San Francisco 49ers’ Wide Receiver Michael Crabtree went down with a torn Achilles tendon on Tuesday. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said that the injury occured in 7-on-7 drills, “He was coming in motion, just planted, started a route and felt like somebody kicked him in Achilles,” Harbaugh said. Obviously, this is a big loss for the 49ers, as Crabtree had a great rapport with quarterback Colin Kaepernick down the stretch last season and appeared to be headed towards a breakout season. Somebody will have to step up and produce for the 49ers, who could that be?

Roger Goodell and the NFL are once again contemplating the idea of expanding the NFL season to 18 games.

Here’s what Goodell said Tuesday morning at the NFL’s spring owners meetings in Boston.

“I hear from fans consistently that they want to make every NFL event more valuable. They see the preseason as being less valuable to them because they don’t see the best players and the games do not count. We have to address that, whether we are looking at 18 [regular-season games] and two [preseason games] or 16-and-two and expanded playoffs.”

But the thing is, the NFL is already a great product. It doesn’t need to be tinkered with or changed.

New England Patriots’ star Tight End Rob Gronkowski is about to go under the knife again. For the fourth time he will undergo surgery on his forearm. Doctors have inserted a metal plate into his arm and there was some sort of an infection growing on the plate. They removed the plate, and now next week they will insert a new one. The Patriots are tight lipped as usual with Gronkowski’s injury, so it is hard to say what to expect as far as a return for the Patriots’ superstar.

Four-star defensive tackle recruit Elisha Shaw has been keeping “tabs” on his ranking from 247Sports.com. The high school defensive end has been rumored to have offers from schools like Alabama, Florida State, Texas, and Georgia.

He was tweeting about how he “needs to get that fifth star” today. If that fifth star you were talking about was Porn Star Isis Taylor, then you’re right Elisha!

Every year, Maxim Magazine ranks the top 100 hottest women on the planet. This year, someone made the list that no one saw coming…literally.

Manti Te’o’s ex-girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, came in on Maxim’s list at #69 this year. Interesting number choice to say the least.

Miley Cyrus topped Maxim’s Top 100 this year, followed by Selena Gomez at two and Rihanna at three.

After 16 season in the NFL, all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ronde Barber has decided to hang up his cleats and call it a career. When I heard the news the other day, the first question I asked myself, as I usually do when players retire, is Barber a Hall of Famer?

In a previous article months ago, I expressed my disappointment and disapproval of former Lion, Titus Young. I’m clearly not a fan. Guilty. Just as guilty as good ol’ Titus was this past weekend….TWICE in 15 hours.

By now you’ve seen the picture/meme of “sad Tebow.”  Our friends at FanSpeak took the image a little further and created this infographic that asks the question “Where will Tim Tebow go next?”  Which of these options do you think is the best fit or most likely outcome for Tim Tebow?

I’ve been far too depressed about the Knicks’ loss to the Pacers to talk about actual sports or regular pop culture stuff that I’m usually used to writing about so I decided to flip the script a little bit here. How? Oh, why not make fun of the crazy things that famous people wore to the Met Gala? What’s the Met Gala you ask? It’s the annual opening of the fashion exhibit in the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume institute. So a lot of famous people who take themselves too seriously like to wear ridiculous stuff to get themselves photographed. I decided to start with Victor Cruz up top because the man just knows how to keep it classy. Everyone after that picture has lost their goddamn minds. All photos were stolen from New York Magazine’s website. Let’s take a gander, shall we? Read the rest of this entry »

Root, root, root, root for the home clothes!

As the 2013 baseball season enters its second month, New York Mets first baseman Ike Davis looks as though his major league career might not be long for this Earth.  This is the second straight year that Ike has gotten off to a horrifically brutal start.  Last year it was slightly understandable as his ankle wasn’t fully healed and he had a slight bout with Valley Fever.   But this season after posting better than a .300 average in spring training (I know spring training doesn’t mean much.)  it looked like Ike would be closer to where he was before his ankle injury in 2011.
