“I think its lame the US Open is trying to regulate our tweeting.. i understand the on-court issue but not sure they can tell us if we can… "cant [tweet] on our own time.... we'll see” Just another day in Jock-Twitter-Land — that portion of TheJockosphere where athletes engage in a daily battle...

Next time someone you know gives you a hard time about your fantasy football obsession, take heart.  You’re in good company. Chris (King of Cool) Cooley loves his Fantasy football just as much as the next guy. And just like any other Fantasy-loving pleb, he’s all kinds of excited about the recent...

The summer is winding down and the last few weeks of warm weather means athletes are participating in various charity golf tournaments. First up, Portland Center Greg Oden (you know the guy who looks 40 but is really 21).  On his blog, Oden recounts his golf outing. "Last friday i went to Terre Haute...

First we watched Stephon Marbury have a nervous breakdown, live on the web.  Now, Michael Beasley, the Miami Heat's second-year player and last year's #2 overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft has tweeted his thoughts of frustration — and quite possibly depression — along with a photo of himself posing...

It's pretty obvious that up to this point in life Plaxico has not had many good role models.  He's been fined (between 40 and 50 times), suspended, and now sentenced to 2 years in jail.  No one in his life has ever taught, or perhaps more fairly, got through to him on how to think critically.  He,...

All to often we hear about the athletes in bad way.  We hear about despicable actions like dog fighting (Michael Vick), poor judgment like DUI manslaughter (Donte' Stallworth), and just plain old stupidity like shooting yourself in a nightclub with an illegal gun that was tucked away in the waistline...

Well the old man is back...again.  After avoiding the first two weeks of brutal two-a-days, Brett Favre has finished plowing fields, mending fences, packing his Wranglers, and decided that yesterday would be a good day to find a team to play for this year.

The last we saw Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti he was teaming up with with the wiener swallowing hot dog eating champ, Joey Chestnut, to scarf down a pizza.  But much like Justin Timberlake breaking away from 'N Sync, Pat's latest video is solo venture that would make most young girls cry and scream This...

Michael Vick signed a 1 year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and NFL twitter nation blew up.  Players from all over chimed in and many were excited to see Vick back in the league. Nick Barnett was nice and simple, albeit seemingly confused: Vick to Philly huh Andre Johnson offered Vick his...
