Former Denver Broncos' tight end Shannon Sharpe had a reputation for letting his mouth run like a faucet. Never was this more apparent then in the days prior to Super Bowl XXXIII when he engaged in a rivalry with Atlanta Falcons' Pro-Bowl corner back Ray Buchanan. Buchanan ripped Sharpe to shreds with his trash talk, saying he looked like Mr. Ed. When Sharpe was informed of this banter he gave us a ...

Dear LeBron James, Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli once wrote, "The end justifies the means." This quote has one simple interpretation: If your objective is good, do what it takes to achieve it. Keep that information in your back pocket for now, LeBron.

In about three months, the best thing since sliced bread will be hitting the open market. My bad, sliced bread is actually the best thing since LeBron James. Since my crystal ball ran out of battery, I'll have to predict where James will end up just like the rest of us. Luckily, I've created an extremely simple formula to calculate where the King will most likely take his throne this summer. Here's how the ...
