A college class read the Bleacher article on Mrs. Flora Jackson. They are now composing a letter to the President of the United States to request that the 100-year-old Mrs. Flora Jackson be honored and recognized for her love of sports and quilting.
We wish to honor Mrs. Flora Jackson for Black History Month 2010. We can learn from history, and we can certainly use our creative writing to tell stories of citizens who have contributed to the wellness and creativity of America. We realize that contributions have been made in every echelon, and from all social or economic levels of ...
The day after the Canadian women's hockey team got in trouble for smoking cigars and drinking champagne and beer on the ice, the men had a close call at the end of their game against Slovakia.
Newspapers across Canada carried pictures of the national women's hockey team celebrating its 2-0 win over the United States. The International Olympic Committee was not pleased when their party spilled out of their locker room and back onto the ice.
The Canadian women later offered an apology. The Slovaks shocked Russia and surprised Sweden. With a chance at Olympic gold on the line, the Slovaks came close to ...
Chelsea play Manchester City this afternoon in a Premier League game that in the past has been termed "the clash of the cash." Today it’s all about Wayne Bridge and John Terry and what will happen before kickoff.
Never mind the pressure on City manager Roberto Mancini, the race for fourth, and the fact that this may be an opportunity for Chelsea to drop vital points in the title race.
No, a puerile quarrel between two overpaid, over-loved, (and one) oversexed individuals should overshadow the spectacle.
Now, I’m not exactly the most informed on the tabloid allegations and consummate whirlwind engulfing many column ...

In this slideshow, I present to you the best of both worlds: Stars of the sports world who looks just like the stars of Hollywood, and some from the music world (hint: It might be Snoop Dogg).

Winning an Olympic medal is unquestionably a great accomplishment. Not only is that medal a personal triumph for the athlete, but it's also felt as a triumph for their entire nation.
So many U.S. Olympic athletes have spoken of the thrill of standing on the podium as the American flag is raised and the Star Spangled Banner is played. It is an honor and a privilege to represent one's country.
But I have found it troubling that several of our medal winning athletes have chosen not to place their hand over their heart as the American Flag is raised and the anthem played.
No, there is not ...
With the World Cup set to kick off in July, why wait until then to start ranking the teams?
And by ranking, we’re obviously not talking about the action on the field. You can find the World Cup Power Rankings here. Instead, we’re talking about the women behind the men in uniform. We’re talking about the most beautiful women that the soccer world has to offer. Begin Slideshow
Anyone who has ever stepped foot onto the football field, baseball diamond, hardwood, soccer pitch, or hockey rink knows the feeling of adrenaline that comes over you during a big victory.
More so than any other emotion is the sheer joy and excitement that comes over your body, your mind and your heart that causes many athletes to lash out in spontaneous outburst of speed around the playing surface or brings them to tears.
Some athlete’s embrace old traditions like the lighting up of a cigar after big victory or the drinking and pouring of champagne after the big win.
What harm can come in ...
Before Monday, Terry Newton was a rugby player, famous only in Great Britain. But when it was announced that he had tested positive for HGH , he instantly became famous around the world.
Newton, who was immediately suspended for two years, is the first athlete to ever test positive for HGH by a national sporting anti-doping agency. And as expected, the shockwaves from his positive test has had a ripple effect here in America.
Yesterday, commissioner Bud Selig announced that MLB plans to start testing in the minor leagues as soon as possible. He also said that he will make every attempt to ...
Arsenal fans may well remember Gilberto Silva with a smile. The Brazilian midfielder was an understated yet brilliant performer for the Gunners and a key component of the ‘Invincibles’ side of 2004.
As Cesc Fabregas emerged from Patrick Vieira’s shadow it was Gilberto that played foil to the magical Spaniard. Off the football pitch the Brazilian is said to be a level-headed and genuine person, and is a patron of the charity The Street League.
"I miss the good atmosphere within the team. But to be honest, I miss everything about Arsenal!” Gilberto told Arsenal’s official website in a recent interview. “The ...
ay's announcement that British Rugby player Terry Newton tested positive in November for HGH may be the biggest sports story to come out this week.
As a boxing scribe here at Bleacher Report, I have probably spent as much time writing and blogging about PED and HGH testing as I have about events in the ring for much of the last four months. It's been a hot topic since the debate that has raged over Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s demand for Olympic style drug testing in his match with Manny Pacquiao.
One of the reasons I have never taken "Money's" demand seriously is ...
