"They'll break your heart, kid." It's what Jimmy Fallon's uncle told him in the movie Fever Pitch as Fallon grew up a Boston Red Sox fan. I know the feeling of heartbreak when it comes to sports teams. I have been a fan of the Tennessee Titans since the team moved to Nashville from Houston. I remember vividly the final play of Super Bowl XXXIV ... [Read More…]

Football is my fantasy
It's that time of the year again, sports fans. Time to pull out the ol' pigskin, don your favorite jersey, set  your laptop in front of you and draft your fantasy football team.

Mavs overcame odds and elbows to move on in NBA playoffs
After witnessing the classless play of the Lakers during their season-ending series against the Mavericks, I have determined two immutable things.

Mavericks show toughness
Being a Mavericks fan, I have always stood by my team, despite its shortcomings in the postseason. Despite what the analysts say, the Mavericks haven't choked every year in the playoffs.

On the surface, the NFL lockout is between the players and the owners.

LeBron in Miami. Carmelo to New York. Deron Williams is headed to New Jersey.
