9 Oldest Soccer Clubs in the World
Football, soccer, calcio, fútbol, Fußball—whatever you want to call it, “The Beautiful Game” has a long and rich history. What’s interesting, however, is that this history is not very well known, given that we’re talking about the world’s most popular sport.

While in Maryland for a free football camp on Monday, Arizona Cardinals’ defensive end Darnell Dockett was stopped by police for speeding in his Cadillac Escalade.

Bill Simmons coined the term “Manning Face” to describe the expression one often finds on the face of Peyton or Eli Manning following a frustrating or disgusting play, such as an interception.

5 Reasons to Kill the BCS
The reasons to drop the BCS system have been bandied about since the program was instituted. I’ve never heard a compelling argument in favor of the current system. In fact, I’ve never heard anyone except athletic administrators and BCS “officials” (whatever the hell they do) even try to validate the system. And their reasons stem […]
