It appears that 2011′s luster has lingered into 2013 for the Detroit Lions, as Vegas has rated them with a kind 7.5 regular-season win total.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Kansas Jayhawks will enter the 2013-14 college basketball season as the favorites in the Big 12 Conference.

However, players across the league continue to flail at times when their is hardly a foul. Perhaps the most annoying part of a game, referees are forced to make a [...]
The most exciting aspect of fantasy baseball is obviously home runs. There is nothing better than hearing the crack of the bat and seeing a ball go sailing over the fence. However, seeing a speedy player dash the 90 feet from first to second in an attempt to steal the base has to be the [...]
