Some of these may be bolder than others, but I present my 10 “crackhead” bold predictions for the […]

Sports Illustrated is featuring reviews by Carson Kressley of the outfits on the men and women at the U.S. Open. He had good things to say about some, but he others left him scratching his head.

Floyd Mayweather has been hit in the head too many times. The latest result was a racist and homophobic rant mostly about fellow boxer Manny Pacquiao. And some of it was caught on tape.

It’s not known whether the Jaguar agreement involved any financial payment, but Rice will be without a […]

If the University of Florida is the fourth-best college football team in the country, then it will be an incredibly weak year in college football. Florida beat Miami of Ohio, 34-12, but that score is highly misleading. It was 20-12 in the fourth until the Gators scored on a 72-yard run and a lucky throw-it-up-in-the-end-zone-and-pray […]

One more reason rugby player Ben Cohen is one of the coolest athletes in the world: He donated a signed jockstrap for use in a fund-raiser for GMFA, a British gay men’s health charity.
