Wow, this is officially making me feel old. LaDanian Tomlinson was once the best player in the league. He was untouchable. He was scoring touchdowns left and right, and people talked about him in the same breath as Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton. Now, like most running backs who have...

This is incredibly unexciting to most fans. Everyone was expecting Nate Marquardt to get a shot at Anderson Silva or at the very least Dan Henderson, but with both of those guys held up, he’s gonna get Chael Sonnen. The news comes from our lovely neighbors to the north, Sportsnet...

I watched yet another Giant loss yesterday and found myself screaming at the TV on several occasions. Not so much because of the last second touchdown pass, but more because of what allowed that to happen. So many of those plays came because of the fact that new Giants defensive co...

How often do I get to put together the words walk-out and Fleece? Not very.
Anyway, a couple of days ago we posted the Fedor Walk-out shirt for your consumption, and a bunch of people who support “The Last Emperor” decided to pick one up. Now, with winter approaching, that...
