Ripping Washington D.C. of its famous “Redskins” nickname is like taking the Cowboys out of Dallas and then renaming them the Dallas Sheriffs.

Unfortunately, the radical groups [...]

I seriously hope that England has far more options to pick from later this year when the crucial World Cup qualifiers arrive, because from tonight’s performance, there was little to be hopeful about.

In this year’s NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Coltsended up with the very first overall pick, which obviously became quarterback Andrew Luck.

Things are a lot different in the NFL since the adaption of the new rookie wage scale, which was implemented as a part of last year’s Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL owners and the players.

An often-injured, often-insulted, and often-embarrassed area of the Indianapolis defense, that is about as light as can be right now, as the Colts get closer and closer to the 2012 training camp. Although the Colts of the past have not dug to deep into free agency, [...]
