Read more →Editor’s Note: This post is part of a series of weekly posts focused on Aston Villa. Villa sit only five points clear of 18th place and the very real danger of going down increases as the season inches to a close. But a bigger danger looms threatening the long-term viability of Villa as a...

When everyone, from the team’s manager to the casual observer, believes the Indians need additional offensive firepower to compete with Detroit and Chicago for the AL Central, Cleveland’s leadership swims upstream and deals its top two...

But halfway through the 2005 season, the Cincinnati Bengals have established themselves as one of the best teams in a competitive AFC and a legitimate threat to represent the Conference in the Super Bowl come February.

Read more →Proof positive that pro football is a ruthless business, the Cincinnati Bengals waived cornerback Dennis Weathersby. Weathersby struggled through a series of unfortunate events worse than any Mr. Snickets could conjure. After being injured in a drive-by shooting, Weathersby suffered a head injury in a car crash in Springdale last spring. Perhaps Weathersby’s luck...
