Former NFL kicker Mike Vanderjagt, who cut a controversial swath through a nine-year NFL career, is in trouble again. The first kicker in NFL history to go through an entire season without missing a field goal or extra point (he did that in 2003), Vanderjagt is better known for two incidents...
In the crazy world of Closers 2012, I'm glad there's one guy we can look at with full trust and admiration, a set-it-and-forget-it option.
Come on down, Fernando Rodney.
There's been a different Tampa Bay saves leader in every year of the Joe Maddon Era (which began in 2006), and it sure...

The NBA is full of weird stories and events, but few have ever matched when Mike Woodson, then head coach of the Atlanta Hawks (and now interim boss of the New York Knicks), showed up to a game in January 2010 without any eyebrows. It was a bizarre event, one with many possible outlandish...
It had become apparent over the past few days that the St. Louis Cardinals brass was buying what Mike Matheny was selling as a potential big league manager. They confirmed that belief on Sunday, announcing the 41-year-old former big league catcher as Tony La Russa's successor in the Redbirds...

Whereas Bruce Pearl ditching his shirt and donning orange body paint had been the most memorable display of school spirit from a college basketball coach the past few years, the former Tennessee coach now has some competition.
Check out the way Notre Dame coach Mike Brey culminates his...
Last week we were rudely left with a cliffhanger as Snooki spilled the beans about having sexual intercourse with Vinny to her newly reconciled boyfriend Jionni. Did he freak out? Did...
Where or who can I get mike lu and og from on DvD? I am looking all over for it online and I can't a place where I can buy even burnt copies. I really really really wanna get this series I loved it when I was a kid.
One undeniable aspect of just-retired Mike Modano's appeal as an NHL star was that he was a little bit Hollywood, and not just because he appeared shirtless on magazine covers and married the woman who gave the world "I Wanna Be Bad."
He's also one of the only NHL stars to appear in a World...
I'm one of the many Jamal Charles owners who lost their 1st rounder and is trying to accommodate. My receivers are Kenny Britt, Mike Wallace, Anquan Boldin, and Dez Bryant. My other running back is Mcfadden. Wallace gets 100 yards every single game but I'm hurting at the running back spot...
Mike Schmidt will be signing autographs at my local mall for $80 each, and an added $20 for each inscription. What is the value of an autographed Mike Schmidt rookie card, and would it be worth it to buy an unsigned rookie card of his for $50 online and then pay $80 to get it signed?

It's really hard to not like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2011.
For most of the franchise's existence, they've existed only to lie down for the stronger, more accomplished teams in the league. But today, the Bucs are a young, talented, capable group that works hard for their charismatic coach...

Mike Flanagan played for the Baltimore Orioles when they weren't a punchline.
He made the All-Star Game in 1978, tossed a league-leading five shutouts and won the AL Cy Young Award in '79, pitched on the O's World Series champion club in '83 and was part of a no-hitter in 1991.
