With the NBA regular season winding down and the MLB still in the “there’s 150 more games” phase, this weekend’s biggest story was Kobe Bryant tearing his Achilles tendon in a much-needed win against the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers are barely ahead of the Utah Jazz in the race for the ...
A few weeks ago, I delivered an in-depth analysis of the timeless classic, “Space Jam.” The modern epic in which Michael Jordan and the Looney Tune bunch take on the bad guys in some classic five-on-five action made me wonder: Who in today’s NBA would represent us in a doomsday/basketball scenario? ...
Are you kidding me Wes Welker?! Okay, now that everyone’s gotten that out of their systems, it’s really not such a shocker. To any Patriots fans blaming Welker for leaving the Empire to join the Rebel cause in Denver, you’re an idiot. New England essentially gave Wes the big ol’ bird, and as ...
A few weeks ago, “His Airness” and “Sir Charles” reached new milestones in their careers. Michael Jordan proved he was still the best Michael on his own underachieving team, while Charles Barkley finally got his total cholesterol under 300. Oh, and they also both turned 50. “But with advances ...

Welcome back from break, everyone. These past few days have been all about self-reflection, learning to be men of good character and being grateful for the little things. So here are a few things I'm thankful for.
This will be another NBA column, but first, Doug "Muscle Hamster" Martin earned his way into today's sports page after rushing for 251 yards and four touchdowns (along with four catches for 21 yards, you PPR nuts) against Oakland last Sunday. If this guy doesn't decide to "Shaq it" and spends his offseason ...
For those of you hungry to boo David Stern, I have one message for you: The season is here. The season is finally here.
