Pakistan was not always like that. There was a significant infrastructure in Pakistan -- at least by Asian standards -- and some international-level stadiums and sports arenas. Cricket, in particular, was the highlight of Pakistan and it fetched the 1992 World Cup to much jubilation and festivities; it reached another...

When Myron Cope created the Terrible Towel back in 1975, little did he know that it'd become one of the most recognizable and beloved (at least by Steelers fans) symbols in modern-day sports. You can find fans with their Towels almost anywhere, from families posing with them on the Great...

The blockbuster movie "New Moon" has now intruded in my sports life and in a stunning way. My Lakers season seat partner informed me just prior to last Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls that he thought he and I needed to take separate cars to the event.

I couldn't...

Neil Leifer and I are both so impressed by what's happening at the Annenberg Space for Photography. If you love Sports in any way shape or form you are going to enjoy what you see here. To have a lady like Wallis Annenberg put two sports photographers together is quite...

Dick Jauron is gone...a little too late...but hey, better late than never. Ralph Wilson officially relieved Jauron of his duties as head coach on Tuesday and later that night announced that defensive coordinator for three seasons, Perry Fewell, would step in as interim...

Remember in the third grade when one of your friends would walk up to you and say, "I know something you don't know."

It didn't matter which friend said it, whether it was your bestie or just that girl who ate the smelly egg salad sandwiches for lunch, or whether...

As USA Basketball's spokesperson and primary media contact, it's safe to assume that Craig Miller receives a ton of phone calls and email inquiries that can quickly and easily fill up an eight-hour workday. Add that to the mix of coordinating all press conferences, overseeing all press releases, producing USA...

White House vs. Fox News is so last month. The final health care throw-down in the Senate hasn't quite arrived. But not since the Bob McDonnell-Creigh Deeds beatdown last month have we had a fresh, juicy political feud for the average Metro rider to talk about and take...

This year the Buffalo Bills celebrate their 50th Anniversary and as such, I mark the same duration as a Bills Season Ticket holder. My dad, until his death in 1992, and I have made the annual commitment to support our professional football team for fifty years, but in light of...

I'll be honest here. When Mid-Majority founder Kyle Whelliston told me he was going to write a book about Tony Ingle, I had to do a quick google search to find...

Think of all those brand names that players pick up as endorsements. And make bags of money in the process. And the team strips emblazoned with corporate logos. But maybe it's time for a new logo to be branded across the chests of our favorite soccer stars -- those ones...

This past week's elections of Zack Greinke and Tim Lincecum as the Cy Young winners for their respective leagues has generated some controversy. While no one disputes the fact that these gentlemen are among the game's best pitchers, they fall short in one performance statistic that is near and dear...

The NBA season is less than 4 weeks old but analyzing the play by play data from each game enables us to obtain many interesting insights. Our approach (called Adjusted +/-) looks at how the movement of the game score depends on the 10 players on the court. After adjusting...

With one, perhaps two, touches on Wednesday night in Paris, Thierry Henry cemented his country's place in this summer's FIFA World Cup in South Africa. But it was not with his often graceful, sometimes majestic foot that the Barcelona star undid the Irish defense.

Instead, he split through the shamrock...

All the outrage over New Mexico soccer player Elizabeth Lambert's dirty play - including her pony-tail-yanking an opponent to the ground - was justified given this egregious act of poor sportsmanship.

But as the conversation and video have gone viral - from SportsCenter to NFL pre-game shows to David...

The fans fortunate enough to be on hand at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas last Saturday night bared witness to boxing's best absolutely dismantling an over-matched Miguel Cotto. It was a fight that led promoters, hype men, boxing loyalists and fans everywhere to exhale a protracted, slow...

You know what is really amazing about football? You can learn new things about the game every time you watch.

Take the Bucs/Dolphins game. See, I thought that an interception was when one team throws the ball, and the other team catches it. But you know what an interception really...
