He may only be 12 years old, but Tom Schaar from Malibu, California is already big news within the world of skateboarding.
Team USA's got the blues. Not even the arrival of journalist Raquel Ruiz could dispel the gloom when Queen Underwood lost her Olympic bid.
Just days from now, on May 20 and 22, the team will be racing in Lucerne, Switzerland against France and New Zealand. Only one boat will win this last ticket to the London Summer Games. They call it "The Regatta of Death."
Instead of force-feeding the post to Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol and playing inside-out, Brown is content merely to run his half-court offense through Kobe Bryant.
Re-watching The Bad News Bears, I was reminded of my tomboy roots, my need for adventure and laughter, and the importance of doing things with authenticity and humor.
Eric LeGrand suffered a spinal cord injury that paralyzed him. Even though LeGrand will never play football again, he is set to graduate from college next year and hopefully become a well-known sportscaster.
Scoring totals in the NBA can be quite deceptive. A player can boost his scoring totals by simply taking more and more shots. But if this shooting is inefficient, teams actually suffer from this choice.
Everybody's talking 'bout Sus-pension, no pension, criticism, gamemanshipisms, One game, or two games, six games, no seven games...
In my practice the first thing that I determine when I'm evaluating a player is what their feet are doing when they hit the ground. If the player's foot is flat it can lead to balance problems.
Brazil soccer coach Mano Menezes announced a list of 23 players for Brazil's upcoming friendlies against Denmark, the United States, Mexico and Argentina.
I remember the ball hitting the back of the net to put City up 3 to 2, then next thing I know the pitch is filled with Manchester City fans crying tears of celebration. What had happened was far too dramatic to have been real, right?
A baseball season mirrors life -- it is long and has many chances for redemption. I've been an Angels fan since 1961. This is a time when we find out who the true fans are.
For better or worse, the heavyweights are making themselves heard again. Big, clumpy, unsightly footsteps left in the ground of combat sports, the type that stick and cast shadows over those with less power and size. And, it's true, heavyweights make the world go round.
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher, Cole Hamels, did the unthinkable: He told the truth. After plunking 19-year-old baseball phenom, Bryce Harper, in the back, he admitted that he did it intentionally.
The Lakers are desperate to find a way to prevent their season from ending. So what's the solution? The same guy who pissed off millions of viewers with a heartless attack is the unsung hero turning things around.
Whether or not the Ranger/Devils series turns out to be a classic, I'm guessing the post game news conferences will be. Rangers coach John Tortorella has been putting on a show.
As Mother's Day 2012 is upon us, I want to ask for one favor of all athletes (current or past). Look your mother in the eyes today, and sincerely thank her. Thank her for being the your loudest cheerleader, biggest fan and most consistent supporter.
Once the Red Sox break the streak, and odds are they will if they continue to measure sellouts the way they currently do, it will just be one more piece of the franchise that their ownership company can merchandise and market.
