For the Sports Fans...

As much as we all love our teams and have our favorites, my goal here is to expose new stuff that is going on in the world of sports that people overlook even as fans so I'll try to find articles on up and coming athletes, interesting perspectives and in-depth stories that go beyond the box scores!

This article might be one of the funniest, interesting, thought-provoking basketball articles I have read in a long time. It's about "What If..." and it just goes through all the big things that have happened in NBA and looks at what might have happened if things went differently over the last few years... imagine Lebron in Memphis! or Duncan in Orlando! or Kobe on LA's other team! Interesting things....

Chris Paul has been getting a lot of hype this season for what he is doing on the court but here's a trip with him off the court and an inside look at his life. Its pretty cool that someone who is so big time still is so down to earth and is trying to be the guy that everyone loves...

With the Rockets having won 19 straight games, ESPN did a little piece on other memorable streaks...its humorous and yet interesting if you do not know much about other famous streaks...

And yes I love baseball so here is an awesome article about two rising stars -- the Upton Brothers! They aren't on great teams but look out for them in the next few seasons to really make a breakthrough...

But the biggest story of this year's baseball season so far is the Detroit Tigers! They went crazy over the summer and pulled off Yankee-esque deals...they brought in Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera and they already had a stacked line up with Pudge Rodriguez, Renteria, Ordonez and a few others. And you can't forget that they still have Zumaya, Bonderman, Verlander and Rogers in a solid pitching rotation! Should be fun to see if they live up to the hype...
