Make LeBron James angry and you'll likely find yourself sending baskets of tasty treats with kind little notes attached begging for forgiveness.

The St. Louis Cardinals introduced new signing Seung-hwan Oh on Monday, a 33-year-old reliever who has played professionally in Korea and Japan. It's a good move for many reasons, which undoubtedly include his skills on the mound.

On Monday night Alabama defeated Clemson in the College Football National Championship. It was an exciting game; a great game, even, with plenty of scoring and plenty of drama.

The score had no effect on the outcome of the game, but it did cost some people millions of dollars. Read More »
Manchester United took on Premier League bottom feeders Newcastle United. It was pegged to be a real yawn-fest. Not because United would run away with it, but because both teams have been struggling for goals. However, that wasn't the case on Tuesday. The game turned into a real thriller. There was drama, excitement, and goals. Some pretty spectacular goals, too--cough, cough, Wayne Rooney. Ultimately, though, United would squander a lead not once, but twice, as Newcastle were able to equalize in the dying minutes of the game to steal a share of the points. Read More »

While the holidays can be overwhelming (50% off of everything at IKEA, eek!), it's really meant to be a time for giving--something that Mike Trout fully embraces. The Los Angeles Angels center fielder took time out of his Christmas Eve to give presents and comfort to a New Jersey family in need. Read More »
Before Steph Curry became the superstar player that he is today, there was Jimmer Fredette. OK, that may be a bit of a stretch, but during 2010-11, there might not have been a more popular basketball player. He was the college player of the year at BYU, he made the absurd look routine, and he enjoyed a pretty healthy YouTube following. However, Fredette has fallen a long way from that stardom. He now plies his trade with the Westchester Knicks, in the NBA's Development League. Read More »
Johnny Manziel and LeBron James are known to be buddies, but even their personal relationship couldn't salvage their business one. James' marketing agency, LRMR, dropped the Cleveland Browns quarterback as a client. The firm explained their decision, saying that the direction of the company is taking them away from individual clients to instead shift toward a broader focus, but Manziel's continuous off-the-field mishaps could have only aided in that decision.

It can lead you to do some regretful things, as was evident on Wednesday, when Espanyol goalkeeper Pau Lopez appeared to stomp on Messi's leg during Barcelona's 4-1 victory in the Copa del Rey.
