It’s that time of the year when teams are playing their final home games of the year. Whether the preps or collegiately, the occasion goes by the name of Senior Night. But might it also be […]

THE TOPEKA CAPITAL-JOURNAL is in full-on Erin Andrews overdrive, knowing the male gender’s favorite sideline reporter will be on hand for tonight’s showdown between Kansas and Kansas State. They top their preview story of the game with her excitement over seeing Michael Beasley:

“I’m ecstatic to see him,” Andrews said. “I’ve read so much about him […]

You may not have heard, but there’s this little movie called “Semi-Pro” that’s just hit theaters. It’s the inspiring ’70s tale of Jackie Moon - owner, player, and coach of the Flint Tropics - who oh so desperately wants to get his team into the NBA.

The GUARDIAN discusses the stance of John Boyle, the chairman of a Scottish Premier League team, who advocates allowing fans to be able to get drunk once again while watching games.
