Reggie Miller can't figure out what the big deal is.

Was it what I said, or who I said it to?

North Dakota's play-by-play radio man, Paul Ralston, may be asking himself this after being benched by the university for using the phrase "choke job" in a post-game interview with coach Brian Jones.

Cal basketball coach, Mike Montgomery, believes in a very "hands-on" approach to motivation.

A well-timed motivational tactic or a physical assault worthy of suspension, firing, or criminal charges?

Sunday would be better served as a recovery day after a long night of Super Bowl partying.

The NFL is taking a proactive approach to the potential of bad weather for next year's Super Bowl in New Jersey -- the first time the game will be played in a cold-weather region in a stadium exposed to the elements.

Although he passed in 2012, the battle for JoePa's legacy will live on for years.

Few things in this world are as black and white -- pure good or complete evil -- as they are often presented.

As hard as it is to say, Jerry Sandusky most likely was a very nice person to many people and completed various acts of kindness -- contributing to the disbelief of what was secretly going on in his life. Similarly, ... Read More

As if it wasn't already hard enough to recruit the nation's top high school football talent, apparently the key to winning over that future All-American isn't a sales pitch. It's mom.

Is this Oprah or a football game?


Maybe I'm mistaken, but the last time I checked the Super Bowl is a sporting event -- not a spectacle where politics or reality t.v. sensationalism have a seat. Sports is a release from life and the tragedies that befall us from time to time. The greatest night in all of professional ... Read More

Would you put your own wife or girlfriend into the wall if you had the chance?


Rubbin's Racin' just took on a whole new meaning for NASCAR drivers Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Read option quarterbacks should master the slide if they want to last in the NFL

Do some NCAA bylaws go beyond protecting collegiate sports by contradicting the mission of the NCAA?

The Iowa basketball team isn't protesting or crying foul. They found other ways to remember the 20th anniversary of the death of Hawkeyes basketball player Chris Street.

Did New England and Bill Belichick get beat at their own game?


It was only a matter of time before the hoodie behind Spygate finally got a taste of his own medicine.

If the NFL is a quarterback-driven league, how important are those responsible for protecting the driver?


Offensive linemen have one job: Get in the way without getting in the way. It sounds simple enough yet complicated at the same time. It's football's catch-22 position. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

While watching NFL teams rack up major yards and big-time points during the two-minute drill I've often thought to myself, "Why don't teams do that all the time?!"

I may finally get my answer with the hiring of former Oregon Ducks head coach, Chip Kelly, to the ... Read More

The conference of Legends and Leaders may be in for a divisional name change leaving its current branding campaign looking loathed and lost.

According to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delaney has noted that new division names are a real possibility for the conference in 2014. A decision ... Read More
