While Hollywood has still to produce a smashing flick with the soccer ball, independent film has been heading up the titles.
From my first dunk at 14 years old to my second NCAA Championship, my intense training with my dad was always to credit. From day one, he put me through the same regimen as my brothers.
Rangers All-Star Goalie Henrik Lundqvist spent time with me to talk about his dad and Father's Day. Growing up in Sweden with his twin brother, he described his dad as being "the rock" of the family.
HuffPost's Jordan Schultz broke down the NBA Draft on Wednesday (6/15) with Noah Coslov of CineSport.
The FCC has leveled the playing field and the Courts have upheld their authority. Now it's time for the FCC to actually enforce its own ruling
Don't you find it interesting that the Giants won't rule out rehiring Plaxico Burress? They made it seem as if he was toast while he was sitting in jail, but now that he's out, it's a different story.
A real friend would tell a guy like LeBron James that he is really messing up his image and his brand. But his yes-men entourage never will. They don't want to get kicked off the gravy train.
Lebron James, obviously overcome by the series loss, has exposed the raw underbelly of professional sports by what could be the most insensitive, hurtful post-game comment since the invention of ESPN.
As someone who has studied Buddhism (read: slightly above Wikipedia-level knowledge), I see several important concepts that resonate in the outcome of the series.
The past two weeks have probably not been the best fortnight of Lebron James' life. And yes, he's brought that upon himself. But here's what I really don't understand: What did LeBron James do that was so terrible?
Poise and perspective and restraint are the skills of veteran players. Disappointment and frustration and outright embarrassment teach them well. In that respect, the Miami Heat should be a tougher Finals opponent next time.
The Mavericks won the last three games by dominating the fourth quarter. They aren't the most athletic or explosive team, but they know how to play the game, and they are champions.
The Dallas Maverick's demonstrated that a passionate, determined, gritty and talented team could prevail over a group of superstars. This should be the biggest takeaway for the Miami Heat.
Not everyone agrees that we should continue to harbor such ill will against LeBron. Here, a roundup of what sports columnists are saying about "The Decision" as the Heat sit on the brink of elimination.
It has been more than difficult to track down culinary traditions from Le Mans day, as you see it around the Super Bowl, World Cup Finals and other major sporting events. Something has to be done, right?
If Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks win this year's NBA Finals, as I fully expect them to do, it will be a huge step forward for U.S. sports and U.S. attitudes about the rest of the world.
I love the NBA final championship games because it means basketball season is coming to a close and I can get my husband back from the months of obsessively reading ESPN and watching post-game highlights.
Yogi and Carmen, his loving wife of 62 years, are the closest thing our country has to royalty. They are both national treasures. Yet they continue to share, in their humble way, their passion and energies with so many people and causes.
