This is like when that guy spent $20,000 on the gum that Luis Gonzalez spit out as he was running down the 1st base line.

Whats with these players today. I dont remember superstarts of the past succumbing to injuries at this rate. Jordan, Magic, Bird...those guys never missed games. Now, the only superstars 's able to avoid the bug are Nash and Lebron.

Nothing like spending new year's eve watching a washed up QB playing against an overrated defense. Gotta love the NFC!

Cheating has always been a part of sports. I say if you have a chance to get an intellectual edge, take advantage of it.

Time for the Giants to rebuild, Manning has been a wash. Give us a black quarterback who runs trick plays and knows how to throw to the spot and not to the player.

Arsenal anthem required, all tunes accepted 'Stand Up If You Hate Tottenham' is hardly an answer to 'Bubbles' or 'Walk Alone.' Arsenal need a song of their own.

West Ham and Pardew: where did the sentiment go? The sacked Hammers boss was a victim of managerial bloodlust, but the show must go on and Alan Curbishley is the man to replace him

After Martyn, Warne and McGrath, who'll quit cricket next? Many of the world's greatest players are retiring from the game, leaving the fans wanting more and reminiscing about past glories:

I'm really really happy to see AI get out of Philly and play for a contender. However, having the top two scorers in the league on the same team will not be easy to manage. I dont see 'Melo taking a back seat to AI, he's convinced this is his breakout year, so the only way Denver will succeed is if AI concedes to 'Melo. If he can play Pippen to his Jordan for a few years, there is no stopping this team. And if I was Philly, I would lose the rest of this years games and hope for Oden in the draft.

this is a frustrated Knicks team. Its really been amazing that they havent been involved in a brawl before this one.

It sucks to see these guys I grew up watching falling by the wayside.
