The Lakers have had an unbelievably disappointing season, but they have finally been playing like the team everybody was expecting before the season started. With Dwight dominating the paint and Kobe closing out every close game, the Lakers have gone 9-2 in their last 11 games. That run has finally...

This year's free agent market fails to live up to last year's in terms of star power, but after a season with so much parity, it'll be interesting to see what changes happen. Many teams (Baltimore, Toronto, Pittsburgh) will be looking to get to the next stage and this offseason...

More than halfway through the season, we have a pretty good idea of who the powerhouses are. The road to New Orleans is looming upon us and we'll see what teams are on the fast track.

1. Houston Texans: They are an absurdly complete team. Defensively, they are anchored...

The Jets have got to do something about the Tebow situation. They seem complacent about leaving him on the bench for the most part, and if he was only brought on to motivate Mark Sanchez, it's been a train wreck. Only Andrew Luck and Brandon Weeden have a worse QB...

In a year with two of the most interesting MVP debates in years, the Cy Young race doesn't disappoint. In the NL, it's a mess with R.A Dickey, Johnny Cueto, Gio Gonzalez, Matt Cain, and even the relievers Aroldis Chapman and Craig Kimbrel all vying for the coveted award. In...

It'd be safe to say that no one saw this kind of MVP race coming for the 2012 season. In the American League, a player who smashed rookie records despite missing the first 20 games of the season was a lock for the MVP, before someone threatened to become the...

They say that in sports, it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, but whether or not you get back up. These guys definitely got knocked down in 2011 but 2012 should prove to pick them back up.

DeSean Jackson: I really want to believe in this guy....

What appears to have been the last American Dream Team sure gave us a lot of entertainment. They appropriately destroyed Tunisia and Nigeria, and came up when it mattered against Spain, Argentina, and Lithuania. But now that it's all over it's time to wrap up and see what we learned.

Two first-round picks and two second-round picks for a 38-year-old who beat out your star for two MVP's he's still bitter about? Welcome to Hollywood.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about having the Lakers' first true point guard since I was born, but it doesn't all check out. Mike...

It's an exciting time in baseball. The Nationals are in first place in their division, the Dodgers have the third best record in baseball, the Orioles are second in their division behind the Yankees, and the Pirates are four games over .500. The Nationals have lived up to all the...

As the NBA Finals loom ahead of us, it seems like a fine time to look back on this year's franchise players. The term "franchise player" has become muddled, but these are the NBA players who I want on my team at each position.

PG: Chris Paul. This couldn't be...

I love the Red Sox -- I just don't like the way they're playing. My first baseball experience was rooting for them in the 2004 ALCS, which was quite a time to start. As a fan, I feel that the Sox don't need to go into a complete rebuilding mode,...

His team may be out of the NBA playoffs, but the fact remains that Dirk Nowitzki -- power forward for the Dallas Mavericks -- is one of the most talented and overpowering players of this generation. Yet his complete unselfishness and overall niceness has gotten in the way of him...
