Only in Major League Baseball could a player like Troy Tulowitzki ink that kind of deal.
Honestly, have you seen the numbers on that thing? On Tuesday Tulowitzki and the Rockies agreed to a seven-year, $134 million contract extension that runs through the 2020 season. Factored in with his current contract ...

Woody Paige is a well-known blowhard who often doesn't know when to just pipe down and let the grown-ups talk. But this week he has an interesting take that actually sounds like a good idea. Don't worry I checked, hell hasn't frozen over.

So last week I was at the 2010 EA Sports Maui Invitational covering it as a mercenary for another site. While covering the final of the tournament between UConn and Kentucky, I was sitting in press row when Celtics general manager Danny Ainge sat down next to me to my ...

I know, I know. It’s been awhile since my last contribution.
Well, let me re-introduce myself. I’ve been described as a ‘would-be ladies man,’ a Rick Moranis clone and a hopeless romantic (I still think the Cubs have a shot).

How, exactly, did that happen? Boise State, arguably the best team in all of college football, the most complete, well-rounded squad we've seen all year, utterly fell apart in Reno like a drunken gambler who couldn't afford to play in Vegas. Up 24-7 after the half, and with a chance ...

I'll say it now: anyone who says that Alabama threw that second half so the BCS wouldn't have to defend putting a one-loss team in the national title game over an undefeated Boise State or TCU squad is just sick and wrong.
There's nothing fishy about the Crimson Tide's performance in ...

Is anyone shocked that the president of Ohio State University doesn't really want to change the current BCS bowl system in college football? That's the same system that got his university into the national title game in 2007 and made like $10 million for the Big Ten because it got ...

(17) Texas A&M (8-3) at Texas (5-6) (+3.5)
