Jeff Francoeur Has Epic Prank Pulled On Him By Teammates

April 14, 2014 By Nick A.

Look at that smile. Is that the smile of an idiot? Maybe, maybe not. But it just might be the smile of one of the most gullible players that has been exposed in quite some time. Jeff Francoeur is a nine year MLB veteran, who was trying to make it into his 10th year in […]

Johnny Manziel Is Now “Johnny Wonderlic”? Get Outta Here

April 10, 2014 By Nick A.

Athletic. Dynamic. Playmaker. Cocky. Those are just a few of the many words that describe the former Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Manziel. Sure, to play quarterback, you have to have a certain amount of intelligence, but “top Wonderlic scorer” was a phrase that I never would have thought to be associated with Manziel. According to […]

What’s With These NBA “Nickname” Jerseys?

April 8, 2014 By Nick A.

I found myself a bit confused when I was watching the Miami Heat/Brooklyn Nets game tonight. I was confused because either I had a really bad case of food poisoning tonight and the names on the players’ jerseys were changing on their own, or the NBA had changed the names of the players for some […]

Derek Jeter Moves Into 8th Place On All-Time Hit List

April 6, 2014 By Nick A.

The Derek Jeter farewell tour has picked up its first milestone the season. Jeter drove a single into right field today to move ahead of Paul Molitor on the all-time hit list with his 3,320th hit.

Adreian Payne Brings Bowling To Dunking

April 4, 2014 By Nick A.

This dunk by Michigan State’s Adreian Payne had a little bit of everything. It let a kid get involved. It had lots of hype and air. There was a 360. And bowling. Although Payne lost the overall contest to Marcus Lewis of Eastern Kentucky, he definitely took home the prize for most creativity, showmanship and […]

Guess How Much Eric Decker Paid For His Jersey Number

April 1, 2014 By Nick A.

Brad Penner/USA TODAY Sports

Come on. Just take a wild guess. Okay, good. You’re wrong. It’s amazing what a player will do to get their original jersey number if they switch teams. Some players will give up the number without a fuss, others will ask you to donate money to a charity or buy them lunch. Not Jeff Cumberland. […]
