Today, I caught the tail end of Jack and Jackie Harbaugh (father and mother of the Harbowl brothers) doing a press conference to a room packed with ravenous reporters. Apologies to my Ranters for not catching the whole thing. (Hoping to go to Beyonce’s tomorrow so stay tuned folks). Much thanks to Gatorade for getting [...]
The Tampa Bay Lightning set out on a mission to upgrade their defense this past offseason. They did just that, adding two veteran defensemen in Sami Salo and Matt Carle, who haven’t disappointed. Obviously joining a new team is never easy but both players, especially Salo, have handled the transition quite well. A former Vancouver [...]
The Seattle Mariners have been adding bats this offseason like they were going out of style. While many perceived that to mean that the team was happy with the projected rotation heading into 2013, it may have just meant the team was biding their time and looking for the right deal. With pitchers and catchers [...]
If ever the Indiana Pacers needed to win an NBA home game, it was Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons who had a reason to be distracted. Indiana had lost three straight on the road and returned home to face a Pistons team that found out Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye would not be in the [...]
The Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines tragicomedy as “a drama or a situation blending tragic and comic elements.” In my opinion, nothing could better describe the Manti Te’o hoax and the national freaking out that has gone along with it. This is both a comedy and a tragedy, and sadly it’s only been treated as a [...]
I don’t believe in moral victories in nearly any circumstance but there are some positives that fans of the Northwestern Wildcats can take forward despite the final score they saw Wednesday against the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor. Several times in the 2nd half the Wildcats were right there as Michigan refused to shut the [...]

The week leading up to Super Bowl XLVII has been quite exciting for members of the Baltimore Ravens considering all of the questions surrounding Ray Lewis being linked to PED. However, the argument can be made that Joe Flacco has found himself in a more difficult situation after making inappropriate comments about his feelings towards [...]
Last week, Philadelphia Union midfielder Brian Carroll was named the captain for the 2013 season. Last season, he was the captain for a few games while Carlos Valdes was playing for the Colombian National Team. Carroll is the right choice for captaincy.

There is always something that NASCAR fans must talk about. For the last 10-years or so, that something has been Dale Earnhardt Jr. Before him, it was Bill Elliott.

It was rumored that Richard Childress Racing wanted her. Heck, who wouldn’t want her. She’s a marketing machine and can drive a race car pretty darn well. However, Richard Childress Racing didn’t get what they wanted. Danica Patrick, the NASCAR Nationwide Series’ Most Popular Driver in 2012, will return to the series in a 10-race [...]
The Southern 500 at Darlington is one of the most prestigious events that NASCAR holds annually since it’s 1950 with the exception of a few seasons. But the race returned several years ago and remains a fan favorite. The winner of that race in 2011 became an instant fan favorite as well. It’s a story that [...]
