The Olympics are a time to celebrate the athletes in the world. Instead, we find ourselves talking about their use of social media. Should athletes be using these sites during big events?

We are a few days into the 2012 London Olympics, and unlike in 2008, Michael Phelps is not the big swimming news.

The 2012 Summer Olympics are set to begin, and while we are excited for most of the scheduled events, there are a few sports we’d like to see included.

Another week in sports, and more athletes seem to be in trouble with the law. So who takes the crown of biggest bonehead right now?

In sports we look at athletes who stick with one team with a lot of respect. If they are getting towards the end of their career and still haven’t won that championship it’s not uncommon to seek a new home.

The scandal at Penn State is one of the worst in the history of sports. The NCAA handed down its punishment on Monday, but was it too harsh?

The Open Championship has come and gone, and Tiger Woods is left without a win. He’s climbing his way back up to the top, but will he win a major in 2012?

The biggest free agent stories of the NBA preseason are Dwight Howard and Jeremy Lin. While Lin has found a home, Howard’s situation is still a nightmare.

Being that we are well into a new millennium, many of the sporting events that we enjoy have been around for awhile. So where does the Open Championship fit in with sporting tradition?

When you are any sort of celebrity, you are in the spotlight. When you’re a professional athlete you’re not only in that spotlight, but you are also considered a role model.

The 1992 Olympic men’s basketball team — dubbed the Dream Team — didn’t know it, but they were setting the bar pretty high for future teams. Now, even the president is involved in the debate.

The whole world will be watching later this month when the Olympics get underway. Sure, these world-class athletes are amazing, but it’s not what they do with their bodies that is so amazing. It may be the bodies themselves.
