This Footlocker ad is genius

College sports is a multi-billion dollar industry and yet it's against NCAA rules to pay the very people who make the industry possible. This at the same time the NCAA President earns almost $2MM per year and coaches can make upwards of $6MM. Most defenses for the status quo circle

Written by Eben Britton, a former right tackle in the NFL, on what it took him to stay in the league as long as he did. Continue to full article

I never followed the recent protests at the University of Missouri all that closely but to force the resignation of a school President (basically via extortion), I thought whatever caused it must have been a big deal. And then I read a piece on Fox Sports by Clay Travis and

Evidently the Dept of Defense has paid the NFL more than $6MM over the last 4 years to honor military servicemen during games. I, like most people I suspect, believed these displays were organic in nature, not advertisements. That's not to say I believe these sports teams necessarily did the

I have to wonder, why is NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seemingly so hell-bent on dragging Tom Brady's name through the mud? The league leaked the initial report to ESPN (and then never corrected it) claiming 11 of 12 footballs were 2psi under the limit which points the finger at the

Tim Duncan, not Kobe, not Shaq, not even LeBron, is the best player since Michael Jordan. And to think how close he was to wearing Celtic green.

Let's get one thing straight right off the bat -- the NFL couldn't have cared less about air pressure in footballs before a Colts beat writer reported about underinflated footballs being used in the first half of the AFC Championship game, a game in which the Colts were destroyed 45-7.

Skeffington and the new Pawsox ownership group are trying to take RI'ers for a ride. They claim they'll pay the $85M to build a new stadium in Providence but they want the taxpayers of the state to pay them $120M over 30 years -- $4M/yr. They claim with the

The only reason we know who Tom Brady is, because of a tuck rule.Ray Lewis has made a habit of making comments that immediately make you think of Ray Lewis' past. He should stop that. A post at The Cauldron makes the case.

I know I'm prejudiced and I know I'm bigoted in a lot of different ways. [...] None of us have pure thoughts; we all live in glass houses. ~Mark CubanMark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was at a conference in Nashville and was asked about Donald Sterling's situation, among other

Michael Sam has played us for fools. He was never interested in fitting in, just being a football player and having us judge him solely based on his efforts on the football field. He was only interested in maximizing the few fleeting moments he will have in the spotlight before

It wouldn't surprise me if Donald Sterling was a rich, arrogant prick who holds unpopular views of people who are different from him. And it wouldn't surprise me if many of the people who came out in fits of righteous indignation after the exposure of some of those views, including

On my way into work I'm listening to a local sports station and they're talking about where this year's Red Sox World Series win ranks in the recent history of local sports. I was surprised with how those guys ranked this win, putting it above 2004 and 2007. Perhaps it

David Ortiz comes through with a timely grand slam tying the Red Sox / Tigers game in the 8th inning of Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS and the debate over the existence of "clutch" re-emerges. A "clutch" player has been defined as someone who performs better in high pressure situations

Baseball writers elected no one to the Hall of Fame this year for the first time in 16 years. I understand the likes of Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, Sosa and Palmeiro not getting elected -- the stink of alleged or admitted PED still hangs over them -- but to not elect

I know marching bands catch a lot of flak for being nerdy and the like, but the skill needed to pull this off is significant. OSU has a sick marching band.

Stating he'd retire at the end of the season, Joe Paterno apparently thought he could exit the stage on his own terms. It would seem the board of trustees didn't think that was soon enough, when they fired him and the University President yesterday. Talk about a terrible way to
