At 3pm ET, Newcastle United is taking on Middlesborough in a game that could all but seal the Mags' relegation to the Championship or nearly save them from it all the while making Hull fans very, very nervous. Even though the teams suck, you're in for some very entertaining soccer. I'm ...

When the Oakland Raiders selected wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey with the No. 7 pick in the NFL Draft, pretty much everybody on the planet's reaction was: What the f*ck? Heyward-Bey was listed as a late first round pick by virutally everyone, and with Michael Crabtree still on the board, no ...

Less than a month after the New York Jets traded up to select Mark Sanchez with the No. 5 pick in the NFL Draft, it's safe to say Kellen Clemens is in denial. Clemens, a fourth-year player, claims he still expects to be the Jets' starter during the team's Week ...

Okay, maybe not everyone, but the title is still apropos (of doors) given the Blues' reaction to losing to Barcelona on a 93rd minute away goal. It's been two days since the match and Chelsea's players are still all in the press talking about how the official didn't give them enough decisions ...

Since when did it become impossible to guard Rajon Rondo? I've watched the kid play a lot over the past two seasons, he's not the second coming of Jason Kidd, but for some reason he's looked like it this postseason.

Minka Kelly's boobs are jumping for joy at today's links. Maybe you will too.
