I still haven’t sorted out why the fine folks at Sports Illustrated picked LeBron James to be their Sportsperson of the Year for 2016; James is a stellar athlete, and his home state Cleveland Cavaliers did win the NBA title after being down 3-1 to the Golden State Warriors,…

2016 was a tremendous year in the sporting world. From highlight reel plays to history making moments and photo finishes, sports was once again a much-needed alternative to the world around us.

Here are the top ten moments for Latino athletes…

This year was another interesting year in sports law, highlighted by the Supreme Court’s rejection of certiorari in O’Bannon v. NCAA — marking an end to six years of litigation over whether the NCAA can prevent colleges from sharing licensing revenues with their athletes. 2017 figures to be just as exciting year, with a series of new lawsuits related to college athletes’ rights, sports gaming, and labor law. Here are the…

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer installed a game plan designed to take away Jordy Nelson with cornerback Xavier Rhodes shadowing the Packers’ top wideout. Citing a history of having never done what Zimmer instructed against Nelson, Vikings cornerbacks decided to stick with their own plan as Nelson ripped them for seven catches, 145 yards and two touchdowns before halftime. Rhodes followed Zimmer’s orders in the second half and Nelson…

The Detroit Lions have a gripe for a few missed calls in their 42-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, just as they did following a playoff loss in this same building two years ago. But that was ancient history, just as Monday’s loss should be by the time the Lions land back in Detroit. They have a second chance this time around. They have to get ready for the massive…

On Friday, Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw, who won four Super Bowls as quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, made headlines when he disparagingly called current Steelers coach Mike Tomlin “a great cheerleader guy.” As a guest on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak for Yourself,” Bradshaw was asked if Tomlin is an elite NFL head coach and Bradshaw responded, “I don’t think he’s a great coach at all. He’s a…

Oakland Raiders fans suffered a gut shot on Christmas Eve when they saw their star quarterback mouth the words “it’s broken” after falling to the ground in a blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. There’s still slim hope that Derek Carr could return, but it almost certainly would have to be in the Super Bowl. And that would mean Matt McGloin would be leading the Raiders from now…

When he’s not putting the capital letters in Fat Guy Touchdown, Dontari Poe is merely a Pro Bowl defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. In this moment, on this play, he was the final insult in a…

It was hard to believe it was happening as it happened on the afternoon of Dec. 25. Eyes widened as Kyrie Irving tossed up a jumper in the fourth quarter. Jaws dropped as he closed the 14-point gap to put the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead, as Kevin Durant missed the final shot from the seated position into which Richard Jefferson deposited him.
