Mike Tyson is the star of a new six-part reality TV series called "Taking on Tyson," which starts next month and examines the former heavyweight boxing champion's lifelong love of pigeons, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

Spring Training is a week old and the players have all reported to their respective parks in Arizona and Florida. The familiar faces are back, looking to improve upon last season - even the San Francisco Giants who have to face a lot of adversity being the defending champs. But the eyes of the fan bases are always on the new comers, especially if they are big free agent splashes.

Normally, when a former beloved player returns to their old stomping grounds, the fans usually provide a warm reception for that player. Even in Philly, they will cheer the introductions of Brian Dawkins and Donovan McNabb. However, that will not be the case at Citizens Bank Park on May 3rd.

In a race to be the first at something, again, the Russians are looking to do something that has never been done before.

Not sure if the foot fetish videos were used as a demo reel for good ol' Rex Ryan or his bravado during HBO's "Hard Knocks" but the New York Jets' head coach will be on the small screen very soon.

According to the New York Post, Ryan and Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum were in Los Angeles to shoot an episode of the CBS hit drama, "CSI: NY."

One of the things that we all dislike about sports is the money aspect. We would rather hang with our friends and discuss the in's and out's of our favorite teams than to discuss how long the mediator held another session with the NFL and NFLPA.

Nothing tastes better than a hard earned victory. Whether it's in the boxing ring, after a Super Bowl, on the pitch during the World Cup, with your teammates after the final out of a World Series, or in Trevor Bayne's case, while crossing the finish line at the Daytona 500. At that moment, life is couldn't get any better.

We are shocked to hear who went and actually saw Justin Bieber's movie, "Never Say Never."

Granted, I saw the movie because my daughter is almost 8 years old and love Bieber. So I took one for the team and you can't say anything about it. But according to our friends at Larry Brown Sports, we are shocked to hear that a few manly men went to see the movie during their Spring Training down time.

With Carmelo Anthony now a New York Knickerbocker, the Knicks have taken a step backwards in terms of this season. And possibly next season as well. This move was made so that the Knicks could be great in the future and take a solid run at the NBA title during the 2012-2013 season.
