Contreras Injury a Blow To Chicago
It was the Sox Bowl Part II as the Red ones took on the White ones. And you know what happens when you put Red Sox in the mix with White Sox (besides all your shit turning pink).

His name may sound Japanese, but the Chinese sure do love them some Kobe. It's no secret that the NBA guys are superstars over there, but this is just silly. I mean imagine. There you are at a women's basketball game and Kobe is the main attraction? Have they not seen the WNBA? (video courtesy of ...

As the medals are handed out, the accusations of cheating begin. And the Chinese swimmers always seem to be involved in speculation. But if you're going to cheat, shouldn't you make it believable? And the idea of this "shadow" team intrigues me. Can you imagine if our pro sports had such teams? Bett...
