Baylor's Defense Has the Potential to be an Opponent's Nightmare
ORLANDO-- It's been no secret that Baylor basketball has had its issues on the defensive end of the floor during Scott Drew's tenure. Those struggles could be on their way out as Drew has a roster that looks radically different. A much improved Josh Lomers anchors the paint at a towering seven feet. His wingman are equally impressive as small forward Anthony Jones isn't so small. The sophomores is a skinny, but absurdly long 6'10''. Ekpe Udoh plays the four and five as another wirey 6'10'' big man. That front line makes for a perfect fit for the 2-3 zone defense. "We've been a m

Tiger Woods' Wife, Elin Nordegren: Crazy Hot Or Just Plain Crazy?
With all of the rumors circulating around Tiger Woods right now, his wife, Elin Nordegren, is firmly in the spotlight as well. Normally, this would be cause to celebrate because the more we see of her the better off the world is. However, news has been filtering in that Elin may not be the perfect trophy wife that we all thought she was. Is she crazy hot, or is she just plain crazy? You make the call... Begin Slideshow

Dallas Cowboys are Good, But Something is Missing
...And that something is a someone . His name is Terrell Owens. This is where the die-hard, rah-rah traditionalists say, "What are you talking about? The guy is a selfish player, all about himself, and the Cowboys are in first place without him." Yes, Dallas is 8-3 and atop the NFC East, but anyone—Cowboys fan or not—that believes that Owens' departure is the explanation for their success, is either lying to themselves or doesn't follow Dallas very closely.  While WR2 Miles Austin has enjoyed a refreshing breakout season, WR1 Roy Williams (who was supposed to "replace" Owens) has been a dud, and one of the favorite whipping boys for an

Why Tiger Woods Owes No One an Explanation
The events that transpired in a rather expensive and tony neighborhood near Orlando has left us with one unavoidable question and one irrefutable answer. Question: Why should anyone care to know the “real reason” behind Tiger Woods lost battle with a fire hydrant and nearby tree? Answer: Because those (hopefully) few clogging the blogosphere and screaming for Tiger to allow digging around in his personal closet are exceptionally pathetic people taking up valuable land space, and who have little or no real life at all. Take for instance the local news anchor, almost giddy following up a taped story about the incident. The standard prop was brought out and used to

U.S.A. Soccer's Ben Olsen Will Be Remembered For What He Symbolized
Ben Olsen announced his retirement earlier this week. He retires with a number of accolades: having played the most continuous games for his MLS club, DC United (I'm not quite sure how to rank that accolade), 1998 MLS Rookie of the Year, second in games played and started for United, third in assists, seventh in goals, and winning Comeback Player of the Year, this year, the year he decided to retire. Many of his fans and admirers responded with anecdotes from his career, most notably his hat trick against the New York Red Bulls in 2007. Of course, I have my own as well. But as soon as I read Olsen's comments as he retired, in particular his comment that "It spooked me a lit
