Apparently not everyone in Dallas was thrilled their selection of Dez Bryant in last week’s draft. Receiver Patrick Crayton has asked for a trade and is no longer attending voluntary workouts, while backup receiver Sam Hurd has also asked to be moved. This comes after the Cowboys used their first round pick on Bryant, the [...]

Despite having multiple off-field incidents during his career, Santonio Holmes was still an attractive receiving option for the New York Jets, who acquired him from Pittsburgh this offseason. Now, Holmes is already in trouble, after a strange airport incident: “The Jets’ recently acquired wide receiver was escorted off a plane Thursday night at the Pittsburgh [...]

The Hart Trophy finalists have been announced, and while some might be shocked by the absence of Ryan Miller and Ilya Bryzgalov, there’s no denying all three of the nominees are well deserving. Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby, Washington’s Alexander Ovechkin and Vancouver’s Henrik Sedin are all up for the award, and the final vote will likely [...]

In the latest development for video game developers, Activision signed a 10-year deal with Bungie – the fine people who developed the Halo series – to publish their next franchise.

As hardcore gamers wait in anticipation, the one phrase repeated over and over, thanks to EA Sports’ aggressive marketing campaign, [...]

China was stripped of a Bronze medal from the 2000 summer Olympics in Sydney for fielding an underage gymnast. The IOC acted based on a recommendation from the International Gymnastics Federation, who had determined that Dong Fangxiao was indeed 14 during the games, instead of the requisite age of 16. Because her scores contributed to [...]

Yes, video games are once again in the media spotlight. And this time, the front page news isn’t about awesome new technological breakthroughs, or the unveiling of Madden 11’s cover athlete. No, the big news is that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to rule on whether the government should ban the sale of violent [...]

I wouldn’t call hockey my favorite sport on a daily basis, but that ranking system goes completely out the window when playoffs hit. At this time of the year, I have my eyes on just as many pucks as balls (basketballs, baseballs or other). Because seriously, there is nothing quite like the NHL playoffs. It’s [...]

Easily the biggest surprise at yesterday’s draft was easily when Tim Tebow was taken before Jimmy Clausen. Marshall Faulk summed it up nicely when he said “This is the first time winning has trumped talent.” Clausen, still on the board heading into the next round, is by consensus a better quarterback where it should count.
