3 days ago A year ago, they called it Bluegrass Armageddon when Kentucky and Louisville met in the Final Four. Can you imagine what would happen if those two hated rivals played for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP?!?
5 days ago The NBA's so-called "one-and-done" rule--a kid has to be 19 before he can play pro ball--has come under fire since its inception. It was set up to eliminate the growing phenomenon of a decade ago wherein high school seniors were jumping straight to the league.
Richard "Dick" Trickle died Thursday at the age of 71. His body was discovered next to his pickup truck at a cemetery in Lincoln County, North Carolina, after the longtime NASCAR and short-track driver shot himself, according to police.
2 weeks ago Faith Hill announced last month that her intro duties for Sunday Night Football would be ending after six seasons. As a big football fan, I've grown accustom to watching Faith kick off every Sunday night game. And, to be honest, I sing along with her and get up and dance too! So, for me to think of anyone else but Faith performing "Waiting All Day For Sunday Night', I get a little concerned. But, they've recently announced who her replacement is, have you heard?!? SHE is a fellow country music superstar AND has equally hot legs! Any guesses??
3 weeks ago It's fair to say that UK forward Nerlens Noel could have taken anyone to the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. As it turns out, his guest for the Run for the Roses was the most special guest of all at Churchill Downs that day.
Orb has won the 139th Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
If you want to get your kids outside, away from their Xbox or Wii, and interested in some of your backyard garden projects, you’ll probably need to be somewhat inventive with your gardening ideas. Pulling weeds and planting flowerbeds just won’t cut it for most of children. Think incentive here.
We have some ideas.

3 weeks ago I remember Jump Roping for Heart one Saturday morning at Thruston School. Dozens of us elementary school kids were there, back in the day, to jump rope and raise money for the American Heart Association. Our gym teacher, Mr. Marx, put Irene Cara's "Fame" on the record player and off we went. We were going to live . . . or jump rope . . . forever and light up the skies with our names. LOL! I think we jumped rope for about three hours straight and we thought we were jump roping all-stars. Boy, were we wrong! Check this gal out! She's billed on YouTube as Jump Rope Girl: The World's Best Jump Roper. And, make no mistake . . . she is definitely that. This is INSANE!!
4 weeks ago Jason Collins has played in the NBA for 12 years for six different organizations. He has appeared in two NBA finals. He graduated from Stanford University and Harvard Westlake High School. For a man who has been mostly associated with his basketball abilities, today, he is making headlines for other reasons.
Collins, with the help of Franz Lidz of SI.com, introduced himself to the world in a new light...
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."

4 weeks ago In February, Louisville Head Basketball Coach Rick Pitino promised his team that if they won the National Championship, he would get a tattoo. The players took care of bringing the trophy back to Louisville and it was time for Coach to man up on his end of the bet.
So, even thou I could have done without seeing Coach Pitino without his shirt off today, check out the pics of his new ink! I'll be honest, I thought he would get something small and semi-hidden...nope! It's on his upper back and big!
Check it out!
