Well, here they are: The fearless NFL predictions offered by myself and Jeff Falconio. Much to the chagrin of many, neither of us have the Packers in the Super Bowl. I just can't see a way for the Packers to stop a high quality passing attack with a limited pass rush and shaky secondary. I'd love to say that Al Harris would provide a boost to the unit in the second half of the season, but that's a very difficult thing to do right now...he can't be counted on.

According to Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, we should know the final division alignment of the Big Ten Conference around mid-September. Already, there has been tremendous speculation as to how this could look. Will it be East/West? Will it be a hodge-podge? Do Ohio State and Michigan need to stay in the same division? Those are just a few of the questions being posed as we near the end result.

I'm sure you've heard of the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. The time honored tradition is undeniably one of the most mind-boggling and bonkers events one could imagine. Let's have a few 1200 pound angry bulls...complete with mature horns on each side of the head...run through narrow cobblestone streets of Pamplona while a bunch of people dressed in white jump suits run for their lives SIGN ME UP!

Ever since the first Viking fan tried to make me think that Brett Favre would never go about is 'business' the same way he did in Green Bay I've been waiting for this day.

Imagine being a member of the Miami Heat organization in the summer of 2010. The euphoric high that was generated with the arrival of LeBron James has now cast a dark cloud over the former staff that was licking their chops waiting to sell tickets.

Anyone who was wondering why LeBron James would leave Cleveland for Miami should see the link below. Few places offer the geographic luxuries that Miami boasts (and there's pretty decent night life).

Anyone who's been to a baseball game and watched a fan lean over the ledge, even at the slightest of angels, has imagined what it would be like if that person fell from one level to the next. It always makes me whince.

Tuesday night's electric debut for the Washington Nationals Stephen Strasburg was positively amazing...and positively uplifting for a franchise that has been mired in futility since joining the league. In his first big league start...some 12 months after he was selected #1 overall by the Nationals in the 2009 MLB draft...Strasburg has immediately become something that all players wish to become - must see TV.

I'm a pretty simple man by nature: I love doing things that benefit a great cause, and I love beer. Combine the two and I will be there front and center (and perhaps camping overnight).

After a difficult first two months of the season, the Milwaukee Brewers are still well within striking distance of the teams at the top of the National League, but they find themselves at a crossroads. Fans, media, and perhaps even the players are wondering what the "big move" will be to shake things up and set this team on track toward getting above .500 and playing meaningful baseball after the All-Star break.

In one of the most bizarre endings to a US Open match in history, Serena Williams goes bonkers on a lineswomean after a questionable call. No word if she'll be allowed to play in the men's tournament. Check out the video here.

On second thought, maybe creating a Halloween scene that reenacts Steve McNair's murder scene WASN'T such a great idea. I could see your drunken neighbor doing something this tasteless, but an amusement park? I hope someone lost their job because of this.

The moment the last seconds ticked off the clock at the Metro and Edward Jones Dome last weekend, the focus has been on the Packers/Vikings matchup. I understand the hype and hysteria that surrounds this game, but think we have all become a little too saturated with it all.

The start of the 2009-2010 NBA season is upon us, and as in years past, the start of the season coincides with Halloween weekend. In light of this once a year tradition and the start of a fresh NBA season, I thought it pertinent to point out some of the worst costumes…er…uh uniforms in NBA history. There are many lists out there relative to the topic, but this is the only list that should be considered ‘official’.

Spooky things happen on daylight savings...and when coupled with Halloween, well, it's just thunderdome.

There are a variety of sites on the interweb which offer their take on 'NBA Rookie Player rankings'. Consistent with the majority of these sites is that Bucks rookie PG Brandon Jennings is in the top two. You need not be a fan of the Bucks...or basketball for that matter....to realize that what Jennings has been able to do to start his career is nothing short of remarkable.

Ah, Jeff Falconio and Greg Matzek, such dedicated sports fans that they've decided to spend 24 hours of their lives letting their eyeballs bounce up and down at the sight of a basketball bouncing on a college campus.
