The Rider Raiders are having one heckuva season! They're just one win away from taking the Texas State Baseball Championship and that game is this evening at 7:00 o'clock. If you can't make it down to Round Rock to watch the Raiders take on Corpus Christi in the UIL Class 4A State Finals, there are a couple of ways you can follow along.
June 10, 2011 It may only be the second week of June, but the pennant race in both leagues for classiest move by a major league team is over.
Earlier this week, the Texas Rangers drafted a paralyzed player in this year’s Major League Baseball draft, while their cross-state rivals Houston Astros did the same.
June 7, 2011 The University of Southern California has been part of some amazing history in the annals of college football, but its most recent accomplishment is nothing to be proud of.
The school has been stripped of its 2004 national championship, the Bowl Championship Series announced Monday, in a move directly tied to star running back Reggie Bush playing while ineligible.
June 1, 2011 Jim Tressel has resigned as Ohio State’s football coach in the wake of an ever-growing tattoo-for-memorabilia exchange scandal, but would you classify that as the biggest scandal in sports history?
The New England Sports Network (NESN) seeks to answer that question, with your help, in a new poll asking what is the biggest sports scandal in American sports history.
May 25, 2011 One of the most surreal moments of George W. Bush's presidency happened when a Iraqi reporter threw a shoe at him during a press conference.
Love him or hate him, we can all agree that Bush showed excellent reflexes when he dodged the shoe, which was headed straight for his face.
Those reflexes got another test during Monday night's baseball game between the Texas Rangers and the Chicago White Sox. Bush was sitting in a front row box when a foul ball headed in his direction. While he did flinch a little bit, the 43rd president basically maintained his cool (as opposed to some of the other folks who were in the box) and allowed the ball to bounce harmlessly in front of him.
Read on to see a video of Bush's latest dodge, and the infamous shoe incident.
Legendary wrestler 'Macho Man' Randy Savage died today in a car accident in Tampa, Florida, reports TMZ. He was 58.
Savage's brother, Lanny Poffo, said he passed away after he lost control of his car when he had a heart attack shortly before 9:30AM. The Florida Highway Patrol says Savage drove across a concrete median and into oncoming traffic before he hit a tree.
May 19, 2011 Brady Knowlton is very hands-on when it comes to noodling.
The 30-year-old Texan is pushing the state legislature to pass a bill which would make it legal to noodle, which is fishing with your hands.

Holy Water Hazards, Batman! The Maldives are planning a FLOATING 18 hole golf course! Even better, the different holes are connected by underwater tunnels!
I don't even play golf and I want to see this! The estimated price tag is a paltry $500 Million and it should be open sometime in 2015
April 20, 2011 A robot threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Wednesday afternoon's game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers.
The robot, appropriately named Philliebot, was created by University of Pennsylvania students Jordan Brindza and Jamie Gewirtz, and is part of Science Day at Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia.
April 11, 2011 George Strait has figured out how to get the tee-times he wants: he's buying a golf course.
UConn beat Butler last night in the NCAA Championship game with a score of 53-41; which sounds more like a junior varsity game score to me. Since all of our March Madness brackets were pretty much doomed after the Round of 64, this game just didn't seem as exciting as it should have been.
