Other than Tiger Woods there has been no bigger sports collapse in recent history than Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. In fact, right now I can only count on one hand the number of athletes dumber than Masoli right now, and that includes Dexter Manley.

A little late with the breakdown today, which I apologize for. I was busy sitting in a minor league baseball dugout waiting for a recently demoted pitcher to finish a bullpen session. Sounds fun, I know.

OK, listen, I know there are a lot of people out there that don't think fishing is a sport. I'm one of them.
Then again, we can't get past the truth that fishing stories end up in the sports section and the Bassmaster Classic is televised on ESPN with guys holding ...

With the 2010 World Cup right around the corner, the old adage that soccer (football, futbol, etc) is, and probably always will be, the world's most popular sport is about to be proven true once again. Most of the best players in the world are going ...
