For Better Or Worse, Barry Zito Is Always There For The Giants
On October 19, Barry Zito took the mound in St. Louis, with his San Francisco Giants trailing the Cardinals three games to one in the NLCS.

A Map Of The Most Absurd Team-Name Migrations In Sports

Why Did Jamaal Charles Get Only Five Carries? Romeo Crennel Has No Idea.
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.

The Carolina Panthers Lost By Calling The Exact Same Defensive Coverage Over And Over
Last week, the Giants were able to beat the Redskins by recognizing the coverage.

But even that was cutti...
Sergio Romo Struck Out Miguel Cabrera With The Ballsiest Pitch Of The World Series
When Sergio Romo sealed his team's World Series victory with a strikeout of Miguel Cabrera, it was hard not to wonder what the hell Cabrera was thinking.

The Eagles Are Considering A Quarterback Change, Says Michael Vick
Usually, the clamoring for a change under center comes from fans and media, people who either don't know what they're talking about or haven't taken into account all the reasons for a team's struggles.

Randy McMichael Is The NFL's Most Impatient Player
Early in the fourth quarter of San Diego's eventual loss to the Browns, the Chargers offense (ineffectual for most of the day) managed to scrape together the ten yards necessary for a first down and keep a possible game-winning drive alive.
