One of the trade rumors floating around includes acquiring T-Mac, Brian Cook, and Joey Dorsey for Jared Jeffries, Larry Hughes, and Jordan [...]]]></description>

As a fan and admirer of Tiger Woods&#8217;s contribution to the sport of golf and to the sports landscape in general, I felt torn about this entire Tiger situation. He&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Pacquiao has been absolutely ruthless since his second victory over Juan Manuel Marquez back in 2008.

I don&#8217;t really care about the [...]]]></description>
