Some of my friends will tell you I’m a little bit obsessed with sports; to them I say, “Blow me ass munch.” I’m well rounded enough to understand how a federal court ruling can shape the future of my friends, and those I consider family, for years to come. We all know that yesterday’s court ruling [...]

It’s been a roller coaster year for USC sophomore Matt Barkley: winning the starting quarterback job as a freshman, losing head coach Pete Carroll to the NFL, having chronic under-performer Lane Kiffin named as head coach, getting nailed by the NCAA for rules infractions and being named to our Top 25 College Hotties Rankings for the second straight [...]

I like guys who are outspoken and aren’t afraid to speak their minds. It’s a double-edged sword that can both win you some admirers and make other’s question your motives. Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen is one of these outspoken guys I like, but that doesn’t mean I can’t disagree with him; and so is [...]

Disgruntled Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth, the highest paid defensive player in the National Football League, can’t pass a conditioning test. On his first attempt at passing the conditioning test Haynesworth failed after taking an extended bathroom break in the middle of it; on the second attempt he just failed it; there was a swollen knee used [...]

California Highway Patrol released video of Sacramento Kings’ rookie Tyreke Evans reaching speeds of up to 130 MPH on Interstate 80 in his purple Mercedes. That’s not a typo; Evans drives a purple Mercedes. Stay classy Sacramento. Although his former bay area neighbor JaMarcus Russell thinks purple drank is cool , Evans should know that only Prince [...]

Guest post from Randy Stern Sorry, Pete and Paul, but… Photo by Randy Stern The difference between last season and this one will be commitment. Last year, I was well into it. The Minnesota Vikings provided a lot of excitement in my life from last August through the middle of this past January. Brett Favre helped tremendously for [...]

In the wake of ESPN’s ombudsman’s severe critique of the network’s deal to exchange air time for the LeBron James decision debacle, comes another story of ESPN pulling a less than flattering story about LeBron’s weekend trip to Las Vegas after it was posted on ESPNLosAngeles.com. The story, as presented below, is a first-hand account of ESPN’s Arash [...]

Unsigned Denver Bronco’s quarterback Tim Tebow signed a deal to endorse Jockey underwear and apparel on Tuesday. The deal seems like a natural fit for a company and a quarterback who aren’t quite the best at what they do, but are full of potential. No word yet if the underwear comes with scripture stitched into the lining. [...]

Florida quarterback John Brantley attempts to replace a Gainesville legend in 2010, and from a pure skills point-of-view he should do just fine. During mostly mop-up duty behind Tim Tebow , Brantley has completed 71-percent of his passes (54 of 76) for 645 yards with 10 touchdowns to just one pick. Brantley vs Tebow Tebow was a fiery leader, [...]

Penis pics, shoulder pads and very little talk of the team….just another day in Cowboys’ training camp. Shoulder Pad Gate Listening to the Cowboys press conference on The Ticket Monday afternoon I was amazed that 90 percent of the questions involved wide receiver Dez Bryant’s refusal to carry fellow wide receiver Roy Williams’ shoulder pads to the locker [...]

The year of the pitcher — and most likely the beginning of pitching dominance for years to come — continued last night as Matt Garza of the Tampa Bays Rays threw the fifth no-hitter in the majors this season. With roughly 60 percent of the season in the books, only five seasons since 1900 have had [...]

I got a feeling this is going to be a really, really bad football season for me. As a non-Cowboys fan living in Dallas — OK, I’m a hater — I’m subject to the winds of unrealistic expectations that usually approach hurricane force this time of year. But the winds are worsening this preseason. It seems as [...]

Whether it’s on the field or in the bedroom, we’re big fans of versatility. In 2009-10, Kyle Parker, the Clemson quarterback/outfielder/first baseman, showed off his versatility by becoming the first Division I athlete to throw 20 touchdowns and hit 20 home runs in the same year. Parker’s sick athletic skills, bleached-blond hair, square jaw and versatility [...]

In light of the NCAA’s investigations into USC, the other USC (the one in South Carolina), Florida, Alabama and now Georgia, there’s sure to be much discussion as to the role of agents in college athletics. Football is the cash cow for universities, but only a handful of athletic departments break even or better yet make [...]

Forbes released its annual list of the world’s most valuable sports franchises on Wednesday, topping the list — at a net worth of $1.84 billion — is the English Premier League’s soccer/football behemoth Manchester United. No. 1: Manchester United Sport: soccer Value: $1.83 billion Owner: Glazer family Revenue: $459 million No. 2: Dallas Cowboys Sport: football Value: $1.65 billion [...]

Cincinnati Bearcats’ junior quarterback Zach Collaros is #24 on our 2010 Top 25 College Football Hotties Preview. Last season Collaros made his presence known both on the field, subbing for an injured Tony Pike, and off the field, arrested for a charge of presenting a fake ID at a Cincinnati area bar and then blowing off the [...]

You know that feeling you get when something’s not quite right yet you’re unable to express why you’re uncomfortable with the situation? That’s exactly where I’ve been with this whole LeBron, Wade and Bosh super team in Miami . I realize they’re allowed to do whatever they like, but something about it just didn’t seem right with me. I [...]

Yes he’s that Montana, the son of quarterbacking legend Joe Montana. So the inevitable question is: Will Nate be able to win a championship at Notre Dame like his old man did in 1978? The far-fetched prospects of that happening seemed highly improbable when the former walk on transferred to Pasadena City College last fall, but Nate [...]

Are you ready for some football? Or what about some hot, shirtless college football jocks? If you answered yes to both questions then you’re definitely a sports fag — or a woman ! Dust off your cleats and strap on your jock because it’s time to unveil the 2010 edition of the Top 25 College Football [...]

Sports Illustrated is known for three things: a swimsuit issue, great preseason previews — especially Peter King’s NFL breakdown — and those cheesy commemorative issues where journalistic credibility takes a back seat to sales. If your favorite team has ever won a championship and you have one of those leather bound commemorative issues, you know exactly [...]
