It’s the best rivalry in all the world.
Better than that highly pubbed UNC-Duke battle on Wednesday or the Red Sox-Yankees, Lakers-Celtics, Ohio State-Michigan, Jesus vs. Jews and Jon Lovitz vs. Andy Dick rivalries.
It’s USA vs. Mexico, bitches.
Need a history lesson?
Excuse me while I nut in my pants.
Why am ...

The Facebook phenomenon know known simply as "25 Things" has blown up and gotten out of control the last few weeks. Though all most of us have abstained from jumping on that bandwagon of "Look at me, I'm special" lameness, we decided it was probably time to give in. So ...

There is perhaps no sport that more often shows us just how quickly an athlete can go from extremely awesome to extremely terrible than baseball.

Ever since the Suns (stupidly) went out and got Shaquille O'Neal there's been these rumblings -- sometimes subtle and sometimes not so -- that Amare Stoudemire isn't happy.
And who can blame the guy?
They were winning boat loads of games under Mike D'Antoni and Stoudemire was one of the most dynamic ...
