The 2012 Super Bowl score read 21-17 for the New York Giants in favor of the New England Patriots. However, the score could have been much different in so many ways in favor of both teams. When the Super Bowl started, it looked like the Giants would run all over the Patriots - and make us forget further that this was a 9-7 team who only won the NFC East because my Philadelphia Eagles didn't show up. But the Patriots hung around long enough in the first half to actually take the lead with one...

The newspaper, citing unidentified “individuals familiar with the episode,” reported Hamilton was drinking at a Dallas-area bar on Monday. In a statement to the newspaper, the Rangers said they were “aware of a situation, but we don’t have further comment at this time.” Hamilton, 30, was suspended for more...
Just when you thought you had seen it all from Blake Griffin, he does this. Last night, in similar fashion to when he rose over Timofey Mosgov last season, Griffin humiliated yet another big man trying to stand between him and the rim. Griffin has nearly a 48" vertical leap and jumped over a (hood of) car in the dunk contest. The only reason Griffin's display in the dunk contest wasn't even more impressive is because we've come to expect too much at this point. I believe a player could...
The Road to WrestleMania is in full force following the completion of the 2012 Royal Rumble. Daniel Bryan retained the World Heavyweight Title, defeating the Big Show and Mark Henry, while CM Punk retained the WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler. Kane and John Cena fought to a double count-out, but it was Kane's aggression towards an already injured Zack Ryder that changed the atmosphere. In the main event, Sheamus outlasted 29 other men (and women) to win the 25th Royal Rumble match. What...
For the Boston Red Sox, pitchers seem to come and go every day, as the team builds its roster ahead of the 2012 season. Fans like me in Red Sox Nation wait for word on whether Roy Oswalt will join the rotation. They note in passing the addition of yet another broken-down starter signed to a long-shot minor league deal, this time former New York Mets pitcher John Maine. Pitcher Tim Wakefield of the Boston Red SoxWikimedia Commons Down in Florida, someone watches all the pitching moves with far...
The NFL Pro Bowl is known for its trick plays, top-notch talents making exciting plays and, of course, having players suit up who are nowhere near deserving of the opportunity. QB Philip Rivers of the San Diego Chargers is not only undeserving as a Pro Bowler, but also is a player that made it solely on his reputation as a top player at the position in the league. So let's take a look at Philip Rivers and some others in this 2012 Pro Bowl that the league should have reconsidered bringing to...
