We here at this site were really disappointed by the franchise mode in Madden this year. While it’s understood that this year’s Madden development team was fixing what was essentially a broken game, certain things really screwed it up. For me, the biggest thing was the...

Jesus, how many of these can Affliction put out in a six month span? This is the THIRD new Georges St. Pierre shirt since Affliction stopped promoting MMA events.
That doesn’t make this one any less cool though.

I try not to be one of "those fans" - you know, the type who sulks and glooms and says the team is horrible after a loss, but they're the first one to chant "We Want the Cup" after a convincing win.However, tonight was a good game. The difference between Edmonton...

So, apparently we all jumped the gun when we said that Brock Lesnar had the swine flu and that’s why he had to pull out of his UFC 106 matchup with Shane Carwin.

I’ve spent a bunch of times thinking about the Houston Texans today. Mainly the injury that was suffered by their all-pro tight end Owen Daniels.

Despite the 2009-10 NBA Season being a week old, I have come to the decision that Donnie Walsh blew it in June’s Draft when he had the number eight overall pick. I understand that Walsh had his hands tied when Stephen Curry and Ricky Rubio were already picked but I still cannot come...

It’s very unfortunate that The Spider is hurt right now, as there is finally an opponent for him at 185 lbs. With Vitor Belfort looking up the barrel at him, Silva just had elbow surgery and will be out until early 2010. That didn’t stop him from wearing this awesome pink...
