Apparently Peyton Manning can only be a sports gentlemen when he’s winning and being adored. When he throws an interception that loses a championship game, he stomps off the field like a three-year old at daycare.

That’s what he did after the Super Bowl on Sunday. He threw an interception. His team lost, and instead of staying until the end of the game and shaking hands to congratulate the winners, he ran to the locker room and didn’t talk to anyone. In a news conference after the game, he still had a hard time congratulating …read more

Texas had high hopes when they went into the National Championship Game on January 7. Ultimately, Alabama’s team overcame the Longhorns, and they lost 37-21. Of course the loss was upsetting for the school, but it was also a financial blow. See, they had already had $300,000 worth of clothing printed to celebrate their win.
It’s something that most sports teams going into big games do. Texas paid for around 13,000 shirts and 1,000 caps that could be sold for $20 and $22 respectively as soon as the game ended. Instead of that merchandise going to waste, university spokesperson Casey Ellis …read more

Now that the pro football season has  come to end (shout out to the Saints — Who Dat!), we can concentrate fully on basketball without any needless distractions.
There is so much parody in college basketball this season. Every time a new team reaches the number 1 spot in the polls, they get beat. The movement between the top 25 teams has been so fluid that you can’t really figure out who’s got a leg up on who?
That’s why when Kansas took over at number 1, I thought, “this is only going to last so long.” But the Jayhawks proved Monday …read more

It seems like Florida State is finally giving up their wins from the 2006 and 2007 football seasons. Last month, the NCAA rejected their appeal, which stated that the school should the football wins, even though some of the students on the team were involved in a massive cheating scandal involving an online music class.
The school is giving up 5 wines from 2006, including their win in the Emerald Bowl, along with 7 wins from the following year. The school fought so hard for the wins in part because former head coach Bobby Bowden retired at this year of this …read more

You might want to stop by one of the oldest icons of racing history in America, Daytona International Speedway, to check out the trucks that will be racing that day.

No, he didn’t say he was going to retire (and unretire, and retire…), instead he threw a key interception in the last moments of a championship game. Unlike Brett Favre, though, Manning had not kept the score close enough to even attempt a comeback.

The Saints played their hearts out, and they deserved to win. I’ve never seen a team make such a gutsy move as that second half onside kick. No team has ever done an onside kick in the Super Bowl except in the fourth quarter. The Saints made history by doing that, and it …read more

The first race of the Camping World Truck Series will be held on the iconic track of Daytona International Speedway, a venue that has seen more than its share of races. Fans should contact their travel agents and purchase their ticket for the race, before their all gone and they’re left out in …read more

After losing to the Orlando Magic on Sunday, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers voiced his opinion on the matter.
“I love our team on paper, but we tend to be front-runners,” he said on ESPN’s Daily Dime. When we get a good lead we relax and teams take advantage of it and then you’re caught and it’s tough to turn it back on.”
The Celtics let the Magic go on a 19-point run in the third quarter. Playing with four fouls, Dwight Howard stayed in the game and served as the catalyst for the run.
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy believed that leaving …read more

Playing scared usually isn’t the way to win a golf tournament. However, when you are nursing a six-shot lead, you can afford to play not to make mistakes. That is exactly what Steve Stricker in the final round of the Northern Trust Open as he won by two strokes over Luke Donald.
Said Stricker: “I just knew it was going to be hard. You’re playing a different game than what you normally play. You played scared. At least I did there for a while.”
After a 67 on the first day, a 65 on day two and a 66 on the third …read more

Fans of the New Orleans Saints who have witnessed what they’ve witnessed over the years never thought they’d see this day. But they have arrived. The New Orleans Saints are Super Bowl champions. The laughing stock of the NFL for decades is now at the top of the football playing world.
Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees dominated on his way to 288 passing yards and two touchdowns passes. He connected an astonishing 32-of-38 passes and didn’t turn the ball over. With his team down by a point with under six minutes remaining, Brees hit Jeremy Shockey to give the Saints a …read more
