So there was that big Alex Rodriguez press conference today, where he revealed more about his use of performance-enhancing drugs. Compelling stuff.
There was also this little piece of news: Bud Selig just isn't going to accept the blame for the Steroid Era.

I've got a shiny penny for anyone who can name the athlete pictured above.
Too late, it's none other than Bill Swift. Billy Swift, on the cover of a video game. And not just any game, this was World Series Baseball '95 for Sega Genesis. I played that game constantly. McD ...

Well, it's President's Day and you know what that means...no really, we're asking, what does it mean? We're clueless. We have a day in this country celebrating the fact that we have presidents. So this is basically federal-pat-yourself-on-the-back-for-being-a-Democracy day?

In the short time that Lane Kiffin has been the head football coach at Tennessee, he's created a wee bit of controversy. In fact, Paul Finebaum has already said the Volunteers should just cut their losses and fire his pompous ass already.
What has Kiffin done? Hmmm where to start...

I personally prefer Todd McShay to the ultimate blowhard, Mel Kiper Jr., but when the man speaks I still begrudgingly listen while staring at his hair.
Kiper recently weighed in on what the Bears need to draft this year and the answer was pretty simple: All of it.
Let's let Mel do ...

This time, there isn't much to say. If Brett Favre is indeed going to retire, I say only a solemn goodbye. He will one day go the the Hall of Fame as one of the best Green Bay Packers ever...

When Scott Skiles decided to hire Kelvin Sampson to be his assistant coach in Milwaukee prior to this season, he probably didn't think it was much of a risk. Sure, Ole Assholeface may have been cast out of the collegiate game for his transgressions at Oklahoma and Indiana, but he ...

You may have heard that Adam Morrison, once a media darling while dropping jumpers at Gonzaga, will try to resurrect his career in Los Angeles after being traded along with Shannon Brown from Charlotte to the Lakers for Valdimir Radmanovic.
