Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed is an unrestricted free agent, and his choice of team has been narrowed down to two: the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens. According to Adam Schefter, it could go either way. Then Pitbull got involved.

Yesterday, when we posted the video of Alex Morgan’s transformation into Katy Perry for ESPN the Magazine’s music issue, we noted our fondness for the idea in general, and thought it would eventually warrant a post on the rest of the transformations, too. Well, friends, that time has come.

Dirk Nowitzki took a lot of good-natured ribbing for his singing of “We Are The Champions” when the Mavs won the title in 2011.

Rappers have been dropping LeBron James’ name in song since he was in high school. But it used to be in a nice way. Now, via a new track from Tyler the Creator? Not so much.

You might remember “Fix The Knicks,” a song penned by Knicks owner/destroyer James Dolan, and how we predicted Knicks fans would not be “Fix The Knicks” fans. Well, someone else isn’t a fan, either: the most successful coach in NBA history.

Major League Baseball is receiving low TV ratings, has a backward social media strategy, and was recently overshadowed by the NFL free agency frenzy. So how does the league respond to its waning popularity? With tickets to a concert the market it should appeal to won’t be interested in? Yes!
