The beginning of the end for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2006 NBA Playoff Finals came when Miami Heat players discovered that, although they were down "just" 2-0 after the first two games, Dallas was already making official preparations for a victory parade!The insult hit the Heat players really hard but especially Alonzo Mourning, one of Coach John Thompson's terrific Georgetown players (like Patrick Ewing) who never had the chance to wear a championship ring before.But for Mourning it...

Upcoming Events in the World of NASCARNext week, the NASCAR Nextel Cup teams head west, or mid-west to be more exact, to the 1 1/2 mile tri-oval at Michigan International Speedway. Initially, MIS was modeled after the other great 1 1/2 mile speedway, Lowe's Motor Speedway. But after nearly 30 years or racing, it has developed a personality of it's own that no single driver has been able to dominate. Unlike other speedways, since the 2000 season there has never been a single driver to win...
President Bush Met with the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, at the White House, while speaking with them he made reference to people drinking some Iron City Beer in the East Room. This was due to the racket that the team was making while waiting on the president to arrive. Chants of " Here we go Steelers, Here we go!" echoed throughout the White House and drew quite a bit of attention. Considering President Bush states he is a Dallas Cowboys fan, he had to admit the Steelers...
This Saturday, I'll be back at the same sports bar where I watched the Kentucky Derby. If you read my Derby column, I told you to throw out a couple of favorites (Lawyer Ron and Brother Derek), and keep Barbaro, despite history being against him. Unfortunately, I also told you that I like America's favorite bet, the exacta. The exacta always seems do-able, and offers a chance to win some real dollars. And in a field of 20, what were the chances of hitting the Trifecta? Sad to say, that...

What a thrill it must have been, racing around the track in a go cart, a speedy miniature car that had never even existed before. Go carts have only been around for about 50 years, but what an impact they have made on the public in that short period of time.
What started out as a way for airmen in the 1950s to pass the time has turned into a popular worldwide sport for many. Go carts have quickly become a phenomenon all over the globe. With most historians giving Art Ingels the credit...
If you are a new skier, or only an occasional skier, or if you just want to see if skiing is for you, you may want to rent your ski equipment. The equipment for this winter sport can be very expensive and cost-prohibitive in the beginning when you are unsure if this is something that you want to pursue. If you do decide to buy the ski equipment and then you leave it sitting in your garage for years gathering dust, it really is a waste of money. But, you may not be sure how to go about...
How long has hockey been around? It has been around in one form or another almost as long as history. In Ethiopia evidence has been found that dates back 4,000 years. In Greece a tablet that dates B.C. pictures young people playing field hockey. There are records and evidence of this ball and stick game in Rome, Ireland, Scotland, Egypt and South America as well. It was called by different names, but the idea is still the same. "Hockie" as it was called in Ireland centuries ago, is...

It's amazing how dangerous of a sport tennis seems. In every tournament, there is at least one player who sprains, pulls or breaks some part of their body. You'd think these people were playing tackle football. And, the easy-on-the-eyes Andre Agassi, just 36, is no exception. He ducked out of the Nasdaq-100 Open in Miami in late March due to chronic back trouble. Miami was to have been only his fourth event of the season. He left the Australian Open with an ankle injury.Even worse, it...
