The Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder are in the midst of what many are calling one of the most exciting NBA Finals in recent memory.
Say what you want about LeBron James, but there comes a point where one needs to set aside the disdain and hate for him and soak in the skills he displays on the court.
Aside from James, I would venture to say the most important player on the Miami ... Read More

Yes, the runner was called out on this play.
Chances are your team has been hit with the umpire bug at some point this season.
What's the umpire bug you ask? To put it nicely, it is when the umpire completely loses focus of what he is doing on the field and blows a call that could directly change the outcome of the game.

There has long been this notion that major sports media outlets discount the West Coast in just about every sport.
Quick, don't blink, but as of this writing the Los Angeles Kings are on the front page of both ESPN.com and FOXSPORTS.com. Chances are once you hit those pages in a few hours it will have been replaced by either the Eurocup or the NBA Finals.
I can't argue with ... Read More

Imagine this scenario for just a second...

The pool of former NBA players are waiting to be ... Read More

Earlier this month Yahoo! reported that ... Read More

One of the most common things I've heard since the playoffs began is, "I don't care who wins, as long as it's not the Heat."
Are you one of those people?
As somebody who writes 25-50 sports articles and blog posts on various sites throughout the week, I need to try and carry as open of a mind as possible. For whatever reason I too feel a dislike ... Read More

Just two weeks ago the Texas Rangers were coasting along with an eight game lead over the last place Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

As soon as the final horn sounded after Dwyane Wade's missed three-point attempt, I took some time to think about what I had just witnessed.
On one hand, the Boston Celtics tied the series at two games apiece. On the other hand, the end of the game didn't include Paul Pierce or LeBron James because they had both fouled out.
This all occurred ... Read More

San Antonio fans have tasted nothing but success since April 12 when their Spurs beat Memphis. Head Coach Gregg Popovich has led his squad to 20 consecutive wins.

I'm a firm believer in jinxes. ... Read More
