PEL SAYS:
The Dallas Mavericks: Your 2011 NBA champions

Just like NO ONE predicted, the Dallas Mavericks are your new NBA champions. And yes, the deplorable Miami Heat fell short on the biggest stage possible, but if I were you, I'd get my schadenfreude in now because I have a feeling you're going to see the ballers from South Beach raise the Larry O'Brien Trophy more than once in the decade to come...

Sports-Kings

While people may still be debating whether this year's Barcelona squad was the greatest of all time, no one would argue right now that Lionel Messi isn't the world's best player...

Pirates notch sellout thanks to Huey Lewis concert
Rumors and Rants

Wow, it’s nice to see baseball actually showing some life in Pittsburgh baseball. Maybe the fans were drawn by the Pirates’ surprising 31-33 record, or the fact that they are just six games out of first place in the NL Central. Or maybe they were drawn by the power of love...
