Hey,

Usain Bolt has left the world speechless again, but how does his Berlin performance compare to that of Jesse Owens 73 years earlier? Have a look, comment, and rate if you have the time!

Rivalries...An essential part of sports today. There are so many, but today I look at the most famous feud in sports being the Boston Red Sox/ New York Yankees feud. For over 100 years, these two teams had been at each other's throats in hopes to win it all in the Fall Classic. So many historic moments that it would be hard to recap their entire history. Here is a short summary of sports' most well known rivalry

Hey,

Today I look back at one of the modern comeback stories that has touched fans of all kinds. This story is about a modern day marvel who had a bright future, only to be setback by abuse of his body. This comeback story of Josh Hamilton himself describes why, nobody is perferct.

Enjoy

I generally don't post articles on everyones board, usually the same 5-10 people, and I usually write each person an individual message, but this one is really special to me and I am hoping everyone can take a few minutes to read it. Thank you. I appreciate it.

My recap of the Phillies' first week of the season. Despite the obvious struggles (starting pitching), this team has emerged with a 4-3 record. That puts the 2009 team on pace to win more games than it did in the 2008 World Championship season...

In a sport where guys start to show their age in their early to mid 30s, the Phillies' Jamie Moyer is a physical freak of nature. In a good way.

Baseball season is less than two weeks away, and to get the city of Philadelphia excited to defend the World Championship, I thought I would recap the 2008 season.

This article includes the ten best regular season games and five best postseason games of the 2008 season, plus two bonus games from 2007 that I couldn't resist including.

In a perfect world, players like Brian Dawkins and Marvin Harrison would retire with the teams for which they had spent their whole career.

Not so in the NFL...

This past weekend, the Eagles signed Leonard Weaver to a one-year deal to be the team's starting fullback. No more converted defensive tackles - we finally have a reliable fullback with experience!
