I’ve followed the Bow Wow vs. Game challenge since its inception three weeks ago. According to EASports.com, The Game is the #6 ranked Madden player in the world and Bow Wow issued a $100,000 challenge. After several back and forth YouTube videos with heavy trash talking, the two finally squared off tonight in Los Angeles. [...]

In October of last year, Major League Baseball tried to claim copyright over the “facts and statistics” of their sport, which would require web sites to pay licensing fees to provide fantasy baseball to fans. The courts of our great country promptly told MLB to kick rocks, and justice was upheld. That ruling prompted CBS Sports [...]

Brandon Jacobs is almost too big and powerful to be allowed to play running back, my heart goes out to every safety and cornerback who stand between this wild bull and the endzone. Last night LaRon Landry got absolutely DEMOLISHED after trying to tackle Brandon Jacobs up high. I’ve watched this .gif in amazement for at [...]

It’s been 365 days since Sportaphile launched with a whopping total of 7 visitors (the majority of them knew me personally). Since then we’ve had hundreds of thousands of visitors, and we’re aiming to reach 1 million unique visitors in the next year…. Let’s make it happen. Here are just a few of my favorite posts [...]

It’s no secret that the MLB owners got together and delivered their own brand of vigilante justice on Barry Bonds, effectively forcing him into retirement.

In September of 2007, I took on the task of attempting to draw statistical comparisons between crappy NFL teams and the level of crime in their respective cities. While my prediction that the Detroit Lions would have the worst record was incorrect, my dark horse choice of Miami was dead on the money. Therefore, it’s necessary [...]

I hate to say I told you so, but……. I TOLD YOU. Back in March, I wrote a post asking if Floyd Mayweather was putting himself in danger due to his flashy behavior. It went a little something like this……. We’ve all seen him making it rain at WWE press conferences. We’ve all see him carrying around [...]

I was watching ESPN’s First Take yesterday morning (guilty pleasure) when Jemele Hill mentioned a report that stated 93% of fantasy football players were white, and that blacks accounted for just 1.6% of the fun. Coming from a black guy who’s been playing for seven years now, and a black guy who knows tons of other [...]

One of the dominant stories in the news today is the unfortunate shooting involving Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Richard Collier. Collier is in “serious but stable” condition after emergency surgery and theres been a good amount of concern for his well being from what I’ve observed. However, I’ve observed something else that’s quite disturbing and [...]
