Helio Castroneves winning the Indianapolis 500 is an intriguing story to be sure, but as far as I know he’s never posed on the beach for Sports Illustrated, as today’s third-place finisher has. So here you go, racing fans. Vroom.

Danica Patrick turned in the best finish in the history of the race by someone wearing […]

The NFL joined other sports leagues earlier this month in protesting sports gambling in the state of Delaware.  The NFL in particular alerted the Delaware Supreme Court that skills plays “an impermissible” role in the art of sports gambling and therefore should not be legal.

If you’re Cal Ripken Jr., motivational speaker, you don’t just hop from your limo right onto the stage and start blabbing about your 2,632 consecutive game playing streak. Like the great thinkers of our age, you need time to organize your thoughts.

The Dolphins DE was stuck in traffic in Miami Beach around […]

So it turns out that the tryout process to become a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader includes a rigorous written exam, including such questions as: “Name one country that borders Iraq.” Well, I guess Miss Teen South Carolina is out.

If only the Cowboys themselves had such rigorous standards. You may have thought that passing the bar exam […]

Ricky Rubio and his agent, Dan Fegan, have started applying the pressure on NBA teams to ensure he ends up in the best possible media market. Because he still has to spend his own cash to get out of his Spanish contract, he has the leverage to return to Europe if the “wrong” team drafts […]

We’ve already covered how the Dallas Cowboys were warned that their practice dome was possibly unsafe, having been built by the same company in the same manner as a Pennsylvania structure that collapsed in a similar manner.
