The math is pretty simple for the Detroit Tigers. A win by the Tigers in any of their last three games of the season at Kansas City will result in the Tigers winning the American League Central title. A loss by the Chicago White Sox will accomplish the same result, as the second place Sox visit Cleveland to wrap up their season.

Sometimes the real winner in a race is the one who realizes victory isn't everything, which is just what happened earlier this week at a high school cross-country meet in Tennessee
Seventeen-year-old Seth Goldstein, a senior at Cooper Yeshiva High School, was rounding his second turn in the race when one of his opponents collapsed in front of him from a heat-induced seizure. That's when Goldstein snapped into action.
The Internet may have revolutionized the way many of us get the news, but according to a Harris Poll of 2,307 adults, a majority of Americans still prefer an older technology when it comes to their preferred method of news accumulation.
September 27, 2012 Bowling shoes for ladies are ugly! As a woman, I hate to put them on. They are boring and flat and very, very unattractive. I'm surprised that someone hasn't seen the need for something a little bit sexier before now.

As you may have heard, hobos and miscreants are in charge of refereeing NFL games now! Or, rather, the NFL has decided to use high school referees as replacements while it negotiates with the actual referees' union, which has led to the occasional minor controversy. And while Monday's night's disastrous ending to the Packers-Seahawks game is probably the pinnacle (or nadir) of this sad saga, there were already plenty of questionable, puzzling and downright infuriating officiating decisions leading up to it.
Let's have a look, shall we?
By now, even non-football fans have heard about the officiating debacle in last night's showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks (just check your Facebook feed). Facing a 12-7 deficit with just seconds left to play, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson rolled out of the pocket and threw a desperation heave into the end zone, resulting in a game-clinching interception for the Packers.
Except it wasn't. Instead, the NFL's much-maligned replacement officials inexplicably ruled the play a touchdown for the Seahawks, ignoring an obvious offensive pass-interference penalty and cementing the phrase "simultaneous catch" into the lexicon of poor sports officiating.
This screw-up will, hopefully, lead to the return of the real refs—but let's not forget that they too have made their share of awful calls over the years. Here's a look at some of the NFL's most controversial officiating decisions:
September 25, 2012 We are well in to the football season, and what high school or college football team would be complete without a marching band. This group of musical machines got the crowd going as they busted into "Gangnam Style" in the middle of their performance! They go 'Gangnam' at 1:27. Enjoy!
