Rookie sensation and cutie Joey Logano has apparently had enough of Kevin Harvick’s bump-and-run tactics. After Sunday’s race at Pocono, another in which Harvick spun out ‘sliced bread’, Logano went after Harvick in the pits.

Yet another sign of political correctness and coddling of kids run amuck: An Ottawa youth soccer league’s new rule that if a team wins by more than five goals they automatically lose the game. I understand mercy rules but changing the outcome of the game is ridiculous. Sounds like lazy parenting to me, too many whiny-ass [...]

I don’t believe as a general rule, when most people think of the Midwest in America they automatically think of a place where the LGBT community is embraced.  In fact, I would be willing to bet, that if you asked a group of randomly selected people where the most gay friendly places in the U.S. were, [...]

Focus on the Family founder Dr. James Dobson led a pre-race prayer at NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600. Dobson, who is the nation’s “most influential Evangelical leader” according to Time Magazine  is a controversial, and some say hypocritical choice to lead the prayer for the race. This isn’t the first time that Focus on the Family has been the [...]

Remember four days ago when the Orlando Magic were about to become a punch line? After sweeping their first two playoff opponents, the Magic, were on the verge of being swept themselves.

Following last night’s 4-2 loss to the Czech Republic — or Czechoslovakia if you’re a maverick Republican like John McCain — USA Soccer head coach Bob Bradley trimmed his national soccer preliminary roster down from 30 to the FIFA mandated limit of 23.

The Florida Supreme Court today refused to hear the NCAA’s appeal of a lower court ruling that grants open access to the public records detailing the academic cheating scandal at Florida State.
