Why Lebron’s dunk was better than Blake Griffin’s monster slam dunk
It’s a debate kids in the schoolyard are talking about. So I thought, why not take a side here? As an NBA junkie, both dunks this past week were spectacular, but one was better than the other. The two dunks over the past few days of NBA action have sent shockwaves through the league. The [...]

Will Peyton Manning provide the same Brett Favre drama?
With a the big game happening on Sunday, and media day kicking off this morning, my hope is that we (media outlets) don’t give Peyton Manning the PR he so desires.

Win of the Night: So, Syracuse at #4 winning on the road against an unranked Cincinnati might seem like a stretch here, but coming off their first loss of the season, and still playing without center Fab Melo, against a feisty Bearcat team, it’s a pretty impressive win for the Orange.
