There’s only one game left in the NFL season.
For the next two weeks, we’re going to be bombarded with Super Bowl news, analysis and rumors.  For fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers, it will be heavenly.  For fans of every other team, it’s gonna get old real quick, no matter how much [...]

First of all, I have to say, it was my utmost pleasure putting this special edition together. In a way, putting it together was a way for me to honor Scott in a way that I could…through my graphics… and I was happy to oblige him…

This tribute captures Scott in all senses of the words, through the stories of others, through his own words, and through everyone here at the SJ family honoring him each and every day.

While the “Midwest Super Bowl,” was not the game everyone anticipated per say, it was a game full of interesting sub-plots. Arguably the most intriguing of them all was how the Packers allowed the Bears to stick around at the end.
Despite holding the Bears to only one touchdown in their previous 30 drives, the Packers [...]

Oh how the mighty Golden Panthers have fallen….

Oh wait, a minute… that was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that… For the first time in Golden Panther Football, the FIU Golden Panthers have finally reached the plateau after falling several times in the program’s short history. Having been established in 2002, it took only eight years [...]

Auburn and Oregon brought the 2010 college football season to a close, and with it came a statistical end to the Pacific 10 conference. The Ducks were denied an opportunity to provide a championship bookend for a league that saw Southern California capture the crown for the inaugural year of 1978. But with one final game played, we receive one last digit,[...]

Grauman’s Chinese Theater is one of the top landmarks in Hollywood, a place where some of the silver screen’s biggest stars have forever placed their footprints and handprints in cement. Have you ever wanted to know the real shoe sizes of Cary Grant and Van Heflin? This is your chance!

Up until now, the cement was reserved for the biggest names [...]

Tiger Woods had, at least for him, an unusually rough 2010. He lost his wife, endorsement deals, his #1 ranking and every tournament that he entered.

Andruw Jones and the New York Yankees agreed to a $2 million, one-year contract on Thursday, according to an anonymous leaker familiar with team negotiations. The deal, which includes the opportunity to earn an additional $1.2 million in performance bonuses, is pending a physical.
Jones is expected to make some sort of impact as a right-handed [...]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Dan Gilbert and his Cleveland Cavaliers are the worst team in the NBA right now.
At 8-33, the Cavs, for lack of a more fitting term, suck. They have lost 14 in a row and have won only one game since November 30.
Do you remember, I do, Gilbert stating that the Cavs would make the playoffs and win a title before Lebron James?
A title, the Cavs will be lucky to win 15 games by season’s end. [...]

The Counselor is IN:

Ten years ago, Fantasy Football was only for sports geeks like me. Over the last decade, Fantasy Football has taken the nation by storm. It is no longer just for stat nerds. I now know a higher percentage of people who participate in Fantasy Football than don’t. There are leagues for all levels of fans including Girls Only Leagues where it is accepted to pick players by the color of their jerseys and tightness of their behind sides. Fantasy Baseball has not enjoyed…
