Heat is up, Cavs are down

·

Despite taking his talents to South Beach over the summer and losing credibility because of it, Miami forward LeBron James has been putting up MVP-caliber stats this season.



SPORTS FBN-SUPERBOWL 361 FT

Rodgers has stellar Super Bowl

·

Super Bowl XLV was as eventful as any other Super Bowl, and at the same time just as forgettable. The game had everything you could look for in a Super Bowl: two great teams with great quarterbacks, two passionate fanbases, typically over-the-top commercials, ridiculous performances by stale acts during halftime and a drawn out rendition of our national anthem (this year, some lyrics were optional).

Men's basketball should let Ramsey stay

·

It’s reasonable to say this season has been disappointing for Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball . After finishing 17-15 last year, the team recorded its first winning season under sixth-year coach Charles Ramsey. Many were expecting the program to continue to improve. Instead, the Eagles have taken a step back this season.

Thomas' efforts 'invaluable' for women's basketball defense

A tough warrior, someone who isn’t afraid to sacrifice her body for the sport, a person that’s been described by coach AnnMarie Gilbert as a “blue-collar baller.” If this is what you’re looking for, let me suggest two-year member of the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team Kristin Thomas.

Student athletes compensated, not paid to play

·

Life for a college student-athlete can be a hectic. Early wake-up times, practices, team meetings and traveling out-of-state for competitions are just a few things the average student-athlete at any division-one school has to juggle. And don’t forget, they must stay on top of their grades, too.


Huffins

Huffins brings Olympic experience to track coaching staff
