Cleveland traveling to Detroit is definitely not an interesting NFL matchup on paper. But today, in their first half, the Browns and Lions made magic happen . Brady Quinn threw three touchdown passes to stake the Browns to a 24-3 lead in the first quarter. Matthew Stafford responded with three ...

You hear about NASCAR's season? The one with Jimmie Johnson in pole position on the leaderboard when it really mattered? No, I mean this season. Lame jokes aside, on this last day of the NASCAR calendar, people are beginning to wonder if Johnson's dominance -- he's about to win his fourth ...

You may remember Bud Adams as the old codger/team owner in the Tennessee Titans' box who flipped a couple of birds in the general direction of the Ralph Wilson Stadium field after his Titans beat the Bills last week, then paid many pretty pennies for it . But Adams apparently wants to be ...

Ducks Set Up War For Roses. The Arizona student section was so sure their Wildcats would come away with a second straight upset of Oregon at home that they spilled onto the sidelines with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. Then the Ducks scored on a perfectly lofted fade from ...

The New York Knicks won today ! They beat the Nets, which I believe is about the same level of competition as Montana junior varsity hoops, but it's still a win. Nate Robinson must have known that win was coming. Why else would he take a shot -- and make it -- on his own basket as ...

Isn't the hot stove season in baseball supposed to be, well, hot ? I realize the winter meetings haven't begun yet, but this year seems to me to have no buzz about the machinations behind the scenes that build teams. Yes, teams could be signing players right this very second. They aren't, ...

We've been having our fun with statistical looks at the candidates for MLB awards around these parts . But in the greater sportswriting world, some of the choices writers -- and coaches -- make are apparently meant for ridicule, not rational discussion. Take, for example, the decisions ...

As recently as 2006, the Big Ten's two most high-profile programs stood astride the college football world. Each had a dominant, balanced offense, with NFL-caliber talent on defense. That Michigan-Ohio State game was a shootout that never really verged on classic. The Buckeyes won, 42-39, and ...

Flying High. The best team in the NBA right now nests in Atlanta. The 11-2 Hawks have wins over the Blazers, Nuggets, and Celtics, and their Friday night win was maybe the most dramatic of the season, coming on the above Josh Smith putback and against the scrappy Rockets. Their ...

Followers of women's college basketball (and I consider myself one) know that often, superstar players swing titles. That's why Baylor's Brittney Griner is going to receive truckloads of speculation , why Candace Parker won her fame as the difference-maker for Tennessee two years ago, and why ...

So, yeah: Mark Mangino. Not to rehash the monster off-field story of the past week excessively, but he's not very nice (nor is he at all safe for work):
When this stuff first came out and the horrible thing that Arist Wright was accusing Mangino of was ...

A $4.1 million plan has been put in place to build a Negro League baseball museum in Baltimore. Even if one already exists in Kansas City , there's certainly enough of a market on the East Coast to keep a second afloat. Though for Baltimore, the greater challenge is deciding where in the city ...

It's a question worth posing after Thursday's opening day of play in San Juan for the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Classic. Georgia Tech and Dayton are both in the AP Top 25 , but the game didn't even find its way to TV. More importantly, no one really appeared to be there for the early tip-off.

When we last saw Eric Gagne, he was not in high esteem . But that was just Eric Gagne the baseball player. As Walkoff Walk notes, he might be trying on a different cap before too long. At a charity event in Quebec City, Gagne was asked if he would lead an investment team to ...

Say what you want about the MLS product, and over the years everyone has said everything they've wanted about the MLS product, but the league could not have asked for a more fortuitous championship matchup. Look, let's be honest, the L.A. Galaxy could be playing a rag-tag bunch of ...

Just as it's poor form to try to push over a kid for a foul ball, it's also not a good look to try and take a stick that was intended for a young girl . Scott Niedermayer scored the winner in OT for the Ducks on Thursday, but the video above is what everyone will ...
