A few days ago, I thought that nothing could in the Celtics vs. Bulls series could top Boston’s wild OT victory over Chicago in Game 5, featuring Paul Pierce playing out of his mind to carry Boston to the win, Kirk Hinrich getting tripped by Rajon Rondo and smashing his face on the floor, or [...]

For many years some of the top high school football talent in Texas — a state ripe with football players — have ventured north to South Bend, Indiana, to play football at Notre Dame. Well, now it seems that the state of Texas would like to take something back from South Bend for itself. Specifically, [...]

(MOMMM! We found him!) Calvin Watkins of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS reports this morning that, “Suspended Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones will begin alcohol treatment today at an undisclosed location in the Dallas area, according to a source.“

Some football dances stand the test of time: The Ickey Shuffle. Deion Sanders‘ high steps. Some don’t.

• Ray Allen’s daughter has been diagnosed with diabetes.
• Rashard Mendenhall is on the warpath with his former Illinois team.

Kim Kardashian dates a football player. (Nominally, anyway. That’s a lot of fumbles for 3.7 yards per rush, Reggie.) Deion Sanders used to be a football player. (And a baseball player. And didn’t he bobsled or something? Ice was somehow involved.)

The San Diego Union Tribune reports today that “LaDainian Tomlinson had an additional MRI on his left knee Tuesday that revealed his playing even just four snaps in the AFC Championship Game further damaged it.”
