It is getting close to the time for some changes. At some point, the Boston Red Sox will have to look at the possibility of moving Felix Doubront to the bullpen and placing Allen Webster into the team’s rotation this month.

The Washington Huskies enjoyed a defensive turnaround in 2012 under first year defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox. The key to that turnaround was the arrival of freshman Shaq Thompson in the secondary who lived up to the hype during his recruitment. As Thompson comes back for his second season in Seattle, Wilcox is going to expand [...]
You would be able to label me a liar if I said I wasn’t a St. John’s Red Storm homer. Not only that, I have always been a fan of Steve Lavin at his other unrealistic expectations filled coaching gig and while with ESPN. I need to get that out of the way as this [...]
When Phil Jackson left as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, the common thought around the league was that Brian Shaw would be his successor.

Since it’s very early on in the 2013 baseball campaign, many of the bigger name players haven’t been starting off so hot.

Burak Yilmaz has scored 20 times in the Turkish Super League and a total of eight times in the UEFA Champions League.

The Aaron’s 312 was probably one of the most eventful races in NASCAR Nationwide Series history.

Drafting at 200 mph is insane. Doing it for 312 miles while leaning on someone’s bumper directly in front of you? Yeah, it’s pretty wild in and of itself.
