Despite relentless efforts to turn her, I’m pretty confident she would rather watch QVC, infomercials or play Call of Duty Modern Warfare. rather than spend time watching a good old athletic competition. Albeit, a girl who wants to play C.O.D. is reason enough to turn a girlfriend into [...]

Brandon Marshall’s troubles with the Denver Broncos were pretty well documented.

He’s already [...]

The St Louis Rams refused to increase O. J. Atogwe’s tender to 110% of his 2009 salary, so the safety is now an unrestricted free agent and should have plenty of teams calling for his duties.
