The 1971 Los Angeles Lakers set the National Basketball Association (NBA) ablaze when it reeled off 33-straight wins, a record that still stands–for now.

The team has […]

NEW ORLEANS, La.–Win or lose, the Baltimore Ravens will return Feb. 4 from a trip to New Orleans and gear up for next season.

Equipped with air-tight defenses, playmaking quarterbacks, power run games and a set of brothers as head coaches, the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens are virtual mirrors of one another.

It didn’t take long for Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o to go from living legend to laughing stock.
