H.G.H Testing In The NFL?
As the National Football League gears toward a lockout in 2011, a recent development may add another twist to the proceedings when the billionaire owners and millionaire players squabble in the upcoming labor discussions. Earlier this week, British Rugby player, Terry Newton was suspended for two years by the United Kingdom Anti-Doping Authority [...]
Team USA, Tiger, & The Bumbling Bears
People say that February is a dead period for sports. It's either that, or that people are depressed by bad weather, horrendous drivers, or the thought of another injury riddled Cubs season that is right around the corner.

Bulls & NBA Trade Deadline Recap

It was quite a site seeing the players look at the [...]

The fact that he plays in Oklahoma City for the former SuperSonics doesn't help his mainstream cause. [...]
SuperBowl XLIV Preview
Where did the season go? The NFL season is all but over, and I'm not especially happy about it. It feels like yesterday I was gearing up for Week 1, but here we are at Super Bowl week with the top two seeds in each conference.
