In honor of the lovable, loatheable Trop, now is as good a time as ever to count down Major League Baseball's worst stadiums. For the record, this is a difficult list to make, since baseball is awesome and stadiums seem to get grander every year. But these five teams managed. Read More »
All three players have a ton of size and make scouts salivate with crazy upside. The final decision may depend on what the team drafting prefers — whether they favor a post player or a point guard, and whether or not they favor polish. Let's dig deeper into each candidate. Read More »
Get ready to laugh. There were apparently three people that complained to the FCC after Sunday's NFL broadcast of the Patriots vs. Dolphins showed Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady cursing on-screen. Did you hear what he said? No? Apparently neither did they! The complaints came as a result of lip-reading. Read More »
This week, 23-year-old cancer patient Julie Kramer was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she told her story. It was there that Phillies 2B Chase Utley made time to give the super fan a crazy surprise. Read More »
Your initial reaction to the news that former Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini has signed on to coach at Youngstown State, an FCS school, after leading the Cornhuskers to 67 wins in seven seasons may be ... confusion? Surely being fired means the next job will be a step down. But why did one of the best coaches in college football go a whole level down? Read More »
Yankees GM Brian Cashman left no question as to how signing Chase Headley will affect incumbent overpaid headache, Alex Rodriguez, who also played third base before his full-year suspension from the league following the Biogenesis scandal. A-Rod, Cashman says, is now the most expensive DH on the planet. But can he still hit? Read More »
Thierry Henry will be remembered as a champion. The list of trophies he's listed is eye-opening. Between 1999 and 2007, Henry's teams won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups. He added a Champions League championship after moving on to Barcelona, and won the World Cup with France in 2009. But where does he rank among best Premier League players of all-time? "It's been an incredible journey," Henry told BCC. Read More »
Right after Lester was introduced at a Cubs press conference, the club unveiled his new Chicago jersey. Lester will wear No. 34 because his old number, No. 31, is retired by Chicago. Guess who wears No. 34 on Boston, where Lester played for more than eight seasons? That's right, Big Papi. Read More »
With the NBA regular season just more than a quarter of the way through, there's still a ton of time left to play. But what's the fun of waiting until the spring to consider the league's awards winners? The 2014-15 season has so far been defined by surprises: The Golden State Warriors are the top team in the league at 20-2 and the Toronto Raptors lead the Eastern Conference. Furthermore, if the season ended today, the Cleveland Cavaliers would be a No. 5 seed and the Oklahoma City Thunder wouldn't be playoff eligible. All this strangeness lends itself to the most exciting MVP race in recent memory. Who's the most responsible for turning the league on its head? Let's meet the contenders. Read More »
"I would love to fight Manny Pacquiao," Mayweather told Showtime. "We tried to make it the fight happen years ago; we had problems with random blood and urine testing. I just want to be on an even playing field. Now he's ina very, very tight situation. He lost to Marquez, he's lost to Bradley. Pay-per-view numbers are extremely low. He's desperate." Read More »
If Brian Cashman is being truthful and the Yankees don't sign Scherzer, then they are clearly not contenders. Cashman said recently that Scherzer's asking price of $200 million is too high. Who are these Yankees? When is any price tag too high? Maybe its the Yankees that have learned from disastrous deals they've made with free agents in the past. Those mistakes stare them in the face every day: Mark Teixiera from first base, Alex Rodriguez from third, or the bench, or the front page of the tabloids, CC Sabathia from the snack stand. The Yankees are filled with aging, expensive players who are well past their prime (and we haven't even mentioned Carlos Beltran). So maybe restraining from pulling the trigger on Scherzer, who has won 39 games over the past two seasons, is the right move? Read More »
Other intriguing matchups include Arsenal taking on Monaco, as Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger gets a chance to play his former team. "I'm not against it at all," Wenger told the Daily Mail. "It would be a visit to my first home. Of course I would love to go there. Also look out for Chelsea, who was paired with Ligue 1 champs Saint-Germain in a game that pins David Luiz against his former club. Read More »
Yasiel Puig spent last week celebrating his 24th birthday appearing on video game covers and selling a whole mess of vitamin water. How would the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar follow that? Could it be topped? Turns out he spent this week — during which the Dodgers completely overhauled their roster — mainly chilling. That is, according to his Instragram. Puig made nine posts to Instagram this week, an Adrian Gonzalez-like slow week for him that started with a snap of him and DJ Khaled because, you know, they the best. But after that things died down in the life of Yasiel Puig, which apparently means playing a lot of FIFA. Puig's from Cuba and he's 24, so the fact that he unwinds with FIFA isn't exactly a suprise. But that he's this proud of his wins maybe is. Puig published four FIFA videos to Instagram this week, the first three followed immediately by two of grainy footage of a muscular man climbing out of a pool. Boy, would a translator help out here. Then a day later Puig honored his fellow Los Angeles sports star Kobe Bryant with a fitting tribute when Bryant passed Michael Jordan to become third on the all-time NBA scoring list. The photo is a graphic of Bryant driving to the hoop and Puig, next to him, bowing — because it seems that trip to Japan had a lasting impression on young Yasiel. Above the graphic is a list of the NBA all-time scoring leaderboard, with Bryant highlighted above Jordan. Maybe this is an elaborate marketing ploy by Puig to make him more L.A.-likable, or maybe the kid just admires greatness. He has the potential for it one day for sure. Read More »
