By Cyd Zeigler | July 12, 2012Hallelujah! Despite the chorus of naysayers who in recent years have said a college football player could “never” happen, the powers-that-be have finally come to their senses and created a system for the 2014 season that will result in a four-team semifinal for the national title. I've personally only ever wanted a four-team playoff. While […]

Sunday it was 21-17 on a […]

By Jim Buzinski | January 30, 2012We at Outsports certainly appreciate Baltimore linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo’s NFL-leading advocacy for gay rights. Unfortunately, a Tweet from early this morning has also proven him to be a sore loser. Hours after his team blew a game to what Ayanbadejo deems an inferior team, he held a little pity party on Twitter: We at Outsports […]

Before you roll your eyes and dismiss this as another anti-Tebow snark piece, it isn’t. In fact, it’s honestly made me rethink everything I’ve said about him. There is no denying that Tim Tebow is one of the top sports stories of the year, in part because of the Broncos’ turnaround, in part because of […]

By Jim Buzinski | January 11, 2012I had a friend in town last weekend, so for the first time ever I did not watch any playoff games live. Hence, there was no recap. Outside of the Broncos-Steelers thriller, though, I didn’t miss a whole lot in terms of excitement. The Giants’ 24-2 win over the Falcons sounded like one of the […]

By Jim Buzinski | January 10, 2012One reason to watch — Bama kicker Cade Foster The college football season reaches its anti-climatic climax Monday night when LSU plays Alabama in the BCS title game.
