Yes, the Denver Broncos beat the New England Patriots on Sunday in the AFC Championship game. And yes, the Broncos will go to the Super Bowl. And yes, Peyton Manning is the first quarterback to lead multiple teams to multiple Super Bowl's. But the biggest story after Sunday's game wasn't any of that. Instead, it was a different Manning stealing the show--no, not Eli--Peyton's 4-year-old son Marshall. Read More »

The long haul of the NBA season can be a grind. Some players need to take games off, and others a few practices here and there. But for Boris Diaw, all he needs is a little coffee, an espresso to be specific.
