By 2025, The NBA Will Have A Latino MVP
I'd like to make a $100 bet: By 2025 the NBA will have a Latino MVP. I'm willing to go one step further, I believe it will be a U.S.-born Latino MVP. I'll go one step further still and say that it won't be Carmelo Anthony (whose father is Puerto Rican)....

The Kansas City Chiefs (Basically) Killed A Guy

Beer Of The Week: Stella Artois, Belgium's Allegedly French Beer
Apparently Stella Artois used to be advertised in the U.K. under the slogan "reassuringly expensive." Without knowing the relative merits of price and quality across the pond, I can only rejoice that such a snotty tagline has gone the way of doctors prescribing cigarettes. There is nothing reassurin...

On The Cusp Of Elimination, Manchester City Supporters Had No Answers

Chiefs Head Coach Romeo Crennel Fires Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel
Outside of an overtime win against the Saints, the Chiefs have been unwatchable this season. The team's most damning mark of failure is the fact that it hasn't held a lead in regulation in its first seven games, a streak that remains intact after Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Chargers....

Brady Quinn beat out Matt Cassel in the saddest quarterback competition ever—and then left the game with a concussion after going 2-for-4 for a single yard.
