sports survey of the day

Almost a year later, we finally have a sentence for former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. But does it go far enough for the crimes he committed?

Yesterday we went over who the best quarterbacks in the NFL were, so it only makes sense to also take a look at some of the worst. There certainly are a lot to choose from.

The 2012 NFL season is flying by. We are almost through week five, so we have to ask who is the best quarterback after the first five games?

Major League Baseball's regular season is in the books. We move on to the postseason now, but first a quick look back. It's safe to say that many people thought that Bobby Valentine's employment as manager of the Red Sox would be terminated at some point soon.

Hockey is back! Hockey is dead! Today may be the day that we find out which of those statements will turn out correct. The NHL preseason has already been cancelled, and the lockout is about to enter its third week. Stunningly, today is the first time the players and the owners have even met to discuss anything since September 15.
