On July 13, 2007, French long jumper Salim Sdiri was warming up near the infield at a meet in Rome when Finnish javelin thrower Tero Pitkamaki let one fly.

The folks on ESPNEWS (and other places as well, I'm sure, but that's what I was watching at the time) were breathless a little earlier this evening.

West Hollywood’s favorite horsey face new darling just might not be so gay-friendly.

So I’m just […]

In 2002, I did a stint on Fox Sports Radio’s very popular afternoon drive sports talk show, “Kiley & Booms.” The duo of Kevin Kiley and Chuck Booms were split up before the end of the year and the show was canceled. Both men made random tours around the dial over the last five years, […]

One thing that distinguishes the National Hockey League from the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball is the fact that they play the game on ice. This means that the players' skates are going to come into play occasionally in such a physical sport, and not just in the case of New York Islander imbecile […]

St. Bonaventure swimmer Scott Jordan wrote a terrific first-person account of coming out to his team. Scott’s story touched a nerve and he has received loads of responses.

Saturday is Hockey Day in Canada, the CBC’s annual daylong celebration of the sport, with special features and live broadcasts from towns across Canada, as well as a tripleheader of NHL games featuring the six Canadian teams.

Ron Hextall is being inducted into the Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame before tonight's game.
