What in the Twitterverse is going on here?
What has the NFL come to? These days it
is considered big news when a player decides NOT to hold out of training camp and actually fulfills the obligations of his contract, playing for the amount of money he agreed to when he signed on the dotted line.

Luis Gonzalez hit a bloop single just over
the glove of a drawn-in Derek Jeter in the
bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 2001 World Series to give the D-Backs their crown. A new list alleges that Gonzo tested positive for roids in 2001. If true, is the D-Backs WS title tainted?

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ brass have apparently seen enough,
firing Manager Bob Melvin just 29 games into the
season, and less than two seasons removed from him winning NL Manager of the Year. Melvin was relieved of his duties after his team crawled to a 12-17 start, falling nine games behind ...

In the famous words of Jim Carrey, “So
you’re telling me there’s a chance!” While the D-Backs’
chance of winning the NL West was slightly better than one in 1,000,000, digging yourself out of an 8 1/2 game deficit does require some sort of small miracle, especially the way the D-Backs have ...

The Phoenix Suns won’t be winning an NBA
title this year; they couldn’t even manage to make
it to the playoffs. The debacle that was the 2008-09 Phoenix Suns season will likely result in drastic changes this offseason that could spell the end of superstars Steve Nash, Shaquille O’Neal, and Amare Sto

Earlier this week, President Barak Obama filled out
his bracket with ESPN’s Andy Katz, and we let
him have it. Obama picked just one of the Pac-10’s six tournament teams, Washington, to advance past the first round. “Barak-etology” displayed his east coast bias, picking Arizona, Arizona State, ...

It looks like the oval office and the
east coast is sticking to its bias. President Obama
filled out his NCAA Wednesday on ESPN and had only one of the six Pac-10 teams in the tournament winning a first round game. Obama chose four seed Washington to beat 12 seed Northern Iowa, only to lose in ...

We’ve all undoubtedly seen LeBron James’s “block” of
Jason Richardson’s 360 dunk attempt by now. Before any
debate can take place, two things must be conceded here: J-Rich is an athletic freak, LeBron is freakier. The fact that Richardson is two-time slam dunk champion makes the play by ...

Phoenix has the lead entering the fourth quarter,
leading throughout most of the second half. Slowly the
opposition whittles down the lead as Steve Nash & Co. turn the ball over, play after play. The opposition gets hot, and the Suns are unable to get a stop, suddenly finding themselves down 9 point

Shaquille O’Neal said it was “kind of early”
for the Suns to bust out the “win or
go home” slogan, but Grant Hill and Steve Nash seem more willing to admit the truth. Hill called tonight’s game vs. the Dallas Mavericks “our Super Bowl,” and Nash said, “this is our playoffs.” It wasn’t long ago ...
