Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett went down with an injury last year, and in his absence Cardale Jones won a national title and was named starter for 2015, at least partially on the merits of his cannon of an arm.

Cardale Jones Didn't Know He Was Starting Until The First Series
The only meaningful bit of pregame intrigue surrounding Ohio State’s season opener against Virginia Tech was the question of who would be the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback.

Vin Baker had a lengthy career in the NBA, but financially, he has nothing to show for it. Because of alcoholism, bad investments, and friends and family using him, Baker ended up in the gutter with almost no money. The current-day Baker is in better shape; the Providence Journal found him training ...
Cardale Jones And Other Buckeyes Fooled By Living Mannequin Prank
The living mannequin prank is always a good one, especially when you can get Cardale Jones—no stranger to pranks himself—to execute an army cover-and-roll to get out of the way. I also like the dude that just keeps on walking like nothing happened. ...
Cardale Jones Doesn't Like Being Told To Stick To Sports
Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones speaks his mind on Twitter—that’s how everyone learned that he didn’t join the Buckeyes’ program to “play SCHOOL”—so today, he talked about something that wasn’t football. Some lout named Dan told Jones to stay in his lane, and ended up getting the business....

The Milwaukee Bucks Are Already Threatening To Move
When Herb Kohl sold the Bucks last year, it was trumpeted everywhere that one of the immutable conditions of the sale was that the new owners keep the franchise in Milwaukee. Yesterday, in a hearing with state and local lawmakers, the team president demanded $250 million plus interest in taxpayer mo...
The Bucks Just Snatched Greg Monroe Away From The Knicks And Lakers

The Time Barry Bonds Was Intentionally Walked With The Bases Loaded
Seventeen years ago today—May 28, 1998—Diamondbacks manager Buck Showalter made the decision to intentionally walk Barry Bonds with the bases loaded.

Urban Meyer's New Contract Has Some Massive Buyout Clauses

Khris Middleton Hits Game-Winning Three To Cap Frenzied Final Seconds
Khris Middleton is starting to make a habit of hitting game-winners from a very specific spot on the floor.
