There’s a lot of ugliness in college sports, and the really dirty reality — the one which cuts through every fan base and is the hardest one to face in a mirror — is that no program is immune to appalling behavior or poor decision-making…...

The center is the 5, the power forward the 4, the small forward the 3, the shooting guard the 2, the point guard the 1. The sixth man can be any of those five positions, but the defining number for this position remains “6.” Yet, we’re going to...

It almost seems like an eternity ago that the Quebec Nordiques were in the NHL. The club lasted from 1979-1995 before financial struggles forced the team to move to Colorado, only to watch their former players win the Stanley Cup in their first season. While that...

The San Francisco 49ers were forced to make a very difficult decision after this morning’s news that linebacker Aldon Smith had been arrested on three charges. Those charges were DUI, hit and run and vandalism. It didn’t take them too terribly long to...
