From now on I want to be referred to as “Chuckstradamus”. In November of last year, I wrote a post explaining why Devin Hester should hold out of 2008’s training camp for more money. He’s already one of the best NFL return men in history if you look at his numbers, yet he’s only making a [...]

This will probably be the most press the WNBA gets for the next 12 months, which is sad because the discussion will have nothing to do with the actual game. The Starting Five seems to think Rick Mahorn’s decision to push Lisa Leslie to the ground will have harsh implications. The skirmish started moments after Candace [...]

NFL Cornerback Charles Woodson started up his own wine company recently, and scheduled a launch party in Ann Arbor, Michigan this weekend. All is well right?…. Not Quite. The NFL caught wind of this party and kindly notified Charles Woodson that Roger Goodell implemented a rule disallowing all players from promoting alcoholic beverages. The rule was [...]

Back in March of this year, I wrote a post asking why Justin Timberlake of all people would be hosting a sports awards show. Justin is typically annoying, but I’ll be damned if he didn’t crack me up a few times during the telecast (and I actually only saw HALF the show). There was a [...]

You’d think with the horrible reputation China has around the world concerning human rights violations and the situation with Tibet, they’d be on their best behavior during the Olympics. Well…. not quite. Bar owners in the epicenter of the Olympic nightlife have been asked to sign pledges vowing not to serve Black or Mongolian patrons, by uniformed [...]

With half of the year over and done with, let’s take a look at the best and worst stories in the world of sports from January through June. 10. Mario Chalmers’ miracle 3-pointer - Kansas was shooting horribly from the arc all night and found themselves down with only 10 seconds left in the game. Chalmers’ [...]

One thing I’ve always loved about the Olympics, is that even if you aren’t interested in a particular sport you can always check out the ladies as a last resort. Notable exceptions are sports like weightlifting, where the women look like Hulk Hogan, ugh. Anywho, I stumbled across this collection of Track & Field hotties and [...]

I never knew there was an Olympic sport for “race walking”, where people walk as fast as humanly possibly without breaking into an all out jog but it certainly exists. A Chinese race walker named Song Hongjuan has been suspended four years for failing a drug test. Yes, you heard correctly, people are taking performance [...]

There are few things in sports more entertaining than watching a baseball manager go apeshit because he doesn’t agree with a particular call. Minor league manager Kash Beauchamp is making headlines for waving his cleats, and armpits in the face of an umpire this week. This video is hilarious, but what I don’t understand is [...]
