You know how it is when scores soar at the U.S. Open (that didn't happen last year, ...

This post isn't going to be about Derrick Rose deserving to be the NBA's Most Valuable Player. It's also not going to be about Tom Thibodeau being a legitimate candidate for the league's Coach of the Year.
But given the flow of the forthcoming words those two points should be completely, ...

Something tells me John Baker won't have to buy a drink in his hometown for quite awhile.

Seriously, why did it take so long for somebody within the Washington Redskins organization to call out Albert Haynesworth, and by extension head coach Mike Shanahan, for the disaster that situation has turned into?
The simple truth is Haynesworth and Shanahan have been a bad match from the ...

There are those of us on this site that follow college basketball recruiting somewhat closely. That's how we first came to know Kyrie Irving is really, really good at Mr. Naismith's game.
You see, there was a time when Indiana coach Tom Crean was putting all his eggs into the Irving ...

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 ...

I already know this is going to get me in trouble with those crazy Colts fans in Middle Indiana. You know what? I don't care.

Russia gave it a go but it's onto the next round for Team USA at the 2010 FIBA World Championship after an 89-79 win.
Kevin Durant did the heavy lifting with 33 points -- there's not a team in the tournament that has an answer to Durant's combination of length, athleticism ...

Well, it's good to see the latest version of USA basketball has enjoyed the rite of passage that is trouncing the Angolans during an international tournament Monday afternoon.
Team USA looked brutally efficient in a 121-66 win that set up a FIBA World Championship quarterfinal matchup against the pesky Russia, which ...
