Since it was not merely good enough to proclaim that Curry is a great shooter – [...]
There are many awards in sports that are ambiguous and hard to figure out. One that shouldn’t be is the Naismith Player of the Year Award, which this year should — but won’t — guy to a guy who isn’t even on voters’ radar screens.
Michael Jordan will always be the game’s most important basketball player. He left his lasting imprint on the game, and in so many ways ushered us into a new era. Still, he remains an outlier. LeBron James is taking the sport in a different direction — the right one.
Two weeks ago, Colin Cowherd once again lowered himself to the pit of hyperbolic and idiotic reasoning when he suggested that Indiana fans were racist for not showing up to Pacers’ games.
Gareth Bale is a spectacular talent, but soccer fans are deprived of seeing him at his best more often because of arcane rules that could use some tweaking.
Don’t look now, but LeBron James is submitting the greatest individual NBA season since the Big Dipper was averaging 50 points and the Big O was averaging a triple-double. Actually, maybe you should look. Because for the first time in over a decade, the title of GOAT is officially up for grabs.

What we have, today, are our top 12 teams that are ready to participate in the winner-take-all tournament tomorrow.
Which college coaches have gotten the LEAST out of their talent? Which schools really HAVE put out the best pros in the last fifteen or so years? Are the stereotypes still true? Let’s rank the schools from 10 to 1.
As Manti Te’o, Notre Dame, and Catfish gain momentum in the national media, we are all left with more questions than answers.
Here are my five takes from the weekend that was in the NFL, including one about Peyton Manning and Tom Brady that you probably would not expect an avowed Manning fan and supporter to make.
Alabama beat down the #1 ranked Fighting Irish in last night’s BCS Title Game. So…what’s this have to do with the SEC? Actually not a whole lot. But if you spent even five minutes on Facebook or Twitter last night, you were probably informed otherwise.
This year’s award races are among the tightest and most interesting in recent memory. So who really deserves each award? The answers are more obvious than you may think.
