Friday night, the NBA celebrated the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and introduced the class of 2015. Read More »
The 2015 MLB Hall of Fame entrants have been announced, and, along with one third-try entrant, three first-time balloteers have made it in to Cooperstown. Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio have been inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame, while Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Ranes missed out. Read More »
In about a week the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame voting will be revealed, and we will see who makes up the Cooperstown class of 2015. After no candidates were selected in 2013, the 2014 class inducted pitchers Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and first baseman Frank Thomas. This year's ballot is stacked, with sure-things like Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez, good candidates with chart history like Mike Piazza and Craig Biggio, and disgraced superstars like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. But one name that consistently gets overlooked is Gary Sheffield's. Gary Sheffield has Hall of Fame numbers. But he is linked to the BALCO scandal that played a role in bringing Bonds down, and his ties to performance-enhancing drug use has made him an afterthought, according to Bleacher Report. He won't receive the required 75 percent of the vote to become a first-ballot elect, but will he even hang around on the ballot? If not, he would be the second player with 500 career home runs to prematurely lose eligibility. Rafael Palmeiro has basically been blackballed because of his proven drug use, his 3,000 hits and 500 home runs be damned. But for various reasons, Sheffield's accomplishments are even less public knowledge. Let's take a look at them: Read More »
Merry Christmas to the 96,700 morons who follow former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling on Twitter — the arrestingly hypocritical blowhard celebrated the holiday by spewing a slew of irrational thoughts from his bigger-than-he-thinks-people-notice head. In the past 72 hours, Schilling has attacked President Barack Obama, Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and, in a hilarious twist of irony, the American media. Since that last little entity is what currently employs Schilling, who's eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time this year, let's start there. "Most corrupt media on earth #AmericaInFiveWords," Schilling tweeted Saturday, Dec. 27. Schilling has worked as a baseball analyst for ESPN, the single most rich and powerful sports media company in the world, since 2010, according to the company's website. Who was it again who hyped Schilling's "bloody sock" performance in the 2004 American League Championship Series so hard that it so rapidly cemented into baseball immortality that it basically overshadowed an injury-plagued career mired by regular-season mediocrity? Yeah, that was the media, too. Read More »

Rock has overtaken the Billboard 200, as Avenged Sevenfold's latest album, "Hail to the King" debuted at the No. 1 spot on the album-sales tracking chart. Led by the hard-hitting hard rock single of the same name, "Hail to the King" sold 159,000 copies in its first week, according to Billboard, and that was enough to knock Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" from the top spot after that record reigned supreme for two weeks.
