Video games, especially the more violent ones, have been the source of much argument and controversy over the past 20 years, with parents and religious leaders usually being the most outspoken.

Miami has become (along with Bosh and Wade) a basketball juggernaut, and Cleveland (I’m talking Cleveland as a whole) has nothing left to live for. I’m sorry, but this whole thing has pissed me off in [...]

Being Independence Day, it was time for the annual Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island in New York yesterday, an event broadcast live on ESPN. Joey Chestnut ate his way to a fourth championship, gobbling down 54 wieners in 10 minutes and earning the $20,000 purse. Unfortunately, he was somewhat upstaged when [...]

This time of year, everyone’s buzzing about the new statistics for the upcoming Madden release, desperately trying to find out which teams and players are on the rise or on the decline.
