Texas High School Tried Not To Run Up The Score, Won 91-15 Anyway
The Connally Cougars bludgeoned the Cedar Creek Eagles 91-15 under last Friday night's lights, pulling up just 12 points shy of a 43-year-old Texas state scoring record.

The Braves Are Leaving Their Highest-Paid Player Off The Playoff Roster
Braves second baseman Dan Uggla made $13 million this season, more money than any of his teammates did. That seems like a pretty OK deal for a second baseman that can hit 22 home runs in 448 at-bats. Except that Dan Uggla also sucks, and now he sucks bad enough to be left off the Braves' roster for ...

Kevin Garnett: Howlin' Wolf
A knock on a hotel room door at two o'clock in the morning in the first week of May 1995 was the beginning.

Sports are apparently not among them—the service academies have suspended all sporting events effec...
