This is what got a couple of announcers
suspended from calling NBA games for the Los Angeles
Clippers: Smith: “Look who’s in.” Lawler: “Hamed Haddadi. Where’s he from?” Smith: “He’s the first Iranian to play in the NBA.” (Smith ...

Given his strange odyssey, games like this one
are worth noting: Ricky Williams showed he's still got
it. The 32-year-old Williams rushed for 119 yards and scored three touchdowns, and the Dolphins beat the Carolina Panthers 24-17 on Thursday night for their fourth win in six games to get ...

I have to admit that, until this morning,
I knew nothing about Kansas Football Coach Mark Mangino.
Now that I do, I wish I was still in my happy, ignorant bubble: Former Kansas football players are speaking out about an investigation into allegations coach Mark Mangino has verbally abused or ...

I know what the score was at the
end of the game, and winning is what matters.
But I watched this game: Michigan State’s winning streak at home against nonconference teams was in jeopardy. The second-ranked Spartans — and their fans — refused to let it end against Gonzaga. Durrell Summers ...

As much as I believe the case had
merit, and it certainly did, there was no way
the United States Supreme Court was going to take this case: A group of native Americans have lost their bid to force the Washington Redskins pro football team to change its name because they consider it to be a ...

I have had a great deal of non-interest
in Monday Night Football for as long as I
can remember. I have never really cared who called the games. Was it Madden forever? Is Al Michaels on NBC now? Where'd Dan Dierdorf go? Why is Boomer on CBS? Whose idea was it to hire Chris Collinsworth? I never ...

The absolutely stark raving look of terror and
confusion on this poor young athlete's face is the
reason why Isiah Thomas should be encouraged to give up any pretense of being a coach. The poor kid looks like he's being told to bounce the ball with his forehead and run down the court with his ...

Sign, Camp Bonifas, South Korea Here's a story
about our troops that doesn't involve horrible news and
tragedy. This is exactly the sort of thing I enjoy reading about, and learning about. I'm afraid I can't do horror and screaming and what the hell is our government doing? posts all of the ...

While I don't think this is entirely a
reflection on Lane Kiffin and his team, it does
speak to who he's recruiting right now: Three freshmen Tennessee football players, including highly touted wide receiver recruit Nu'Keese Richardson and starting safety Janzen Jackson, were charged with ...

I wouldn't panic about whether or not Washington
decides to bring another head case and a team
cancer to play with the Redskins: Redskins coach Jim Zorn did not rule out the possibility of the Redskins pursuing Larry Johnson. He said the team has had internal discussions this morning and will ...

This is excellent analysis, and needs to be
digested fully: These are heady times for the NHL,
unfortunately not of the halcyon days variety. No, the start to this season is all about headshots and what to do. So far, there's been only head-scratching over the ongoing NHLPA mess and ...

Anyone can talk about reconciliation, but some things
you cannot reconcile. Some things, you cannot excuse. I
don't doubt that what motivates Coach Bobby Knight is not anger, not some negative feeling, not hatred and not spite. I think what motivates him is a sense that there was no fairness ...
