LeBron has been discussing the matter fairly openly in recent days. Debate is the DNA of sports fandom and a divisive issue like contraction fits right in. Unfortunately, too many folks arguing in favor of contra...

Posted on 23 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.

While the term “best win of the season” is often thrown around wildly (sometimes on this very blog), it’s hard to argue that Tuesday night wasn’t the most demonstrative win of the year. Sure, you could argue for blowing out Chicago (ironically, the next opponent ...

Posted on 25 Nov 2010 by 90Soccer.com.
By Shai Mamou AJ Auxerre-AC Milan: 0-2 (Ibrahimovic 64′, Ronaldinho, 90′) It was predictable, AJ Auxerre lost versus AC Milan on Tuesday evening (0-2).

Who’s Got Big Ben’s Back?
Posted on 24 Nov 2010 by Steven Keys.
Come seasons end, Ben Roethlisberger should have a sit-down with his agent and (contract permitting) consider other opportunities around the League where his skills & grit would be better appreciated. Last Sunday when Oakland Raiders’ DE Richard Seymour sent the Steelers' QB tumbling to the turf with a sucker-punch Ben’s teammates had little reaction. Even though Seymour has yet to make...

Posted on 13 Nov 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
It has been a relatively busy week for the Phillies. They hired Juan Samuel to replace Davey Lopes on the coaching staff.
