a beauty into the outfield that appeared to be just short of a home run, but the benevolent Bourn coughed up the catch...

Bruins-Rangers Live: B’s Look to Close Out New York in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden
8 a.m. ET: The Bruins will be in a familiar position when the puck drops for Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, and they can call on examples of both the right way and the wrong way to handle the situation.

Jacoby Ellsbury’s Solid Effort Against White Sox Doesn’t Silence Leadoff Debate, But It Turns Volume Down a Bit
One game doesn’t make a season, and in most cases, one game doesn’t turn a season around. When you’re facing the pressure that Jacoby Ellsbury is facing, though, you take what you can get.
Ellsbury went 2-for-3 with two singles, two walks and a run scored in the Red Sox’ 6-2 win over the White Sox on Wednesday. It was Ellsbury’s first multi-hit game since May 4, and the...
Red Sox Stop the Bleeding in Chicago, End Successful Road Trip With Huge Win
Wednesday’s game in Chicago wasn’t a must-win for the Red Sox, but it held a lot of weight. A victory meant a positive end to an overall solid road trip, whereas a loss would have had the Red Sox once again taking a long look at themselves.
The Red Sox started off their nine-game trip by winning five of their first six games, including three straight against the Twins in Minnesota...

Clay Buchholz was not pleased with how he started Wednesday night’s game, allowing a hit and two walks in the first inning.

To say that Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean kept things brief after his team was manhandled in a 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday would an understatement
