Landon Donovan: Who Will Replace Him as the Next USMNT Talisman?

The soccer talisman: the player that possesses almost supernatural powers for his team and leads them to victory. The player who if the team is without, they will struggle to win.

USMNT: Top 10 Goals of All Time

Let’s be honest, to narrow down the top 10 goals in U.S. Men’s National Team history is somewhat crazy.

Tennis: Is Novak Djokovic the Next Roger Federer or Mats Wilander?

In 2011, Novak Djokovic was undoubtedly the best player on the planet.

He began the season with a 41-match winning streak....

It took until late December, but a new candidate for worst celebrity rap video of the year has emerged.
