It may sound like a joke, and in fact it would probably be a very good joke, but rest assured it is not one. At the world cyclo-cross championship in Belgium, race organizers found a hidden motor inside the bike of 19-year-old Femke Van den Driessche. Read More »
This is big news. Perhaps the biggest news to come out of the great football conference that is the SEC this offseason. Tuesday night, Kevin Brown, a student at LSU (an SEC school), missed a pair football related questions on a game of "Jeopardy!" Not only that, but they were football questions pertaining to the SEC. Shocking, right? Read More »

One of the bigger spectacles in all of the United States is now just a few days away: the Super Bowl. You know, that one sporting event typically watched by everybody; the same one that gives people a real good excuse to eat an inordinate amount of spinach dip--not to mention the whacky commercials. Yes, that one. And while we could talk about all the intricacies of what makes the Super Bowl what it is, lest we not forget that two teams play actually play a football game, too. This year it's the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. So let's talk about that. We'll even make a prediction. Read More »
Last month, a picture of an Afghan boy wearing a plastic bag as a Lionel Messi Jersey--it was colored with the vertical blue and white stripes of the Argentina national team, with Messi's name and number written on the back--began circulating around the Internet, eventually going viral. Fast forward a couple of weeks and it looks like the boy--Murtaza Ahmadi, a 5-year-old boy who lives in rural Afghanistan--may be getting the opportunity to meet the man who inspired the jersey.

Any time there's construction, you're likely to unearth a few things. You know, an old watch, a lava lamp from the 90's, or perhaps even buried treasure. But what you don't expect to find--even on the most unordinary of days--is a pile of mammoth bones. And yet that's exactly what happened at the University of Oregon State when construction crews began digging in the north end zone in Reser Stadium on Monday (their football field). Read More »
What were you doing at 13? Making mud pies? Learning to differentiate between there, their and they're? A child genius studying Astrophysics at Cornell? In any case, whatever it was, it probably wasn't winning gold at the X-Games, which is exactly what Kelly Sildaru was able to do. Read More »
Travis Kelce is enjoying a rather pleasant week both on and off the field. Not only is the Kansas City Chiefs tight end exploring all that Hawaii has to offer as a member of the Pro-Bowl, he has also signed a 5-year-extension with the Chiefs, as well as locked in his very own reality dating show (not kidding--there's going to be 50 women, one from each state)!

Jose Aldo is requesting--no, demanding--a rematch with Conor McGregor. The former featherweight champion, who was dethroned by McGregor back in December in a fight that took the same amount of time it takes to slip on a sock, took to social media to express his desire for such a fight. Read More »
Jordan Jenkins is a senior linebacker out of the University of Georgia. He's taking part in college's annual Senior Bowl, looking to bolster his stock for the upcoming NFL Draft. Naturally, everything in his metaphorical locker is being closely examined. That means his pinky, too. Which, according to the spec sheet handed out to scouts, is deformed. Something Jenkins has no qualms talking about. Read More »
There's a long line of Gronkowski's who have either played in the NFL, or are in the NFL currently. There's Chris, Dan, and of course Rob--who can forget Rob. And now, it looks like there could be another: Glenn, the youngest of Gronk's, and a draft eligible player for the upcoming draft after declaring his intentions to leave Kansas State, despite having one more year of eligibility.

Everybody can use a little pick-me-up now and again--even superstar basketball players. You know, a little insightful perspective to recharge and refocus. Take Dwyane Wade, for example, who had recently struggled with a dip in form. That is, until he received a couple of well thought out, borderline inspirational speaker-like, text messages from his son Zaire before the Miami Heat's game against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
