Tonight is a big night for Owensboro Catholic Lady Aces basketball star, Becca Greenwell. While she has traveled all over the world playing for the Team USA U16 and U17 Teams and won gold and MVP honors in international events, she has never played live on ESPN. Well, this evening, that is all going to change. Becca is set to play in tonight's McDonald's All-American game in Chicago. And, last week, the McDonald's at Towne Square North in Owensboro held Becca's official send-off party and, there, I sat down with #23 to talk high school hoops, her college plans and playing on the international stage! WATCH!

I think we’ve all heard the term “white men can’t jump” but newly crowned Nascar Sprint Cup Champ Brad Keselowski gives the saying a whole new meaning. I stumbled upon this video where Keselowski, in a break at a Charlotte Bobcats game, tried to show off his shooting, dribbling, and passing skills. The results are [...]

Winning UGLY!

Has March ever been THIS maddening? Monday's National Championship game had all the makings of a classic. On one side, you had the U Conn Huskies, who rebounded from a rather average 9-9 record in the Big East conference to storm through the conference tournament and the NCAA tournament. On the other, the Butler Bulldogs, who had battled into the title game for the 2nd consecutive year (a feat unheard of for a mid-major)! Yes, it was the Huskies vs the Bulldogs for the National Crown and, boy, the game was a DOG!
