Yes, the big day was yesterday. The day when Nike changed everything by unveiling the new NFL uniforms (Reebok had been making them).

And as you can see, they… look exactly the same. I asked the Gearhead what he thought. He said “Well, they have two holes to put your arms through. And another hole where your neck goes.”

Opening Day is here! Well, actually, Opening Day was here more than a week ago when the Mariners and A’s played to games in Japan. Then there were no games for nine days. Makes sense, right? It’s all part of Commissioner Allan Selig’s master plan to make people watch less baseball.

What's it like to play at the World's Most Famous Arena? I got a chance to find out a few weeks ago when Foot Locker invited a group of journalists to play in a scrimmage at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of its Hottest Month Ever campaign.  

After changing into our game gear in the MSG visitor's locker room, the journalists-turned-hoopsters milled about in the tunnel outside the court, waiting for the green light to go on the floor. Let's just say we didn't look like the most athletic bunch. "I want to see someone dunk like Blake Griffin," joked one Foot Locker employee.

"Blake Griffin? More like Peter Griffin," cracked one journalist, referring to the dad from Family Guy.

Meet the Next Generation of NASCAR Stars 9


When I was younger I played little league baseball with the hope of eventually cranking homers out of Yankee Stadium as a pro. A lot of kids today do the same thing. But not all sports have such widespread youth opportunities.

If you want to grow up to race NASCAR’s best speedsters, you have a much tougher road ahead. Racing Dreams, a new documentary debuting on PBS tonight, follows three kids trying to break into the professional racing circuit and all of the problems that accompany that dream.

Man, it's been a whirlwind of a first half of the season! Thankfully there has been no shortage of great storylines so far. From Chris Paul jelling with Blake Griffin to Jeremy Lin taking centerstage in New York City, the 2011-12 season has been one of the most exciting in recent years. With NBA All-Star Weekend coming up, it's time to make sense of all the madness. Here are my midseason awards:

The Most Linsane Hat You Will See All Season 66


If you've turned on a TV, logged onto the internet or even walked outside at any point in the last two weeks, you’ve probably been hit right smack in the middle of the face with a heaping helping of Linsanity. And why not? Jeremy Lin is sweeping the nation and it’s easy to see why. In his nine games this season as a starter, Lin has racked up 24.6 points per game and 9.4 assists per game.

The hype, the catchphrase (LINSANITY!), the wins! It’s all really cool. And now, Jeremy Lin gets his own hat.
