There’s plenty of exciting NFL action today, but our eyes are set on one matchup in particular: this afternoon’s NFC Easy showdown between the Cowboys and Giants.

Whatever happened to the idea of being cool? And why’s everybody gotta be so damn hard these days?

At 0–17, it’s no secret that New Jersey Nets are an absolute train wreck. But with today’s announcement that Kiki Vandeweghe will be taking over as head coach, the Nets may have found just the remedy to erase the goose egg from the win column. Who better than an NBA Legend to lead a young, […]
Remembering the “Bus” Ride to Superbowl XL. (PSAMP) Belichick loves him a sloppy post-game kiss. (F-Juice) Reggie Bush is an even worse CB than he is a RB.

Derek Jeter may have seen success from the get-go, but he wasn’t always SI’s Sportsman of the Year. In fact, few remember that it wasn’t until after the ’96 series that he truly locked it in.

After leading the Titans to five straight wins, Vince Young is putting on moves we haven’t seen since he single-handedly won the Rose Bowl, and he’s winning games by being both gutsy and smart.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… It is a period of war in the AFC East. After Supreme Chancellor Belichick lost many men in an early season battle with the evil Jets Empire, the Patriot rebellion has been in a state of disarray. A botched 4th down made matters worse, and […]
Young, gifted and ridiculously athletic, the Atlanta Hawks have showed flashes of brilliance, but no one saw them as a legitimate contender coming into this season. It’s been the same story for years — a decent squad, but bowing out in the first round of the playoffs was all that was ever expected. But fifteen […]
After an incredible season, yesterday Zack Greinke became the first pitcher with social anxiety disorder to win a Cy Young.
