Holy Shit Watch This Dude Stiff-Arm A Tiger Shark

Tiger Woods Hits Golf Ball For Money

Grambling Football Team Ends Boycott; Situation Still A Mess [Updated]

Your Guide To Giving A Shit About The Red Sox-Cardinals World Series
Though it will feature the two best teams in baseball, this year's World Series will be painful for non-fans of the Red Sox or Cardinals.

Will Instant Replay Kill The Neighborhood Play?
In the end it didn't matter. The Tigers won handily even with Stephen Drew clearly coming well off the bag on a would-be double play in the second inning. (The throw to first would be late.) But what if this extra out, which cost Detroit at least one run, had meant the game? This question's only hyp...
Jim Leyland Smokes Out A Winner
From those who consider "old-school" a derisive term, Jim Leyland tends to get a pass because he's just plain old. He's the guy who took advantage of the power outage in Game 3 to light up a Marlboro Red in the dugout. He's the guy who, after Detroit fell 1-0 to go down in the ALCS, laid down on his...
