A cup with the Oakland Raiders logo was set on a desk. Students began to tell the professor what they saw. Here are some of the responses: One student said he saw a depressed man. A student said he saw a very aggressive man. Another student said he saw a man who had been beheaded. Another student said he saw a strong warrior.

In all my years as a sports fan, I ran the gambit from fanatical to the overly fanatical. I have collected the cards, bought the tickets, purchased team jerseys, groveled for autographs and all the things we do as sports fans to feel like we contribute to our team. I have met Nolan Ryan, Craig Biggio, Jay Novacek and a plethora of Dallas Cowboys. I have been in the garage area with Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards and many more. Heck, I saw Elvis in concert as a kid but that’s a completely different story.Needless to say, I’ve been fortunate ...

Florida Marlins president David Samson has no shortage of critics these days in Miami-Dade County. He can thank Deadspin.com for his troubles. On Monday, August 23, Deadspin.com obtained the financial records of the Marlins covering the 2008-09 seasons, and the fallout was not pretty.

In fact, documents show the Marlins could have covered a substantial amount of the new stadium’s construction themselves and still turned an annual ...

Thinking about Hugh McCutcheon's USA women's volleyball team evokes memories of my first-ever piece I wrote for Bleacher Report. On August 21, 2008, I published an article talking about Cuba's women's volleyball team eating humble pie at the expense of the states during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

On Sunday, August 29 at the Beilun Gymnasium in Ningbo, China, the USA swept Japan 26-24, 25-20, 25-23 to win the 2010 FIVB World ...

Sports movies seem to play either on the sap of the athlete making an incredible comeback, a miraculous journey by a team or individual to a title or a romantic comedy.What is usually lost in casting is getting actors that are actually athletic.Seeing some of these performances on screen seem like a waste of time.Actors who can't run, catch, shoot or dribble or are just too old, short, or out of shape playing athletes make you wonder what the casting director was really thinking.  Begin Slideshow
