The NFL enters week five of its 2011 season — its first bye week — with just two unbeaten teams: the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers and the upstart Detroit Lions. Both teams will play in the primetime games on Sunday and Monday, respectively. Meanwhile, ...

Eighteen-year-old Brianna Amat of Pinckney, Michigan is a former soccer player who found her stellar kicking skills were better utilized on the varsity football team. During Friday night’s game, she was called from the locker room at half-time to accept a crown. The popular senior had been voted Pinckney High School’s homecoming queen.

Here's a feel good story from football. A vendor at a San Diego Chargers game tripped, fell and dropped over $1,000 in cash. The money was scattered over two levels at Qualcomm stadium on September 1st as the Chargers played the 49ers. As soon as the money was dropped, fans began picking it up and handing it back to the vendor. Other fans yelled down to the seats below 'That's the server's mon

The 2011 season is off to a wild start.  It was amazing to watch the games over this past week and weekend.   And fans are ready for another big Sunday afternoon of action.  Possibly the most exciting play last week happened in the Monday night game featuring the Patriots versus the Dolphins.  Tom Brady capped off a 500+ yard night of passing with a 99-yarder to Wes Welker.  All anybody could say

Fans are still a little disgruntled at the NFL lockout, but will be front and center as the preseason kicks off tonight (August 11th).  I always look forward to the beginning of the new season of NFL games. The beginning of this year's NFL play could be ugly, since players have had less time to practice, and possibly less physical training with the extended lockout. You can expect to see more i

In American football, climbing up on your opponent’s shoulders to make a catch will get you flagged. In Australian football, the move, executed by player Andrew Walker, is being lauded as the play of the year. Walker, of the Carlton Football Club, and his piggy-back ride of catch have to be seen to be believed — check out the clip below:

We're coming up on the middle of July as I put these words on the page, and we still don't know if there's going to be a 2011 NFL season. All in all I think it's pretty pathetic. With over $1 billion on the line, the players are owners are STILL talking, and according to reports, making very little progress.

Ok,we've all seen those commercials with Larry Bird and Michael Jordan doing their trick shots. Well, I stumbled upon this video of Johnny Mac, quarterback for UConn, doing football trick shots. Are the shots real? I think so, but honestly, it doesn't matter, these are freakin' bad ass...

I was pleasantly surprised at how good last year's Superbowl halftime performance by the Who turned out. If you've followed the band over the last 5 or 6 years, you know how much trouble Roger Daltrey is having with his voice. No disrespect to him at all...

There's a good luck charm in the Steelers locker room. It's taken on a life of its own, and its known respectfully as 'The Beard'. Defensive end Brett Keisel has been growing his beard for 8 solid months, and its a monster. The beard should have its own zip code...

We make sandwiches for lunch.  Earlier this week, my wife pulled a new jar of pickles out of the fridge, and it said 'Official Pickle Of the Dallas Cowboys' on the lid. Best Maid pickles are made in the DFW metroplex so it makes sense I suppose...

This week in sports, the contenders for the Vince Lombardi trophy were whittled down to four, tennis stars competed for the Australian Open title, and snowboarders defied gravity at the Snowboard World Championships in Spain. These are some of the weeks best moments caught on camera...
