Jered Weaver Sings Along To "Hit The Road Jack" After Being Pulled From Game
Jered Weaver is having an excellent season. Only two starts removed from his no-hitter, he had allowed no earned runs in four of his first seven starts this spring. But then came Sunday night and the Texas Rangers and their heavy machinery. Weaver managed to strike out Josh Hamilton twice, but he al...

David Stern Doesn't Really Give A Shit About Flopping
The short answer is, there's no short answer to flopping. It's nearly impossible to legislate intent, except in the most egregious of cases. Soccer has long failed to address even the glaring dives, and the NHL's embellishment penalties are often more controversial than the plays that don't get whis...

Osi Umenyiora Wishes "Twitter Gangster" LeSean McCoy A Happy Mother's Day...On Twitter

Dan Majerle Caught An Automatic Double At Tonight's Diamondbacks Game
In his 14-year NBA career, Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle made his name with intensity and a freakish body.

USHL goalie Stephon Williams was left all alone on an island to face a point blank shot and he did not even have his glove. It wouldn't matter, though.
