James Rodríguez Is Out To Prove He's Still The Shit
Nobody in Madrid much likes Colombian superstar James Rodríguez. His teammates don’t like him, his coach doesn’t like him, the fans don’t like him, the president doesn’t like him, even the local cops don’t like him.

A-Rod To Retire Once The Yankees Have Paid Him Every Cent They Owe Him, And Not A Moment Before

Roddy White Says Kyle Shanahan Forced Him Out Of Atlanta
Roddy White’s release by the Falcons last week was not a huge surprise; it’s hard to justify a 34-year-old third WR with a $6 million-plus cap hit. But White’s an interesting case, because he didn’t precisely demonstrate that he can’t play anymore. Instead, he was simply phased out of the gameplan b...
It's Been A Bad Week For Guys You Would Have Killed To Have On Your Fantasy Team In 2010
On Wednesday, the Falcons cut Roddy White. On Thursday, the Texans released Arian Foster. Today, the Colts told Andre Johnson that he’s gone.

Jerod Mayo was probably not going to be a Patriot next season, at least not at his current salary.

Devils Retire Martin Brodeur's Jersey
A long jersey retirement ceremony for Martin Brodeur was made even longer by the fans who wouldn’t let him speak.
