Brawl Erupts Between Dodgers and Diamondbacks After Three Beaned Batters (Videos)
Major League baseball is going to do a lot of suspending and finger-wagging as a result of the melee that broke out between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks in L.A. last night.

Heading into last night’s MLB action, Seattle Mariners pitcher Aaron Harang had only pitched past the sixth inning once in nine starts this season.

Here’s 9 Minutes Of Bill Belichick Dodging Questions about Tim Tebow at Today’s Press Conference (Video)
Unlike ESPN, Bill Belichick would rather not talk about Tim Tebow. That was quite evident during his press conference earlier today, as Belichick dipped, ducked and dived around every Tim Tebow question that reporters could throw at him over the course of nine minutes. Belichick must have been prepared for the heavy barrage of Tebow [...]

Fan Leaps Into Bushes at Petco Park While Chasing Home Run Ball (Video)
How far would you go to get your hands on a home run ball at a Major League Baseball game? Would you waste a full bucket of popcorn or dive backwards over a row of seats to catch one? Or, how about this: would you steamroll your child if he got in between you and [...]

“Dr. J” Julius Erving Can Still Dunk at 63-Year-Old (Video)
Back when he was in his twenties and thirties, Julius Irving made a living in the ABA and NBA by utilizing the slam dunk on a regular basis.

On Friday, the Cleveland Indians’ All-Star closer, Chris Perez, was arrested and charged along with his wife for misdemeanor drug possession.

Amateur Polish Soccer Players Celebrate By Diving Into Puddles (Video)
We cover creative soccer goal celebrations a lot here at TotalProSports. But whether they involve elaborate choreography, kung fu kicks, the removal of pants, or even ass-wiping, they’re almost always from professional leagues. And if there is a rare exception, it usually involved a really cute kid. We hardly ever see remarkable goal celebrations from [...]

Pacman Jones Punches Woman Outside Bar, Claims Self-Defense (Video)
Cincinnati Bengels cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones is always getting into trouble. However, most of the time that trouble involves a strip club, some bouncers, his entourage, and guns. The incident he got into last week is pretty tame by comparison. There’s no strip club, no guns, and his entourage seems to consist of just one [...]

Heading into last night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Adam Dunn had only 34 hits in 206 at bats on the season (good enough for a .165 batting average), but of those 34 hits, 14 of them were home runs. That means that while Dunn wasn’t hitting the ball all that often, he was [...]

Making millions of dollars and having millions of fans pack stadiums and cheer for you are just a few of the things that come with being a star in the NBA.
