Only 7 months or so removed from being relieved of his duties as the head coach of the Denver Broncos, Mike Shanahan isn't yet jonesing to get back in to the game. He won't stay away from the game too long, though. I think most people would agree on that. ...

Brock Lesnar versus Randy Couture was definitely a little disappointing. Brock said all the wrong things going in to the match - disrespecting his legendary opponent by calling him old, etcetera - but in the end, he simply overpowered the wrestling machine. Do we want to see this rematch considering ...

Wow. Lawrence Taylor is a great interview. I suppose I wouldn't label him a lunatic, but I'd certainly say that he's, um, eccentric, confident and probably not the best person in the world to upset. The Hall of Fame linebacker also happens to be an avid and accomplished golfer. He ...

San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers is just about as excitable a guy as there is in the National Football League. Some consider his flamboyance on the field as disrespectful, annoying and cocky, but love him or hate him, he's still one of the better signal callers in the league. ...

Do the Clippers want to take this chance? Really? A team with a wretched history finally has things turning around, finally has a couple young studs in Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin, finally has fans mildly enthusiastic about the future, and they're thinking about signing Allen Iverson? I love AI ...

The New York Mets seem to be going through their annual swoon at just the wrong time. Whether it's a stretch of poor pitching, an inconsistent bullpen or a dry spell from the bats, the Mets just seem to have a knack at doing just enough to not quite get ...
