When I was on the JV basketball team, I needed to do everything I could to keep my slot as 3rd string backup point guard. I needed that extra edge.

Why We Hate A-Rod

Judd Gregg acting schizophrenic, withdrawing as Commerce Secretary nominee over policy disagreements after previously lobbying for the post and promising that policy disagreements would not keep him from backing Obama's agenda.

We don't care if the bonecrushing behemoths of the gridiron build themselves up to the size of rhinos, but when we find out some baseball player has been using, we act like we've just lost our virginity.
