After years of speculation and rumors that Reggie Bush had accepted cash, gifts, and even a house from marketing agents at USC, he finally decided that the right thing to do was to give up his Heisman Trophy.

Shaq Vs: Our Requests
Last night I found my self 32 minutes deep into a show about Justin Bieber. I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. I was 32 minutes deep into a show about Justin Bieber going head to head in a song and dance competition with Shaquille O'Neall (what? WHAT?). It was at about minute 40, when I …

5 Things To Do Now The World Cup is Over
And in one long, boring-until-the-last-second match on Sunday, the World Cup is over. Congrats to Spain!

Thanks, Lakers!
What is the deal with Lakers fans? Seriously, you guys are almost as bad as Raiders fans these days, and combined, you're basically just turning our entire state into one big freakshow of people who take professional sports more seriously than their jobs and families.

NBA Finals Drinking Game
Ah, yes, basketball. A good ol' fashioned American sport, with guaranteed rioting, bleeped out curse words, and Jack Nicholson with his sunglasses and 20 year old girlfriend watching from the front row. Oh, and also Delonte West boning Lebron's mom? What? How did I miss that? Anyway, tonight is game 6 of the NBA finals …

Reflections on Day One of the World Cup
HUZZAHHH! It's here! It's finally here! Hooorrayyyyyyyyy! Or something! The first World Cup game went off this morning and I woke up early, brewed some coffee, made myself some toast and sat on my couch to watch what has been built up to be the be-all and end-all of sports events on television, and here …
