Austin was recently snapped celebrating the birthday of Kim’s sister, Khloe, with the entire Kardashian family (including Khloe’s husband, Lakers forward Lamar Odom) on a private yacht. Later, the couple spent the Fourth of July ...
As fans of the NFL, we know what it is like to feel a burning ire for another person simply because his team of choice does not match our own.
When a dyed-in-the-wool fan of one team encounters opposing teams' supporters, love for his own overcomes common sense and produces emotions of extreme intensity. It's part of what makes this game so amazing and keeps us coming back year after year.

The NHL Cap World Is Still Out of Touch with Some Players
Posted: 6th July 2010 by Cory Ducey in NHL
After years of youngsters growing up watching their hockey heroes play, they had two things in mind: I want to play in the NHL and make a lot of money...
Before the insanity that is greed crept into the NHL, there were kids that were saying, "I want to play in the NHL and be like my hockey hero."

DeAngelo Williams or Jonathan Stewart: Who Should Be Drafted First?
Posted: 6th July 2010 by Ryan Lester in NFL
There aren’t many running back by commitee approaches that work as well for fantasy owners as they do for the actual NFL teams, but the Carolina Panthers one-two punch of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart is the exception.
In 2008 they combined for 2,351 yards and 28 touchdowns (Williams: 1,515 and 18, Stewart: 836 and 10). Last year they combined for 2,250 yards and 17 scores (Stewart: 1,133 and 10, Williams ...

Posted: 6th July 2010 by Jonathan Mathis in NBA
It’s a no-brainer within a doleful sporting community that the biggest and most cleverest makeover happening on Fifth Avenue is the New York Knicks reducing all the ridiculous signings and additions that tragically dragged down the richest franchise for all the ill-advised upgrades.
There’s a brighter chance the Knicks will intensify the volume in New York, louder than the typical opera heard daily on Broadway, the active location in an ...

Alex Delvecchio. Gordie Howe. Ted Lindsay. They brought Sid Abel’s ghost in, too.
It didn’t stop there.
Dino Ciccarelli. Brett Hull. Luc Robitaille. Scotty Bowman. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
And on and on. Dozens of Red Wings players, coaches, and management types—past and present.

In the Case of the Capitals’ Offseason, Silence May Be Golden
Posted: 6th July 2010 by Ryan Davenport in NHL
As the big-ticket free agency signings on July 1st and 2nd came and went, the Washington Capitals stood pat (minus presumed minor league netminder Dany Sabourin), which comes as a surprise to many—seeing as the President's Trophy-winning Caps bowed out in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs this Spring.
While pundits will say this is a mistake on General Manager George Mcphee's part, I think it is the ...
The 2010 NHL Draft is over and many writers are doing their analysis of the picks that their team (or teams) have made. Fans are wondering just who their team picked and what this means for the future of the franchise.
How will these new players be able to help their respective teams, either immediately or in the future? Who are these new guys, where did they come from, and what ...

In this slideshow are the results of a poll conducted during the last week of All-Star voting. We've certainly got some different ideas about who should play in the Midsummer Classic; in the American League alone, three ...
