The crowd's deafening roar drowns out the excitement resonating from the stadium announcer at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Camera lights flashing, shimmering, making “The Swamp” glisten like a full moon over the ocean. Tim Tebow lines up at the 15 yard line and takes the shotgun snap, keeps the option fake, and runs it in for the touchdown.
The crowd erupts as if the whole state of Florida is screaming “Tebow, Tebow, Tebow!”. He ends a magnificent career at the University of Florida with a perfect play and win over rival Florida State. It seems Hollywood-like, the way Tebow's final play ...
When the Winter Olympics arrived we gave all our attention to the Olympic hotties and left out some key people that helped make Bleacher Report what it is today out in the cold; the WAG’s. To ensure that doesn’t happen during March Madness I’ve decided to kick off March the right way and have compiled a list of 12 WAGs, each matching a unique Zodiac sign. Enjoy!Begin Slideshow
The cable network show The Soup on E! Television had a joke at the expense of KTLA in Los Angeles. KTLA ran a story about an 84-year-old man who is an active exerciser, but takes it to another level with his love of a unique past time-pole vaulting.
The problem for KTLA was that the 84-year-old pole vaulter was not exactly an Olympian. Instead, the man's effort at the pole vault turned into a blooper made for morning drive television.

Erin Andrews has long served as ESPN's foxy sideline reporter, sashaying her way up and down the court or on the gridiron. Now ESPN's sideline star will take her moves to the stage of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." It was announced last night that Andrews will be one of 11 participants in the new season of ABC's crossover between pop stars, athletes, entertainers and dancing.

Independent navigation in college recruiting can be a daunting effort. Whether it’s investigating NCAA rules and recruiting time lines or developing and implementing tactics to “get on the radar” of the college coaches on your “A” list of schools, an organized and informed approach to the college quest will give prospects and families the best chance at success.
Gather Information
Gathering information is critical to the successful organization of any worthy project. Building a college recruiting information base can begin as early as the ninth grade as a family hobby and increasingly grow into a highly organized, disciplined project by the ...
Sports and movies make a powerful combination. Movies that celebrate the triumph of sport over adversity deeply move us.
What started this post was an innocuous tweet:
@iphonefresh: Invictus was beautiful. Sport truly triumphs over all.
I instantly asked friends and followers across Twitter and Facebook for their "#favsportsmovies."
The recommendations that zipped back—from people in India, USA, and the UK—showed amazing diversity and wonderful movies of varied vintage.
There are many recco’s here I haven’t seen yet and I'm guessing there are some you’d like to catch up on. If you notice any omissions, do add them in the comments.

On my way to the hardware store, I noticed something suspicious, as the store appeared twice the size in length from my last visit.
I escaped a crowd of absolute strangers and eluded my way through the door way. At this very moment, I was completely star struck, noticing the substantial length and width in every aisle.
In my quest to figure out what had happened, I noticed what appeared to be a simple television remote lying on the cold floor. Whistling a soft tune, I bent over and began to notice this was no ordinary remote. With a quick press of ...
The new lineup of the ABC hit show "Dancing With the Stars" will reportedly have the NFL's king of showmanship on its stage this upcoming season. The season's roster of "Dancing With the Stars" will be announced tonight on the network, but reports and Twitters have already surfaced that Chad Ochocinco will be on this season's cast.
Ochocino has spent his Sundays disco-dancing, riverdancing, salsa-dancing and just about any other bodily gyration when he crosses the goal line. Can the Bengals wide receiver translate that to the dance floor? He's got some lofty competition to go up ...
With today being St. David’s Day, it seems only appropriate that we mark the occasion by honouring some of Wales’ greatest sporting exports.
Boxing: Joe Calzaghe
Calzaghe earns his place on the list for being not only one of the best Welsh sportsmen, but one of the best boxers of all time.
The Italian Dragon, incidentally born in Hammersmith, moved to Wales at the age of two to the town of Newbridge.
His illustrious career spanned 16 years and featured a flawless 46-0 record, winning 32 by knockout. He retired as undisputed world champion, having defended his WBO ...
The following is part of a weekly series in which writer Todd Civin presents the lighter side of the Boston Breakers of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS).
The league is built based on the down-to-earth nature and approachability of its athletes.

A special thanks to Erica Hunt, the communications director for the team, as well as the players themselves for making this approach possible.
