Mark Cuban thinks of everything! The most comfortable chairs on the bench for his team...check. DVD players in every locker for his players...check. The nicest pre and post-game food spreads for his players...check. Precautionary measures for the swine flu...check.
Texas, due to their proximity to Mexico has probably been the state ...

I'd be lying if I said I know much of anything about horse racing. I know I like to gamble on just about anything, and I know that I always watch the Kentucky Derby. Match made in heaven! Something about the anticipation of those two minutes and all the hoopla ...

Every broadcaster brings something different to the table. Many fans couldn't stand John Madden's old school style - he spoke slowly, used the same catch phrases - basically, he was your father's color commentator. With my color guys, I just want them to bring the knowledge, and obviously, John Madden ...

Jarron Gilbert was drafted as the Bears' first pick in the third round. And he was drafted because of his talent as a football player. But he's more famous because of YouTube (and, really, who isn't these days?)

Tracy McGrady finally got out of the first round! He did it! ... While on the injured list. T-Mac has had a rough go of it the last couple years because of injuries and was definitely one of the league's premier players when healthy. Still, it hasn't been a working ...

Nick Saban may or may not be evil. That's not really for me to decide. And regardless of what kind of person he is, he's still a hell of a football coach, which is really all that matters in this business.
And (apparently following some sort of golf tournament) he got ...

The Denver Nuggets won 50 games last season and won 54 this year - those four games made for a lot of difference. People always throw out that some teams are built for the playoffs and in this case it's true. After making the Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups trade ...

I'm not even going to say anything yet. I want to pretend like there's no possibility that former Packers and Jets QB Brett Favre is seriously contemplating one more melodramatic comeback attempt to the National Football League. Well, thankfully his good friend and former teammate Mark Chmura joined ESPN Radio ...
