A taste of things to come. In my personal opinion there is no one hotter in our out of the cage than the girls of MMA. That’s right, I said it, and you can quote me on it. Some of these girls REALLY get down, and I mean in a ground and pound kind of way. After looking at these lovely ladies you will see what I mean. With UFC 111 coming up I decided to heat things up in the right way by starting out with three Octagon Girls currently hired by the ...

Erin Andrews turned out to be a hit in her debut on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars". Andrews burned up the dance floor and showed that she can handle the spotlight and the dance steps to become a reality television show star. It is not easy to make the jump to reality show stardom (or maybe it is?), either way Andrews showed with her performance on Dancing With the Stars that she is more than a microphone jockey for ESPN. With that in mind, we thought about 10 other reality shows Andrews would also star in. Begin Slideshow

Tiger looks worse after the latest interviews. It’s just more controlling the situation with ESPN and Golf Channel. He would only talk for five minutes. The interview couldn’t air until 7:30 p.m. He had to be standing really close to the interviewer. He would only reply to questions beginning with a prime number. The whole act is just wearing thin. Just zip it until your first Masters round, Eldrick. There are no more answers here. Tiger is just spewing psychobabble now. He said he did some really bad things but won’t say what. The problem here is he already looked and sounded ...

It’s possible that if you’re a male sports fan you may be faced with the same problem that I’ve been dealing with lately. Explaining to your wife/girlfriend/significant other how it is possible that male athletes seem incapable of keeping their focus when it comes to committed relationships? I’m not sure how I became the spokesperson for the rest of my kind. I have valiantly tried to frame my responses to ensure that we, males, are not all viewed as creatures with the same mind and motivations that get these few sports stars targeted in the press. It’s easy for me to fall ...

The NFL has a committee.  The NCAA has conducted studies.  The State of Washington passed a law. Concussions are the hot topic in football outside of the NFL draft. While there has been a lot of medical evidence gathered, studies are admittedly still far from complete.  Post-concussive tests, baseline tests and post-career tests are all being conducted.  It is only a matter of time before the medical sciences map out the physical damage done by concussions—both immediate and long-term effects. Who will study the psychological effects? And not the psychology of the brain and the impact of a concussion, but the psychology of the locker room and the machismo that accompanies it. It ...

I know this is a risky venture, since most readers are used to short, concise sports reporting or opinion, but I am going to give it a shot anyway. This is a piece I wrote about some causes for violent and aggressive behavior in and at sporting events. I am presenting it here in three parts and I hope you all find the time to gain some knowledge on this subject. It has been said of sport, "It does not create the conditions for war, but it does maintain the possibility of those conditions, and adds its own efficiency to the other forces ...

Back in mid-2008, I wrote a post about the changing landscape of sports in America and remarked: My personal opinion is that if MMA were a stock, you should be backing up the truck to buy. The results are in. UFC 100 led all PPV buys, and the organization accounted for six of the top 10 buys in 2009. Add in the “minor league” (organizations like the WEC, EliteXC, and Strikeforce), and MMA’s financial and cultural penetration is deep. Only boxing’s Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr—charismatic, singular, once-in-a-lifetime pugilistic talents—can compete with MMA’s dozen deep roster of pay proven superstars, in terms of fan ...

Tiger Woods appeared on national television last Sunday looking fit, relaxed, and altogether healthier than he did several weeks ago at the PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Perhaps Woods was finally ready to come clean about everything, dispel all the ridiculous rumors, and move on with his life. An unscripted, no-holds-barred five-minute rapid-fire question-and-answer session.  Perhaps this was going to be the final straw that would break the rumor mill’s back.  Or maybe not. Seventy seconds into Tom Rinaldi’s ESPN interview, Woods was asked the most obvious question of them all: What happened during the early morning hours of Nov. 27? OK, ...

Dancing With The Stars made its season debut last night. The year's cast includes faces from all of sports, pop and culture. Chad Ochocinco led off the action last night, but many eyes were on ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Andrews has remained somewhat in the background since the release of the embarrassing stalker video. However, EA got a chance to cut loose and shine on national televison last night. How did she look? How well did she dance? Look inside for pictures and video of Andrews' first performance. Begin Slideshow

The recent announcement that Kobe Bryant will appear on an upcoming episode of ABC's "Modern Family" got us thinking about some of greatest athlete cameos ever on television. Athletes have long appeared on television, including some of the best and most recognizable programs. But only a select few could make it as the best and thus the most memorable. Look inside to see who made the cut. Begin Slideshow
