PITTSBURGH, PA – According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator, Bruce Arians has agreed to become the new offensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts.

One of my favorite moments in sports is, against all odds, the “deuce” in tennis. Not for the physical act of hitting a fluorescent ball over a net, which I find about as exciting as a city zoning meeting, but for the competitive purity of the concept. You can’t win the game until you’ve won it decisively, by two points — no flukes, no games determined by a bad call or a single sketchy bounce[...]

Also, feel free to hop in at any time in [...]

Kind of reminds me of the year 2007 when the Giants and Patriots faced each other in Super Bowl XLII and the 18-0 Patriots fell to the Giants, 14-17. Well, we will see a rematch as these two teams face off once again in a few weeks.

As both Harbaugh brothers were eliminated today, let’s go back [...]

MIAMI - For Chris Bosh, it was a “stinker.” Erik Spoelstra said it was “sloppy.” Shane Battier called it a “clunker.” As for LeBron James, he was no mood for descriptive words.
