The Arena Football League has found a new home on cable TV.

The deal was announced on Friday, and there's a game o...

Up for induciton into the Basketball Hall of Fame are names like Charles Barkley. Dominique Wilkins. Joe Dumars. Gene Keady. Adrian Dantley.

The Special Edition That Wasn't There
We've always been curious about what happens to those pre-made shirts that say things like "Houston Astros 2005 World Series Champions" — it turns out this is what happens — but now we have a new question: What about those "special editions" newspapers put together weeks in advance that end up bei...

Man, Tommy Maddox Has Really Let Himself Go
