MLB, New York at Boston (ESPN, 7 p.m.): It's pretty funny that New York can't seem to beat Boston these days. But this whole rivalry is overblown and both teams are equally unbearable. There is a reason to watch though. Chien-Ming Wang is taking the mound tonight with his 14.46 ...

Tim Floyd sure knows how to make an exit. Very quietly, and out the backdoor to boot.
By now you know the story. Floyd resigned his position as head basketball coach at USC on Tuesday, stepping down amid an investigation by the NCAA into whether (or how much) money changed hands ...

Talk about a quick fall from grace.
In 2002, Luiz Felipe Scolari pulled off what might be the ultimate high in world sports when he guided his native Brazil to its fifth World Cup title.
He went onto enjoy a six-year stint as Portugal’s boss, taking the Iberians to a World Cup ...

I wouldn't be caught dead watching "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" but there's nothing wrong with checking out clips like this. Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson has still got it man. Wow. I guarantee that if they scrapped the whole "celebrities in the jungle" angle and ...

Major League Baseball Draft (MLB Network, 6 p.m.): The top pick is all but guaranteed to be Stephen Strasburg, and that doesn't necessarily bode well for his future or that of the Wasington Nationals, which are pretty much forced to take the stud pitcher. After that, who knows? We know ...

Tonight, the Washington Nationals will select Stephen Strasburg with the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft. In case you aren't aware, Strasburg is a right-handed pitcher for the San Diego State Aztecs and he has ridiculous stuff. We're talking the kind of pitching talent only seen in video ...

NCAA Baseball Super Regional, TCU vs. Texas (ESPNU/ESPN2, 7 p.m.): These in-state rivals have split the first two games of this best-of-three super regional. That means the stakes tonight are pretty simple: Winner punches a ticket to Omaha for the College World Series. Might as well get primed for that ...

Remember almost exactly a year ago when Tiger Woods was a scary, unstoppable force that made all other professional golfers irrelevant? Yeah, he might be back to that. Okay, so he beat Jim Furyk and a bunch of nobodies to win The Memorial on Sunday, but I'll be damned if ...
