VIDEO: You Be The Judge & See If Derek Rose's Knee Is Okay

Forty-nine. That’s how many games Derrick Rose has played since his 2011 MVP season. I, personally, am a huge fan of Rose and have missed him ever since he tore his ACL against the Philadelphia 76ers in their playoff game in 2012. I’ve waited years for him to rehab and get back into playing shape and […]

Finally! We’re moving forward. After months of bickering and a bunch of he said, she said b.s., an LA superior court judge ruled that Donald Sterling’s wife, Shelley Sterling, lawfully reached an agreement to sell the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

OU Football Commit Austin Seibert Can Kick A Football Very, Very Far

Anybody can kick a football. It may not be pretty, but they can do it. On the other hand, how many people do you know that can kick a 66-yard field goal? None? Well, the Oklahoma Sooners know at least one, and his name is Austin Seibert. Seibert, a Sooners football commit who is from […]

VIDEO: Jeff Francoeur Gets Pranked By Teammates... Again

I’m beginning to worry about Jeff Francoeur. If you don’t remember, a few months back Francoeur’s teammates pulled off one of the best pranks I have ever seen. His team, the Triple A El Paso Chihuahuas, convinced Francoeur for a very long time that his teammate Jorge Reyes was deaf. Reyes, if you haven’t guessed, is […]

Marshawn Lynch Surrounds His Lamborghini With Velvet Ropes

When Marshawn Lynch went to the Super Bowl last year, he shied away from attention and the media. He said that he just wanted to play ball. Well, apparently staying low key and behind the scenes isn’t what Lynch necessarily does off the field. Apparently Lynch drives a white Lamborghini (very subtle) and on top […]

Tracey McGrady Somehow Makes All-Star Team, Then Retires

If many of you thought that Derek Jeter didn’t deserve to make the All-Star team in his last season, what are your thoughts on Tracy McGrady? McGrady, who played for the Sugar Land Skeeters, apparently put up good enough numbers this season to make the Atlantic League All-Star team. So are you curious what those […]

The Rock Used To Sport A Fanny Pack & Turtle Neck

When people think of Dwayne Johnson, or more notably as The Rock, they make first think of a hulking, chiseled man who has great charisma and talent.
