Tonight marked the opening night for the NBA.  I, for one was more excited for the thrilling Toronto Maple Leafs-Florida Panthers showdown, but everybody else and their mothers (especially Ray Allen's) seemed more interested in some basketball game in Boston between the Celtics and the Heat.  For the...

Former All-Pro and future Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Brooks wants to know something I think a lot of football fans are wondering: Are the Saints on a Super Bowl hangover or is it something else? Brooks tweets at Saints safety Darren Sharper: @sharper42 whats going on down there? injuries lack of...

I like Josh Cribbs because he's essentially been the only positive about the Cleveland Browns ever since he arrived. On Sunday, Cribbs was knocked out of the game on a vicious hit by Steelers LB James Harrison.  The hit lead to outcry for new rules regarding helmet-to-helmet hits, and has even lead...

Plain and simple, this is the best time for sports. The MLB actually has people watching games as it sprints (crawls) towards the World Series. The NBA regular season is creeping up on everyone and of course both college and pro football are in full swing.  And then there's the beginning of the NHL...

After this weekend’s assortment of brutal helmet-to-helmet collisions in the NFL and the horrific injury in college football that left Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand paralyzed from the neck down, there is a pertinent and necessary question for the NFL to address and Pittsburgh Steelers safety...

I'm not a Jet fan.  My father is not a Jet fan.  His father was not a Jet fan.  Basically, in my family, you're born to love the Giants and hate the Jets.  But that hasn't stopped athletes (and my favorite teenage heartthrob) from sounding off on the Broncos-Jets game, and other NFL action. ESPN...

Anybody who knows me knows this: A) I think Tom Brady is the best quarterback I've ever seen play, and B) That Justin Bieber is the absolute sh*t.  Good thing the F-C-C ain't watchin' me! So when J-Biebs dissed Tom Brady in his newest rap- yes, the teen heartthrob now raps!- I just had to post it: The...

We here at the Jockosphere love Chad Ochocinco for many reasons.  He's a genuinely good guy who loves to have fun.  He's a phenomenal dancer.  While it's easy to label his cocky attitude and wild antics as detrimental to the team, very few teammates actually ever come out against Ochocinco because...

Darrelle Revis has made more news with his mouth than with his play so far this season.  And for Jets fans, that's not good.  Revis- who's missed the last two games with a pulled hamstring (after skipping all of training camp while holding out for a new contract), declared (through Twitter) to the...

Last season, the NFL enacted a new Twitter policy: no player is allowed to tweet within 90 minutes before a game.  It seems fair- players should be focusing on the game, not on tweeting so close to game time.  During the preseason, Chad Ochocinco either didn't get the memo when he broke this rule....
