While I’m sure most of you are frustrated with this year’s tournament because your bracket was busted early by underdogs like Norfolk State and Lehigh, you are probably still interested in what should be one of the most entertaining Final Fours in recent years. This weekend, Kansas, Ohio State, Kentucky, and Louisville—four traditional power house programs—will travel to New...
It’s a bittersweet week knowing that the Super Bowl is tomorow.  While the game should be wildly exciting, it also means the last game of NFL season is here. It seems like just yesterday we were all unsure whether there would even be a season, and now the New York Giants and New England Patriots are facing off in...
The Texas Rangers have an idea of what Yu Darvish can be in the Major Leagues, hints the $112 million they paid to get him to Arlington.  But, now that he is on U.S. soil, how will his performance affect the Rangers in their quest for a third straight American League crown?

The Green Bay Packers became the first team in the NFL this season to win 10 games and are poised to make a serious run at a perfect season, a...
As the NBA lockout continues, our thirst for basketball must be quenched by the thrilling game that is college basketball. In a sport that recently  has been highlighted by “one and done” players, this year should be refreshing in that many of last year’s star freshmen decided to return for their sophomore years. In fact 4 of the 5...
Number one versus number two. Undefeated, bitter rivals. Division, conference, and national title implications on the line. There’s a reason that this Saturday’s matchup between top-ranked Louisiana State University and second-ranked University of Alabama is being billed the “Game of the Century,” a title specially reserved for regular season games between the two top ranked teams in college football.
