If it hasn't been covered yet, let me say, for the record- I'm a Tampa Bay Rays fan.  And a big one.  And one of the few.  And now, my fears are being realized: the players are beginning to notice that the all the empty blue seats aren't representative of a mass exodus to the bathroom, but unsold...

Chris Douglas-Roberts, AKA CDR (aren't acronyms fun?) probably will never be a top-flight NBA player.  Sure, he'll be a nice rotational player with upside, but he'll never be a guy I'll buy a poster of or draft for my fantasy team.  But his college career was one of the most decorated in the University...

As of now, OJ Simpson-a USC alum, Hall of Fame NFL player, yet also an accused murderer who's currently in jail for an armed robbery, is a Heisman winner.  But his fellow former Trojan, RB Reggie Bush, with his megawatt smile, countless endorsements, and clean criminal record, will have to find another...

As the "Queen"...

Now, as some of you now, I'm an unabashed Belieber (fan of Justin Bieber).  This isn't my first foray into the impact Bieber has had on the sports world.  So when I saw Shaquille O'Neal, an outsized character in his own right, challenged JB to a dance contest on Shaq's "hit" ABC show "Shaq Vs." —...
