Call Him Adam Jones, If You Please
He is Pacman Jones no more. From now on, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive back would like you to call him P. Diddy Puffy Roger Murdock Adam, which is his given name.

Herzlich Willkommen In Amerika!
Arthur Abraham didn't like the idea of people questioning his controversial hometown victory over Edison Miranda, so two years later he came stateside to make it official.

A Night Of Boxing
The last time Edison Miranda fought Arthur Abraham the result was a classic, albeit marred by some poor officiating.

Philadelphia's Continuing Misguided Hatred Of J.D. Drew
J.D. Drew's play on the field this past week did nothing to keep Philadelphians from mercilessly, lustily booing him the last couple days, but even if he went 0-for-20 and caught a baby falling from the stands at Citizens Bank Park, he'd still hear it, just 'cuz. Drew, as you may recall, became a ...
Offend Lance Armstrong, And Face The Consequences
The hatred so many people in the cycling world have for Lance Armstrong once seemed a little bewildering to us outsiders. The guy beat cancer!
