Two Weeks After Bizarre Radio Show Appearance, ODU Basketball Coach Blaine Taylor Fired
Old Dominion fired head basketball coach Blaine Taylor today following last night's loss to George Mason that dropped the Monarchs to a very un-regal 2-20 record on the season.

Retired NFL Players Are Depressed And Don't Even Know It: Study

Rob Gronkowski Danced Shirtless And Wrestled At A Vegas Club And Fell On His Bad Arm

This Coco Crisp Bobblehead Does The Bernie, And You Want It
The A's adopted the Bernie Lean as their rally dance last year, and it seems to have been worked.

J.R. Smith Airballs A Free Throw, Crashes A Children's Basketball Game
Knicks guard J.R. Smith is a career 74 percent free-throw shooter, and his nickname is "J.R. Swish." So, he's not the player you would expect to airball a free throw, and yet that's exactly what Smith did during the second quarter last night's Pistons-Knicks game. Everyone found the moment to be r...

CBS Had A Reporter In The NFL Control Room When The Stadium Went Dark And Didn't Use Him
CBS had at least one honest-to-God reporter at the Superdome on Sunday: Armen Keteyian, who was on assignment for 60 Minutes Sports.

Guy Records Game To Watch Later, Threatens To Shoot Worker Listening To Sports Radio Outside His Home For Spoiling Outcome
We've all been there before. You're a big sports nut but because life always has a way of getting in the way, you can't watch the big Golden Gophers game live.
