This Funny ESPN Commercial Makes Bowlers Look Like Ballers (Video)
Bowling isn’t exactly a “cool” sport. The paychecks are moderate, the uniforms are bland, the game itself is not all that fun to watch on television, and I don’t think any pro bowler in the history of the sport has dated a supermodel. Nevertheless, ESPN has the broadcasting rights for the PBA—that’s the Professional Bowlers [...]

PBA Bowler Josh Blanchard Take An Embarrassing Spill (Video)
Bowling doesn’t seem like a very dangerous sport, but sometimes all it takes is the slightest step over the foul line for disaster to strike. Professional Bowling Association rookie Josh Blanchard learned that the hard way during a recent World Championship qualifier in Las Vegas. Things were already looking bad for Blanchard, as he was [...]

9 Obscure College Sports
In the world of college sports, football and basketball get most of the glory. Then, when those seasons are over, you might hear about the College World Series (if you’re from Nebraska) or the Frozen Four (if you’re from North Dakota or Massachusetts). But that’s about it. You hardly ever hear about college bowling or [...]

Picture Of The Day: Defense In Bowling?
They say that in sports, defense wins championships. And while that may be true in hockey, football, basketball and a few other sports, I am still trying to figure out how such a statement applies to bowling. The logical answer would be that is actually doesn’t apply to the sport of bowling at all, but [...]

9 Bikini Sports (Besides Beach Volleyball)
Beach volleyball is always one of the most popular sports at the Summer Olympics, and the reason is obvious: dudes love hot women in bikinis. The geniuses who run the Lingerie Football League get it. And now there’s also an attempt to bring sexy back to basketball in the form of a Bikini Basketball League—recently [...]

9 Obscure Sports Museums
In the past seven weeks, the sporting press has spilled a lot of ink (both real ink and, in the case of sports websites like this one, virtual ink) covering the 2011 inductions to both the baseball and football halls of fame. It makes sense, of course, since these are some of the most popular [...]

Picture Of The Day: When Bowling Meets Pool
As far as hybrid sports go, I’m not so sure this one would work out all that well. Aside from that fact that all the bird droppings and rain falls can’t be good for the felt on the table, I just don’t see how a game of pool-bowling can work out after the opening break. [...]

Picture Of The Day: An Analysis Of Balls In Sports
So let me get this straight. Whoever created this chart, which analyzes balls in sports, is trying to tell me that basketball players and bowlers have bigger balls than football players? Bowlers? Seriously? And where does the soccer ball fit into this entire equation? Even their ball is bigger than a football. I’m not sure [...]

Clemson And Davidson Provide Us With Some More Rain Delay Theatrics (Video)
I almost feel as though the action during a college baseball rain delay is more entertaining than the game itself. And that is not to put down the quality of the game, or the players playing it. Instead, that is simply a testament to the brilliant acting skills and creative minds of these young men. [...]

9 Best Sports/Games to Play While Drinking
The criteria for a good drinking game are pretty intuitive. Games should be turn-based, require little to no exertion, and require little to no attention while waiting for your turn. Bonus points if the game requires little to no specific equipment or location. By those accounts, tennis is a really crappy game to play while [...]

9 Most Boring Sports to Watch on TV
Sometimes, the “next best thing to being there” can be pretty damn boring. Many sports hinge on atmosphere or a sense of intimacy that the camera just can’t capture. And sometimes, boring sports are just made more boring by not being there. The good news is, if you’re watching a boring sport on TV, you [...]

Josh Scanlan Accidentally Bowls The Greatest Strike Ever (Video)
Most people couldn’t successfully make a shot like this if they tried. Fortunately for Josh Scanlan, he wasn’t trying when he accidentally sent the ball soaring into the air, and the end result would be one of the craziest strikes in bowling history. After watching his ball go airborne, Josh refused to watch the ensuing [...]

Picture Of The Day: The Real Dream Team?
Forget about Jordan, Bird, Magic, Ewing, Malone, Stockton, and the rest of the so-called “Dream Team” from the 1992 Summer Olympics. They’ve got nothing on these five physical specimens. You think those mullets were part of some bowling team ritual or superstition, much like a hockey player’s playoff beard, or Patrick Kane’s playoff mullet? I [...]

Best Bowling Trick-Shot Ever?
I always thought that Dave Chappelle was on to something special after seeing him perform his version of And1 bowling on an episode of his show. Little did I know that such events actually exist, and the tricks are quite impressive, to say the least. Most impressive of all was this guy, who needed only [...]

Has Bowling Ever Looked So Sexy?
Whether it is the good old fashioned 10-pin style, or the more recent Nintendo Wii version, I have always been a fan of bowling. However, after seeing the incredibly curvy Lauren Young toss a couple of balls down the lane, I may never look at this sport in the same way. And how can I? [...]
