Earlier in the week we posted about how Heath Bell really doesn't like ESPN and Baseball Tonight's coverage of Major League Baseball. He claimed the WWL only cared about the Red Sox, Yankees and Mets. So basically he said exactly what we've all been thinking for years. Then, he went ...

The last show we're campaigning to save is Life on NBC. Look, Kings and Chuck are one thing, but if you don't know about Life by now...that's just...weak, dude. I mean, Sarah Shahi is hot too, but like, the show would be good even if she weren't. Go watch an ...

This offseason, I was fairly vocal with my belief that pretty much every deal the Cubs made this winter was, at best, questionable.
Dumping Kerry Wood for Kevin Gregg? I'm sure it'll work out just fine. That dude only blew nine saves last year.
Trading your most versatile player for some prospects ...

The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 111-110 in overtime last night, handing the Cavs their 2nd home loss on the season. Even with LeBron James on the bench Cleveland looked pretty good on their home court, proving that there may be something to this whole "home court advantage" thing. ...

The Stanley Cup playoffs have at long last arrived, starting with several games tonight.
There are some who say these playoffs are the best in all of sport (we'll take March Madness, thanks) with its rich tradition and, of course, Lord Stanley's Cup, from which the winning team can drink whatever ...

Our drive to save shows continues today. Yesterday it was Kings on NBC. Today, it's Chuck on the same channel. Listen, NBC, a show that's popular right from the start is usually the result of some advertising campaign that duped people into watching the show. Build an audience that will ...

FINALLY, a reason for Pacers fans to come out for the team's season finale since their team won't be advancing on to the playoffs. And neither will the woeful opponent, the Milwaukee Bucks.
Aside: Kelvin Sampson will be on the bench for Milwaukee if IU fans would like to go boo ...

How bad has it gotten for Isiah Thomas?
Well the disgraced and banished former Knicks coach and president was being linked with a rinky dink job in the Sun Belt Conference. Well, turns out Zeke took the job at FIU.
Hmm, a guy who played collegiately at IU and the two letters ...

The way I always saw it, if there was one town that seemed like a particularly good fit for me if I had to abandon my home, it would be Boston. It has lots of history, a good proportion of young people and an even better proportion of Irish people, ...
