Hockey is a quick game -- almost to a fault. One flick of the wrist and blink of an eye can mean the difference between a game winning goal, killed penalty or lost tooth. The chaos can be hard to follow -- as can the puck, a common critique of...

On Tuesday night, President Obama appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and was funny, poised and witty... and that certainly pissed Republicans off.

Mind you, if the Republican base asked Obama to jump, and he responded "How high?" they would accuse him of being an indecisive leader unfit...

Saturday night will mark one of the biggest sporting events of the year as four of the top college basketball programs in the country will square off in the aptly named Final Four. Whether you like it or not, there's a very good chance you will find yourself standing in...

So you've just received an email inviting you to participate in your office/school/local armory March Madness pool and you're reluctant to participate in it because you don't know anything about sports? Fear not, friend. I've been keeping close track of college basketball since I was barely able to walk, and...

I've always been very interested and involved in sports throughout my life, but as I've grown older I've begun hanging out with more and more people who don't necessarily adopt the same self-destructive lifestyle. In this spirit, I've decided to introduce them to the various tenets of sports fandom in...

I had one of those moments the other day.

You know, one of those times when you're so outraged about something you read that you just have to... tweet?

OK, so maybe it's somewhat unique to Generation Y (although both my baby boomer parents involved in the Twittersphere may suggest...

Oh, you know, this is just your run of the mill full-court bounce pass that results in a buzzer beating alley-oop dunk. Yup, sorry to bore you with yet another one of these plays.

Vinita High School out of Vinita, Okla. pulled off what very well may...

If Antwan Burrus of Liberty University doesn't shoot another three pointer this season, he'll have bragging right over the NCAA's top long-distance marksmen.

The reason for this? Burrus has attempted just one three-point shot this season, which he made. And it was a big one.

With his...

Nearly 5,000 people (4,979 to be exact) gathered at the University of Alberta to set the record for the world's largest dodgeball game.

The game represents the third record set in Alberta in as many years. But, apparently, the competition to retain the crown is fierce when it...

We may be reaching the end of an era as TMZ is reporting that Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is planning to change his last name once again.

Per the report, Ochocinco wants to change his name back to 'Johnson' so that his fiancee Evelyn Lozada won't have...

This week's edition best athlete tweets mostly gives a nod to the most important sporting event of the year, but also has a few other interesting nuggets mixed in. Perhaps the most fascinating individual twitter revelation this week was made by someone not connected to football at all....

When a former baseball player comes forward and claims he used illegal drugs during his playing days, the first thing people naturally assume is that he's referring to steroids or some other performance enhancers. But Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd referred to something slightly different during a recent interview.

On...

Whether you want to call it LinCredible, LinGenious or simply LinSane, the emergence of Jeremy Lin over the past three games for the New York Knicks has lit a fire underneath this NBA season in a very unique way.

If you haven't heard about Jeremy Lin yet, just turn...

Jeremy Lin has arrived. No, we're not referring to the serious talks about him permanently earning the starting spot at point guard for the Knicks. Given the choices available to Mike D'Antoni on Seventh Avenue, it's practically Lin's job lose. Instead, the biggest sign that the second-year player...

If you have what some are calling the greatest dunk of all-time performed at your expense then, naturally, you're going to hear about it for a while. So it's of little surprise that more than a week after Blake Griffin made Kendrick Perkins a key aspect...

Well, here's a collection of clips that some people probably wish had been discarded.

In the spirit of the weather outside, we've created a mashup above of some of our favorite winter sports fails.

As we discovered, there's a pretty simple formula that leads to most winter sports fails:...

You don't open the NBA season with a 5-20 record without quite a few mental lapses. On Monday night, Washington Wizards center JaVale McGee produced perhaps the silliest such error.. so far.

During the third quarter of their win over the Raptors, McGee attempted a hook shot after driving...

A little more than two weeks ago, Rob Gronkowski introduced us to the phrase "Yo soy fiesta" or "I am party."

Following the Patriot's Super Bowl loss to the Giants, he proved why he is indeed, party.

Video has emerged of Gronkowski tearing up the...

The NFL's Play 60 is a program put on by the league that promotes active lifestyles in an effort to combat childhood obesity. On Super Bowl Sunday, the organization got some positive publicity via a new advertisement that showed active kids in the organization showing off their skills...

Just like the Prohibition-themed ad, Budweiser went for nostalgia with its 'Over The Decades' commercial during the Super Bowl. This advertisement portrayed the beer as a piece of American history by showing its involvement in various phases of America's history over the last century. The back-and-forth-to-the-present...
