The greatest two minutes in sports became the most unlikely two minutes after I’ll Have Another gunned down Bodemeister to win the Kentucky Derby. Unlikely, because it was the first Derby win for the horse’s owner, trainer, and obscure rookie jockey. The first win for a horse starting in the...Full take »

LeBron James busted out a new trick last night. He disappeared for the first three quarters against the Knicks…and showed up for the fourth. Talk about flipping the script! Maybe it was because Knick fan was in his head, hitting him with non-stop alpha-hotel chants throughout the game. Full take »

Does ACL stand for ‘A Crumpled Legend’? It was unbelievable to see Mariano Rivera laying in a heap on the warning track yesterday in Kansas City after tearing his ACL shagging fly balls. Full take »

Indiana reportedly is pulling the plug on its series with Kentucky after the Wildcats refused to go home and home with them, instead preferring to play on a neutral floor. Eeehhh! Wrong answer. Full take »

It’s the first Saturday in May, so it’s time for the most exciting two minutes in all of sports, the Kentucky Derby. Look, I’m the last one you all should be asking, but folks keep hitting me up for my pick so here it is…Union Rags. Full take »

Most were shocked when they heard Junior Seau had taken his own life. We were shocked because most of us would give our right arm to trade places with the man. But who’s to say that maybe he wouldn’t have traded places with many of us. Full take »

Roger Goodell knows the price these players pay to play the game, which is why he hammered the Saints again for their bounty program…and players league wide were furious. Full take »

Amare Stoudemire says there’s a great chance he’ll play in Game 4 of the Knicks-Heat series. Considering he just had surgery, and there were reports that his hand was “half hanging off” when he punched the glass, that would be as remarkable and courageous as the act was stupid. Full take »

Ravens coach John Harbaugh is having a week. First he lost his cred by waffling on his SpyGate take. And now he’s lost his blindside monster. Defensive Player of the Year Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles tendon and who knows if and when he’ll be back…and what type of player he’ll be when...Full take »

That’s one way to get people to stop asking Albert Pujols why he’s still stuck on zero bombs for the season; have your ace throw a no-no, which is exactly what Jered Weaver did last night. Since perfect games are the new no-hitter, and no-hitters are the new shutout, it was only a matter of...Full take »

Looks like it wasn’t too soon for the Nationals to bring Bryce Harper to the bigs. If anything, they may have waited too long. This cat is electric. He had three knocks last night, including a couple of bombs off the wall. And he also flossed his wheels, scoring all the way from second on a...Full take »

Los Angeles has three teams in the playoffs now, but I’m not sure any of them have the buzz the Dodgers do now that Magic Johnson is one of the owners. But during his press conference yesterday at the yard, he managed to disrespect the one man in this town who might be as beloved as he is. Full take »

Predictably, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was spinning after hanging a big fat asterisk on the Patriots dynasty, saying there was “some distortion” of what he said. Is that what we’re calling you putting an asterisk on their dynasty and dropping into an Ed Reed-like backpedal from it as...Full take »

The Angels won last night but Albert Pujols took another O-fer, and is still sitting on zero bombs and is now flirting with the Mendoza line. And now his hitting instructor Mickey Hatcher managed to get on the wrong side of him. Hatcher told the media that Pujols got in front of his teammates,...Full take »

Amare Stoudemire underwent minor surgery on his hand a day after swinging on that fire extinguisher in Miami. First of all, there’s no such thing as ‘minor’ surgery…especially on your hand if you’re a basketball player. And unfortunately for Stoudemire, he’ll be wearing this a lot...Full take »

Was that a playoff game or a funeral last night at the United Center? Talk about a buzz-kill. I liked the Bulls trying to honor Derrick Rose by including him in the introductions, I just hated to see the cat dragging his knee around the floor. The Bulls player intros haven’t looked that jacked...Full take »

This is going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts them, but just when you think it’s finally safe to go all in with the Atlanta Hawks. They remember they’re the Atlanta Hawks. You cannot lose that game if you’re the Hawks…can’t lose it. Not when you have an 11 point lead, at home, with...Full take »

And that’s why Kobe Bryant sat out the season finale, despite needing just 38 points to win the scoring title. So he could drop that same 38 when it really mattered, last night, in Game 2 of their series with Denver. KB-24, got off like he was KB-8. And if you squint hard enough you could see...Full take »

The Lakers have their swag back. The Clippers just went historic, and the Dodgers are in first in the NL West. That said, for the first time since #99 used to rock the joint, this town is all about the L.A. Kings. They just did St. Louis, in their house again, to take a 2-0 series lead. They...Full take »

File this under bad idea, worse execution. Tiger Woods thought he’d try to connect with his fans by taking their questions from Facebook and Twitter. I have a question. Actually, I have a few. Is this a video chat or a hostage video? Who thought this was a good idea. And did anyone actually...Full take »

Talk about a dude coming out of his shoes. Phenom Bryce Harper might want to shorten up his stroke a bit. Yes, that’s Harper, that’s the Washington Monument, that’s slow pitch soft ball, and that’s awesome. One of the biggest names in the game, going softball guy on the mall? That’s...Full take »

Albert Pujols insists he’s not gripping, telling FoxSports.com, quote: “I’m not pressing dude. It’s baseball. If we would be 15-3, then nobody would be talking about pressing. But when a team is struggling, everybody’s looking for excuses.” Whatever works for you, Al. Yeah, he’s...Full take »

Of course, no playoff series really starts until someone loses at home. Which is good, because I’m looking for the Mavs to take OKC in games 3 or 4. I don’t care who wins this series, just as long as it’s a long one. You look at Dallas and think there’s no way they can hang with a much...Full take »

Amare Stoudemire fought a fire extinguisher…and the fire extinguisher won. And now it looks like he could miss the rest of their series with the Heat. Look, you want to throw on a grease board, great. Or trade with a Gatorade jug, even better, but punching through a glass case makes you first...Full take »

It all seemed so Clipper-esque: they make it back to the postseason for the first time in six years, only to have Memphis go upside their heads with a 2 x 4. and fall behind by 28 on the road. The more things change, the more they stay exactly the same, and the Clips were on their way to a soul...Full take »

Derrick Rose. Done. And the second his ACL snapped, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau started taking fire for leaving Rose in the game, up 12 with 1:22 to play. But Thibodeau isn’t apologizing for it. He pointed out that the Sixers had cut the lead from 20 to 12, and that he was looking to finish the...Full take »

Bad luck is not to be confused with going brain-dead at the worst possible moment, like Celtic guard Rajon Rondo. Then again, maybe he didn’tintentionally bump referee Mark Davis. Check this air tight explanation for what happened late in yesterday’s loss to Atlanta: “As I was walking, I...Full take »

The Heat boat-raced the Knicks in Game 1 and while I’m not going to read too much into just one game, LeBron James showed up in a completely different way than he did last year at this time. With a different look, and a different tude. It wasn’t about facilitating and standing around and...Full take »

I’ll say it again: Andrew Bynum is always the biggest cat on the floor. And sometimes he decides to be the baddest. Like yesterday when he blocked 10 shots. Mostly vicious rejections from a guy who looked like he hated the ball. And as for which ones were the nastiest? It's a tie between all...Full take »

As the Clippers ready themselves for Memphis in the first round, everyone has a take on what Blake Griffin and the team should about their superstar getting beaten down physically. Kobe Bryant was asked about it and said, “I’d smack the bleep out of somebody.” And he also said he would...Full take »
