Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bradie James isn't usually the first name that comes to mind when one thinks about the Cowboys. That'd probably be Tony Romo or former wide receiver Terrell Owens. Perhaps even tight end Jason Witten. Nevertheless, James was an integral part of the Cowboys defense last year. He registered ...

Lenny Dykstra sure seems to be going through some tough times. He may not admit it, as you'll hear, but Dykstra has been subject to a number of trying circumstances in his personal and professional life. What's he do for a living, you might ask? Well, a little of this, ...

The start of college football is around the corner for the Tennessee Volunteers and the rest of the country. Head coach Lane Kiffin certainly has people in Knoxville excited about the program after a disappointing end to the Phillip Fulmer era. Kiffin joined WGFX in Tennessee late last week to ...

I've gone through this with my slow-pitch softball team lately (no, no one threw a perfect game against us in slow-pitch), but bad hitting is contagious. Not to say Buehrle was lucky, but once a pitcher gets inside the mind of hitters, look out. Hitters start reaching for their troll ...

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings finally got the contract he wanted this offseason. Now he can concentrate on football and helping the Packers get back to the playoffs after a disappointing 6-10 season a year ago.

Anthony Parker's time is winding down in the NBA - not many more fresh towels or highly cushioned chairs in the locker room, and he'll be saying goodbye to those gourmet almonds on the plane pretty soon. Does his age matter with this Cavs team? One of Cleveland's two insurmountable ...

If only Tim Tebow could join the Delta Tau Chi fraternity from the movie Animal House. Seventh and eighth year seniors were the norm at Faber College, and I'm sure with a dean as crooked as Dean Wormer, they could have squeezed a few extra years of eligibility for Tebow ...

If not for the outstanding rookie season turned in by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, Houston Texans running back Steve Slaton likely would have been the 2008 NFL Rookie of the Year. He finished with 1,282 yards, 9 touchdowns and 50 receptions for 377 yards. Slaton joined KILT in Houston to ...
