9 Biggest NFL Draft Busts
Every year, around draft time (right now), names get bandied about as precautionary tales of how not to utilize your draft picks.

9 Ridiculous Sports-Related Urban Legends
Don’t tell me if they’re not true. They’re true as long as we choose to believe them. And I choose to believe these because they’re hilarious. Don’t tell me otherwise, and certainly don’t let a stupid inconvenience like truth get in the way of a good story. As a “journalist,” I can say with absolute [...]

9 Best NBA Arenas to Watch a Playoff Game
This is/was a more difficult to assemble than those for baseball, football or even hockey. Though crowd plays a big role in the performance of a home team, NBA action is largely bird’s-eye. So on TV, the casual observer, or even the astute one, won’t really distinguish one from the other. Even fan noise is [...]

10 Hottest WAGs of the NHL
Women don’t always go for the bad boys. Don’t get me wrong, hockey players are tough as nails, but they simply don’t in the same sandbox as basketball and football players when it comes to bad behavior.

9 Team Owners Who Look Like the Crypt Keeper
Ghouls and professional sports franchise owners have a lot in common. Both are usually evil, despised, feared, and stuck somewhere between this world and the next. As such, we thought we’d compare some well known sports owners to one of the most well known ghouls of all: the Crypt Keeper from HBO’s “Tales From the [...]

9 Gayest-Sounding NBA Team Names
There’s only 32 teams in the NBA, and practically a third of them conjure up some sort of homoerotic undertones or phallic imagery. Why is that? With other sports, it’s still uncannily high (like 20%), but the NBA really seems to go the extra mile. I’m not going to speculate as to why. That’s for [...]

11 Athletes We’d Like to Punch in the Face
This list could be a thousand entries long. Of course, everyone has their own athletes they want to punch.

Some athletes, seemingly universally, just rub everyone the wrong [...]

9 Greatest Modern Jock Jams
Everyone and their dog has gone over “We Will Rock You,” “Eye of the Tiger,” and the like for most of their adult lives. Thanks to “The Sopranos,” you can dump Journey into that pile of dinosaur rock as well. But what of the newer guard of arena rock? While years of psychotherapy can’t get [...]

9 Memorable Masters Moments (Videos)
“A tradition unlike any other.” Kind of arrogant, but true. While golf is steeped in tradition from Pebble Beach to St. St. Andrews, no course or tournament pays tribute to the past with the jackets, the unchanging concession prices, and other controversial traditions. Well, it’s not all just a bunch of smoke. This is the [...]

The 9 Greatest (Dumbest) Sports Toys
Sports toys. It’s a weird phrase. Sports are competitive, and, by definition, toys are not. So where does one draw the line? It’s a tricky question, and one that retailers have not been able to draw. In hindsight, they all seem pretty silly. I rag on pretty much every toy on this list, as a [...]

9 Goofiest Sports Posters Of The 80′s and 90′s
Simpler Times. That’s the only thing I can really say in a half-assed attempt to explain why such rich, famous athletes would get duded up like schmucks to personify puns made of their names. *Deep breath* I don’t know why I feel compelled to explain their actions. The posters are hilarious, as it’s always a [...]
