Kobe's Huge in China
His name may sound Japanese, but the Chinese sure do love them some Kobe. It's no secret that the NBA guys are superstars over there, but this is just silly. I mean imagine.

Caleb Campbell: The Army's Loss Is The Detroit Lions' Legal Gain?
The Army blew it.

A-Rod's Marital Woes Won't Stop Capitalism
As the Alex Rodriguez divorce/affair/Madonna mess reaches almost a full week of circulation, ESPN is forced to address it.

Red Sox Nation Will Treat This News With The Proper Amount Of Restraint And Sympathy
After days of speculating about the state of Alex Rodriguez's marriage it appears that the one truthful item out of this whole entire scandal is that he and his wife, Cynthia (can't bring myself to say "C-Rod" — yet) are not getting along.

And The Alex Rodriguez Affair Saga Takes Another Wild, Unsubstantiated Turn For The Unequivocally Absurd
