NMATV animation's latest video features Amar'e Stoudemire and his fire extinguisher incident. They also break down Carmelo Anthony and former coach Mike D’Antoni’s relationship.

Troy Aikman has been popping up everywhere with some hot looking blondes on his arm. After his divorce, there were rumors of Aikman and ESPN’s own Erin Andrews being the sports couple of the moment.

After falling behind 2-0 in the match against Novara, Fiorentina manager Delio Rossi felt his midfielder Adem Ljajic was underperforming, so he subbed him after only 32 minutes of play. When Ljajic sarcastically applauded Rossi's move, the manager responded by punching him in the face.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Jeremy Affeldt may be considered injury prone. He came home from a long day and was greeted by his excited four-year-old, who jumped off the couch and into his arms, causing the pitcher to sprain his knee in the process. Last September he missed all of 2011 with an injury he received peeling apart frozen hamburgers.
