Former Baltimore Ravens Tough Guy Tony Siragusa Should Lose His Man-Card For This

This is just too funny. Former NFL tough guy Tony Siragusa is staring in a commercial for Depends. Yes, Depends sports fans; adult protection (in case you leak down there).

They don't look like diapers; more like something you slip in--a shield or guard as they call it.

Tim Duncan's Divorce Possibly Involves Sordid Affair

The news of San Antonio Spurs superstar Tim Duncan's divorce surprised many when it broke recently. As a few details start to emerge there are bound to be even more surprises--like the fact that Tim Duncan felt the need to hire a private investigator!

Arizona Cardinals Running Ryan Williams Makes Ultimate Mistake

Ryan Williams looked like the real deal in his one full season at Virginia Tech. Even in his abbreviated second season he didn't look half bad. His short professional career has been something else entirely. While injuries have had a lot to do with his limited success in the NFL, a recent admission puts his future potential in a dark light.

I can't get hurt while I'm carrying pads...

Katherine Webb Engaged to that Quarterback She's Been Dating?

Ever since Brent Musburger waxed poetic about Katherine Webb during the BCS Championship last season the former Miss Alabama has become America's Sweetheart. Thanks to her new found notoriety she can say 'been there, done that' to a lot of the things many of us just dream about.

And it's all because she happened to be dating the quarterback of the Alabama Crimson Tide; what's his name...ummm...uhhhh...

Now the question that is on everyone's mind is this--has her boyfriend put a ring on it?

Indiana Pacers Prove Team Can Beat Star Power

Indiana Pacers Prove Team Can Beat Star Power

The general consensus going into the NBA post season was that the Western Conference was playing for the right to be runner-up to the Miami Heat. LeBron James and company are playing way too good for anyone to even come close to beating these guys in a best of seven series.

And so far they would be right. However, after losing to the Indiana Pacers in Game Two and being pushed to the brink in Game One basketball fans around the world are starting to believe the impossible is possible.

Titus Young Continues Downward Spiral; Ignores Judge in Court

Few people have crashed and burned quite like former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young. What first looked like another case of a football player that got too big for his britches turned into one about a guy that needs help dealing with some mental issues.

As much as I want to feel for the guy, after hearing about his latest exploit in court, well--you can only feel for someone so much that takes every chance possible to do himself harm.

Tim Duncan is Cool With the Divorce But Not Till After the Playoffs

The San Antonio Spurs need to have Tim Duncan focused and ready to play. He is no longer the leading scorer on the team, but his contribution is immeasurable as he sets the example that every young player should hope to follow--which is why he has to be focused when the Spurs take on the Grizzlies

And not sweating divorce proceedings

Seattle Seahawks Rookie Has Incredible Vertical Leap

The players you take in the draft are guys that are not only great athletes, but proven commodities. The guys invited into camp as undrafted free agents you bring in because there is something about them that makes you want to take a closer look.

Idaho Receiver Justin Veltung is only 5'11" and caught fewer balls over the length of his career then some guys catch in half a season (62; eight for touchdowns). But with a standing vertical leap like this the Seahawks are curious to see what he can do.

Ohio State's Urban Meyer Tells Recruit He Likes His Butt (and he did not lie)

Recruiting high school players has to be tough on college coaches. As if sifting through the millions of high school athletes to find the diamonds wasn't challenging enough, but competing with every other program for a teenage kid's attention has to be tough.

So when you meet with a recruit like Raekwon McMillan, the top linebacker in the country, you have to pull out all the stops--like Urban Meyer did.

Mike Tyson Steals the Show at UFC 160 Weigh-in

The story Saturday night at UFC 160 in Vegas is the fight between two titans of the Octagon, Cain Velasquez and Antonio Silva. However, at the weigh-in the story (at least for me) is Mike Tyson.

No, Iron Mike is not coming out of retirement and stepping in to fight Nick Diaz or anything. It's the look on his face when Khabib Nurmagomedov and Abel Trujillo squared off during the weigh-in process.

Indiana's Paul George Posterizes Chris Anderson with Awesome Slam; TNT Crew Has Fun With It

Fans watching Game Two of the Eastern Conference Finals will be able to say that they saw Indiana's Paul George before he became a household name. George has been a solid player all season, but after the way he has played on the largest stage against the toughest team in the NBA--

Yeah, I think folks are going to be talking about this kid for awhile. Especially that dunk he threw down on Birdman...

The Plaxico Burress Collection--of Socks (seriously)

Life after football is something that no player looks forward to dealing with. For Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress it will not be as shocking as it will be for others since he has already stepped away from the game once (when he went to jail).

Maybe since Plaxico has already stepped away from the game once he's trying to make sure that he has a fall back plan that does not involve going to prison.

Socks.

Memphis Tigers Senior D.J. Stephens Records Highest Vertical Leap in NBA History

D.J. Stephens was a good player in college--just like a lot of guys. There was next to no chance he was going to be drafted into the NBA up until he was working out for the Brooklyn Nets and made NBA history in the process.

Anonymous Player Strikes Again For New York Jets

If there was one thing that the New York Jets could have done without last season it was the 'Anonymous Player.' This person(s) caused all kinds of havoc and provided the media with one headline after another bashing Tim Tebow and getting bashed himself.

Well--it appears that the 'Anonymous Player' is back.

Ottawa Senators Head Coach Paul MacLean Gives Best News Conference Ever

Let me qualify what I mean by the best news conference ever. It wasn't a ridiculous kind of conference where someone starting shouting he was a man or about the playoffs or any of a number of epic rants that we've enjoyed over the years.

No, this is one that if I was a player for this team or a fan I'd be so pumped up for the next game. Imagine the way you feel every tie you hear Al Pacino's 'Inches' speech from Any Given Sunday. That's the feeling I get watching this bad boy.



Screw the fact that MacLean's Senators got blown out 7-3 by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the one that just finished. His guys are going to make up for it next time out.

Going...Going...Gone: Mike Trout Blasts Longest Home Run of his Career

When you do something crazy like become the youngest player in the history of the American League to hit for the cycle--like Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout--following that up with something comparable is pretty tough to do.

Mike Trout did his best to follow up his historic game and didn't do a bad job of it smacking the ball 463 feet making it the longest home run of his young career.



Yeah, I think this kid is going to be good. Just a little bit.

Red Sox Reliever Koji Uehara Sets the Bar For High-Fives--So Watch Out!

If you are lucky enough to get a chance to play Major League Baseball you should be pretty excited. If you do something really good during a game you should be pumped up. It's only natural, right? That being said, when your teammate does something big you should be ready to celebrate too.

Boston outfielder Shane Victorino should know this by now, especially when reliever Koji Uehara comes off the mound. He wasn't during Wednesday night's game and got a wake up call in the process.

Derek Jeter 'Caught' Nabbing Coffee Belonging to 'Phillip' (not really)

In his time off it appears that New York Yankees superstar Derek Jeter likes to troll the local Starbucks for free coffee whenever someone doesn't answer the call when their name is announced.

Don't laugh. That crap is expensive (and so damn good).

MMA Fighter Loses 'Fight' With Sex Gel (It Burns Man! It Burns!)

It must suck to be MMA fighter Michael Waylon Lowe. No, not because he sucks or recently got his behind handed to him or anything. Because he tried to use some gel to help him, umm--keep his little fighter fighting longer--and it back fired horribly.

Apparently he used the Kama Sutra Pleasure Balm Prolonging Gel and was burned--literally and badly.

Robert Griffin III Gets a Little Work in During OTAs

All of Washington and fans all over the country will be eager to see if and when Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is able to return to the playing field. Knee injuries are tough, but far from impossible to return from.

Indiana's Paul George and Miami's LeBron James Define Clutch in Exciting Game One

The general perception is that the NBA Finals trophy belongs to the Miami Heat already; it is there's to lose. The only hope is that whomever they play will at least give them a good game and make the journey entertaining to watch along the way.

If Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals is any indication there is no reason to believe that there is not a lot of great basketball coming up!

J.J Watt's Mega Watt Shoes Coming Soon!

You know you've made it when a shoe company wants to make a show and name it after you. If there is anyone that has 'made it' and did not have a shoe already it was Houston Texans defensive beast J.J. Watt.

Yes, was--according to the man himself Nike will be dropping the Mega Watt shoe any day now!

No word yet if they'll help you swat like Watt or put the fear of God into quarterbacks like J.J. does.

Coming Soon. #MegaWatt twitter.com/JJWatt/status/…

So What's Next for Brian Urlacher?

The Chicago Bears already said good bye to Brian Urlacher, but the former great didn't decide to call it a career until yesterday (Wednesday). Personally, I didn't see him really hanging it up; I thought he was likely going to drag his feet filing his papers and as soon as someone got hurt and teams had a need he would be back.

After reading some of his comments in the Chicago Tribune I've changed my mind. We've seen the last of Brian Urlacher in a football uniform.

Redskins Linebacker Brian Orakpo is Ready for Battle; Shows Off New Face Mask

Things like Twitter allows fans to catch athletes and celebrities at their worst when they 'accidentally' tweet something stupid (often while drunk), but occasionally it allows fans to get a little insight into our favorite players.

Like when Brian Orakpo, linebacker for the Washington Redskins, tweeted this picture of his new face mask. I swear, if I din't know better I would think he was preparing for a joust and taking a seat at King Arthur's Round Table!

IM BAAAACKKKKK.....RedskinNation StandUp #HTTR twitter.com/rak98/status/3…

Miami Heat Play With Balls Other than the Basketball (Roy Hibbert's and David West's)

What the heck is it with shots to the family jewels lately? Don't guys still consider that region sacred? Whatever happened to the "I will not hit anyone else there because I don't want to get hit there" logic? Because the Miami Heat sure didn't follow it in Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals Wednesday night!
